Internet dating?

met man on the internet the end of january in the uk and i am from united states. we have talked everyday on the phone since sometimes up to maybe 6 hours a day most days about 3 hours. have spent time on the computer with the cam, so we have seen each other and have sent emails to each other. have exchanged pictures and so forth. we both feel we love each other and have shared things most people never know about each other, just wondering what your thoughts would be if asked you advice.

Internet dating?
well, online dating hasn't really work for me.


so i hope you can understand my hatred as i hear it has worked for YOU =P





you two definitely sound like you should at least give it a shot.





your first couple of face-to-face meetings should in public places, though.


and wear a necklace! or something around the neck!


dark glasses are a good idea too.





don't dress TOO colorful.


hope that helps!
Reply:You or he could book a holiday and one go visit the other xx
Reply:Well me personally would never trust an internet relationship because no matter how long you have known each other through the internet he could still be psyco. But if you really believe in this then maybe you should meet in person. Do it in a real busy place and go from there. Go by your first instinct. Good Luck.
Reply:know that a person never really knows the other person not even when they are married. It's more difficult to check someone out when they are from or in anothr country. I don't understand how someone could "love each other" if you've never seen someone in person. It could be the start of something or it could be dilusional.
Reply:what's the question? When r u 2 moving closer together?
Reply:He needs to fly over here and meet you, go out on a few dates,


have sex, see where it takes you....
Reply:I think internet dating is cool, its another way to find people for love. However if you guys do plan to visit each other, it'd be risky because you dont know him personally yet. Its awesome that you guys are able to talk so long on the phone when you guys live in two different places. Ive been on a internet relationship too. But when I got to talk to the guy on the phone it wont last very long. I usually run out of things to say because we dont live in the same area. I hate long distance relationships because I have trouble trusting the guy when I dont get to see him.





Anyway, it seems you both will have a chance of getting together, since you guys have strong communication. So, good luck!
Reply:internet dating is more like an addiction than love. you should unplug your pc for a couple of weeks and see if you still feel the same way
Reply:NEXT MOVE PLEASE!
Reply:go to the next step .. you are ripe now!
Reply:Once again. I have answered this question earlier. You are in the best position to judge what is going on. However, in my opinion internet chatting is a bunch of bull, and face to face is the only way to go. My philosophy is, if I can't touch you, I can't know you. Physical presence is always best.
Reply:Dont do it
Reply:will you invite us for your marriage?
Reply:i have, just watch urself and becarefull, even on the street u never know if they r telling the truth u really have to get to know them to find out if they r lieing or not their voice, they don't straight in ur eye's stuff like that. plzzzz just becarefull. sign baby gurl....


Internet dating?!?

My best friends dumped her boyfriend of three years about three months ago for no apparant reason. And has now become addicted to dating people she meets on myspace and msn. I don't think its safe or practical and i know she could do so much better. She got a bunch of guys around her hometown after her, i just don't understand why she's wasting her time?!

Internet dating?!?
Any online dating site is risky, I have met ppl thru Yahoo Personals %26amp; only had one bad exp. The guys on myspace just seem to want sex. Not that the men on Yahoo aren't the same but they are less brazen. All you can do is look out for her %26amp; see she is safe. Have her call you periodically when she goes out. Maybe eventually she will come around. In my case I don't go to church, all my neighbors %26amp; friends are married or gay %26amp; I work @ home so I don't know how the hell else to meet people. Also I always meet in a restaurant or other public place for the first date.
Reply:Just found it funny how this question was asked in the mental health section :D


edit: also, she probably would rather go online to find people because there is more of a variety and people are more willing to express who they really are (or aren't!) on the internet - not that i find what she is doing right.
Reply:Maybe she's not looking for someone that is "after her"...maybe she is enjoying being talked to. I never done the internet dating thing, but from what I hear, it is the definite way to go now when your looking for a relationship. People that don't go to church, or that don't like to go to bars really don't have much of a choice but to date on the net, which to me is really just like meeting someone you don't know from a bar and dating them.


Internet dating?

i met my new girlfriend, who recently moved in with me on the internet. what 's your opinion?

Internet dating?
Superb , i have done the same and we are very happy indeed, we gt to know eachother on a diff level and a more personal one. i think its great good for you.
Reply:if you are happy then im happy for ya. peace
Reply:Good for you, I hope you have many happy years together.
Reply:Well...without much other information to go on, I guess I can only say good for you and I hope it lasts!
Reply:My opinion is it's a bit late to ask as she already moved in,lol.I met my boyfriend online and I love him to bits and I think that despite finding him incredibly attractive it might have not worked if I had met him in a pub or anywhere else because it took me a month of chats and phone calls to find the angel past the gruff exterior.lol
Reply:I think that it can happen...True love can happen anywhere and anytime. I dont think that i would find it that way. But thats cause i already found my love!!lol but i am happy for you and i think thats great.
Reply:she moved with u on the internet...wat do u mean


if u like her go fo it but deres never that trust really and it's never the same as meetin someone personally
Reply:i have never been into internet daiting and have never done it so i have no right to tell you whats wrong or right about it . all i will say is becareful people arnt always who they seem to be online and is she found you online she could just keep chating if ya know what i mean with that. good luck
Reply:i hate internet dating
Reply:It's fine as long as you guys are getting along great
Reply:if she moved in with you, what do you care what we think?? it wont matter any way..right?
Reply:I haven't dated anyone through the internet. However, if you're both happy, that's cool.
Reply:I met my girlfriend the same way and she moved in with me 2 years ago, its great.
Reply:hope it works for you mate i am hoping to meet a girl i have been talking too for 4 months online so good on you.
Reply:Are you planning on hearing the pitter patter of tiny bits and bytes in the near future?
Reply:There is nothing wrong with interent dating, if you like her (obviously you do why ask her to move in)


some last a very long time some dont, but dont give up on it if you have a little lovers tiff, the right love is worth fighting for








i met my hubby on the CB radio(same sort of thing) over 24 years ago, were still madily in love and are going to be grandparents, so it does work





good luck


Internet Dating?

My friend has been dating this new guy for just about a month. She met him online and they are not exactly an exclusiv couple as they are both on the website where they met and still talk to other people. They have gone out together several times and she really enjoys his company and he enjoys hers too and seems to really like her. She asked me if she should buy him a Christmas gift and what kind of gift she should purchase. I told her that I think it was too soon to buy a gift for him, what should she do?

Internet Dating?
keep the gift simple its all in the thought and giving season....


