I still recieve mails from a dating site I used to check out a few years ago. They send me a list of new adherents every week.
This morning I found my boyfriends picture in the list! He adhered a few weeks ago and in his profile it says 2 people have taken an interest in him and the last time he checked the site was 2 days ago!
He is a very loving and caring boyfriend and we get on very well. He says, he hopes our relationship will last and really really, almost deperately, wants a child.
If I tell him I know about him on the dating site, he will amedeately say that I am also checking it out!
I sent him a message on the site (with an alias) suggesting we meet up... Not sure if that was a good idea, he will probably recognise my profile even if i don't have a picture on it...
So what else should I do?
What should I do about my boyfriend who is on internet dating site?
How strange that your asking us,you know what you should do,dont you?
He is still looking so your not the one and only,just dump him,he's a cheater.
Reply:just tell him. if he kicks of about then there is something fishy about him.
Reply:dump him.
Reply:get rid is what id do. he should have no need to go on dating sites.
Reply:Wait for a reply. If everything goes according to plan he will respond. He has no respect for you because he has no respect for himself. Admit it he is addicted to dating sites and needs to get help. And you are addicted to proving his provocative attitude with other females. Get a new bf and drop this loser.
Reply:Wait and see what reply you get first. If he answers you then dump him. He could be looking on the website out of curiosity, but then again If you tell him that you know he is on there he may think you have trust issues. I would bring up a general conversation about dating websites in a few days and see his reaction. You could say that a friend of yours is thinking of joining this site!
Reply:it's a good idea to meet up with him...!!!You will see what he is going to do when he's seeing you there.Go for it...i think that's a way how to find out what he really wants.If he isn gonan be angry when he sees you there,it means he was excepting someone else...and it's not good
Reply:Tell him you've found his pic on the site. If you both start hiding things now, your relationship isn't going to work. Be careful about having a child with a man who is still looking for other girlfriends.
Reply:I would get a friend to sign up to the site and arrange to meet him, and see his shock when they turn up. Also he may reply saying hes not looking right now as he is in a relationship so that will answer you question, but if he actively pursues a date then I would dump him.
Reply:get rid of him computers seem to take men away from the nice people. I have seen 4 friends loose interest in wives and g/f due to spontanious meeting thro the internet
Reply:Confront him, and see how you feel about his expilnation, doesnt sound good tho. sorry
Reply:my dear,
tell your boy friend the truth and always say sorry if you do wrong. if he really love's you he will never leave you alone. build a trust in him. i hope it works for you

Should I be upset that the guy i am dating is on a internet dating site?
We have been talking for about 3 months and have taken it to the next level(if u know what I mean) two weeks ago. Everything seems cool still, but I found out he is on a dating site. Should I be hard on him for just looking?
Should I be upset that the guy i am dating is on a internet dating site?
The true answer to this question is entirely up to you..However I don't believe that this sit is good grounds to get mad about unless he goes further than Internet connection with any other females...But on the same step your the one who has him why be insecure about a website?Remember no female can "take" your man..Men only stray when they want to
Reply:yes.
Reply:first of al maybe he posted on there b4 you ...but if not then yea you should be very upset..if he is happy with you what is he lookin for on there..and if he isnt happy with you ..why dont you know about it?
Reply:depends how close you guys are and if you consider yourselves an item. Boyfriend/Girlfriend of just dating? If just dating, you don't have a good reason to be upset. I would just communicate to him and let him know what's on your mind.
Reply:Well, depends if the two of you are monogamous or not? Are you open to all the secrets? But if the 2 of you met from the Internet then I wouldn't be too upset. But I think you should confront him and see how he takes it. Maybe he has just forgotten to take off his name from the website? Let him have his say first before anything.
Reply:Yeah if he was serious with you he wouldnt be on those sites

What are your thoughts on meeting someone, for a possible date, on an internet dating site?
I think in today's time and age, it is somewhat difficult to actually approach somebody you don't know and attempt to get to know them and flirt with them. Whereas, dating websites seem to make this process a lot easier by allowing single people to break the ice and get to the point.
I have never used such dating sites so I am asking you:
a.) For the U.K., which sites would you recommend?
b.) What costs are associated with such memberships?
c.) Is it easy to cancel your membership should you wish not to continue?
d.) Do you think it is a wise and successful way of meeting your future bf/gf this way?
Thanks everybody.

If you are hurt by a former ex, well you just need to get yourself up and start searching for someone who deserves your love.

Has anybody ever had a succesful relationship using internet dating?
i never met anyone through the internet ...im kinda the old fashion type when it comes to meeting ladies ...but all my friends seem to be doin it...is it worth it .........i mean were u nervous the first time u had to meet?
Has anybody ever had a succesful relationship using internet dating?
Not always...but there r a few exceptions. one of my friends is happily married with her net friend for more than 5 yrs.
i know its very hard to find someone loyal on the internet.....nobody tells the truth here. but if u have to do it thru the internet then u have to believe them. give it a go...there's always a first time and u will get used to it like ur other friends ;)
Reply:it can be sucessfly if u put effort towards it ..so far i never tried internet dating only have some net friends last time but its like we just lost contact :(
Reply:Nope. Just met 2 guys (in Ireland) that I had been talking to for a year, and it was great. I would suggest though, that you talk for a good while through the site or emails, gets the 1st meeting jitters out of the way quite a bit, and gives you things to talk about, since you have been conversing for a while. But, I don't know if I'd listen to me or not...I picked a dating website in another country because I was nervous!!! But, they both worked out great, so....
Reply:NEVER EVER had a succesful relationship on the internet. Maybe you can make friends but not much more.
Reply:I've met a few boyfriends online because I'm rather shy. And I didn't meet very many guys who wanted to get married. I met my current boyfriend of 5 months on a christian dating site. We've talke for 6 months. And I lived a state away so I moved up here 3 months. It just got to the point where I really missed him. We talked everyday. And had a lot in common and great communication. So it can work out. I'm still living up here. It's not for everyone, but you just have to know what you are looking for and just don't take anyone that comes along. It can be a pleasant experience. But I've met a few duds too.
Reply:I met my wife on the Net. She was in Moscow and I was in Los Angeles. We have been together for ten years. I know others who have done the same. The net allows you to meet people all over the world.

