What Do We All Think Of Internet Dating?

i have had a few dates over the internet, some good some not so good and some that have turned into fantastic friends, but what is the general feeling of internet dating? is it dangerous? is it accepted in this day and age?...hmmm lots of questions you could throw at this one!

What Do We All Think Of Internet Dating?
too many players
Reply:Personally I think it is sad!! But that is just me!! If people want to find someone using the internet fair enough - thats their choice, but personally I wouldn't!! Ever!!
Reply:Well, i went on a few internet dates and met a whole range of people, from absolute psychos to men that were just too nice! 6 months ago i went on an internet date with a lad and im still with him now!





I think in all elements of dating there is always a bit of danger, its just personal choice as to which you prefer.
Reply:i found a fantastic partner thru the net over 2 years ago and we are still very happy together





you have to be just as careful to start with as any other means of getting to know people and follow all the safety rules





we are both over 50 - only just in my case - and found the net a useful tool
Reply:I'm quite curious about it....
Reply:Personally I have found them to be quite good, so long as your careful - met my man on-line and its been over 8 months now and we're just moving relationship to next level.
Reply:What is the difference between internet dating and other dating, really? Ultimately the only difference is that when you walk into the restaurant or bar to meet the person in person, you already know something about them... if they didn't lie. Not being on the internet is not going to stop some people from lying anyways. It really does not matter where you meet. It matters what kind of people you are and whether or not you have compatible interests, values, and chemistry. Like with any dating, you have to watch out for the wierdos, but being on the internet or not being on the internet does not change that.





Generally, I don't recommend it, but it can definitely work. I am proof. I met my wife online, and we've been married for seven years. We're very happy. The key was that we did not meet at a dating service or anything like that. We were not desperate. I was in a chat room. She was in a chat room. We chatted. I wasn't looking for a date. She wasn't looking for a date. There were no expectations. Heck, the first day she didn't even know I was a guy. We were just chatting. It didn't come up. As a result, we were able to be totally honest with each other, and it turned out we had similar values and interests. Then we got together and hit it off.





That said, if you are desperate, you are likely wasting your time. Desperate people find desperate people, especially online. A better way to meet someone special is to get involved in activities in which you are interested. It is like skipping a step. You already know what kind of person you will meet, and you already know they will be interested in what you are. You just need to find out if they are a decent person or not. There is less sorting. Then the only hard part is finding one that is available and getting them before someone else does!
Reply:i done it wen i was 14 and i stayed with him for 8months then he dumped me for my best friend :( so i hate internet dating now lol plus i have my partner anyway im 20 now so all grown up and wiser ...kind of lol
Reply:I have been on Match.com for over a month and, despite sending numerous emails I have not had a single response...I'm not that ugly!
Reply:I think it can be a useful way to meet people, but the thing is, we all present a certain persona online which may not be the way we actually are - as long as you remember that the person you chat to online may not be exactly as they say, and be honest enough to admit that perhaps you aren't either!
Reply:I think having Internet friends would be more interesting than Internet dating. Why date over the Internet, I always say, unless there is something wrong that I can't get a girl I meet somewhere?
Reply:very acceptible form of meeting and chatting with people...but many people lie and so you have to be very cautious....
Reply:becareful
Reply:I think that internet dating is just like normal dating, you get some good ones, some bad ones and some dodgy ones.


I can say from personal experience that internet dating can have some very good endings. I met my fiancee online 5 years ago on lycos and now he's my husband to be so it's not all bad!
Reply:i find dates at the work. it is a strip club so no need internet.
Reply:It can be dangerous! There are are a lot of perverts out there!
Reply:i think that Internet dating is really risky business. We don't know what kind of people are on the Internet. We should just stick to old fashioned dating where you see someone you like and get to know them and then start a relationship.
Reply:i used to get dates over internet. they all were pathetic losers. now i dot believe in it at all. i dont think it is dangerous, i think it is useless - no normal person would prefer internet dating to real one. also it alarms me very much when someone tells "looks re not important". it means this person is also looking pathetic and ugly
Reply:Well, just like in life, there are some real creeps out there, and you have to be very careful. Just because you meet someone in a park, or at a bar, or at the library doesn't mean every word he says to you isn't a total lie to get you into some compromising position and take advantage of you...online is just another avenue to meet people.





