Online Dating?
I've used a couple of dating sites...nothing really any different than meeting someone any other way. They start out being real nice and everything and then bam!!! they don't want to be in a relationship, even though that is what they say!! Good luck to you, tho!!! If you have any luck let me know!!
Reply:They are all mostly married... Unfortunately. *sigh*
Reply:not my thing. the thought of talking and liking someone i never met...idk its weird for me.
Reply:i actually met my boyfriend on myspace, and even though it's a long distance relationship, i am happier than i've ever been, and today is our sixth month anniversary.
and if you're afraid of meeting someone bad, go with your gut instinct. if you get a weird vibe about them, don't keep going with it.
Reply:Well i am only 13, but my mum went on it a few weeks ago, and she has just met someone! They get along really well and she says she has a good feeling which she never had when she was with my dad.
So its all good :)
Reply:never!
Reply:Yes. I met my boyfriend online through this "dating service" about 4 months ago and we been together happily ever since. And we see eachother almost every weekend.
Advice: If you're going to meet up with someone...make sure to meet during the day in a public place the the movies or cafe! Good luck.
EDIT: BTW I tried the online thing just for that reason of being too shy to just go out and meet guys.
Reply:A relative married a guy she met online. They're divorced now.
;)
Reply:WHY WOULD YOU NEED IT!!!!!!
by ur pic u r a beautiful woman, why would u need help finding a man?
Reply:Whatever you do...
Make sure Yidiot gets enough alcohol...
He's dangerous, otherwise...
(and you're gonna need a nerf football...don't ask...)

But it's fun :)
Reply:yeah. well I fell in love(well I thought I did. I am over it now. thank god.) I was pretending to be someone on Myspace (I had a picture of some actress who is not very famous in the Spanish soaps)to get some information of this one girl. ask her questions. well I just put a random zip code,...and then I was getting add invites from some people from Miami because of that and I got one from some guy that said "I" was so beautiful and that if he can write a song about me. I thought he was cool and I started liking him and I was going to tell him the truth but I just couldn't. well he got tired of that he could not meet me and he started ignoring me and I deleted that account. I was crazy over him. thank goodness that I got over it. and quickly too.
Reply:I'd say caveat emptor. I am a mildly attractive 25 yr old female from the city living in a remote area of a rural state. I decided to try out meeting guys online just for fun (myspace, hotornot, etc.) and actually met a few of them in person. One of them I became fast friends with, but the rest turned out to all have something a little "off" about them.. eg. controlling, addicted to internet chatting and porn, inferiority complexes, serial daters, just a little strange. I could see why they had turned to the internet, because it was apparent within a few hours of meeting them that they were not people I would even consider upon meeting elsewhere. I don't know if this is common, or the norm with guys on dating sites, but I would proceed with caution. There are some normal ones out there just looking for something right, but there are some icky ones, too, that hide it well behind an internet persona.
Reply:yeah here is lot of sucess stories and mine is also a sucessful story i met a girl on http://www.bidbuydate.com/dating_3787_Ci... and fell in love with her and now we are going to get marry after a month. u just don't be scared and try it once hope u like it !
Reply:Well I haven't personally but a girl on Pugs and Kelly show (a Dallas radio talk show) was on one and she is about to get married to someone she met on EHarmony or something like that. Or try nocheaters.com

Have You Ever Had Any Online Dating Disasters?
Sucess Stories?
I Just Want To Hear Some Peoples Experiences Because I Was Thinking Of Joining A Dating Site.I Am Just Afraid Of Meeting A Bad Apple.
Online Dating?
I've never done online dating.
The world is full of both success stories with happy endings and horror stories. There are tons of both wonderful people and sick psychos out there. Exercise due diligence, and then some.
Try sites that have you fill out questionnaires designed to develop a psychological profile of the applicant. Basic sites which just ask you for a paragraph and a picture may, IMHO, allow anyone to join, including people you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.
Research and pick online dating sites carefully. Then use a prepaid (disposable) phone when you start to talk to the person you met online. Google the person. When you meet the first few times, double-date with someone you know, someone who'll watch your back just in case...
Remember also, relationships that work are relationships into which the two parties invest time and effort.
Reply:Good question. In my opinion, I think that for every 5 online dating stories, there is just one that makes it through them all with a big success. I have had my share of disasters and successes, but recently I met a guy online that I didn't know and it has been a success so far, it's like we hit it off instantly and everything has been going well ever since. Of course you will find a few bad apples, but they don't have to spoil the whole bunch if you play your cards right. I think that you should try it and let us know how it went. Believe me, there are good and bad online hook-ups everywhere so just so you know, your not alone:) hope this helps and email me if you need any more advice.
Reply:Bad apples are everywhere.
I have dated 3 guys from online dating sites.....one was okay, one i was more then happy to toss back in the ocean. the third well we were to different.
the good---makes you understand what you really want in life/relationships, its cheep, it is something that you enjoy and you can tell a complete stranger something that is bothering you and know that they have no clue who you are.
the bad---I have no idea but way to many guys are pervs/pigs/horn dogs you name them that is all they think about. You miss the up close and personal things while being in a relationship.
will i do it again--you bet. I just wish that more guys where happy with life.
girl go for it and remember you can catch much from typing except carpal tunnel sydrome
Reply:My brother and his wife met online 4 years ago and have been married three years so a success so far.
Reply:I did dating online. It was nice because at times you really are seeing a different side of the person you might not in person.
The downfall is its also easy to hide parts of you, even not purposely, and you fill in the blanks with your own idea and more than likely end up disappointing yourself in the end.
Reply:my mom and dad met online and since theyre my mom and dad it has been a successful one
Reply:some shallow minded people say that its for wierdos-or sad people who cant get dates,maybe in some cases thats true, but most people who go on online dating are genuine people looking for frienship/love.
never tried it myself but know a few who have.
look,if your considering it-and you appear to be sane and normal then how many decent guys do you think are trying it.
its a great way to meet people even if you dont find the love of your life-you get to now peoples personality and its not as awkward as meeting guys face to face....
best of luck to you-ide give it a go....what are you gonna lose if you dont meet the one?????

Reply:Why do you write in that awkard fashion? Please don't do that while online dating. You can meet a bad apple anywhere.
Reply:I met my husband on a online dating site and it is a sucess
Reply:Met my husband online. It was a game not actually online dating but close enough. I think those sites would be great to meet people. Go for it. Don't be afraid to take a risk.
Reply:i still do it the old fashioned way i pick them up in bars
Reply:There have been reports of people finding out that the person was not the "person" that they claimed to be on line. It can be the shopping center for predators.
Reply:Go for it. Just keep in mind that the person MAY be misrepresenting themselves. So . . . take it slow!!! One thing I had to get used to was talking to several girls at the same time (I'm currently on a couple date sites) I've never been very good at dating more than one girl at a time, so it's an adjustment. I don't make dates with anybody right away either. If there's a mutual interest, we'll exchange emails and start a dialog. I've come across a few "frauds", and it's usually apparent after a week or two. Liars have a tough time keeping their lies straight. Plus, if someone is over eager than that will be a warning signal too. It's actually a good way to meet people, just be careful.