What are some dos and don'ts of internet dating?
Is Yahoo Personals a safe place to start looking? Would eHarmony be too nationwide? I am in a small town in GA and I want to meet people within a 50 mile radius but I don't want to be bombarded with freaks and stalkers...I guess I'm sort of spooked but I have been talking to people and have heard some good things about meeting people on the internet. I just want to talk online initially and if I connect with someone really well then we'll see...Give me some good advice please. I need all the help I can get. This is totally outside of the box for me but this when month's pass and I don't meet anyone that I can have a good conversation with, it sucks. HELP!
What are some dos and don'ts of internet dating?
Although I don't do internet dating anymore since I have a great girlfriend I know it like the back of my hand. First off, let me help relieve your fear. You are not a freak or a stalker right? So what makes you think the person on the other side probably is? There are a lot of very normal people who are just looking for someone without hitting the bars.
What you first want to do is create a short profile with great pictures of yourself in there. Make it seem like you care about meeting someone, without having them read an entire novel about you. You don't want to bore them with useless details. Also, make sure your pictures are top notch. You don't want to put in a single picture of yourself that you don't like. Sometimes guys might judge you based on just that one photo.
When it comes to describing yourself make it short and sweet. Talk about yourself and what makes you who you are. Describe a few interests, but not a ton. When describing who you're looking for also make it short. You have to make the guy want to contact you and find out more about you. You should allow your sense of humor to shine while coming off intelligent. Run your profile through a spell checker to correct any spelling mistakes. Spelling does matter!
Now I'll tell you about some different services.
http://www.mate1.com
This site is 100% FREE for women. You get every feature a man does when he pays. The downside is that it's not as popular as other services. However, the upside is that there are tons of questions you can answer about yourself such as your favorite movie or food. It really allows your sense of humor and personality to shine while giving people interesting things to read.
Yahoo Personals
This site is pretty popular and has quite a few members. You shouldn't have much trouble finding guys in your area. They also allow you to send a free ice breaker. The downside is that they block your email address in your emails to non members. So, when you send someone a message with your email be sure to go back and check and see if it went through to them. You can also disguise your email by saying something like, blah AT yahoo DOT com.
http://www.match.com
This site is very similar to Yahoo but you can view people who have viewed your profile. You're able to see guys who might have thought your picture to be attractive to them and maybe they were just too shy to email you.
http://www.eHarmony.com
I met my girlfriend on this site and I think it's great. The first person I met on there wasn't really much of a match at all, more of a dud. However, the second one I met, my girlfriend, was a perfect match. The free personality profile does do a pretty good job of matching you. In the end all of dating is a numbers game, however.
Now that I've described the dating sites for you let me tell you some things to look out for when meeting people from the internet. You should first start off by chatting with AIM or Yahoo messenger. Or you can do the whole email thing if you prefer that. Stick to text based chat for about a week or more. Just be sure you feel comfortable enough for this next step, giving out your phone number. Just because a guy asks for your number doesn't mean you have to give it to him. Be selfish and make sure you're 100% comfortable giving it to someone. After you do give your number away say something sarcastic like, "Now don't be like the other guys and call me 100 times a day" This should shatter a common problem with women, guys who call 100 times a day and annoy the hell out of them. The first phone call the guy SHOULD ask you out on a date after a small conversation. If you accept the date make sure you meet him in a public place and do NOT go anywhere private with him. The best way to do it is to just meet up for a cup of coffee and get to know eachother better. This way if the guy is a total moron or incredibly annoying you can leave quickly after finishing your drink. It's much better than being trapped with someone you don't even like because you have no car. I hope my advice helps you and good luck!
Reply:I wouldn't do it at all in the first place. Just go out with some girls and meet a guy at a club. Or join clubs or meet the dream boy at work! Something other than besides internet dating. Just don't do it please.
Reply:easy, just go 2 eharmony n type in that u want a guy that is w/in 50 miles. most guys rnt stalkers... mostly stalker r girls if u think bout it. but just try it 4 like, a month n if u dont like it quit it
Reply:do-not internet date
dont-internet date
Reply:There are no DOs just DONT"s. People can say anything they want to on an questionaire. All they need is a good psychology book as a reference. I'm sure many people have met and dated successfully via the internet but who wants to be the one who hooks up with the whacko. I don't think the risk is worth it. Join a church group, or a club, take a college course. Get your friends or co-workers involved in your search for Mr Right. That way at least someone you know knows him.
Reply:do not meet them in person alone
do not tell them personal info such as address phone numbers.etc.........

Has anybody reading this found true love via internet dating or do you somebody who has?
cos i have tried it for over a year now and whilst i have made some fab friends i have found the large majority of guys are just desparate for a s**g!! and are rude and offensive on msn and yahoo
In face to face meetings in clubs etc too thats all i find
is there any hope or should i leave net dating and not try too hard
your thoughts and experiences please peeps
thankyou xxx
Has anybody reading this found true love via internet dating or do you somebody who has?
Like anywhere, there are good and bad experiences. I find that some people think that the internet means they don't have to try as hard, so they skip to the chase and ask for sex. Other people hide behind the internet and want to drag meeting into some month long chat fest. It depends on who you meet.
I have found some cool people, but you have to remember that seriously 95% of people anywhere are just a waste of time. It's a numbers game. But either way, best not to LOOK for true love online or in a club or anywhere. Just look to meet people and have fun and true love will find you.
Good luck.
Reply:A friend of mine found true love on the Internet. Her now husband lived down the street from her. They got married in the Bahamas three years ago. Another friend of mine found true love on the Internet. They lived in the same town. They got married last year in Las Vegas. I have never had much luck with online dating. I dated one person. It didn't work out longterm. It works for some and not for others.

Reply:Not through internet dating but through myspace. About a year ago I was addicted to myspace but wasn't looking for a guy since I had a boyfriend. A guy ended up messaging me and we hit it off well as friends.We talked for a month but I stopped talking to him because my bf and I were going through tough times. After about a week my bf and I broke up so I called the called I was talking to on myspace to feel better. He ended up asking me to go out with him the following week. We met up and fell in love. There are def. some weirdos out there but you just have to talk to them and put them in weird conversational situations to see how they respond. good luck!

im single now and plan to stay that way.
Reply:I only dated one guy I met on the internet. We corresponded three months before we met, and were together for about 2 years. I've known him for about 6 years now, and he's still my best friend.
Reply:My brother found the love of his life online. He was dating a girl he met online before he got married to his wife and she was a HUGE loser. But he's very happily married now. I think it's kind of a hit and miss type situation.
Reply:yes...it does work. just be in control and have patience.
Reply:My sister (who is a doctor) married a man she met through an online dating service. She went on alot of dates, but he was the only guy she had a second date with. She was able to determine right away that there was no point in seeing them after the first date. Maybe she got lucky, but I think he's even luckier.
It's possible but set your standards high!
Reply:Yeah, my cousin met someone and married, and at least two couples at my church met over e-harmony. I guess who you are and where you're looking might make a difference. From my observations, males who are pretty decent guys have had the best luck on those sites. Kinda hard for a girl to look around with out seeming like a slut, I guess. *shrug* For what it's worth. Hope you are able to find someone!
Reply:My experience...#1 guy-cheap and boring, #2 guy-nice, but not in control of finances, (makes a bad mate in the long run, plus he kissed like a cow), #3 guy-just wanted one thing, (don't ask), #4 guy-excellent candidate on paper, had everything in the world going for him, but depressed and no joy at all in his life, #5 guy-another excellent candidate on paper (see, with experience, the discernment gets a whole lot better!) but emotionally unavailable and flat, some would, and have, called him boring. #6---there will be no #6, I gave up on that venue.