Tickets or dinner for two at a local restaurant
Reply:she should buy it
Reply:Hmmm...If she really likes him and he likes her, it should be okay to get him something "thoughtful" that is inexpensive; just a little something that shows she was thinking of him this holiday season. By this gesture, I mean, a book (if he is an avid reader) or ornament (if he celebrates and has a tree) - something that is thoughtful and shows common friendship.





I think it would nice since they've gone out several times and the season is upon us. If it were Valentine's Day, I'd say no, that it would then be inappropriate due to the course of that particular occasion.
Reply:Maybe she should give a small gift just to show that she cares for him
Reply:if she really likes him and they are spending time together, buy a gift.....something nice but inexpensive...a scarf, a book that he might like, if he has a hobby then something for that....not too much money and not too personal...it's the thought that counts....
Reply:I don't think it's too soon to buy a little gift...I wouldn't spend anymore than $10 or so though. Maybe a wireless mouse, keyboard or something on sale at Circuit City. She needs to understand that he probably won't buy her anything though.





Incidently, I met my hubby online and we're happily married.
Reply:A small, inexpensive, impersonal gift would be fine.





Or a gag gift, if that's what floats their boats.
Reply:it really depends on her, and their relationship. I, personally, am a very giving person. If I like someone then I tend to do little things like pick up their fave candy bar when I'm in line at the grocery store, or something like that. I think that if she wants to get him something then it should just be something small... maybe a CD or cheap movie that he wants. Maybe something that pertains to a little inside joke that they have. I wouldn't spend a lot of money but it would still be a nice gesture. :)
Reply:If they're not exclusive there's no reason she should feel she needs to buy him a Christmas present - especially if they're still actively playing the field and neither of them has taken their personal down yet. They are clearly not serious enough yet for her to get him a present if they're both "still looking". I met my boyfriend online and we both had our personals down within a week of meeting each other, so I know a bit about this.

Internet Dating?

I have recently hit a new low for dating, I signed up for an online daint service. Do they actually work? Has anyone had success with them. I'm not even looking for a relationship just someone to hang out w/. Should I pay for these site or just try my luck on MySpace? Any success stories w/ MySpace? I need advice?

Internet Dating?
Be afraid, be very afraid. O.K., I HAVE done the internet dating service routine. However, I used one free date site and one called singles.net. The latter one is a scam. You will just receive emails from scammers from across the country and other countries saying they are poor women needing help for their families, etc. Stay away from singles.net. I was on "plentyoffish.com", and it is absolutely free, and I did meet 2 ladies. Unfortunately, neither situation worked out as they did not post the truth about themselves. I could go into details, but it would take a long time. It was not because of me. Myspace might work, but it is more for networking and other things than dating, in my opinion, even thought I have a page there. Church, maybe any place where there are people? It sucks, I know!
Reply:You are welcome and good luck! Report It

Reply:i met my boyfriend on myspace.. he messaged me.. we talked a little (maybe only a week or so) and we agreed to meet up.. we hung out the entire day.. and have been pretty well inseperable ever since..





:)








and have been together for over 2 years
Reply:hmmm.... well, I met a guy on myspace who was just a friend and... we ended up hitting it off really well. We dated, roamed the US, and he had a lot of commitment issues. Whenever we went from dating to being in a commited relationship (aka living together, sharing a vehicle, sharing expenses) he would freak out, break up with me, and then the next day get over it... He was single for a reason. He needs to be single. My sister on the other hadn met a guy on eharmony.com and... they are VERY compatible. She's happy. I honestly think you should try both sites.


Internet dating?

I been taking to this guy on the internet and we planned on meeting, he seems really super nice. I just never ever met anyone who has done such a thing, I just wanted to know if there is anyone who has done this, and has it ever worked out for you? (p.s-we planned on meeting around family and friends, and not alone)

Internet dating?
I have done that before. If you want to meet with him, it's all right, as long as you bring your parents along. Have them talk to him, get to know him a little, and then see how things go. I have done that a lot and things were ok with me.
Reply:Sounds like a good plan for your meeting. Yes, it can and does work. It can be harder to keep it in perspective (we create our dream image). Have fun and good luck.
Reply:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


BAD IDEA he can pull a gun and kill all of u!





Look below for more info


Internet dating?

i met this guy online hes sweet and hesa gamer like me soon i was wondering if internrt dating is safe b/c he asked me if i wabted to b his gf. but he lives in texas n i live in ca...

Internet dating?
Let me give you an exmaple of what happened to one woman I knew who left to go live with a man she met online.





Guy told her everything she wanted to hear, sent her all kinds of expensive gifts, had her call him every chance she could, told her he owned this that and everything inbetween so she packs ups and leaves to be with him.





As it turns out, this " rich guy " was living off his mother, using her credit card to buy the woman stuff ( without his mother's knowledge ), and did not own anything, but by this time she had quit her job, sold everything where she had lived to be with him.





People in your own area try to play you, so what makes anyone think people online are any more honest ?
Reply:You have to be very careful with Internet dating! How long ago did you meet this guy? If it hasn't been very long be careful! You really don't know him yet and it could be risky! Be Careful! RandyCasino!!!!
Reply:If you want to be lied to, go ahead. I've done some research on a site with several profiles I created (all very pretty pics of women added) %26amp; several of same guys used same lines on every single girl. All lies %26amp; games as far as I can see. This was for an assignment %26amp; done over a month period. Trust me, he may not %26amp; probably isn't who or what he says. Sorry, sweetie. I wish it wasn't true, but it is.
Reply:It can be, but like most things in life it always carries a negative risk. Its hard enough dating people in your area, do you want to take a chance with a guy online?
Reply:Sorry to break it to you, but the relationship is not going to work out. If you aren't planning to meet him in person, don't think about having an internet relationship. Without physical contact with this guy, you're missing an aspect of normal relationships, which means that internet relationships don't function the way real life relationships do. Just talking online and on the phone with him maybe okay for you guys, but you will have doubts about the relationship later on.





I think meeting/dating people from the internet is fine and it can be safe if you're being safe about it, but the people you meet should live near your area. In order to make an internet relationship work out, you need to be able to be with that person physically too.
Reply:i used to internet date email me if you wanna talk


Internet Dating?

I am not longer want to go out and meet people, so I prefer to meet them on Dating sites. However, it's unreal the games that are going on there too. I am helplessly frustrated to try to fnd someone decent. You meet someone, the chat began, the mail exchange, but soon these men want to talk about sex or want to see my breast or nudity on webcam. I really don't know what to do anymore, even thou I am an attractive woman, can't meet anyone, or keep anyone seriously interested. Do I maybe come accross to desperate? What should I do?

Internet Dating?
That sort of sounds like guys all over, really. Even if you were to go out and meet guys - then you talk - then you SMS or email or whatever





Pretty soon they want to talk about sex or see your breasts :)





I guess the thing in the face-to-face situation is that there is a certain amount of societal restriction that they acknowledge.