I want to try online dating . .. any good online site's to meet interesting ladies. . . or even yahoo answers : )
Online Dating?
online dating is risky id stick with in person no matter how hard or out of luck it may seem.
At least in person you have a better idea of what your getting where online people can lie.
i say if you find a person online dont shove it away but dont go looking for it.
Reply:I met my wife online. And I have met a number of people who also met their spouse.
The best bet is to go to a site that specifies in a certain interest. I am partial to a site that is for those of your religion, as I feel that is the most important part of compatibility. But there are many such sites for every interest.
Just be careful. You are a guy, so there is not so much danger, but for the gals, it can be deadly!
Reply:plenty of fish.com but be carefull lol
Reply:There are a bunch of websites. Craiglists, e-harmony etc. On yahoo answers you might be able to. Chatrooms also. Chatrooms are a really nice place to meet people and talk. Local chatrooms to your area. Or chatrooms of all areas.
Reply:If you are willing to spend a little money, the best would probably be eharmony.com
Reply:I have tried eharmony, match.com, and yahoo personals. So far i havent met anyone who is normal or worth my time.
Reply:Dude I'd rather NOT date than online-date you never know who the hell you're talking to. I mean even if they looked like what they said and were the same age and s**t you never know what kinda person they are... they could be lunatics.
Reply:try this one its really best site
http://www.bidbuydate.com/dating_3769_Bo...
Reply:There are alot of sights that you can go onto and just look, but you have to create a profile. You don't actually have to pay, but it's hard to communicate without an account. I've browsed several and haven't joined one yet. I have talked to alot of freaks though. Good luck!

How do you feel about online dating, and meeting people through dating sites like myspace, eharmony, match.com and true..
Would you do it? Have you? What happend? Success or just a waste of your time?
Online Dating?
I tried yahoo personals, eharmony and match.com
I didn't like eharmony--didn't find any of the guys who were matched with me even remotely appealing. I liked yahoo, but met the most guys on match. I met my boyfriend on match after being on the site for 9 months. We have been dating for over a year and I feel very lucky to have met him. I met a total of 11 guys and for the most part really enjoyed meeting them. I think my best advice would be to try to stick with meeting guys in your area. The three that I corresponded with in other states didn't ever seem interested in meeting, just wanted to spend a lot of time emailing.
Reply:I dont online dating, it's to risky. i just make friends with them. it's better to know someone in person then online dating.
Reply:For people who is curious to online dating, or wish to success from an internet dating, they should go for some specialist dating sites which drives a closer possibility and chance to meet someone who is perfect match to you at your near place or the other end of the earth!
A lot of information about specialist dating sites can be found at here: http://super-sweet-date.com/top_dating_s...
The truth is that, during last year there was 1 out of 8 US people who met online and were married at the end. This tendency is still growing rapidly and for our next generation they might probably be surrounded with this kind of cyber dating environment, no one should find it a hard time to adapt to it.
Reply:i guess it would just give you someone to talk to when your really bored on the internet
Reply:Online dating was the worst mistake of my life. The men I met through these dating sites are all a bunch of liars, adulterers, and thieves. They also have alot of mental problems and drug and alcohol problems. Many of them are just playing games and aren't even interested in meeting. Some already have girlfriends and wives. The ones that are interested in meeting are interested in only one thing - your body. And maybe money, too. They are good liars and good actors and will make you believe anything. I highly advise against online dating. You're better off being alone. I learned the hard way. By the way, I wasted alot of money on these websites which I'm very sorry I did. Could have put it to much better use.

Online dating?
there is this girl that I have started messasging to on an online dating site. we've only e-mailed each other a couple times, we've never talked, and obviously have never met. Also, it's been about ten months since my last relationship ended. It was a very difficult break up for me as I lost my first love. Do you think it's normal that I kind of feel an attraction for this girl, but at the same time I don't? Do you think it's because I haven't met her yet and that I haven't had a real date since my last relationship ended? All of your thoughts would be helpful.
Online dating?
Why dont you meet her????? if you dont like her, then move on............ life is too short not to be happy.......... get going................ I met my husband online and we have been married over 7 years now...............
Reply:hi, I had a few bad experiences when i first tried online dating as well, you have to be really carefull with the sort of person that you agree to meet up with and allways take a friend with you on the first real date.
be careful that you check out the sites you sign up with as well, some of them just sell your information on. The best one if found was http://dating.1tops.com
I hope thats what you were looking for.
Reply:Move on and meet her. Theres only one way to move and that is forward.
Reply:having an attraction over someone who haven't met or personally seen is quite difficult as it is... its like putting your hand inside a sealed container not knowing whats inside it... i think what ur feeling is not an attracttion but something more of a curiosity... something intriguing... and this is bcuz of the fact that u're wanting to have a relationship wid someone...
Reply:on line dating is just fantasy . nothing more you could be talking to some fat old paraplegic how do know for sure grow up meet real girls they are fun an they smell nice
Reply:I met my boyfriend online and I love him so much. More than I ever thought I could love anyone. I would say keep messaging her. Get to know her. Maybe call her on the phone. You never know until you try. You're uncertain about her, so only time will tell. Maybe you're just nervous because you havent had a date in so long. This girl could really like you, why not give it a shot?
Reply:who knows. maybe she is the woman of your dreams.
set up a date and try to meet her personally.
if she doesn't sound as good as she is online, then just leave.
if, by any chance, she refuses to meet you in person and insists to wait for at least several weeks. do these things below.
1. cam on cam conversations on messenger
if she says she doesn't have a webcam. tell her to buy it. ( i got it for $15 at walmart)
2. ask her if she has websites such as myspace or facebook.
that would help you understand what kind of friends she has and how her social life is going.
3. be honest with her. don't lie .
remember lie will catch up with you sooner or later and you will lose her for good.

Does online dating really work ? I have been single for some time now i have joined onlines dating sites but always get cold feet when it comes to meeting. I have read a few success stories but always wonder if it is people that run the sites making them up lol.
What do people out there really think?
Online dating?
It really depends on the person. For some people it may work, for some it might not. but please, what ever you do dnt give up on meeting that ryte guy. He could be talkin to you now and u might not know...
Reply:I tried it and it wasn't really for me.
Reply:Personally it did not work for me. But my cousin met a guy online and they have been married for 2 years now. I think they met on http://www.cupidpost.com
Reply:I met my gf on match.com
Reply:look, I'm now engaged to that guy i learned from the Internet, and I'm really in love with him, everything is just great till now, and we're planning for getting married.
but you should know that he will never ever have trust in chatting on the Internet with stranger. my fiancee hates me knowing anyone from the Internet, and if it is a guy he totally gets mad!!
Reply:dont bother.use your money for a night out and enjoy yourself
Reply:I met my fiancé on:
Reply:Don't go into it expecting too much... its just another way of meeting people, you might meet someone great or you might not.
The first person who replied to my yahoo personals profile over 4 years ago is now my husband!!
goos luck...
Reply:it's great idea, you have to put yourself outthere or nothing will happen
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...
Reply:You would be better going down to local dance hall, most of the dating site, are for housewives looking for a bit ruff, the fellows looking for a one night stand or put it bluntly a leg over
Reply:i think it TOTALLY depends on the individuals involved.
For some people meeting new people, particularly off line can be very daunting and scarey - but for others its almost natural!!
I think it is possible for you to go through with meeting these people - even though you might be positively shaking with fear - but remember they could be just as scared as you!
it is hard to meet people nowadays, and online dating is a means to an end so try and toughen up a lil bit and go on some dates!
good luck

Reply:yes they do wrk,met bf from one,and together for 7months now,along time for me,but my tip is take things slow,some people when they meet from the net they tend to have sex on the first night,make sure the blokes u chat to are looking for along term relationship,it can also be abit of fun,if thats all u want,met bf from freedating.com,its free!
Reply:online dating is a kind of catch 22. It is harder and harder to meet new people but ther are so many "bad" people on these sites. I personally have had very bad luck on these sites but that is not to say you will. Just be very careful when meeting anyone and protect your phone number and email address until YOU feel comfortable. Good Luck
Reply:I wouldn't trust online dating! You never know the real truth it could be some 60 year old man pretending to be a women for all you know.............i say stick to the basics and meet a man in person. Join some clubs that you really enjoy and then you might meet a guy that enjoys the same interests!
%26lt;3

What do people out there really think?
Online dating?
It really depends on the person. For some people it may work, for some it might not. but please, what ever you do dnt give up on meeting that ryte guy. He could be talkin to you now and u might not know...

