im curious

whats everyones views on internet dating?

my relationship with my girl is mostly internet and online, sinse i only get to see her once maybe every other summer (she's in carolina, im in ontario canada) but i've had this relationship for about 4 years now, and it with it working, it makes me wonder how everyone else see's it.
 
Which Carolina are we talking about here?  Maybe I'll go steal her from you!!
 
I don't like it. If my girlfriend is leaving to some far place we'd rather breakup and be happy for each other. I think being with your girl is what makes it fun and interesting so if its only for the internet that you communicate I think not. Although that's only for me though I never will try internet dating.

I humbly second this request :roll:
 
Wouldnt so much call it internet dating, but I met my wife through myspace.

I left to california with my g/f of 2 years (off and on, real rocky) and when we got there she took off on me but she gave me her car.Anyway I didnt know anyone and sent out like 200 msges simply stating I was new in that town and had moved from alabama, and was interested in meeting some friends. I got and pursued like 3 or 4 replies, but then I met my wife and we havent been seperate since the day I met her...so I guess it worked out.

Nice success story,

Internet dating is tough. The only reason I like it is people tend to be more honest with what they want.

Odd story:
A 35yo Japanese Nurse (it was an internet chat site designed to practice social communication in Japanese. ) ended up liking me so much (I'd just turn 18 at the time too lol) that she offered to pay my travel and such to marry her and live in Japan  :o
Obviously since I'm in the US I didn't accept. *sigh* now I know that with all the downfalls that relationship could have been I could of just had a mistress on the side :P
 
My mom and stepdad met online. They've been married for seven and a half years now. On the other hand, statistically internet dating has fairly low success rates.

I really don't know what to think on the matter.
 
Actual dating on the Internet? That's a little weird. Meeting on the Internet? Not that uncommon. If we're talking about matching services I'm not sure. I personally know two couples that met through one of these services, though one had met once and had a blind date together first (the odds on that are pretty long). They just like to say they met on the Internet.

They're normal couples. I don't see how meeting on the Internet's much different from meeting anywhere else as long as you don't lie about yourself. That's the biggest flaw I see. People purposefully lie to see if they can get "better" people.
 
I met the love of my life on the internet. I think its a great thing, it gives those people who really don't have much confidence in themselves (like me) a chance to talk and get to know the other person before you arrange to meet. Obvoiusly you make sure you have talked for a while on both phone and have seen the person on cam before you arrange to meet so you know who you are meeting. But I think its alot easier to find someone who shares the same interests online than in real life.
 
heh, i'd post a pic but she's asking me not to, and i respect her wishes
 
Woah I never thought many of our members here uses internet dating. Hmm Good Luck to all of you then. :)
 
HA! Never had the guts to try its a scary world out there, you could end up with a stalker that crazy in the head that wants to wear your skin!!!!.
 
I'm in the same position as Mako.  I can just imagine falling in love with some random person on the internet and arranging to meet, only to find out something I did not expect...

ZOMG, you could accidentally end up dating Hermoor!
*shudder*
 
I don't understand how you can 'date' on the internet exactly. You have to be in physical form to date. I've met and had romance with girls on the internet, and made good friends. My two best friends on the internet, Anais and Serge, I've known for years and they both live in Toronto, Canada and I met them separately, and then *i* introduced them together which was a bit strange if you think about it, considering I live in England. They didn't hit it off though. I swear I will go to see them both one day though.

Anyways, 'Dating' sites are for desperate people as are people that use facebook for the same purpose. There's a lot of sad people out there, I guess.

A Date is just setting up a time to meet doesn't have to be physical. Like phone sex, your not there physically but mentally either way your having sex...

I don't know how someone in their right mind could use a service like that... you're paying like £5 a minute to talk to someone and you have no idea what they look like. You're better off buying a naughty magazine.