Reply:yes...it does work. just be in control and have patience.
Reply:My sister (who is a doctor) married a man she met through an online dating service. She went on alot of dates, but he was the only guy she had a second date with. She was able to determine right away that there was no point in seeing them after the first date. Maybe she got lucky, but I think he's even luckier.
It's possible but set your standards high!
Reply:Yeah, my cousin met someone and married, and at least two couples at my church met over e-harmony. I guess who you are and where you're looking might make a difference. From my observations, males who are pretty decent guys have had the best luck on those sites. Kinda hard for a girl to look around with out seeming like a slut, I guess. *shrug* For what it's worth. Hope you are able to find someone!
Reply:My experience...#1 guy-cheap and boring, #2 guy-nice, but not in control of finances, (makes a bad mate in the long run, plus he kissed like a cow), #3 guy-just wanted one thing, (don't ask), #4 guy-excellent candidate on paper, had everything in the world going for him, but depressed and no joy at all in his life, #5 guy-another excellent candidate on paper (see, with experience, the discernment gets a whole lot better!) but emotionally unavailable and flat, some would, and have, called him boring. #6---there will be no #6, I gave up on that venue.

So I have been dating this guys on and off since New Years. We met through a internet dating site and well I .
... instantly fell in love with his personality. Our only problem is he lives 300 miles away so I have only gotten to see him twice since we started dating.We came and spent a week @ each others houses and met family. The week he came to my house I love being w/ him but not 24/7 @ the moment. I ended up breaking up with him @ the end of the week. It has been up in the air since March. My problem is he keeps putting his whole life around me and around my calls. He tells me who I can and can't talk to yet he goes on camping trips and has a girl sleeping next to him. He says hes never cheated and I believe that, but he seems to always accuse me of it because he is a virgin and I am not.He keeps asking me back out and gets mad when I tell him it just isn't the right time. He is moving down here for school in August am I wrong to make him wait till then. Is it possible to be in love with a person but just not want to date hime. Also my mom doesn't like him and that is hard. What to do?
So I have been dating this guys on and off since New Years. We met through a internet dating site and well I .
If he is trying to run your life now, imagine what it will be like when he moves to where you are at. I think you better take a good hard look at your situation before he gets here. He will smother you and try to run your life.
Reply:Just tell him what you are thing of and what he should do. If he fails, give up.

Women only...... Have you been on an internet dating site?
If you have been on a dating site, besides looks what is the 1st thing you look for in a man? Location (because if he lives in a certain area it is known that he would have money), income, kids or not, occupation, if he was married before.
Women only...... Have you been on an internet dating site?
Location - because I'm not into long distance relationships!
The whole point of a dating site is to meet someone, i.e. after exchanging a few emails and phone calls a meeting in person should be arranged as soon as possible.
Apart from that, I don't know what I am looking for. Well, it would be good if we had some interests in common and like the same kind of music. As long as he is solvent I am not concerned about income and assets.

How many responses for your ad on Internet dating site?
If you post your profile with or without your photo on a typical dating site, how many responses do you get on average in one day?
I got 4 in one day.
Is it like 40 to 50 for a woman?
How many responses for your ad on Internet dating site?
Women get more attention on dating sites. Women don't get 40 to 50 a day. Maybe five or six. Sometimes more. But once on a site it slows down.
I used to get several a day. I had lots of one time meetings...I call them "meet %26amp; greets"
I am not dating a great guy and no longer need the dating sites.
I met him on Yahoo Personals. It is hard at my age to meet decent singles in day to day life....the Yahoo Personals are great.
Yes, I met my boyfriend on Yahoo Personanls. My daughter met her bf on Yahoo. They have been together for three years now and have a beautiful little baby boy.
Reply:1. i havent posted any yet, if i posted anything in future i will surely tell u how much response i got.
Reply:It is a good idea to sign up for a couple of dating sites in order to have more people to select from. There are even some dating sites that are totally free. For more information, go to www.webdatingguide.com.

Why do men have to pay in Internet Dating sites, and women don't?
Yeah, i tried a few dating sites some time ago..and was amazed at the fact, women could do it free and men had to pay the whole service. why? I bet these women have better jobs than me. in fact many claim in their profiles to have great jobs and be independent. so?
Why do men have to pay in Internet Dating sites, and women don't?
I've never heard of what you're talking about. The major ones that I know of, like eharmony and match.com, both men and women pay.

a free site is www.plentyoffish.com -- it is free for everyone.

Reply:Going on personal experience I have met about 10 guys in the last 18 months through internet dating. Three of them seemed really genuine but after a few weeks it was obvious they were all the on the rebound and were looking to numb the pain of ex-wives or long term girlfriends.
My sister met about 5 guys who were either bitter or on the rebound but then she met her partner. Be careful and take it all very lightly. If I started up again I would go in not taking anything on face value. A lot of guys (also heard from friends) are there for casual relationships (and maybe women too). I wish I had been more careful it would have saved me a lot of heartache.

those sites are not worth your money. try the real life first. if it doesn't work for you, then...try it on line :(
Reply:Join girls date for free. Like the name suggests it's free for women and you get the same men here as you do on the paying sites. I would warn you though, watch out for the creeps and idiots, but you get those on every site. You just need to learn to ask the right questions and listen to how the guys answer you to know if they are worth meeting. I am in Yorkshire and am very choosy about who I meet, but have found it a great advantage to meeting guys in pubs and local outlets. At least this way you get to know if the guy has anything about him other than his appearence.
Reply:In one answer, No. Its not everyones cup of tea. It might suit you, you will never know until you have tried. I think you need to be outgoing and easy going taking the rough with the smooth.