Reply:You would be better going down to local dance hall, most of the dating site, are for housewives looking for a bit ruff, the fellows looking for a one night stand or put it bluntly a leg over
Reply:i think it TOTALLY depends on the individuals involved.
For some people meeting new people, particularly off line can be very daunting and scarey - but for others its almost natural!!
I think it is possible for you to go through with meeting these people - even though you might be positively shaking with fear - but remember they could be just as scared as you!
it is hard to meet people nowadays, and online dating is a means to an end so try and toughen up a lil bit and go on some dates!
good luck

Reply:yes they do wrk,met bf from one,and together for 7months now,along time for me,but my tip is take things slow,some people when they meet from the net they tend to have sex on the first night,make sure the blokes u chat to are looking for along term relationship,it can also be abit of fun,if thats all u want,met bf from freedating.com,its free!
Reply:online dating is a kind of catch 22. It is harder and harder to meet new people but ther are so many "bad" people on these sites. I personally have had very bad luck on these sites but that is not to say you will. Just be very careful when meeting anyone and protect your phone number and email address until YOU feel comfortable. Good Luck
Reply:I wouldn't trust online dating! You never know the real truth it could be some 60 year old man pretending to be a women for all you know.............i say stick to the basics and meet a man in person. Join some clubs that you really enjoy and then you might meet a guy that enjoys the same interests!

Online dating?
I met this guy off of one of the online dating services, everything has been good so far...but he is currently going through a divorce for the second time (he 40 and i'm 26), I dont have a problem with the age difference because i have always dated older men. my problem is he's been hurt not once but twice so now it hard for him to open up and trust.... I'm currently at the point of giving up, not only because of his emotionally rollercoaster, but he like to make promises but never fulfills them..what do you think this is a case of?
Online dating?
=it doesn't appear he is on an emotional roller coaster. I am not as concerned about him getting divorced for the second time as I am about all of the broken promises which destroys trust. Chances are he is the type of person who could never open up and trust. Remember a zebra never loses his stripes. Take care of yourself and move on to someone who deserves your love and you don't have to work so hard. Best wishes.
Reply:obviously he's not ready for a relationship, also you have to take his word for it that he was hurt and not at fault. you should probably move on and get with someone who does not have so many problems. it doesn't seem like a good start to a relationship.

Online Dating?
A girl i met online and I started dating 2 weeks ago and we both are hitting it off and we really like each other. It seems every time i try to be affectionate it made her uncomfortable. She tells me she just feel awkward because she is normally friends with the guy before she starts dating them and with me it seems we jumped right into a relationship. How can I get her to feel more comfortable and get past the simple "peck" kiss goodnight?
Online Dating?
My fiance and I were actually in a similar situation as you. It took a little bit of time, but once we knew plenty about each other and felt comfortable with one another it worked out fine. Just be patient with her. Do and talk about some things she likes to help her feel more at ease with you. Develope that trust and friendship within the relationship, then things will begin to progress.
Reply:take a break buddy and realize that she doesn't want to move that fast. if you push her you will lose her in no time. I've been the girl in that situation before, and the relationship was over before it began. and it probably could have lasted longer had the guy waited to make a move. %26gt;L

Online dating...?
Does anyone else think it's sad to do online dating (like match.com)? I'm thinking about it but it makes me kind a little...well...pathetic. Also, like I may just find losers there (like, why can't they just get dates?). Is that an old way to think? Does everyone do it now?

Reply:no, of course not! only desperate people do on-line dating. how can you really get to know a person by just reading what appears on the computer screen? you are really just falling in love with words. "Actions speak louder than words."
Reply:from a normal guys point of view-
how many times do i go out on the town and get interested in a girl and try to start a conversation and find out she has a boyfriend- online dating eliminates this wasting of time and rejection
many decent and normal people are online these days- everyone is working more and doesnt have as much time to go out and meet other single people- others(including myself) find it hard to go out by ourselves to meet people, we like to go with our friends who dont always have time to go out.
online dating can weed out people who wouldnt work for you- examples- smokers, people who dont want kids, people who are planning on moving out of town, certain occupations, certain religions, etc.
i would start by making a myspace.com page and that is a free way to chat with other singles in your area- just make sure you advertise yourself as single
Reply:I think online dating is someone's personal choice. If you are a shy person and are unable to approach someone it's very hard to find that special someone. In that case online dating would be a great option.
If you are a very outgoing person and meet tons of new people everyday, I don't think sitting behind your computer screen is the answer.
That's only my personal opinion. I've heard that a lot of people find the right one using online dating so if you're comfortable with using the service, why not!
Good luck in your search!

Online Dating?
Has any one tried match.com and eharmony.com and had dating or marriage success? Any horror stories? Is online dating a bad idea?

Yes or no. It is all about your luck...I met my bf online, he is nicest man I ever met...
Reply:I have tried Match.com and I've not had any horror stories. I've met two or three people off of it and one of those actually did get pretty serious (and I really liked the girl a lot). So I guess I'd say give it a try. You can meet a lot of interesting people on there and they can have quite a bit in common with you. Hope this helps!!

Reply:I haven't tried the sites you listed, but I have been on blackplanet.com and yahoo personals. My last 3 relationships came from meeting someone on blackplanet.

So I would say it could be a good thing. Though, I've also met my share of nut cases and had one guy darn there stalk me so...it's a gamble!

Online dating...?
I met this guy online, but because he lives in another state, we haven't met. We've recently started talking on the phone, but it's been hard to catch each other because of the time difference and because we have jobs and stuff. He usually calls me when it's late at night for me and by that time, I'm usually asleep. From what I know about him (I do understand the dangers of online dating), I really like him and we get along well. I'll try to call him the next day before I go to work, but he's usually not able to answer. I don't like games, but if he calls me, should I always return his call as soon as I'm able or does that seem too desperate? Or does he just usually need to try calling me again or should I wait a couple of days before I call him???
Online dating...?
I'm glad you asked this question. I've been on his side of this.... sort of. Yes, call him back when you have a chance. Don't play games it just runs us off because we start seeing you as flaky and unreliable. Life does get in the way sometimes so just work around each others schedules as best as you can. Also in my opinion, online dating is no worse for safety than meeting the guy in the produce isle of the grocery store. Either way you really don't know him yet.
Reply:I would treat him like you would any other person. Personally, I return calls as soon as I can if I have missed them if I don't think the other person is busy. I don't think that is desperate- just polite.