On the internet, you don't have to be so bound. They feel they can just ask and expect ... or go off to some porn site.





So:





o Bring any internet contacts to a face-to-face situation early


o Revisit the idea of going out to meet people


o Get used to it - guys are guys ... guys on the internet are guys behaving without frontal lobes
Reply:No it is not you.There are alot of sick people out there that will exploit a woman.You sound like you are very sincere about what you want.You'll find him someday.I wish you luck.

Internet dating?

Hands up boys n girls who use a dating site like Yahoo Personals. Do you pay up? Or do you ogle? And what do you think of the others who are advertising themselves?





I'll add my opinion if we reach 25 answers...

Internet dating?
I use it - i love Russian girls, they are difficult to find in UK.
Reply:There are a lot of hard-up people on internet dating sites (but, in all fairness, a lot of sincere people too). I wouldn't do it personally (I'm in a semi-serious relationship... not adverse to a casual date occasionally), but if you had the knowledge of psychology that I have (a degree, in other words) and understood Personality Theory and Psychopathology (Google that one), then picking people off (read: sexual encounters) on dating sites would be somewhat analogous to deer hunting with a sub-machine gun... in other words, a guaranteed hit.
Reply:I never use internate dating but i did meet my fiance on aol messenger over 2 years ago,i was a single mum and just wanting to chat,ive never been happier!
Reply:i havn't gone on there yet is it good
Reply:They work! Thats where my husband and I found each other! I had been pressured into putting myself on as I had been single for 18 months, I did, specifying an area within 40 miles of my home town, he emailed me from Spain, some 2000 miles away, and I had to reply as I couldnt be rude! The rest, as they say, is history
Reply:I put together a profile for various places, but cant say I have ever really been interested enough in anyone to pay up.
Reply:I had paid, but I met my wife randomly through Yahoo! chat. She is absolutely perfect as a life partner, and I NEVER would have met her without the 'Net since she lived 400 miles away.
Reply:I use internet dating %26amp; sometimes I pay to use the site, other times not. Depends on how many people I see on there while browsing online personals that strike my fancy or what benefit I think I'll derive from it.


Internet dating?

Who has done this before? Is it fun or just annoying? What are it's pros? What are it's cons? Would any boys out there be interested in a internet girlfriend?





Looking for, someone between 15-16. Someone not afriad to talk about how they feel or be themselves. Someone who can make me smile. [ even if they can't see my smile because it is over the computer. haha]

Internet dating?
internet boyfriend hmm.. I dont think this is too safe I mean over the internet any perv could pretend to be 15 or 16 and also you shouldnt give out your informations to strangers...its not very safe dear...I dont think it would be soo much fun i mean come on think about it...what are you trying to get out of it? u have to ask urself that question....if ur looking for fun passtime do something with your friends....
Reply:You can't tell when someone is really 15-16 on the internet, it's too dangerous at your age. Go to dances and have real, actual fun with kids your age out in the real life world, not behind this box.
Reply:Well the only issue with internet dating is they can always not be who they say they are. Also for being 15-16 its going to be hard to find a dating site for you.. I would just try maybe Yahoo Chat rooms or something if you are lookin for someone in your age group to talk to.. You'll probably be better off that way also!





I met my husband online but it was playing video games and neither of us were actually lookin for someone.. so sometimes it can just happen randomly! BUT best of luck to you sweetie!!
Reply:i had an internet bf i guess. i didnt no it at the time but he told sum1 my bf no that he n i internet dated. i dk i dont talk 2 him now. i havnt in a long time.


it was fun(at the time i really liked this boy)


pros: if u really like the person n u cant c them, u can still date them.


cons: u dk if their cheating on u or not. they could have a gf in life n u on the side.


^a boy i was doing sumtin els on the internet w did that 2 me. he had a gf and stil was doin this w me, and when his gf found out, she would send me threating messages n stuff, i laffed but yah so





hope i helped

Does anyone know a good free interenet dating service? Or does anyone have any advice on how I can find a date? I am a 28 yr old, divorced with three children and I am ready to get back into the swing of things.

Internet dating?
plentyoffish.com





Totally free! Good luck
Reply:Frankly, I think you'd do better in the real world. It seems a lot of men on those sites aren't truly looking for relationships. A lot are only looking for quickie flings that only last a month at most and some even only a one-night-stand if they think they can get it.
Reply:try any of those networking sites like hi5,friendster,fropper,etc
Reply:Lavalife.com is the one that I used

There are lots of free online dating services that you can choose from. Check them all out and see which one you like. Things like these are mainly based on personal opinion. Hope this helps =)


Internet dating?

okay so im with this guy andrew on the internet. and i rlly like him and we've broken up gotten back together a few times now.





and he has the most beautiful friends tht r girls. like i mean hott as in like i would f*** 'em. and idk i mean is it worth it? like getting hurt over the internet?

Internet dating?
If you guys are constantly breaking up and getting back together then maybe you should consider remaining friends. Internet dating is complicated. The only way to take this relationship to the next level is to meet in person and discuss where you two want the relationship to go. If you guys aren't going to meet then maybe you should look else where for a relationship....getting your feelings hurt over the internet is not worth all of the stress and anguish.
Reply:well if you really like him and you trust him then you should still be with him. but if you dont trust him and he cheats on you then honestly he wasnt worth it anyway.. you would deserve someone better than that.
Reply:Ok so who do you want to date your guy friend or the girls he hangs out with? To be honest if a girl told me she wanted to have sex with some of my girl 'friends' I hang out with it would totally freak me out, so this is something I would keep to myself.

shoelaces

Internet dating?

meeting guys on the internet anf talking for along time with them, wanting them and things, is that wrong? cause alot of people think its stupid to talk to people on the internet.

Internet dating?
No it's not stupid. I met my fiance 2 yrs ago in a chatroom and we talked for months before I FLEW to NYC to meet him lol. Needless to say, it worked out. I never did tell anyone because I know they'd think I was crazy. But it's not wrong to do. It's only normal to like someone you talk to so much.
Reply:You can talk to them all you want but that is as far as it should go.Unless you are totally out of your head or that desperate.
Reply:It's something that's relatively new and most people aren't used to it yet so they'll think it's stupid. I met a girl on the internet a while back and then within a few weeks we had met in person and as of right now we've gone on 6 or 7 dates. If you meet people on the internet it makes you talk with them more than if you were with them in person because there's all kinds of things to do in person but on the internet all you can do is talk. I met her in a chatroom I wasn't looking to meet a girl in there or anything it just sort of happened that we got along and then started talking more and we continued to get along and exchanged pictures and it just sort of progressed. When we talk online she and I normally end up talking somewhere between 4 and 6 hours if we've both got the time. It can work out just fine or it can have no basis in reality and be very unhealthy. It all depends on how each of you handles it.