At what age should persons start using internet dating services?
I'm sixteen and was wondering when would be a good time to try online match making/ dating services. Do they have an age limit? Are there sites especially for younger persons? Or am I a sick freak?
At what age should persons start using internet dating services?
You're not a sick freak but you're too young to be on online dating sites. You have to be 18. Just try social activities to meet new people. I have not heard of any sites for those under 18 probably because it would create a breeding ground for child molesters. Head to the mall or a bowling alley or meet people at school or work.
Reply:Um yeah, unless you want to be involved in some federal sting case somewhere down the line I'd wait until you're 18. There are laws regarding this, and while there are specific laws that are different around the (world), communications on the internet are defined as federal crimes because of the way the internet works. I personally wouldn't go there and just resolve yourself to the fact that you are indeed a sick freak ;-) (kidding....)
Reply:they say 18 but you can lie about your age.
Reply:Most dating "services" require you to be at least 18 years of age. And I would have to say that the age would be the age when you actually start considering yourself to be a loser.

How did a guy I met through an internet dating site find me I never gave him the town I was living in?
I met an guy over 1 year ago through a dating site, we have been emailing one another for about 10 months. I never told him the true city I live in, but the true stat and I Never told him my real name !. He lives in Tulsa Oklahoma. Also when we met on the dating site my picture was posted and his wasn't but I enjoyed talking to him and he promise to send a picture , he never has, but says soon, (right). We have never talked on the phone and I made sure not to disclose any personal information, but I did tell him a few times I go walking on the seawall and I live near Houston. Well, today is my birthday ( never told borth year) and I receive an email from him, that I have flowers waiting for me at a local flower shop and he says he hopes I live in or near that city. Yes I can the florist and the flowers and gifts are there. Should I be afraid , during the couse of us emailing he seem to be ok...but now I'm worried . How did he find me with such little information
How did a guy I met through an internet dating site find me I never gave him the town I was living in?
"go walking on the seawall and I live near Houston."
How many bodies of water are really anywhere near Houston?
Probably just deduction, hopefully he isn't a stalker and just a harmless guy with a sincere crush on you.
Reply:You should be glad he is not an idiot and he was able to put 2 and 2 together and pick a near by shop based on the fact that you live near Houston and take walks on the seawall. also you said that he said that he hopes you live near that shop which means that he was just making an educated guess. you don't have anything to worry about unless he shows up at your house, but then it will be too late.
Reply:that is scary...could he have gotten from the dating website some kind of way?
Reply:you'd be surprised what you can accomplish on the internet nowadays. For about ten bucks, I can find you by your last name and first name, and the process of elimination.
Reply:Honestly it isn't very hard to find out, there are way to many ways to list.
What you should hope for is that he was actually paying attention to the things you said and pieced it together over time through various little things you said (possible since you have been talking for so long), as opposed to going searching for you on the internet (Creepy)
All in all, if he sent flowers on your birthday to a local flower shop, I would assume that hes not an insane stalker, (Aka 10 months of talking should let you know of what his personality is like) and just likes you and was trying to surprise you.
I do not know your personal history or the things you said, but do not be to quick to freak out ;). I would suggest that you just ask him, and odds are he will tell you what it was you said that he remembered.
Reply:There are places on the internet where you can type in some info and it will show you some things that can help with a search!
In your case, i think you should not converse with this person any more, change your e-mail address, tell your parents about it, and do not go to meet him!
Haven't you been watching that program on TV, where the TV program has a fake young girl who contacts some guy, then he is invited to a certain address, When he shows up, with sex toys, and other things, he's arrested and charged! there are all types of crackpots out there preying on young girls, with just the method that guy used to find you!
Beware--beware--tell your folks, don't fall for his wiles!
Those types of people use e-mail and the internet to further their games, so don't go to pick up the flowers, because he'll know to further his search, and might even find your home, and all he'll have to do is watch and wait, until you're home alone, then he'll swoop in, and you won't be able to defend yerself,!
He might even have told the flower shop to call him when you go to pick up the flowers, and they may have called him when you called to inquire if they were there1 See how easy it is, if ya aren't very careful??
HTH: James H.
Reply:tell the police :-(
Reply:May be he is guessing. He wants to see your reaction.
Reply:If your phone number (the one he has) is listed in a directory, you can do a reverse search on the number and find who it is and what their address is. And it's perfectly legal because it's public information (from a phone book).
Reply:Do NOT meet him before he sends a photo.
I had a coworker who was meeting women online through E-Harmony and only telling them he was "fat."
True indeed.
He weighed a good 450-plus and bathed rarely.
Overweight isn't the only problem someone could present, but people should like the looks of their potential mates/dates.
Take your photo down and don't show it to any guys who have not ostensibly shown you theirs first. And don't lie any more.
Reply:Do you have any personal information on your email? If it was your personal email acct you used to email him, it could have come with your name on it. He didn't just pull the information out of the air. The dating site won't devulge any information so it's not them. I would be worried too, have you thought about asking him where he got the information? Or you could just say that you never received the flowers %26amp; gift, that way he won't be sure he has the right address.
Reply:Baby, If he hasn't done anything by now, chances r he won't, its been 2 long 4 that and he would of already made his move if he really wanted 2 rape or even kill u, don't u think. Chill out baby, if he waited this long chances r, hes doing it because he cares and respects u, otherwise he wouldn't of waited this long.
Reply:He took a good guess you overly paranoid freak.
Probably pulled up google earth. Punched in Houston, and then looked for seawall areas. And kept his fingers crossed and guessed.
How bout, you've been talking to him for 10 months, call him on the phone for crying out loud and thank him profusely for caring enough to even TRY and send you flowers.
Yep, and could have just typed in your last name into the white pages and kept his fingers crossed. which is why he picked one out and said he hoped.
Reply:Well if you have your town posed anywhere else then im sure it would be pretty easy. People can do anything nowadays.
Reply:Don't let him know he got the city right for one. And if it's been 10 months and he won't send you a picture.....drop him...He's hiding for a reason. I don't know how he found you but someone I was talking to did something similar and I stopped talking to him. If you want him to know where you live you'd tell him. I would not talk to him anymore. If you are underage, tell you parents. It's better to admit to a mistake then not and end up dead.
Reply:it might be pure coninsidence. he may have remembered u saying u lived near houston and he decided to send to flowers to a shop there, hoping it would be close enough for you to pick them up. he doesnt know your house address so obviously he didnt do tht much investigating, if he had figured that out, then you should worry. so jst relax, this may jst be a nice guy who wanted to give you a happy birthday surprise. dont take it the wrong way
Reply:You need to tell someone like the authorities.Perverts can find someone by a simple screen name.If i was you i would call the cops. Block the person i don't care if you know him online well. people lie!