Online dating?
Has it really ever worked for anyone? Do you find it weird?
I met this guy online who went to the same highschool as me (i'm a college sophmore). Our highschool is huge, so I've never seen him before. Anyways, we've been talking a lot %26amp; from what I can tell, I might actually have a crush on him. When I checked to make sure he's legit, I found out he hangs out with the really popular kids (which is why we've probably never met). I'm not a loser, but I'm definitely not "popular".
I don't know what to do. He's asking me to hang out with him on spring break.
Do you think our previous social circles will affect anything? How can I make hanging out not-akward? And I feel so weird that we talked online before meeting in person. How can I get over the taboo opinion I have of people who do that?
I'm old fashioned when it comes to dating. HELP!
Online dating?
I've had great luck with online dating (met my now-fiance on a networking website originally and then years later re-met on a dating site) but I think it's a lot different when you're older and don't have a "place" like a high school in common. It would probably be like meeting someone online and find out you both work for the same huge corporation.
I'm not saying it will be easy, but it doesn't have to be hard either. I think the popular/unpopular thing is highly overrated (and will be pretty much over for you once you leave high school - it's just not as relevant once you get into university) so I see no issue with "crossing the clique lines" so to speak.
I'd spend some time getting to know him (in person as well as online) solo before hanging out with either of your circles of friends. That way you can have a good foundation to begin with before you let others' opinions influence your minds.
Best of luck.
Reply:This kind of reminds me of the movie "A Cinderella Story" because of the clicks and how their high school is huge and they've never met because of their social circles, except they are still in high school and hes a football player and shes the "diner girl" and it just causes alot of turmoil between their friends. So you should watch that and honestly, I dont think there is anything to really worry about. Just hang out, and see what happens, but be careful, go somewhere out in public because if something does happen you wont be alone.
I met this guy online who went to the same highschool as me (i'm a college sophmore). Our highschool is huge, so I've never seen him before. Anyways, we've been talking a lot %26amp; from what I can tell, I might actually have a crush on him. When I checked to make sure he's legit, I found out he hangs out with the really popular kids (which is why we've probably never met). I'm not a loser, but I'm definitely not "popular".
I don't know what to do. He's asking me to hang out with him on spring break.
Do you think our previous social circles will affect anything? How can I make hanging out not-akward? And I feel so weird that we talked online before meeting in person. How can I get over the taboo opinion I have of people who do that?
I'm old fashioned when it comes to dating. HELP!
Online dating?
I've had great luck with online dating (met my now-fiance on a networking website originally and then years later re-met on a dating site) but I think it's a lot different when you're older and don't have a "place" like a high school in common. It would probably be like meeting someone online and find out you both work for the same huge corporation.
I'm not saying it will be easy, but it doesn't have to be hard either. I think the popular/unpopular thing is highly overrated (and will be pretty much over for you once you leave high school - it's just not as relevant once you get into university) so I see no issue with "crossing the clique lines" so to speak.
I'd spend some time getting to know him (in person as well as online) solo before hanging out with either of your circles of friends. That way you can have a good foundation to begin with before you let others' opinions influence your minds.
Best of luck.
Reply:This kind of reminds me of the movie "A Cinderella Story" because of the clicks and how their high school is huge and they've never met because of their social circles, except they are still in high school and hes a football player and shes the "diner girl" and it just causes alot of turmoil between their friends. So you should watch that and honestly, I dont think there is anything to really worry about. Just hang out, and see what happens, but be careful, go somewhere out in public because if something does happen you wont be alone.
Online Dating?
Is it right for people to date online? especially if it is a long distance relatonship? My friend is dating someone over the internet. She's 13 and he's 16? Is it wrong for them to love eachother and yet they have never meet? Felt eachothers heat beat?
Online Dating?
About a month ago, I met the most wonderful woman in the world! But, I met her online. We both have feelings for each other, we love each other, and we have talked about it. But we are not officially dating. We are planning on meeting in person this January, and we are planning on dating! But we have agreed that we won't date until we meet.
Meeting someone online shouldn't automatically disqualify them from being datable. But you should meet the person first, in person, in a public place, and with both of you bringing a friend along. Someone should know where you are, where you're going, and what you're doing. I know a couple who met online who are now married and expecting a baby very soon! But I also know people who have had bad experiences in online dating, some very bad. But, I know just as many people in both of these catagories who dated the regular way too. Dating someone you meet online can be a good thing, but you have to be careful.
That all being said, none of the above applies to 13 and 16 year olds. People under 18 have no buisiness dating online in most cases. At very least, any minor meeting someone they met online should be accompanied by a parent, if not both parents, and they should never go to meet someone over 18.
Reply:Well, it is not a question if it is right or wrong, it is a more question of if the guy is who he says he is, could be a dangerous situation.
Reply:They're a bit to young to have a long distance relationship. Its even hard for adults to maintain a good long distance relationship. Its tough and it won't be good for two young kids. Have them keep the other's contact info so they can't see if they're still right for eachother when she becomes 18 years old. But when it comes to dating, they should stick with friends in their own area for now.
Reply:yes it's alright i have a online relationship.
Reply:Now with all the drama on line you may feel you have a connection but what if the connection is been made up?
Are we sure we are speaking to the person they claim to be.They can't say that is love because they have never met and it might not be true what each other are claiming to be.
Reply:It's not love-love it's more there obsessed with the idea of being in love then being in love. It's like people that are in-love with the ideal of falling in love, but have no clue when it comes to love. It will not work out to be honest something will happen with them one will find another one.
Reply:not good. both are young.
be friendly. o.k.
Reply:Sorry but that is way too young to be dating...Not possible to fall in love without meeting the person face to face.
Reply:If she is 13, then its very early for her to get into a long distance relationship, esp with a guy who is 3 yrs older. 13 is an age of raging hormones and everyone wants to be with someone !! Its just infatuation and kids are very vulnerable. Also, online dating can be dangerous, and when you are 13.. do you think you can judge people correctly?
Reply:no thats a negative
Reply:i dont see a prob with it, people can form a relationship online. IMing, sending pics, stuff like that and eventually meeting each other in person. But you would have to make sure you each want the same thing. If you want a real one with only him, gotta find out if he wants the same
Reply:hmm.. i dun think so itz wrong.. but wat actually are they getting from it?? they will miz alot of things in love life if they focus on a relationship wich is logically made impossible.. and the worst thing is that they haven even meet yet.. how truthful can they be to each oder?? so according to my point of view, put the feelings aside 1st and focuz on meeting 1st.
Reply:dating online and meeting someone from online are 2 diff things.
I met my last bf from online dating. we hit off right away, and before i knew it i was in love. we were "together" for awhile seeing each other as often as we could, but had to end it b/c of our kid situation...otherwise I would be with him now and not in TX...we met after 2months of talking and it was like we knew each other forever...we still talk and still have feelings for each other...now at 13 and 16....i dont think its possible...its the idea of it they are in love with.....its very easy to get attached emotionally and therefore you think you are "in love"
Reply:thats retarded. this computer age encourages anti-social behavior
Reply:People can date whenever/wherever works for them. Is it a good idea? Probably not. LDR good idea? Probably not.
Since she's 13 and he's 16, it's probably BETTER that it's long distance.
Sure it's okay to love someone else (even if it's "puppy love").
Felt each other's heat beat? What the heck is a heat beat?

Online dating?
I am fed up with looking for a guy and I don't want to deal with any of my ex's. All I want to do is date. I'm not looking for the love of my life or someone to marry, I just want to date. The problem with most guys for me was that I didn't know them well enough. I use to think online dating never worked, but then I thought it might be fun of course if I'm safe. I don't know, what do you think?
Online dating?
Online dating can be fun you can meet someone new and know that they like you for you not because of how you look. But there are some down points about it. Such as you really dont know if their being faithful, some people lie about who they are, and there are times when you really wish they were there with you buts its not possible. If your safe and are willing to face those factors then go for it. Whats there to lose?

Online dating?
Hello,
I met a girl from online dating and we even met face to face. I asked for 2nd date and she said yes. Also, I felt that she is interesting me but I’m confused here that she still logged on to dating website. What Should I do here? Also, We talked on the phone too.
Online dating?
With online dating at least this is in the open. She ahs met you and may very well be very interested and she may indeed be the woman you spend the rest of your life with but who knows right now.
Her profile is still up and she is probably still getting hits. That does not mean she is responding and she may even be responding by saying she is seeing someone or interested. Either way usually one pays for the service and profiles just stay up for a while. My fiance's profile has lingered for almost 2 yrs until they finally removed it.
lastly-is your profile still up?
Reply:dating = going out with whoever, whenever you want. You're obviously not "exclusive" so dont' worry about it.
Reply:Online dating isn't real. I tried!!!