Internet dating?

Okay, so I'm seeing alot of (especially younger people..12 and up) who consider other internet guys/girls as their boyfriends/girlfriends.





Can someone explain why internet boyfriends seem to be preferable to real ones?

Internet dating?
cause people can lye about who they are
Reply:Hot..
Reply:easier to chat with. u know ur chatting coz the person likes u.plus there is the option of multiple boyfriends/girlfriends
Reply:1) It's (relatively) safe. If you never meet a person for real, then it's harder for them to hurt you.


2) You can let yourself, er, visualize the person as you want them to be. Real life boyfriends have a habbit of crashing fantasy down.


3) A person also can allow themselves to be visualized differently. A shy person can seem confident. A restrained individual can be an extravert.


4) It's harder to meet people in real life. Online you can just start chatting without, er, social barriers of intimidation (eg) should I go up to him and start talking? Oh I can't do that, It'd be too embarassing if he shot me down. Online if you are rejected there isn't as much a stigmatism for just popping in and talking.


5) Greater availability of niches. Some people have very unique interests that bore or um weird out a lot of other people. The Internet lets you meet other people who share your interests easily.
Reply:It's simple. Fantasy is always better than realitly.
Reply:Conveinence.
Reply:cause no one really knows who each other is, you can give false info and fake pics. its gay
Reply:Because they only see what the other person wants them to see. And don't complain! At some level, it is very "safe sex."
Reply:idk,but its kinda better ..caz u fall for sum1 not caz of their looks but 4 them...
Reply:Because you can ignore and dump them easier
Reply:Well reality is hard to accpet by human nature... So just to ne hapythese days , people try the virtual way
Reply:because people cant get one in real life apparently and when they have someone to look forward to and to talk to , i guess they feel special or soemthing. internet dating is really bad though. people lie about their ages, and you could in fact be talking to a child molester. you never really know.
Reply:with Internet boyfriends yes there is a risk that he is fake but there is also that you can look and find a boyfriend from any place in the world so you have a much bigger selection of finding the guy that is truly for you.
Reply:coz they are not always around to give yah a head ache
Reply:how do you internet date?? can you tell me the site???
Reply:Because it`s "safe", you don`t have to reveal more about yourself than you feel like, you can pretend to be better looking than you are, it`s a fantasy-relationship based on projections.
Reply:The internet allows people to take on identities that aren't theirs. Everybody knows wat words to say to make a person fall for them...so, they get on here and snag up lil' dum girls 'n boys...i think it's more of a time-consuming thing...it gives kids something to look forward to or something to do...
Reply:don't know what the prob is.
Reply:cayse they r not commited rather they can be hackers waitin to pounce on ur hard earned money.
Reply:Real ones are much harder to come by
Reply:lol. It is easier than having a real boyfriend. Less stresses and hassles. You have this nice young boy online who tells u nice things, you can chat for ages without getting bored and ultimately u live in a fairytale world where all is great. What young kid wouldnt be happy with that? I am not in my teens, but I know thats what happens.
Reply:Lets see, they think internet dating is safer Cus there is less fear of rejection and not being good enough for the other person in real. On the internet it seems you can be anyone and look like anything and people will except you, In real life you are told to look and act a certain way. Thats why people find internet dating better.


Internet dating?

As anyone met and dated people from singles dating sites and what were the outcome?????

Internet dating?
So far... I've been VERY successful.





First, my good friend in Georgia meets his now wife and mother of his children online. I have met my dream man online... and actually know of other people that have gotten married and are happy from singles sites online. Just found out that my good friend online is finally getting to meet her online romance "in the flesh" soon. I'm so excited for her!!





Hey, you never know. Just gotta test the waters, ya know?
Reply:Lmao Yes, a very amazing marriage
Reply:I'VE TRIED INTERNET DATING AND FIND THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE MISREPRESENTING THEMSELVES. THE MEN SEEM MORE INTERESTED IN SEX THAN ACTUALLY GETTING TO KNOW YOU. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE CHRISTIAN WEB SITE WAS NO DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER. THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO DO NOT USE THEIR OWN PHOTOS BUT INSTEAD USE OTHERS.
Reply:yes %26amp; no.


I once met a guy online and he raped me... so not a good idea @ the time.

Internet dating?

Has anyone ever dated someone they met on the internet? What precautions did you take?

Internet dating?
I have dated people from the Internet and consider it the same as if I met someone in a club, bar, or bookstore. As with meeting anyone for the first time you should take the precaution of meeting them for a short period of time in a very public place like a bookstore or coffee shop. Also, you should have a good friend know where you will be and if you want to be extra careful, call your friend periodically (make an excuse to go to the bathroom or say you are checking on a sick relative) to let them know you are okay and your location.





It is like dating people in any other situation, you may meet some really great people or you may meet some crazies and sickos. Just be aware of the situation at all times and get to know the person well on the Internet before deciding to meet in person.
Reply:still in the first phase. will tell you once I get a chance to do so
Reply:i did, and i met him in a public place with a couple of friends around. I thought that felt safe.
Reply:All I can say is this fella I know found a girl from Holland and paid for a ticket to the U.S. and...





...This girl was gorgeous beyond comprehension. I was so green with envy, I mean, smart, beautiful...I didn't stay in touch but if he was smart he married her quickly so he could tap that thing on a daily basis.





The only precaution I take in dealing with you wonderful girls is admit from the start that I'm fat, that way if I actually got to the point of meeting you, I wouldn't see a car tearing out of the parking lot because I lied about myself. So I'm a handsome devil with a pot belly...(to quote "Fat Bastard" from the Austin Powers movie, "I'm a sexy man!")
Reply:No I just don't feel it's safe. Be very careful and if you do decide to meet; meet in a public place in the daytime.
Reply:I've dated a couple of men I met on intenet dating sites. They were both perfectly normal.
Reply:First, never meet someone for the first or second time without meeting them in a public place and without a friend.





Second, never give out your phone number, personal email or any other personal information until you have met in person at least twice.





Third, (for women) make the guy put up or shut up. That means he should be willing to answer any all questions, provide you with the means to investigate who he is and whether or not he is legitimate.





Fourth, never under any circumstances bring him home unless you are confident you would feel safe putting around children (doesn't matter if you have any or not, does he seem like someone you would trust with little children).





