Online dating? is it okay?

okay i go on a lot of websites and ive known this one guy for a long time now. we kinda sorta are in absolute love with eachother. we talk all the time! we're not that certain with dating online though. we dont know how it will turn out. i mean the physical factor isnt there. hes so sweet and i love him to death. in fact i might be seeing him this summer when i go to cali. and yeah i know for a fact the hes not some 40 yr old pervert playing a trick on me. so what do u think? should i give online dating a chance?

Online dating? is it okay?
it's okay if you wanna meet a 35yr old who pretends to be 18.





WEBCAM CHAT. Also MIC chat so you know he's not a phony,
Reply:More informartion from you would be great, in order to get a better picture of the situation. Have you interchanged pictures? addresses? have you sent him something directly to his house and checked that he recieved it? do you have his phone number? have you used it?


The only thing you are risking here is your personal security.


So, that is the only thing you need to double check here.





After you are sure, I guess everything is all right.


Good luck!!!! (but take care, let someone else know about your visiting plans)
Reply:You don't love someone you haven't met...but it may develop over time, after you've gotten to know each other offline.





I know many couples (offline) who met online and are together long term or even married.





Ya never know what may happen...just be realistic, and use the 'net as a tool for dating and meeting people, but don't discount the old offline methods either.

Reply:How can you love someone you don't know? I hope you are smart enough to get a background check on this person before you meet him. Dating behind this veil of anonymity is DANGEROUS!! Be safe and sure.
Reply:i think online dating is kind of complicated sometimes, but u could give it a try. U should ask him to get a webcam so u know he's not some 40yo creeper lol