So is it wierd to fall for someone after only talking to them online a few times? Me and this guy have been talking for only a few weeks and I feel like we have know each other for years. I know this happens in person, but online? Now I have never done the whole online dating thing.... so should I pursue it or just leave it as is?
Online dating....?
well try to call each other, see each other on webcam, and eventually meet( yes, thats possible even after long time)
Reply:Do yourselves the favor and go out with him. I just hate it whenever I'm making a strong connection with someone and then she just stops mailing me for no reason at all. :(

Online dating?
New to the whole online dating world (wonder if I am too old fashioned for it).
When emailing someone met thru the online personals, is it typical to be flirty with more than one person? This guy and I have been emailing a lot for 5 months now, he is very nice and we met once- which I thought went great.
He says a lot of nice things and all and ends his notes with a kiss yet stays as single on the personals site. Normal or ... ? Should I consider it just fun play and nothing more? I think he is fantastic and he is not too far away but am thinking now that maybe he only writes to be nice, or enjoys the 'risk free' world of online chat and Nothing more. (sigh)
Online dating?
You can't put a lot of faith into online dating , most of the people on there have been on for years and it is a big game to them a lot are just players and married men and women posing as single...Email me if you want to talk about it...
Reply:Single? True? Why is single? Is he a psycho sex offender who doesn't like marriage? Or does he have STD's?
Anyone can look charming on the internet world, even dangerous criminals with writing talent. Online dating can get you raped, murdered or infedted with any SDT including HIV (not a good way to die).
I stick to the old-fashion face to face meeting "REAL" people.
Reply:Not normal....if you met him(after 5 months which is excessive) and he hasn't suggested another date then he wasn't interested in pursuing things furthter if he hasn't contacted you to get together again. Be careful with online dating...not everyone is who they appear to be. Strike up a conversation online (careful about giving out personal info like phone #) and meet for a coffee in a public place. If they stick to online conversations then move on...they are not interested in meeting in person.
Reply:I think you need to leave him to decide on his own if he wants more or not. You have even met so he knows what he's got. I would not push it %26amp; wait.... but at the same time don't invest all your emotions on him or you will get hurt. Try to meet others.
Best of luck.

It's not weird at all. It's easier to make a connection with someone without all the other hassles that get in the way with face-to-face contact [though that is wonderful too]. I have a few very close friends online. One is my best friend. I don't know what I would do without her. We have known one another nearly 3 years and have plans to meet. She brought a lot of wonderful people into my life. I have met 4 people from online- 2 turned out to be those people the media warn you about, one is another good friend, and the last, well, he's my fiance! By all means go for it. But please, be careful. Good luck!
Reply:I've been there a few times, actually. You just go with the flow. If something comes out of it, great. I was just recently talking to somebody that first hit me up on 360. We hit it off and feelings just took over. You never know. Anything's possible. Report It

Reply:I met my husband online and we've been together for 7 years now. My suggestion is, take it one day at the time. If you feel comfortable by talking online now, why don't you meet him in person and see how you feel.
Reply:Hi, it's actually happening. Been talking to this guy for
a month, and yes we became close, we also talk on
the phone, nearly nightly aside from text daily, I call
him special name, and yes called me something spe-
cial he made it up, and it's good.
But you know, before we even meet on the net he
has this plan of going overseas (my country) for a holi-
day and to learn about my culture, he said. because
he's been learning my language for 2 yrs in the book,
and this is the time for him.
The next day he got there, he text me with his new
number, so we begun the communication, I actually
ring him almost nightly to check if there's someone
there. The communication was ok , for just 9days,
then the communication died down, till i just don't text
or ring him anymore, and that was 11days.
Now he's back and on his way home from the airport,
he text me and sai he's on his way home, and would
ring me as soon as he gets home.. yes he did . .
but you know, my mind is sharp, that i know in between
that time there was girl , so I said NO, I've changed
because there's no communication, also I'm not stupid.
I've emailed him and said I had it and we can say good-
bye, and then he said but we don't have a sexual relation-
ship, and that's different thing.
But you know I felt hurt,, we haven't met but we're close.
as if we did, also he lives not far from me.
But i don't think I still wanna get back to where we were.
something already happened.
Right now I haven't replied to his email 3 days ago, i'm
not sure.
I don't know how close you are with the guy but maybe
you try to meet, who knows, but you've got to be
ready whatever the outcome maybe.
Good luck . . .

Reply:well, it may seem akward at first, but you may become accostomed to it. She how he feels about it. Online you really get to kno the others personality and not just worry bout their looks and such. If you like his personality a lot, continue on
Reply:i think tha tit is very much possible but you do have to be careful when you meet up, but it coudl turn into a beautiful romace, I know of relations that have worked out from online, the web opens us up to every person in the world, that just maks the ocean bigger for us fish.
Reply:well try it, but be very careful. Some guys online are just pretending.
Ask him if you could meet. then you will know if you really know each other.
ALL I CAN SAY IS PURSUE IT. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL OKAY??

Reply:I met my husband online and we've been together for 7 years now. My suggestion is, take it one day at the time. If you feel comfortable by talking online now, why don't you meet him in person and see how you feel.
Reply:Hi, it's actually happening. Been talking to this guy for
a month, and yes we became close, we also talk on
the phone, nearly nightly aside from text daily, I call
him special name, and yes called me something spe-
cial he made it up, and it's good.
But you know, before we even meet on the net he
has this plan of going overseas (my country) for a holi-
day and to learn about my culture, he said. because
he's been learning my language for 2 yrs in the book,
and this is the time for him.
The next day he got there, he text me with his new
number, so we begun the communication, I actually
ring him almost nightly to check if there's someone
there. The communication was ok , for just 9days,
then the communication died down, till i just don't text
or ring him anymore, and that was 11days.
Now he's back and on his way home from the airport,
he text me and sai he's on his way home, and would
ring me as soon as he gets home.. yes he did . .
but you know, my mind is sharp, that i know in between
that time there was girl , so I said NO, I've changed
because there's no communication, also I'm not stupid.
I've emailed him and said I had it and we can say good-
bye, and then he said but we don't have a sexual relation-
ship, and that's different thing.
But you know I felt hurt,, we haven't met but we're close.
as if we did, also he lives not far from me.
But i don't think I still wanna get back to where we were.
something already happened.
Right now I haven't replied to his email 3 days ago, i'm
not sure.
I don't know how close you are with the guy but maybe
you try to meet, who knows, but you've got to be
ready whatever the outcome maybe.
Good luck . . .

Reply:well, it may seem akward at first, but you may become accostomed to it. She how he feels about it. Online you really get to kno the others personality and not just worry bout their looks and such. If you like his personality a lot, continue on
Reply:i think tha tit is very much possible but you do have to be careful when you meet up, but it coudl turn into a beautiful romace, I know of relations that have worked out from online, the web opens us up to every person in the world, that just maks the ocean bigger for us fish.
Reply:well try it, but be very careful. Some guys online are just pretending.
Ask him if you could meet. then you will know if you really know each other.
ALL I CAN SAY IS PURSUE IT. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL OKAY??
Reply:online dating is good if you have no social life...and you have a problem meeting people.....in other words...it's lame. =(

Online Dating?
Do you have a profile on any of the online dating sites? Have you ever actually met someone online and gone out on a date?
Online Dating?
I know 3 couples, 1 who met over a phone chat line and 2 who met online, both of their significant others were from out of state. Both also have been married for more than 3 yrs. One of the ladies I know moved to Wisconsin last year to meet her husband to be, for the 1st time. She is now pregnant. So some people just have good luck with cyber dating..Try it! You never know. =) Good luck
Reply:yes i have profile on http://www.bidbuydate.com/dating_2437_An... nd i met my b/f on this site !!
Reply:I never used a "dating" site. I was on yahoo 6 years ago and started chatting with this guy. We chatted for about a year as friends and out of the blue one day he asked for my number. I figured after a year of chatting with him online it'd be ok to talk on the phone. I gave him my number. He called the next day right as I was walking out the door to go to the grocery store. I asked him to call me back later and he never did. I later seen him online again and asked him why he never called back...he said "because you blew me off". Either way he ended up calling me back and we talked for like 4 hours. At the end of the conversation he asked me out on a date. It just so happened he was only about 30 minutes from where I lived. I agreed and went out on a date with him. Needless to say we have been together 5 years and married for 2. It's been awesome! That's my internet love story lol!
Reply:I've met a few people I talked to on message boards, but nobody I ever met on a "dating site." (I used to work for one and I had to sign up for all of them.)
Dating sites don't work because they are magnets for the desperate. You'll have a lot more luck on sites where you have common ground as the reason for you being there in the first place.
Reply:don't waste your time with that shyt. Meet people in real life and take risks.