Bottom, meeting someone online is possible, but you need to be careful.
Reply:NO NEVER WILL TO SCAREY
Reply:i haven't, but i wouldn't mind dating that fine *** of yours
Reply:Yes. DONT DO IT! There are a few nice men out there, but most of them are weidos and krazy. I say if you have great confidence you can find a real special someone in the general public.
Reply:I dated two guys from the internet. They were nice so I trusted them, and everything turned out great
Reply:I did. When you feel comfortable with them, then I think it's ok. Have short dates in public places. Of course, when you meet up with them, you must still be alert. Just observe the little body language and decide.


The most important thing is to protect yourself when you sense something is wrong.

Internet Dating?

Is it really realistic to find your true love on the internet? Does anyone have any success stories? Any horror stories? Of those of you who have dated, wasn't it scary to meet for the first time?

Internet Dating?
~~i have seen both success and failure... my sis met and married her second husband on the internet and he's a dream, he's wonderful, where as my brother met and married someone he met on the internet and she was also a dream... a total night mare~~





~~if you are thinking of doing this be very careful~~
Reply:Please never find love online. That usually just means that your too timid to talk to people in real life face to face. Though it isn't impossible it is really wierd. You could end up going out with a lot of weird people. Watch Dateline NBC and see all the online predator programs, really scary.
Reply:yeah u can find out true love on internet also but u r supposed





to identify the person by his/her attitude and the way of talking





and the way of responding so it's nt a big deal. u can easily find





out true love bec in this world ther r 2 types of people 1 good





people and 2 bad people but it dsnt mean tht we should stop





relying on other's so try to find out those thing's which r





mentioned above and i am sure tht u will defenately find out





true love. tht's wht i think.

I don't know I think it's lame

It was a great way to break the ice %26amp; get more comfortable. Come time to meet him...It felt like we were already good friends and there was no akward silence stage.





no horror story here!
Reply:When I was 17 I met a 15 year old on the Internet, things didn't go well.





But really, to answer your question, it is possible...don't listen to all the hype the news gives you. It is just as safe and effective as any other type of dating...it's just a new source for finding people.
Reply:u met people in person tantadan
Reply:was absolutely terrifying but i met a few guys online because i didnt really have time to go meet someone the traditonal way. always meet in a public place and i always took a friend and my own vehicle. i met my current b/f online and after 2 yrs. together i love him even more. were moving in in a few months and its great. i met quite a few really nice guys just never clicked with any until him but the others were nice. the only jerk i dated was the one i didnt meet online and he shouldve come with a warning label.


Internet dating??

has anyone of you ever dated a guy/girl from the internet and actually met with each other and now you're in love with her/him???

Internet dating??
I met my current partner who i am now engaged to on line. My previous boyfriend i also met on line - they both lived nearby so had to be honest as i could easily check them out. I find that lots of the guys you meet that are unattached are lonely but there are also plenty of married men looking for a bit on the side. I found guys that had similar interests to me and met them in a public place for a drink - sometimes a meal - sometimes we connected, sometimes we didnt in person. Talked to one guy for hours on end - he rang me and ran up a $400 phone bill that month but when we met the chemistry wasnt there.





Well meaning friends introduced me to guys who turned out to be more disturbed and dangerous then anyone i met on line. Going out to the pub and socialising with strangers whilst drinking alcohol can be a dangerous environment in itself but with the internet you are in control of the situation as to whether you want to meet them and take things to the next level.





I am in my late forties and found after my marriage ended that if i dated local guys and friends of friends that things were said that were often untrue and had the potential to ruin my reputation. I tended to see guys that lived about an hour away and in the country that was about 100 kilometres so we never had any preconceived ideas about each other but i found that there was always someone local that had met them or knew of them if I wanted to check them out if I was unsure or apprehensive.





You can met the right person anywhere and when you least expect it - in the supermarket, through friends or work. or sport. One of my friends married the ambulance guy that picked her up off the road when she had a car accident. You can even meet Mr. Right on the internet.

Reply:I have never done that before, but I don't knock anyone who has. I do not advocate developing a relationship online though. Meeting is one thing, but bonding MUST take place in person.
Reply:Yes! Ive met my soulmate online! And I have met my closest friend in the world online too!





Internet relationships rock because you usually know if its your personality or the body he loves








Edit: By the way, yes I have met them both in person
Reply:I started speaking to someone in a chatroom a few years ago, we met in person a few months later and then were in a relationship and living together for 2 years! Don't see anything wrong with it, just be safe - meet in public place, take a friend if you can or at least let people know where you are.
Reply:No I haven't dated online but I have played a game which was rather naughty.


Internet dating?

If u met a guy on the internet and talked for a month and then met him and had 3 great dates...then he stands u up for a supposed Friend / Coworker..that is a female..would u ever see him again?

Internet dating?
He sounds like a player , yes you will see him again when your supposed friend / coworker figures out he is a jerk and he will be back because he thinks your stupid , you should be happy you found out early on that this guy is so low he would blow you off for someone else , it hurts a lot more after you've been with him a while....
Reply:Why would you mett him in the first place? He could have been a serial rapist. Do not trust people on the internet... except for me.. Im ok
Reply:nope. you got dumped. surprised he didn't do it in myspace though.
Reply:nope, you just got dumped by him. so forget him and try to move on!





-ConfusedGirlForever *(Diane N)*
Reply:Nope. It was only 3 dates, I would just say forget you and date someone else.





Ugh I also get annoyed when those girls go OMG DONT TRUST SOMEONE ON THE INTERENT THEY ARE ALL BAD, like ok no. Everyone I know uses the internet, so pretty much that would mean any man that talks to woman on the internet is a rapist, well there goes dating anyone. Just don't be meeting men that start off talking to you perverted or are unemployed, or live a thousand miles away. If its a local guy from your city I wouldn't worry about talking to him.
Reply:If you have a good time with this guy...then he stands you up for any reason without contacting you to tell you he can't make it then that is a total lack of respect on his part. I would want someone who respects me.


Besides, you have only dated a few times...it is not like you are getting married or have been dating for years or anything.


If this bothers you so much, then don't see him again. If you can live with it, then date him some more and see where it goes. If it continues, then make your decision what to do...see him or not. But again, if you can't handle it now, then just tell him so!
Reply:Move on and forget about him.
Reply:No way girl!! To see this guy again would be like having the word "doormat" tattooed on your forehead! Move on!
Reply:I need more details to really answer this...


It could be totally innocent, but then again.. could be his gf or even wife...
Reply:That you actually carried on a relationship for months and then met with this person indicates that you are willing to put yourself at great risk, physically and emotionally.





Move on, and be glad he wasn't some psycho killer.
Reply:Sounds like you were internet dumped.


Internet dating?