Reply:Honestly it isn't very hard to find out, there are way to many ways to list.
What you should hope for is that he was actually paying attention to the things you said and pieced it together over time through various little things you said (possible since you have been talking for so long), as opposed to going searching for you on the internet (Creepy)
All in all, if he sent flowers on your birthday to a local flower shop, I would assume that hes not an insane stalker, (Aka 10 months of talking should let you know of what his personality is like) and just likes you and was trying to surprise you.
I do not know your personal history or the things you said, but do not be to quick to freak out ;). I would suggest that you just ask him, and odds are he will tell you what it was you said that he remembered.
Reply:There are places on the internet where you can type in some info and it will show you some things that can help with a search!
In your case, i think you should not converse with this person any more, change your e-mail address, tell your parents about it, and do not go to meet him!
Haven't you been watching that program on TV, where the TV program has a fake young girl who contacts some guy, then he is invited to a certain address, When he shows up, with sex toys, and other things, he's arrested and charged! there are all types of crackpots out there preying on young girls, with just the method that guy used to find you!
Beware--beware--tell your folks, don't fall for his wiles!
Those types of people use e-mail and the internet to further their games, so don't go to pick up the flowers, because he'll know to further his search, and might even find your home, and all he'll have to do is watch and wait, until you're home alone, then he'll swoop in, and you won't be able to defend yerself,!
He might even have told the flower shop to call him when you go to pick up the flowers, and they may have called him when you called to inquire if they were there1 See how easy it is, if ya aren't very careful??

Reply:tell the police :-(
Reply:May be he is guessing. He wants to see your reaction.
Reply:If your phone number (the one he has) is listed in a directory, you can do a reverse search on the number and find who it is and what their address is. And it's perfectly legal because it's public information (from a phone book).
Reply:Do NOT meet him before he sends a photo.
I had a coworker who was meeting women online through E-Harmony and only telling them he was "fat."
True indeed.
He weighed a good 450-plus and bathed rarely.
Overweight isn't the only problem someone could present, but people should like the looks of their potential mates/dates.
Take your photo down and don't show it to any guys who have not ostensibly shown you theirs first. And don't lie any more.
Reply:Do you have any personal information on your email? If it was your personal email acct you used to email him, it could have come with your name on it. He didn't just pull the information out of the air. The dating site won't devulge any information so it's not them. I would be worried too, have you thought about asking him where he got the information? Or you could just say that you never received the flowers %26amp; gift, that way he won't be sure he has the right address.
Reply:Baby, If he hasn't done anything by now, chances r he won't, its been 2 long 4 that and he would of already made his move if he really wanted 2 rape or even kill u, don't u think. Chill out baby, if he waited this long chances r, hes doing it because he cares and respects u, otherwise he wouldn't of waited this long.
Reply:He took a good guess you overly paranoid freak.
Probably pulled up google earth. Punched in Houston, and then looked for seawall areas. And kept his fingers crossed and guessed.
How bout, you've been talking to him for 10 months, call him on the phone for crying out loud and thank him profusely for caring enough to even TRY and send you flowers.
Yep, and could have just typed in your last name into the white pages and kept his fingers crossed. which is why he picked one out and said he hoped.
Reply:Well if you have your town posed anywhere else then im sure it would be pretty easy. People can do anything nowadays.
Reply:Don't let him know he got the city right for one. And if it's been 10 months and he won't send you a picture.....drop him...He's hiding for a reason. I don't know how he found you but someone I was talking to did something similar and I stopped talking to him. If you want him to know where you live you'd tell him. I would not talk to him anymore. If you are underage, tell you parents. It's better to admit to a mistake then not and end up dead.
Reply:it might be pure coninsidence. he may have remembered u saying u lived near houston and he decided to send to flowers to a shop there, hoping it would be close enough for you to pick them up. he doesnt know your house address so obviously he didnt do tht much investigating, if he had figured that out, then you should worry. so jst relax, this may jst be a nice guy who wanted to give you a happy birthday surprise. dont take it the wrong way
Reply:You need to tell someone like the authorities.Perverts can find someone by a simple screen name.If i was you i would call the cops. Block the person i don't care if you know him online well. people lie!

How successful have you been by using gay internet dating websites like "Gaydar" in meeting and dating guys?
On Gaydar I get fake names, wrong telephone numbers, guys promise to call and never do, i get stood up at cafes all over Sydney or guys lie about their age and post a photo of themselves that is 10 years old.
I want to hear about a HAPPY ending that resulted from using gay introduction internet sites......
How successful have you been by using gay internet dating websites like "Gaydar" in meeting and dating guys?
Can't give you any happy endings. When I was dating I had the same experiences as you. The borrowed photos or 20 year old photos were the most annoying. What's the point? Don't they think you'll notice if you ever meet up? And I seemed to have a knack of picking losers and wackos - including a kleptomaniac that stole the salt and pepper from the restaurant where we'd just eaten! He showed me his 'prize' in the parking lot. That was the end of the date.
I had much better luck getting involved in community programs, and local gay clubs. I actually met my partner through a gay square dance club (which is actually a lot of fun, and NOT like traditional square dancing - if anyone's interested in that, see http://www.iagsdc.org).
Good luck!
Reply:these sites are more for entertainment, trust me, I have gotten a good match in the five years I have web surfing. But have made a few friends that I can chat with, would that count as a happy ending?
Reply:I have not been very successful, maybe its because I'm straight
Reply:You wright some are still in the closet and internet is the only way oouttt.
But remember I still likes your lovely butt lol

Do guys fall in love whe internet dating?
I read an article which said that most male internet daters start to develop feelings for a girl after exchanging e-mails and phone conversations. Why do you think a guy would develop feelings for a girl based on a picture and in what she has to say over e-mail %26amp; phone conversations?
Do you believe this?
What is your opinion on this?
BTW: I’m a girls and read this in Cosmo.
Do guys fall in love whe internet dating?
I cannot answer for all guys, only myself and the guys I know.
Typically, we approach people we are attracted to. This is why we go to bars... and on the internet ask for pictures and etc...
Talking on the phone and e-mails are not really for most guys. The phone is for getting things done like calling the fire department and the cops.
E-mail is for an introduction to get a date to go out and do things. Most pictures of the women are phoney ones any ways... or 50 lbs. lighter than the person sending the picture(s). Typically, we guys are told, "Oh, that was me back in 7th grade, high school or whenever.
Then, we see if the girls are who they say they are and if we can relate to them... if we are still attracked to the real person.
If we cannot connect, and are not compatable we leave. If we do not "connect" by the third date, it is over. If the girl never pays it is also over. Now a days, we believe that equal rights means equal responsibilities and commitment. Too many women/girls make a game of it and want to lead us on to as many freebies as they can get...
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Reply:AM not sure what you mean by falling in love over internet dating issues? Sexy, programming or the content therein, or member of the site you fall in likes with. Either way, its best to be yourself and open as you would otherwise be. Two tricks played over internet is that it all ends in 'who is fooling who' and both look extrmely ugly in the end..best to be ugly than being stupid and foolish huh? Just be yourself and don't forget the PC is supposed to be personal..sometimes it isn't..in thay way I mean..who's looking over who's shoulder?