Online dating?
What do you think about online dating? It seems to me that more people are relying on technology rather than actually interacting with people lately. Is online dating a good way to meet people, or are we all just becoming more and more reclusive?
Online dating?
I think online dating is just another way of meeting people. We live in a technological age, so it is obvious that people are going to meet by using this technology.
I know several people who have had successful relationships after meeting someone either in a chat room or via an online dating service.

Reply:ppl want things easy and online is easier than going out and finding someone.
Reply:There is no such thing as "online dating." There is typing. Please don't confuse the two.
"Dating" requires meeting someone in person and communicating directly, with all the subtleties and nuances that go with it.
By the way, what does this question have to do with LGBT issues?
Reply:like you say those relationships are usually meaningless, because a lot of people choose not to interact with others in person because they lie about who they are or how they look... so i think is not safe to to go on line dating, is true that you can meet nice people on line but never left behind the part of interact in person.
Reply:I don't think it's reclusiveness so much as simply not having the time to have social interactions as we once were. With so much social pressure to work harder, not better; attain more goods rather than spend more time with people; many find it hard to socialize as we once did.
Reply:Hey not sure . Just started chatting on line with this person in another country. I think that it is a great way to gently work your way into dating if you are not confident or if you have been out of the game for awhile. Or in my case your chatter is in another country!! I think you could find the rightr person for you . good luck
Reply:In my opinion it is great. You can narrow you field to what you like, and then make arrangements to meet them. I met my wife on line, thus I have to say it is a great tool for meeting people in world that seems to get faster.

Online Dating?
I have online dated once, it didnt work out. Should I stick to regular dating or online?
Online Dating?
How about doing both?
Online dating can be an excellent way of reviewing large numbers of people who are pre-qualified, ie. single and looking.
Yes there are liars and wierdos online (I've heard, though I've not met any women like that personally. Perhaps only the guys!) But the people you meet other ways could be equally unsuitable. A little caution and common sense discretion should keep you safe.
I find online dating to be a great way to screen women for those who I might be a fit with, but I am fussy and am looking for a particular type of woman with a certain outlook (intelligent, philosophical, a "je ne sais quoi" that comes through in their writing).
After you learn about them through what they have written, you can meet to see if there is any "chemistry", which would include being comfortable with each other, having a rapport, and of course physical attraction. Often there is not, so you want to meet soon for a quick coffee before you develop a false sense of hope based on messaging.
If you want to do it the other way around with regular dating, finding chemistry first and then making sure the person has the rest of the stuff on your "list", that's okay too but you will have to work hard to meet as many people and getting to know about them as quickly as you can with online dating. Regular dates might not be comfortable filling out a questionnaire or profile!
Also, speed dating can be very efficient for this latter kind of approach, checking a lot of people for "chemistry" very quickly. It can be kinda fun and you don't need to take it too seriously.

Online Dating.?
Has anyone tried online dating or the chat room to find their significant other? And if so do you prefer online dating or meeting them in public?
Online Dating.?
Well, me and my bf met on the net.
I had a profile for a few months, but i wasn't really looking to ACTUALLY meet those people that were writing to me...it was more of an "ego" thing...i guess....you know, putting pics with you, getting compliments...whatever.
One day i decided to close the account as i have had enough of weirdos and "proposals" (note: i never posted "suggesting/naked" pics).
And before doing so i went to the chat room, which i never did before (my "goal" there was checking my messages and never responding), to see what's going on there.
And there was this guy who was saying that dating sites suck, that people pretend all the time to be somethign they are not, that everyone chickens when you actually start sounding serious....bla bla
So i got his email and i msn-ed him.
This year in April we celebrated 3 years since we are together.
P.S.: He lives in another country and i followed him.

Reply:online dating is great . some people prefer it others not so much. my friend hates it but his best friend ( my boyfriend ) loves it . anyways . meeting them in public is always cool cuz you can always meet the real them =]
Reply:i prefer to meet a potenial boyfriend at school or something. Because it's weird meeting online and then meeting in real life.
Reply:I know a girl who meet her guy( husband now ) online. It ok just as long as your telling the truth about yourself and so is he. Some people find it easier to chat and get to know someone on line first to see if you have stuff in common.
Reply:You can not find your 'significant other' online!!!
Reply:On-line dating is too risky. You never know if they're who they say they are. And if you meet them they may be serial killers looking for their next victim. Or some 60 year old pervert looking for a thrill. Nope, I'd rather be alone than rely on the Internet for a B/F or hubby.
Reply:i prefer meetig them in public because you can not know somebody better just by chatting on the net.you need to know one character and also know her wants and don;ts.
Reply:I've tried it.... Don't do it.

Online Dating?
This online dating stuff...I've tried talking with women online, but they never actually want to date or simply hang out. How do I let them know that I'm not some creep looking for a score? Really, all I want are new friends to hang out with. I've tried people on myspace.com but with no luck. You can check out my page it's www.myspace.com/rayz_place. Let me know if I come off in a negative way.

why dont u try making friends in real life?
but if u still want the internet as a way of knowing new ppl, here is an advice: NEVER ask a lady about cam, mic, or pic b4 she fully trusts you, believe me tht questions drives me nuts bcz it gives a first impression tht u r just looking 4 a dirty talk, wait till u r friends, and trust me she'll chase u
Reply:maybe you should try leaving your house instead of talking to a computer screen......i know it sounds harsh butseriously you need to meet people who you can actually form a relationship with......internet relationships hardley work cause its veyr hard to see the real person when you only know them online..........
Reply:Why don't you go to a night club?
i also agree with Chexy
Reply:Dating online is in some ways just like dating in the real world. If you continue to be honest and persistent you will meet some good people. As you gain more experience with online dating you will be able to better spot sincere individuals like yourself. Be patient and keep trying.
Reply:I met my guy on line dating and it took a few different sites and quite a while but it finally happened!!!
Reply:Online dating is not easy. SO many people have so much damn baggage. You can't imagine. So, if you are a together guy, I would look elsewhere. Try after school activities. Sometimes that is a great way to meet people.
Reply:Friends maybe what your looking for but people are real cautious. Like me, It's kinda hard believing you want to be just friends when you just ask to be friends with girls or that you have to go online to do it. Internet ain't safe, so everyone's cautious.
Reply:I wouldn't trust dating on line you never know who it is it might be a 400lbs man that wants a new playmate. You can lie on the net really easy and i rather meet face to face so you know what you are getting into.