Okay I meet this guy on one of those internet sights he seems really nice he told me he is a lawyer .... okay


But everytime he wants to invite me to go somewhere and this will be the first date he wants to go out at night ....


I have already told him I feel more comfortable that on the first date it be day time in a public area .... Well after I told him the first date would be a day time I think he got kind of mad because of the fact that I dont want to meet him at night...


What do you guys think ?

Internet dating?
You are doing the right thing. As unlimited as the internet is, you really never know who is who. Stay on your toes. And by him being someone in the position to know how dangerous the web is, he should fully respect your wishes.


If not watch out.

None of the guys i have dealt with on an ongoing basis had a problem with meeting me in public during the day the ones that did I stopped talking to as soon as I realized they had a problem with this.

I'm on internet dating sites some out of country what kind of info should i withhold

Internet dating?
Dont tell where you work, your address, anything where ppl you dont know could contact you in real life without your blessing - keep that off. Oh and men who give their salary information look like they want to be a sugar daddy.
Reply:anything personal...such as email, phone, address. or in another words: the basic information
Reply:Firstly, I think Internet Dating is complete nonsense. How can you hook up with someone on the Internet that you don't know? I mean, the beautiful young girl you think that you're dating might be an ugly, grouchy 50year old man, just waiting for his chance to harm you!!!





Anyway, back to your question. You can't withhold your real age, can you? Well if you can, then do. And don't tell anyone your previous schools, don't tell anyone your address or phone number, and don't mention any of your friends or family.





Good luck, hope I helped!

What do you think of internet dating? Can you meet quality people this way? What sigths are the best to join?

Internet dating?
I met my husband on "meet me" on the hot or not website.It has work out great.We have been married for almost 2 years and have a 5 month old daughter and have a great marriage.Plus,you only pay $6 a month,most other websites cost at least $30 a month
Reply:Well, to be honest I've done the internet dating thing on and off and most of the guys I've met have been disasters. The majority were nothing like their profile and their pics were always old or of other people.


Personally I have tried match.com, I have heard from other friends that eharmony is pretty reliable for people who are looking for serious relationships.


Good Luck!
Reply:Don't do it. It's fun for awhile, but most guys just want sex. You should meet somebody at church or at your local bookstore or coffeeshop. Then you will have a story to tell your grandchildren, instead of "he saw my profile." I have dated guys on the internet for over a year, and only one real winner. The rest were losers or psychos, and I got tired of the weeding out process. Plus you could just out with the girls, with the money you spend on the dating sites.
Reply:i will be perfectly honest with you.. internet dating is a good way to meet people. but please never sign up for any company that gurantees you a date,they are all scams, they just want your credit card number.. just meet people in chat or a private chat..you can learn more this way..good luck,,by the way i have always had a nice amount of dating this way. but not date sites you pay for..

Internet dating?

What is your opinion of or experience with internet dating? was it good? Bad? Wierd?

Internet dating?
Just because you meet someone out in public doesn't mean they are any safer than someone you meet online. Anyone can lie and hide things. You have to use wise judgment, watch for red flags and in both cases.





Now if you do meet someone online and they only want to communicate online without any actual phone conversation, then I would walk away from that.





Take the time to talk to the person on the phone and get sense of who they are.





I've had good luck with it, of course I had a few bad dates but that's not exclusive to online dating.
Reply:Well I met my boyfriend on the internet and I found it was a great experience. However, you still have to be careful as there are some perverts out there on the net.
Reply:I am currently in the best relationship ever, after a divorce. I met him online at yahoo personals, and actually moved to the east coast from the west. We have lived together 2 years and both of us could not be happier. I must admit that I met a lot of guys that were not right. Use you're good judgement-go places where you can meet people that have the same interests...and be aware that love can be found at any moment, in the starngest places. Don't fret-your life is not over after divorce. Learn from your experiences. Best wishes to you.......
Reply:Worked out for me. I met my boyfriend online and ended up going out on a date. We had a blast, but I couldn't quite believe that the guy I went out with first (versus meeting a couple of guys that I had been talking to as well). So I kept going on dates with a couple of other men (to "keep my options open"), but always found myself comparing them to the first date. Eventually I just dropped all the other guys and have been with the "first" guy for a couple of months. So far it has been great!
Reply:good, it worked out for a while we relocated sortaish and it was nice while it lasted, then she went and got knocked up by some random guy and it wasnt so nice anymore, but hey I didnt do it, she did so I left.
Reply:I dont think it is a good idea because you can never no if they are lying to you. Plus people tend to act out of character on the internet. But really for safety reason i dont agree with internet dating.
Reply:I never had any luck at it.
Reply:Umm,well its challenging because they live in a other state/etc. It feels good but when you can see your loved one its bad.But when I have freedom to go where ever it won't matter what you do but its really easy to manage dating someone close so you can see that person alot of times in your lifetime or mine too.
Reply:It was really bad because they lie alot and don't be honest

Why do girls post fake photos of themselves on internet dating sites? What is wrong with being honest with yourself and others when trying to meet new people?

Internet dating?
First of all, men do this too ... all the time ... there was one here a little while ago showing off his 'goods' rather high on himself, with a fake pic, so don't be trying to make this a female thing, lol.





Some people aren't comfortable with their own looks and feel safe hiding behind fake pictures ..... boosting their own self esteem. It's harmless really, only a sign that they aren't very confident about themselves.





Then again, there are also the ones who are showing their actual pictures and get accused of posting fake pics anyway.
Reply:beats me.

Reply:i don't know maybe some girlz are flirty
Reply:Probably because they are afraid of the people on the sites. Not many people trust internet dating. They probably think the men's pictures are fake. Or it could be that they think if they put their real picture up they won't find anyone who likes the way they look.
Reply:Because they want men to think that they are who they are not. I always put up real photos of myself. I rater you like me for who am rather than make myself claim to be something i'm not.
Reply:Because they feel insecure. Like no one would be interested in who they really are. They think that if they draw someone in on false pretenses, they can fix it later on down the road. ("Oh, by the way, I don't really look like Pamela Anderson", etc.")

Internet dating?

I meet the woman that is now my wife on the internet. i just want to know has anyone ever had this much luck dating on the net?

Internet dating?
I also married a woman whom I met on the internet. And she is also from another country. What about your case?


I think, Internet is a very good way to find new contacts: in work, business, friendships and also that special ONE. Much better than local night clubs, discos, pubs etc....


In my country, people think the internet dating and romances are for some kind of loosers, about the same as many marriage agencies in Asia and East-Europe are. That way the agency earns its fee, when by paying the unsocial men have their way to find their wives who live in desperate life situation: forced, or in living extreme poverty and that's why marrying the standard of living instead of the husband. That happens too.





