Dating on the internet - IMO I think the internets is great for holding a long distance relationship together. I met my S.O. in college. After we graduated they moved back home with their parents for a year and a half. But we still dated. Luckily they weren't too far, so we could actually meet up every couple of weeks. But in between that time we'd have "dates", where we'd turn on our webcams, each get a glass of wine, turn on the same channel on TV, and watch it "together".
Horray for webcams and e-mail. I can't imagine trying to do a long distance relationship with snail mail, and photos, instead of daily e-mails and webcams!

Meeting someone on the internets - This, I am not too sure about. I have a crazy coworker. She's 34, and she uses plentyoffish.com (or something like that). Every time she goes out on a date with a new guy, I feel so sorry for the guy! They have no idea that they are about to go out on a date with a really crazy person! However, I do have internet friends that I have talked to since high school. If I were single, I would have considered hooking up with them. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't officially "date" them, until I had gotten to know them in person.

JMHO
 
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 didn't see this post. Its enough reason to be scared of internet dating if Hermoor is your partner. *hide*
also craziinova-I do think your avatar is too big.
 
Yeah, I just edited it.

Hermoor? ugh, you could just imagine a creep like that on a sleezy chat site
 
i think that as long as there is some degree of human contact that it's good. just can't imagine a date going "lol u r so beautiful <3 <3"
 
Met an ex on the internet....  Then she turned out to be a cheating whore....  Of course, I actually bear no ill-will towards her and we're still good friends.  I just kinda realized what's done is done, might as well move on, and she's still a pretty cool person, so why end a friendship too, it's just the romantic flame has been murdered...violently.

meh, only one girl that I accepted that on but that's cause she gave me a heads up before we started a relationship about her lifestyle. Rest of the time though I few cheating as almost as bad as breaking a commandment.
 
Dude do not be friend with her! What are you thinking, obviously there is something inside you that still wants her in some way for you to continue keeping her in your life...

I know from personal experience, read the post I made up there first.....

Actually no, I've grown to realize that we're not supposed to be together AT ALL.  Like, I can get where you're coming from, but I have no interest in her anymore.  I don't even know what I was thinking to begin with.  However, there is someone else that I've been after for 3 years, but thanks to my anxiety issues, I can't bring myself to ask her out =(
 
Woah 3 years?? If I were you I could have just dated other girls. You must really like that girl.. Damn I wish I knew how you feel. Hmm..
 
I used to be really anxious when I was younger, but you will find that if you will just ask it gets easier every time. Until one day you'll meet a girl and ask her right there and she'll say yes...happened to me)
 
my girls stuck by me through alot of turmoil i've went through these last three years, and for that, i know i can trust her more than anything
 
I know but check this man, I knew a girl for 2 and a half years, and she totally f@#$ed me over! I have found that people dont begin to show some of their true selves to you for YEARS.

Really?? Well at least the girls I've dated before are still the same and we stayed friends even its after years.
 
Now dont get me wrong, thats an isolated case, Im sure not everyone is like that lol, needless to say anywhere in life, you should always keep your guard up.

Try 5 years, got engaged the month before, then completely Effs you over. I've dated 5 girls since and all of them liked me enough and I liked them but I could not bring myself to the next stage of saying I love them or want to stay with them. I just would rather not have that slap to the cock and heart again.