Online dating??
why are more and more peole dating online. i mean arent there enough people out there to date really. this world is filled with hot guys and the ones that are on the computer are usuallly desperate losers. no offence.but people lie so much online and yet people look instead of getting a little active and going to a mall to look for someone special. why
Online dating??
because people are lazy like you
Reply:Online dating doesn't work. Don't try it. You'll be sorry. Report It
Reply:You meant offense.
The truth is, the people dating online are similar to the people who date in real life. All online-dating is is Pre-dating. people try to match up interests before they try to date for real. That's all.
Reply:i think so many people do it because they think its so much easier i agree with you though you cant believe what anyone says on the computor and youd be better off lookin for your self
Reply:Well online is cheaper than going to a club. I met my wife on line and we have been married 3 years. You are right about people lying so I had a few rules
1. No chatting unless you had a webcam
2. meet only in public places never give out adress for the first month.
3. Proof of age.
4. Always trust your instincts.
5. Be prepared to bail at the hint of something going wong.
Following these rules didn't always get me laid but it kept me safe
Reply:The reason is because they have probly already found out that the females in there area are a bunch of stuck up b!tche$ and are tired of there insults and or they just flat out ignore him/her. i know this cause this is what happened to me and i found my soon to be wife, if you dont agree with it then how bout finding out why females are so stuck up in your area.
Reply:There are plenty of ways to see what someone looks like now.
To call someone a loser because they might date someone they met on line is narrow minded and judgmental.
What, is it more romantic to meet in a bar drunk??
Some might say it's harder to spark someones interest online because you are dealing with intellect and personality before seeing the person.
It's hard to be interesting in an IM, you know?
Reply:Online dating isnt the way it use to be, it has gotten more serious in these past few yrs than it has ever been. yes there are a bunch of who you like to call "losers" on the internet who cant seem to find a girl/guy by going out and looking for dates but theres nothing wrong with wanting to match interests and personality with somebody online. dating isnt much different online than it is in real life except the fact that you dont get to see each other as often or at all, but for a relationship to last communication is very important and nowadays ppl who meet ppl in public only go for their looks and not personality so in the long run those relationships dont last.
You have to look at it from both perspectives, some ppl prefer to go out and look for somebody and some like to look online so they can match themselves with somebody that fits them. Just let ppl do what they want to do and quit criticizing the way ppl date, if you dont like it dont do it, its that simple but let everyone else live their own lives.
Reply:Online dating can go both ways. Good or bad. I have dated online a couple of times. First time I went on a date with a guy it went bad. Now I met a guy online 7 months ago and we are pretty serious about each other. It is going great. You have to be careful in what you are looking for. A person can usually tell by profiles that a guy (or girl) is after one thing. I am very happy with the man I met and I dont consider him a desperate loser or do I consider myself one. I do agree though, there are SOME desperate people on there also.
Reply:Most people can be more open about themselves online. For example: adults like the swingers personals sites if they are into the lifestyle. These sites like swingersetc provide a way for people who are into the same thing to find others who match their profile. Most people are very pretentious .. even online.. but at least online you can be more cautious about meeting strangers and at least get more info on them. Exchange photos.. etc.
Reply:The best site for online dating is http://www.okcupid.com because they are totally free. Not only that, but they are the only dating site that makes people take a psyche test. You can't really lie on a psyche test. If you met a person by random chance, all you can see is if they are attractive physically or not. Unless you are a psychologist, you probably won't give them a psyche test.
The pay sites are worthless. On okcupid the younger the age bracket you search under, the better looking the people are. Its extremely popular with the under 25 crowd regardless of looks.
Not every girl wants to go to a bar and risk waking up naked next to a guy she doesn't remember meeting. With online dating in general, you know something about the guy beforehand.
Reply:because i think online dating just get u hot and steamy on the computer but in the real world you could be dating someone on the side and still date that person on the computer it's nice to have a extra sweet boy on the side to confront you but really cant Lol it sound stupid but think about it {it's true}

Reply:Online dating isnt the way it use to be, it has gotten more serious in these past few yrs than it has ever been. yes there are a bunch of who you like to call "losers" on the internet who cant seem to find a girl/guy by going out and looking for dates but theres nothing wrong with wanting to match interests and personality with somebody online. dating isnt much different online than it is in real life except the fact that you dont get to see each other as often or at all, but for a relationship to last communication is very important and nowadays ppl who meet ppl in public only go for their looks and not personality so in the long run those relationships dont last.
You have to look at it from both perspectives, some ppl prefer to go out and look for somebody and some like to look online so they can match themselves with somebody that fits them. Just let ppl do what they want to do and quit criticizing the way ppl date, if you dont like it dont do it, its that simple but let everyone else live their own lives.
Reply:Online dating can go both ways. Good or bad. I have dated online a couple of times. First time I went on a date with a guy it went bad. Now I met a guy online 7 months ago and we are pretty serious about each other. It is going great. You have to be careful in what you are looking for. A person can usually tell by profiles that a guy (or girl) is after one thing. I am very happy with the man I met and I dont consider him a desperate loser or do I consider myself one. I do agree though, there are SOME desperate people on there also.
Reply:Most people can be more open about themselves online. For example: adults like the swingers personals sites if they are into the lifestyle. These sites like swingersetc provide a way for people who are into the same thing to find others who match their profile. Most people are very pretentious .. even online.. but at least online you can be more cautious about meeting strangers and at least get more info on them. Exchange photos.. etc.
Reply:The best site for online dating is http://www.okcupid.com because they are totally free. Not only that, but they are the only dating site that makes people take a psyche test. You can't really lie on a psyche test. If you met a person by random chance, all you can see is if they are attractive physically or not. Unless you are a psychologist, you probably won't give them a psyche test.
The pay sites are worthless. On okcupid the younger the age bracket you search under, the better looking the people are. Its extremely popular with the under 25 crowd regardless of looks.
Not every girl wants to go to a bar and risk waking up naked next to a guy she doesn't remember meeting. With online dating in general, you know something about the guy beforehand.
Reply:because i think online dating just get u hot and steamy on the computer but in the real world you could be dating someone on the side and still date that person on the computer it's nice to have a extra sweet boy on the side to confront you but really cant Lol it sound stupid but think about it {it's true}
Online Dating?
I met this guy online a while ago, and we are now dating. The only thing is, he still has his dating profile online. I want to ask him to delete it, but i dont want to sound controlling or jelous, but i also dont want him to be going behind my back on there and meeting other girls. Is it wrong for me to ask him to delete it?? How can i ask him w/o sounding so jelous?
Online Dating?
hell no he better delete it! just tell him i mean ask him if he is still using it as much as you trust him and love him you never know what they are doing behind your back. trust me i know. plus if he cares about you he won't mind if you ask him right. how long have you been dating? and what is the level of your relationship? exclusive? open? that all factors in too
Reply:just ask him u should fell like that
Reply:Are you in an exclusive relationship, or still in the "getting to know one another" dating phase? Usually, with the method that I teach to my clients, they actually go out on dates with up to 7 people at a time until they find the one out of the group that they want to pursue a relationship with. If you are in an exclusive relationship with him, then I think that it is a discussion that you should have with him. However, if you are just beginning to date one another, he's probably not 100% sure about you just yet. I would simply ignore the fact that he has his profile up, and enjoy your time with him as much as possible... if the two of you are perfect together, it's only a matter of time before he realizes it and your dating turns into a relationship.
Reply:Reminisce about how you guys met and lead into the time when you took your profile down (you did, didn't you?) and then ask him if or when he took his down? If he really doesn't think it is a big deal (because he doesn't even check it anymore) you need to decide whether you trust him or not. Or just explain your feelings to him and if you bounce off each other, you can figure out where the rest of your relationship is going.