Reply:i don´t thnink it´s possible, sometimes you feel something that is not love when someone says sweet things to you, everyone likes love words and feels special when listening at them, so i think that´s the thing
Reply:Yes, it is a fact because, alot of the times males and females alike are shallow at first glance of an unattractive male or female, but on the net you don't exactly get to see the person all the time until you have grown to know them.
Reply:I love this question! Thanks for posting it. I'm not a guy so I don't know, but a good follow up question to this one would be "so you've fallen in love online"....can you "fall out of love" once you actually meet that person?
Reply:Well I am a guy and I did fall in love on the internet. The girl that I fell in love with has torn my heart apart. She says that it was because of the distance but I think she was playing games with me for the past year. I developed feelings for her because she was the first to say those 3 magic words, "I love you". We also did a lot of web camming. It got to the point that I stopped doing certain things that I enjoyed such as going to topless bars with my friends or even flirting with girls that I could actually touch because I was in love. Then she dumped me. My advice to any guy out there is, DO NOT FALL IN LOVE ONLINE. You are setting yourself up for a major let down!!!
Reply:It isn' falling in love.. I think it is more like falling in horny with them. *Note* I have never done that but it is my opinion.
Reply:yes dear.. guys do fall in love wid chats phone calls and email only.. we sometime underestimate dem... dey hav soft heart n bunch of feelings waiting to b explored.. its not that they only look for beauty of outer side.. dey also go for inner soul.. via mails n all they come to know bout how the person is.. and eventually fall in love wid d girl.. mostly if d girl is caring understanding and good listener

What's your opinion on Online/Internet dating? Do you think I should do it?
You see commercials on TV like eharmony and other Online dating services about success stories than you used to hear about horror stories. Have anyone done it and find love? Or was it bad? Do you advise me to go for it and keep looking elsewhere?
What's your opinion on Online/Internet dating? Do you think I should do it?
Online dating isn't for everyone. I met my boyfriend in an online chatroom over a year ago. We both hit it off and are still together. I think that if you meet someone and there is something between the two of you.. then go for it. You won't know until you try.
Reply:Go for it just be careful. Looking else where is also an good idea. You never know when love will hit. I met my wife on a blind date and five months later we were married. That was almost 25 years ago.
Reply:I am currently very much in love with a man I meet on line.. we meet through aim and we have been talking and getting to know each other for over a year now. I think you have to put trust not only on the other person on line but into yourself as well.trust your first instinct, but all in all go for it and have fun...
Reply:hey i found my current Bf on the internet and we didnt see each other for 2 weeks then we finally met up and we really liked each other and now in 6 years we plan on us getting married
Reply:I have used match.com and I have dated about 3-4 different guys. I dated one guy on there for about two months . After we dated for two months he told me his ex girlfriend came back to him and he could not date me anymore. We just became friends after that. I dated anothet guy after that and we did not have anything in common so I never called him back and I blocked him from emailing me. I have a current man I am dating and it seems like it is going pretty well. My advice is you can try different on-line dating sights . You put your profile on there for difeerent men to see and match .com sens you there profile and you make the choice. Sometimes you get the profile of some one that has looked at your profile and you have the choice to email them or to continue talking to them if you feel like you have a connection. My suugestion is to look at there profile and see how much you both connect. You need to be careful because sometimes they have a tendacy to lie. If it does not work out at least you will get afree movie or a dinner. Good luck if you try this.
Reply:I think you shouldn't do that! I think that you should date someone because you like their personality and you know them and can really talk to someone on the internet everything that goes on could be a lie!

Assume anything good you hear a potentially true, but not necessarily
A hard part is writing a detailed profile of 1%26gt; what you're really like and what's day to day life like for you (as opposed to liking a beach vacation once every 2 years and what you like to do there) and 2%26gt; what you're looking for in a person. If might take months of tweaking to get it right, especially if people give your feedback or have a misunderstanding. Realize some guys wink at every female or send a form letter. Some women are too timid to go out searching and winking and expect someone to come find them; this isn't necessarily a good plan.
I've heard bad feedback about the quality of people on date.com, which lets you join for free.
I don't like how eharmony slowly walks you into a friendship where, on step 5, the person finally releases their picture and you find that you've been wasting a week just to get to nothing. Plus, the smallest diameter mileage was 25 or 30 miles and that isn't small enough for the DC area, due to traffic patterns making dating on the other side of the area quite difficult.
Reply:Go for it. I met the love of my life on line. Just be careful. Don't rush into things and REALLY get to know them. Talk to them on the phone a lot and when you do meet, meet in a public place. It can work. I have been happily married now for 10 years.
Reply:eHarmony is pretty good. It asks you BUNCH of questions (like 1 hour survey) but it matches you with people that really match with you.
The key? You have to be 'brutally honest' with your questions if you want to find a great match. The good think is you start by chatting trough email (internally on eHarmony) and if you don't want to talk to this person anymore, you just take him/her out of the list and this person won't bother you again!
My friend used eHarmony and she found 3 guys that were really nice. This is the most 'serious' dating site in my opinion.
Good Luck!