I think generally, and in my case also it was that the internet works only for finding a contact. In my case, it started as friendship but we both were single. Yep. Money doesn't matter, but we both had our education and honest jobs and lives in control.





If you plan to go further in internet dating, you need to learn to know each other in real life, and how the relationship works in real life is the only that matters. And to be sure about that, it takes at least many months to see if it's honest and serious enough to continue or go further. Same as in all relationships.


If somebody plans to deal with people from other countries, he/she should be prepared for that time and costs for travelling. But it's nice too.


In my case that took lots of time, travelling, skyhigh telephone costs etc. But it sure was worth it. I think that way even it's now 4 years after I married her, 6 years after I first met her in person. We both have 2 home countries, soon doulbe citizenships too, our children are bilingual that I think is a valuable skill.


Internet dating??

Well I tried something new this week... Internet dating. I am not sure what to do. This woman I met last week seemed to intrigue me. She wants to meet me but wants to do a background check on me and is requiring that I give her one of my credit card numbers "just to make sure that you are legit about meeting me".





Is this normal practice? I mean seriously, why would a girl who is a hieress to a lot money need my money? I haven't sent it to her yet, but I really wanna meet her... I think she is the one...

Internet dating??
now Billy...you know I told you why I needed your card number....I do believe you to be the one also...but a girl has to protect herself now doesn't she? Big Daddy won't let me touch that money til I am married....so come on big boy, lets give it a whirl.....
Reply:And then is people like you that complain to credit card companies “I got my identity stolen! It wasn’t me the one who put that $3,000.00 charge in my credit card!”





First, Internet dating is ok, I did it and now I am happy married with my wife I met online.





Second, it would be ok to run a background check, but it would be more common sense to just go out both you and her with friends all together the first time you meet. That way nobody is afraid that you are about to meet a psycho.





Third, if she wants your credit card, is not to make sure that you are legit about meeting her, but to rip you off. If she wants to run a background check, the last thing she would ask is for a credit card. Oh wait, did she ask you for your social security too? Did you give it to her? If you did, you are sooooo f…. is not funny.





Maybe internet dating is not for you.
Reply:A backround check?? With a credit card number? Your being taken for a ride!! DON'T GIVE IT TO HER!!
Reply:Dude ...... background checks on stuff that is really important is public record through law enforcement.





your being duped .... some pretty girl's image is being used.





if you want to save yourself time and hassle stop chasing her now and do not give her your credit card.





background checks are normal.... my wife and i met online and she did one on me - so no biggie, but at the same time no need to ever give a girl your credit card number
Reply:LOL - you're too funny. I don't believe a word of that mess you wrote!! "a girl who is a hieress to a lot money" like someone of that sort is posting on a dating site!!
Reply:that is her job fro her to pay for background check...Not yours...If that is what she wants that recommende it anyway she hasa to pay for...Not you becarefull too...Online dating not good trust me...I am an expert on that so thats all I say...
Reply:Oh...you gave her credit card numbers??? Kiss your money bye! Hello Big bills!


Shes a hogwash (scam artist) about the credit card...Man... find some other way to meet some one. I wouldn't even depend on that Internet dating...


Better call your credit card company!


Good luck!
Reply:There are some good women,but they do not ask for your card number.If you send it to her,then you are foolish.
Reply:Dont do it. SCAM. You would have to be retarted to give her that information.

internet dating is ok if u both agree upon it but me personally i would rather have a real relationship someone who i can be close too and spend real time with..depends on the person i guess.. if it starts out on the net its all good and ends up meeting then i would say that exceptable.. but if u never meet then its only a lie too begin with

It's not "real" dating, but the guy will most likely think he has found something special and pour his heart out to you. Be careful.

Is internet dating wrong? Cuz my friend knows this guy who lives like 5 states awayand she thinks shes "in love" do you think you could love someone without ever meeting them?

Internet dating?
I dont think you can truly fall in love with some one you have never met. There is absolutely something to be said about physical connection.


Internet dating is great though, play it safe. Meet in public places and dont wait to long to actually meet. Talk a couple of times then go out on a real date.
Reply:Nope.
Reply:well of course, becus real love is when u love the person for the way they are and not for the way they look. i think if she likes how he is and the way he talks to her then she likes him for the way he is inside not outside. i have the same problem but she lives in australia and i live in california, ive just met her like a month ago but we have so much in common and we get along great. im not sure im in love with her yet becus we just met but im def. falling for her and the way she is and the way she carries her self she is a great person.

Reply:Nooooo do not i repeat do not under any cirucstances meet this guy alone, for all you know he could be a 70 year old maniacal cannibal suicidal freak at the least.





Trust me most "16 year old hawties" are freaks and not the good kind like bearded ladies and super dwarfs





If you want to meet him, take some friends along and an adult





Want some good advice?


Date people you know in real life, atleast then you know who you're dealing with.
Reply:I tried internet dating myself and I was in the same boat. I decided to meet him. I made sure we were in public, I had my cell phone, and I told many people where I would be. That was 4 months ago and I couldnt be happier. I think internet dating is a scary thought, but being safe is the key. We are so happy and I am happy that I took a giant safe leap.
Reply:internet datings weird, just talk to a guy at ur school
Reply:12 hours away is simply too far. He is a geographical undesireable. You should narrow your search and look for someone more local so you can have a regular relationship.

Internet Dating?

Has anyone ever tried internet dating just to see if i makes your ex mad. I did and he called last night and told me that his friend winked at me. I know it wasn't his friend because it was his nickname. Did i do the right thing to make him jealous?

Internet Dating?
Sara; My advice (though I know it is too late now to tell you this) is not to even try it if the only reason you are doing it is to make you EX jealous, because it may backfire on you. If you do make him mad, what have you achieved except cause more hurt feelings where there is probably already enough anger. If you don't make him, then it will drive you crazy wondering what his real feelings on the matter is (obviously this has happened).


Please take this note from a recent divorced gentleman, trying to make someone jealous, especially after the fact, is just adding fuel to an already nasty fire. No one walks out feeling good in such a situation.
Reply:No, because he will pay you back. Why you made him jealous? Are you happy now? I don't think...
Reply:Don't waste your time worrying about what your ex thinks. Get on with your own life and enjoy some time alone enjoying some freedom. And if you need to find a better man, since this last one wasn't good enough...
Reply:I met my husband online. But we weren't looking when it happened.





I've always thought that signing up for internet dating is a sign of desperation. Desperation is a bad thing.
Reply:I don't understand why you would do it anyway? I mean why make your ex mad/jealous? Really why would he even care?
Reply:If your ex winked at you that means he is doing internet dating too. So go ahead and find somebody else. Sure it will probably make him jealous. It will make him furious if you move on and find somebody better.
Reply:How does it affect you if your ex gets mad. The key word here is 'Ex'. So, move on
Reply:Internet dating is laughable way of making someone jealous.