Online dating?
So I joined an online dating site as part as an extra credit project. In the process, I met someone who I enjoyed talking with. A while ago, I met him and had dinner. In person, I really didn't like him (nothing at all to do with his appearance). He kinda had this pretentious feel about him. I knew he was more on the intelligent side then most, but he really had this stereotypical ivy-league vibe going on. Anyway, before I left to go home, he kissed me, only he missed slightly because I kinda pulled back. Quite a shock to me because this was the first time we met in person. Now, part of me wants to just keep chatting with him online since I still enjoy doing so. And a small part of me, wants to go out again and make out with him. Why? Because I've kissed guys, but I've never made out with one and I'd like to experiment and practice. I don't want to lead him on though.
Just as a reference, I'm in college and I've just been a really shy person when it comes to guys and dating
Online dating?
It sounds almost like you just want to use him (either for conversation or experimentation). If you intend to keep things going with him, I'd at least allude to what you want from him. Who knows, maybe that's all he really wants from you too.

Online dating??
Met this person on one of the dating sites online,we really clicked,we talked for couple of hours everyday,i remove my profile on that dating site for him, he said he will remove his profile to show how serious he is to me ,but still his page is still active, Is he still trying to meet other girls there?Any advice??HELP!! i really like him but why is it hard to trust someone you met online?
Online dating??
yes he is, he probably gonna more online profiles on numerous of sites
Reply:I know how you feel...and trust me he is not going to remove his page. And if he does i suggest you check out the other dating sites. If he removes himself from that site guarantee he is on another and another. Men love this attention and the never endin results.
Reply:its hard to trust someone because A) you never really met face to face and spent actual time "together"
B) you cant see his facial expression %26lt;- can tell you if hes lying and blah blah i trust you know that
in his defense
also maybe he forgot too
you might want to ask him about it.
- if he really cares he;ll understand and do it ASAP
Plus hey you dont know he doesnt have other gf's on other sites also.
thats why online dating is such a big risk. if you date some online you should be true about what you say and who you are.
if i did id probably wouldnt trust anyone and always :"have my shield" up
Reply:forget him
Reply:it's hard to trust people that you meet online, because the fact of the matter is they are strangers. My advice to you would be to take it very slow. If he told you he would make a commitment like that, then he should do it without hesitation. Just don't "put all your eggs in one basket." Don't put all your faith in his words...because 1)he's human and people lie 2) even though you've talked to him online and by phone, you still don't really know him 3) you could meet someone even better than him and in better circumstances. Good luck!
Reply:Cause it's hard to trust someone you met online, just as you said.

Hey out there. Just a quick quiestion. Do any of you out there have any online dating stories to share? I recently joined an online dating community and would like to hear from others.
Online dating?
Two stories...
I met my first girlfriend online, a few years back. She lived 20 minutes away from me. We dated for two months... But just weren't meant to be. I left her for many reasons... She was too immature, too much of a drinker, too sexual... As I said, many reasons.
I also met a girl recently online, but she lives a good distance away. It started out as a friendship, but after months of talking every day, we got really close... I can honestly say I fell for this girl. But she met a guy where she lives, and I had to realize that it was all in vain... It hurt, but it was reality.
I never thought having feelings for someone through the computer was possible. But, wow, was I wrong...
Just be careful who you tell personal information to... It's a scary world.
Reply:I met my current wife online. Since I am very shy, I used the internet because I feel more comfortable speaking to someone on here. When we met, I was shy, but since I told her I would be, things went a little better. True, there is that "trust" issue where you don't know if the other person is telling the truth, but sometimes you have to believe. We chatted for 4 months before we met and everything went great.
Reply:Online dating is like dating offline. They can be jerks and beeoches regardless. I have join two online dating sites and posted a personal ad on craigslist and nothing..its like dating offline..your chances are just higher! But if you think that they are picky in real life wait until you get responses from online dating sites! Its worse! So bad yet that I have given up on looking for a boyfriend or manfriend or lover..soul mate..whatevers! And focusing on working, paying my bills, going back to school, and being financially stable! Life is too short to be chasing men around when I need to get my life straight! Being alone to achieve these things are better anyways! Kisses!
Reply:I'm a white guy who is enchanted by Chinese girls.But it's not easy to date Chinese girls around me.Recommended by friends,I tended to a dating site called http://www.cncupid.com/photo/romance .I posted my profile there and attempted searching Chinese girls by location.To my surprise,I found several Chinese girls in my area.That was enough because among them,I was deeply attracted by an educated and decent girl.Without hesitation,I sent her a wink.She didn't reply me at first.But I didn't lose heart.I sent her an email soon telling her some information about myself.Then,the situation turned well.
You know,before I sent her the email,I tried to learn something about Chinese culture knowing what to say and what not to say to Chinese girls.
Actually,it's important if you want to seek international romance.
Reply:You can't find true love on the internet, i'm sorry that's just how it is. Anyone who does that is an idiot, it's weird, and you don't know the persons history.

This whole online dating thing:
Has anyone really meet there ture love on them? I'm not looking to online date so let me that point clear :P
I was just interested in any succses sotries or horror stories from it.
And with any answer if you could please leave the website name that would be much help!
I'm doing a project for college on this subject.
Thank you :)
Online dating?
I met my current boyfriend online....he's the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in years. This took a lot of time and effort however....you cant give up...I probably went on over 50 dates before I met him....and he traveled across the continent to meet me the first time! we are now living together and very much in love. If we both hadn't been a little crazy and very adventurous, we'd never have met! Sometimes in life you just have to go for it. It's paid off for us at least! I think online dating is fine-you meet people you'd never ordinarily meet in your day to day existance....and who ever said your perfect match was going to live right next door anyway????
Reply:yes..I met my current bf online. We have now been together for 6 months. I've definitely found the love of my life. In fact, I didn't expect to meet someone online, but some good dating services really work.. haha.. We plan on moving into an apartment together in a year and a half, when my college will let.. btw, i am goth but he isn't..we met on Gothicsoulmate.com .. cool. huh?

My friend has been online dating w/ this guy for awhile...
they been sending eachother pictures, talking on the phone, Watching one another on the video cam.. just to make sure no one was a imposter "lol". But even that being said I still find it a little weird to online date someone.. what do you think?

I also think that it somehow feels quite weird to date someone online...It just doesn't feel right
Reply:u cant really trust online dating cos man!,its just creepy period!
Reply:you are right,it is weird because you never know what it is really on the other end.i myself have tried this many times but it never worked in my case or simply put it is better to meet someone face to face.it is all very very tempting because it is all on the net and you think no one's watching.but many people have been duped and cheated and so it is for the best that one does not do it.i myself am single and yearn for a good friend.at all times i do have one good friend who never fails me and that is,"krishna" or god!good luck.
Reply:I kinda do too....
but someone once told me a person is still a person no matter where you meet them...whether its at a bar, grocery store, or church...or the internet ...that person is still a person so...
I kinda view it both ways...
Reply:I think you need to find a hobby!
Reply:I can say online dating worked out for me!! I am very happy now with my HUSBAND of 2 years whom I met online 3 years ago from Chicago ( i live in west tex) He has been the most wonderful man in the world to me and I can't see a day going by with out him in it.! As for your friend she's a big girl be there and encourage her to do what her heart tells her to. I was very scared at first when I met my then (online bf) but now i'm glad I took that chance. Maybe she can meet him in a public place for you know safer reasons. I met mine at a bus station and i didn't go alone..that's basically all the advice i can give!
Reply:I would rather be able to be close to someone, but who's to say your perfect someone has to live near you? The world is massive, and there are zillions of people. Maybe this might work out for them.
She sounds like shes being safe making sure its him, so I see nothing wrong.
Reply:hi, I had a few bad experiences when i first tried online dating as well, you have to be really carefull with the sort of person that you agree to meet up with and allways take a friend with you on the first real date.
be careful that you check out the sites you sign up with as well, some of them just sell your information on. The best one if found was http://dating.1tops.com
I hope thats what you were looking for.
Reply:Indeed, it is strange.
Reply:I think it is if they never plan to meet. There is no point in continuing to talk and fooling yourself into thinking that a relationship can start and continue without ever meeting.