Ratio of men to women on Internet dating sites?
Do you think its true that on Internet personals sites women have a big advantage in actually meeting a good partner compared to men? Isn't there like 2, 3, 4 times as many men to women browsing these sites and sending messages to the opposite sex? Why do you think that is? And if this is true, this allows very average and plain women to be overvalued in the market? More so than in real life? Agree or disagree...
Ratio of men to women on Internet dating sites?
8 out of 10 men.more men sending messages because it is less damaging to the ego to be rejected online than in person.plus it is more intimidating to talk to a hot woman that you see offline in a public place.talking online first allows the man to know what the woman thinks of him first so he can respond accordingly and not bruise his ego that much.for example:if he asks her what she thinks of his picture and she says that he looks "ok" then he'll tell her that she looks "ok" too, so he won't stroke her ego that much and look foolish because she isn't that into him.in person, the guy doesn't have much time to think about his responses and is likely to say something that'll offend the hot woman and turn her off.internet dating can be shady though.I'd rather see the goods up close and personal %26amp; decide right then and there whether or not I'll pursue the person further, instead of possibly wasting time talking to someone with a fake picture or fake persona lol men and women can be whoever they want to be online and say that they're a doctor or alter some of their preferences or whatever that they think appeals to the person that they're interested in.internet dating could work but there are also horror stories of meeting psychos.I've browsed those sites and most of the men %26amp; women seem shady.I wouldn't count on meeting a good partner online but for other people, it could be possible.men outnumber women so women have more options.I think some men are getting frustrated and will just settle for an average looking female that can cook and some women will settle for an average joe with a great sense of humor.
Reply:I disagree, I think there is more women than men online, and that there is a better chance to find a good women than a men with good intentions.
Reply:Personally I think it would be equal....HOWEVER, woman are typically more choosy about who they are gonna contact....
Reply:where to start, i agree woman do holda strong advantage but ( for instance skype) men go on there and show there bits and woman just watch and most likely laugh at them, but a woman may show her bits but can choose who she wants, thats how me and my partner met and god knows why she choose me out of all the others, but thankfully she did, so really yes woman do have more advantage than men, men are the type to one night stand and i bet a lot of woman do go with them for one night stands but they know which guy is genuine and which guy is not, so they choose the right one, where as a lot of men decide that a one night is enough for them so there really aint much choice for them, and ill go back to W.A times when they first opened up and women burning bras, they have a lot of independence now, which is good, but it means now they can flaunt and they know there in charge, as a woman can go months without sex but a man cant, good luck with your right answer
Reply:probably true, but the men are on there cos ther sad, the women are there cos therye lonely
Reply:All I know is is that the internet ruined dating... I gave up before I even began lol.
You can't even ask a girl for her phone number any more, you have to ask for her 'E-mail'... That and you now have to compete with the girls internet guy friends as well that she wants to go fly out and see.
Blew it all away.
So me not liking internet dating, I agree 100%.
Ratio of men to women on Internet dating sites?
8 out of 10 men.more men sending messages because it is less damaging to the ego to be rejected online than in person.plus it is more intimidating to talk to a hot woman that you see offline in a public place.talking online first allows the man to know what the woman thinks of him first so he can respond accordingly and not bruise his ego that much.for example:if he asks her what she thinks of his picture and she says that he looks "ok" then he'll tell her that she looks "ok" too, so he won't stroke her ego that much and look foolish because she isn't that into him.in person, the guy doesn't have much time to think about his responses and is likely to say something that'll offend the hot woman and turn her off.internet dating can be shady though.I'd rather see the goods up close and personal %26amp; decide right then and there whether or not I'll pursue the person further, instead of possibly wasting time talking to someone with a fake picture or fake persona lol men and women can be whoever they want to be online and say that they're a doctor or alter some of their preferences or whatever that they think appeals to the person that they're interested in.internet dating could work but there are also horror stories of meeting psychos.I've browsed those sites and most of the men %26amp; women seem shady.I wouldn't count on meeting a good partner online but for other people, it could be possible.men outnumber women so women have more options.I think some men are getting frustrated and will just settle for an average looking female that can cook and some women will settle for an average joe with a great sense of humor.

Anyone have any good ending to internet dating?
to meet on the net and get together in person. not dating through chat rooms.
Anyone have any good ending to internet dating?
Yes, I actually met my wife through an online dating service. I would say that's a good ending.

"dont start one to being with" ?? I think you're missing some words there.
Reply:I met my lady 10 months ago on the net and when we eventually met it was love in a second for both of us.We sent pics and things but the meeting in person the first time was a bit scary,but we set it up so that there was no danger to either of us and since then we have a long distant love life.The thing we really did good was to be truthful about ourselves and there was no surprises.Dont be scared to get into one because it started on the net.
Reply:Yes. I met my boyfriend on the net. We now live together and it's great. I know of other successful relationships that were due to the Internet. Just make sure that when you meet for the first time that it is in a public place and that you have your own transportation to and from the meeting. Remember there are some weirdos out there.
Reply:I have met my fiance on the net and we are getting married in sept. of this year. he accepts both my children from previous marriage. he is the best. I couldnt ask for more. We met off of singlesnet. yes sometimes internet dating is an awesome outcome.

What do you guys think of internet dating?
What, they see your picture an immediately before having even talked to you properly they go "I need you to go out with me!" What would it achieve, going out with them. Y'might very well be gorgeous but let's be honest, y'can hardly have an intimate relationship with these guys. "Oh I'm poking your hard drive, can you feel it?"

What do you think about internet dating?
I'm a member of a online dating website but i'm not sure if it really is safe and wise to meet guys online
What do you think about internet dating?
Well, I was in a relationship with a guy for several years and i met him online we never met in person until a few years or so into the relationship....
i'd say be very wary because there are some sickos out there who use the internet dating forums and ...
take it slowly. get to really know him. i'm def a fan of online cuz you get to connect to the person mentally and emotionally a lot better w/out the physical in the way...
take it slow and when u do meet at first take precautions and meet in a public place let people know where u are and who you are with
if anything take someone with you to meet him and then have them leave after a little while if ur comfy being alone with him.
Reply:Rule one, be safe. Think of the worst that could happen and think of ways of preventing it....simple things, public places, tell a friend, keep copies of emails etc.
Rule two, get as much info about the person as you need....pics are a deffo.
Is it wise? Hell no, but that's a good reason for doing it!
Reply:i have been involved with a number of dating agencies on line, some are good and some are bad. i have also met a couple of men from the good sights. you have to go into it with a open mind and dont take someone at face value, chat alot first and try to read between the lines. with practice you'll soon know who is being genuine and who isnt. when you are absolutely sure you want to met then tell someone where you are going and what you are doing. leave the persons contact details at home where they could be found if need be. hopefully though you will met someone who is nice and honest.
good luck and enjoy
Reply:fun you can bemore open!
Reply:I met my current partner online, no exageration, but he's the best thing that has happened to me in a while!!!
I think the secret is being cautious at first, take it slow and get talking before you meet up!!!
before we met, we had spent approximately 20 hours on the phone!!!
Reply:fun and useful,but when ask for the other part to send u pics, ask not only for the front and back side, but the lateral side to0!
Reply:If you find someone you want to meet arrange to meet somewhere public and do not swap personal details like phone number or address before you have met in person.
I dated a guy I met online but found that because we met on a dating site there was a pressure there to be serious.
Do it, have fun but be honest about you want from it.
Good luck.
Reply:I never tried it, I must admit. But in our everyday lives there are so many people around us... So many chances for us to find love... Like generations and generations did in the past... Why should we not do the same?
Life is too short for us to live it virtually. More likely to get hurt if you meet people face to face? Yes. But it would still be better than not feeling anything at all.
Reply:5 years ago, I went 5000 miles on a blind date..and married the girl I met on Yahoo.
Be careful though, there's a lot of perverts out there. if you plan to meet someone, take a mate and meet somewhere public thats busy.