I can't say if it's right or no, the answer has to come from within you.





But common sense tells me that if you want to make him jealous, you should definitely try other methods.
Reply:well if you are trying to make him mad then maybe you still have feelings for him and if thats the case you should get back together

Internet Dating.?
When I was 16 I meet a 19 year old guy in a yahoo chat room. He had a girlfriend at the time so we where just friends. (He told me right away he had a girlfriend so he was not trying to find someone else). He was my best online friend. We talked daily about everything. Mostly we talked about what we though made a relationship good. We sheared a LOT of the same views. Him and his girlfriend where having problems (they had an on again off again relationship). They broke up 6 months after I meet him. So I decided that I wanted to meet him in person. So I meet him at a ship and shore fest at the beach. We both brought a friend with us. We all spent the whole day at the beach. We went swimming had a water gun fight and just hung out. That night we watched the firework show. Thats when he kissed me, it was my first kiss (I know 16 and never been kissed .... lol)





He ended up going back home and we stilled talked. I was not ready to tell my mom about him (I was 16 she would of never let me date a 19 year old guy off the internet). So I ended up finding a boyfriend my age back home and eventually he went through 2 more girlfriends (he was looking for a commented relationship the girls just wanted to date). Finally about a year and a half after we meet he told me that he really liked me and that he really wanted us to date. But that he didn't want to hide it from my mom. So I could either tell her about us, or we would have to part ways. So I gave him my phone number and told him to call me. When he called I was going to ask my mom if he could come see me. I could not do it, so he got on the phone with my mom and talked to her for about an hour and asked her if we could meet. It was the sweetest thing a guys ever done for me. When I went up to see him he asked me if I would be his girlfriend (it was so middle school but so cute). I of course said yes, and we started dating. Now we lived 2 hours away and I didn't have a car. My mom would take me to his house and he would sometimes come see me. We saw each other about ever other weekend. We dated for about a year and a half and then broke up. Two months later we got back togeather after realising that the reason for our breakup was stupid and we missed eachother.





In 2004 he joined the Air Force and it scared the heck out of me. We made it for almost 3 years 2 hours away from each other. I did not want to be without him. The plan was, I was going to move to Mississippi where he had Tech School at and we would live off base. Why he was in tech school I wrote him a letter every day. After that he realized how much I cared about him and he knew how much he cared about me. And he said he has been thinking about marriage for a few months but wanted to wait until I was 21 but decided that he was going to do it when he came home from boot camp.





He asked me to marry him on Christmas Eve of 2004. We where married on December 30th, 2004. We moved to Mississippi together and now we live in Japan. Last year we went back home and had a big wedding. It was so much fun. We are now getting ready to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. We have a great marriage, we are so happy. He is really the best thing thats ever happened to me.





I do think that the internet now is a little different then what it was back then. I was very smart about internet dating. When I got messages from older guys talking about how hot I was and asking privet questions I would put them on ignore. So as long as you pick out the losers and ignore them you can find good guys.





The best thing about meeting my husband Austin on the internet was that we really got to know each other. We use to talk on the phone and internet for hours. We really knew who the other person was. That was really the best part of it all.





Also, if all the guy talks about is sex. Chances are thats all he wants. Find someone who wants to really get to know who you are as a person.





(OMG, regardless of that the guy above me said, DO NOT USE "ADULT" SITES to find a boyfriend. Good people do not go to sites like that to make an add. There is a reason he is dating a girl across the world. She is prob some wh0re and all he wants is sex. Go to http://www.eharmony.com/ or something like that. Or just go into Chat rooms.
Reply:yes you can meet someone nice and genuine --- i did





it is worthwhile if you are committed to them.





the biggest con is distance she is half a world away and its a tad difficult getting everything together





pros are i would never have met her without the internet





depends on your age --- i found the so called adult sites to be the most interesting in general in terms of the personalities you meet and the conversations that we had --- ignore the hype that they are "sex" sites --- the most childish behaviour comes from those that believe the advertising --- the truth is most people are looking for someone long term ---- best wishes
Reply:I prefer the smaller dating sites and the niche sites. I recommend trying

Reply:I don't think its nice. I could not well keep in touch with almost all of the girls I have met via net.
Reply:Just remember the person on the other end is writing just what they think you want to hear. So, No it is not a good idea.
Reply:I met my husband online.





We started by talking via emails and instant messangers then moved to phone conversations. We talked A LOT about everything (literally). It was a little over 2 months before we met face to face and when we did it was at a well populated even that was well lit. We arrived in separate cars and left the same way. I made sure a good friend knew where I was and what I was doing. I even arranged for her to phone me at a specific time and would give her a code phrase/word if I was not okay and another one if I was.





I did it this way because I have never been into the bar scene and didnt really have time to go to other places where I would meet men.





Yes there are weird ones and even dangerous ones out there. I have met those as well... one even started exhibiting stalking tendancies. Trust your gut and keep yourself safe.
Reply:yes you can meet some nice people on the net, but as for classing it as internet dating I do not know if you could class it as that, I would class it as a a epal situation, unless you are communicating with somebody in your immediate area, then I guess the best thing would be to meet in person after you have found somebody in your area, but you want to try an epal if you haven't, as some have said there are a heap pf weirdo's out there, it will take you time to get to know and trust that person, some stay for a few emails some stay for hundreds some there is no sign of stopping communications, but you will only get out of any relationship the amount you are willing to put into it, do not rely on the other person, try to believe them, but in time you will find out if they are lieing, but after all it is only words, you can certainly get hurt in many ways, try it


good luck
Reply:nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...





(sigh)





Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Reply:Stay away from it. There are a lot of weirdos out there.
Reply:Yes, you can. You can meet someone off the streets and not have genuine or nice, even someone that your friend or family member hooked you up with.


I think it is worth it because love is every where, even the Internet.


Cons: fake pictures, name and age But this can happen meeting someone on the street.


Pros: your future husband, best friend, that 50/50 man and well in knowledge, But this is vice verse for the streets also.


-Yahoo personals


-eHarmony dating service


-Meetup.com


-Rich guy dating service.
Reply:Yes you can meet nice people. I have tried some dating sights, some of them have a lot of people pushing porn and such. It is how ever some thing that is just as prevalent in our society as lonelyness. Beware of lonely heart scams (people asking for money). I have tried match.com singlesnet.com and divorcepeoplemeet.com . Still thinking about yahoo personals though....... with the luck I have had I would be just giving them money.