I personally love it because I met my fiance through eHarmony and I would never have met him any other way-we were a year apart in the same high school and lived within 2 miles of each other for like 20 years and never met! It took eHarmony to introduce us, and for that reason, I'd never say anything bad about eHarmony...I also used Match.com at one time, but never got anywhere with them...too many men looking for 1 thing only-no thanks.
Reply:it is definitely accepted world wide now.. i enjoy it very much, because you can feel the mystery of it all, and you can use your imagination for everything.
Reply:As long as you put safety first. My sister found her partner on loopy love and they're still together with their own house, planning to get married.
Reply:Online dating is very popular, so it must work for a lot of people. Here is a place that reviews lots of dating websites. Many of the online dating services listed have consumer reviews, so you can read what others think of it. Pretty cool site.

Reply:I like it because I don't have to go to bars. I'm not into the bar scene. It lets you get to know someone before you actually agree to meet them. It could be dangerous if the person was not careful about what they are doing. But, if you don't have the good sense not to give out your personal information to everyone who contacts you (whether it be internet dating or anything else out here), I don't believe you should be on the internet period! I think it is a lot more accepted than it was about 10 years ago when my one friends started doing it. I freaked out on her all the time for doing it. Now here I am doing it. My old fashioned parents even are accepting it because they know that I do have good sense about it. I always meet the first time in very public places, never give my phone, last name, address to anyone until I really get to know them and if I don't feel 100% comfortable about a meeting, I cancel. It's also made me alot more of a people person. I was very shy about dating etc before this. It was harder for me to talk to people. But it's gotten me out in the world and meeting new people. Before this, I was in 2 long relationships and never had the dating experiences. Like you, I have made some wonderful friends, been out with some fun people and met some total idiots. To me, it's the same as the dating world, minus the bars and I can also screen people who have the same interests and values as me.
Reply:I did alot of internet dating through yahoo a few back. Now i would never do it again to save my life.





Reason for this is cause out of nowhere some gilr 1000 miles away msgs me and we got closer. She was calling me daily. She sent many pics and she really cared about me. Well after 1 year she sent me a plane ticket to come see her. I figured this was meant to be so i went. When i get off the plane i see the real person ive been talking too. She was nothing like the pictures infasct she used random pictures of other people to make me think it was her. She was hideous whale and not they skinny blonde i was supposed to meet.





For that i cannot stand internet dating. Try doing a "real" dating service online. Those filter out the posers and make it easier.





In my opinion don't do it. Go to places with people around, get friends to introduce you to others.
Reply:On-line dating is the best. I would rather meet a girl on-line, than at a bar. Where you meet someone is usually the place where they hang out at. At least on-line, you can talk to get to know about people. You can meet in a public place and see if there is a connection. I know 5 couple who is married today from on-line dating. I am getting engaged in two days to an on-line date. This is the wave of the future.





Good luck
Reply:There could be a danger because your really not meeting the person in real life. so you really dont know how they react around other people. pluse you never know if there a stalker or something like that. yea id say on line dateting is pretty safe what do you think?
Reply:It sucks! No one is honest, many of them are married! There has got to be a better way!
Reply:Well, after putting down the drink and drugs, we all need something to occupy our time, don't we? Yeah, you didn't think that I knew, did ya? Rev. Rene knows , trust me he knows. Anyway, that's how I and my Indian princess got together! O YEAH, IT ALL DEPENDS, BUT DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH, NOW THAT I'M OUT OF THE RACE, !!
Reply:Never tried it. I think it's impersonal and kind of creepy.
Reply:I havent had any luck with the internet dating bad luck if anything, i wont mention the sites, but any women who have messaged me from these sites, were all Russian women, not that all Russian women are bad, but they will ask you for personal information, and supply nothing in return about themselves, (CON ARTISTS) and never send anyone money, And the ladies need to be especially careful, there are guys who prey on lonely women, and take advantage of this. So everyone be careful, but listen everyone has different results on these sites, Good luck.
Reply:I think is cool...and it is ok...and yes..I am game for that