What do you think about internet dating?
i honestly have been scared to death by some people. i've had only disappointments so far with dating online. people simply are not who they say they are. what do you think? is there still hope for me?
What do you think about internet dating?
yaa there is still hope for if u date real people by meeting them not on line that they can lie to you and break your heart later after playing with it so be careful and go out o party's or public places and get to know people more dear.
Reply:Online dating can make you become jaded. I feel your pain, I've been on so many dates with "NOBODIES". They come off genuine, but turn sour so quickly. I'd say just keep on, don't go so many dates, and be more selective.
Reply:INTERNET DATING ? It's an oxymoron. There is no such thing. The word dating contemplates that 2 people will get together. Somehow others have added the word internet to the front of it, but the meaning doesn't change. YOU CAN'T DATE OVER THE INTERNET. You can contact, learn some facts, but dating is about social interaction IN PERSON.
Good Luck
Reply:I'm not sure what sites you are using, but I met my husband on Yahoo Personals. I had a wonderful experience w/ it, as did he. He went on about 20 dates and I only had dated four people from it before we met. I recommend it b/c you are practically guaranteed a date every week where you won't have to pay! Don't waste too much time emailing, though. Use the Internet as a forum for an initial meeting and then set up an "in person" date. Of course always tell someone like a friend or family member where you're going, have your cell phone, and drive to meet them there on your own for the very first date. Good luck!
Reply:Don't do it, it's just not right!
Reply:Internet dating is hopeless because you have no idea who you are really talking to. Don't waste anymore time with internet dating.
Reply:i think internet datin is hopeless for everyone, cuz the person u are talking to, could say hes a man in his 20's and might really be a woman in her 30's

What do you think about internet dating?
I met this guy named Dominic, in a non-dating site. he's an Australian guy and we're really good friends now... i think we're falling for each other.... do you think it's ok if ever we decide to have a relationship?
What do you think about internet dating?
long distance relationships are very different from local ones.
It's easier to say the right thing when you have time to think about your reply. Also you can't see if they have irritating habits like picking their nose and flicking snot balls at the cat....which is as good a target as any but objectionable nonetheless.
There's nothing wrong with having a relationship via the web. Finding genuine love can be difficult in the real world and there's no reason to cut off an avenue like the Internet as your soul mate may be at the other side of the world..........BUT!
There are a lot of psycho oddballs out there so just be careful he isn't a cannibal or serial killer etc.
Reply:that is entirely up to you, hun.
i personally dont believe internet dating is a good idea..
Reply:Well its really up to you i would say just be careful and what not. It isn't always a bad thing. I met my current boyfriend of 3 yrs online and we're still together :)
Good luck
Reply:Go ahead - it's your life.
I personally am okay with it, provided you weren't going looking for it.
Looking for it, honestly, I'm convinced it's not going to be real love or something that could become real love.
Reply:Keep safe and that's about it, have fun if you two are a good fit.
Reply:Hey,
Considering hes from Australia? (or is he just australian living where you live) It may be hard to keep a relationship. When i met my boyfriend on the internet, we were on a social website like myspace called faceparty.com and we were just friends. We fell for each other and then met up! He lived an hour and a half away by bus, and we met every week for the first 5 months over the summer. Then he went to University 4 hours drive away and it was really really hard, it still is, but he has nearly finished now. We see each other every other weekend or every 3rd weekend, and to be honest, i miss him like hell but it is good for us, after this we can say we can survive a long distance relationship!
Its our 3 year anniversary next month on the 11th! And i love him to bits, its not even the butterfly kind!
I say if you want something enough then youl do anything for it! But i warn you, you cant guess his feelings, only when your sure he lieks you back can you make a move!
Good luck!

What do you think of internet dating?
Do you think it is possible to meet and truly fall in love with someone far away on the internet? Is marriage an option? If you cannot meet face to face before marriage, would you still go through with it because your gut and your heart say to? I am in similar situation. I know what I am doing. I am just curious about others.
What do you think of internet dating?
It's very possible. There's lots of people that have found someone over the internet. I really believe you should meet up though before you get engaged over the internet. When you talk to someone over the internet, you're only talking to their personality and soul. When it's face to face, you're talking to their body and image as well. You know this person's inside, but you have yet to know their outside. I don't mean what they look like because you most likely do know, but what it's like to be and live with them. Ya know?
Reply:i do believe in meeting someone over the internet and to fall in love....i myself have fell in loved with this guy over the internet...we talked on the phone also...but i would schedule to meet him before marrying him but your heart is what you listen to so go from there good luck
Reply:I am extremely jaded in this area. I've been online since before the world wide web was the world wide web. It was understood then, and still seems to be now, that everyone lies. There is no way of knowing if the person you are chatting with is for real or telling you what you want to hear or what will make them seem interesting. Sure, I will chat with people online. But I only take it with a grain of salt. The only people I trust online are the one's I've known in person first.

Its no more dangerous that dating in real life, its just easier to hide who you are online.
I met my boyfriend online (just by chatting on a music forum) and he is who he says he is. Unless he has been fooling me for 2 years, haha.

Reply:Online dating is no safer or more dangerous than any other form of dating. It does allow people to hide their true identities a little longer, but anyone using a little common sense and caution can avoid most of the serious dangers of online dating.
You can meet many good and honest people online - they just may not be an ideal or suitable mate for you.
Reply:It's rare to find someone honest and good period, not just on the internet.
You usually can tell though if someone is pretendingt o be someone they're not even on line. Especially on here coz it isn't a dating site.
You can scroll through Q%26amp;A's and even if they don't ask any Questions it tells you something about that person. (usually that they already think they know everything). You can also see by looking at their contacts i.e. who they hang out with. just like in real life.
There language can give away where their from, their mood, theri state of mind.
You can also look for congruence. Congruence is consistency.
Sometimes it is a feeling. You don't know what it is exactly but you just get a feeling that all is not as it seems.
The problem with dating is that some ppl who come on line looking for a date are desperate enough to stop 'listening' to their own common sense and intuition, and start taking silly risks.
You would have to know someone very well before ever agreeing to meet with them, and then you would be wise to arrange to meet in a public place, with friends if possible.
Reply:The only difference between Internet dating and any other form of meeting people is the physical appearance which over the net can be hidden but in a face to face meeting can't.
If you meet someone in a pub club or anywhere they can give you a load of waffle as to their job, where they live, marital status, hobbies, sexual preferences, even age but given time care and a certain amount of experience in life most people can tell when a person is lying, and those that get caught out and most of us have at some time fallen for or fancied someone who wasn't what they seemed, as long as that person doesn't rush into a long term commitment then the truth will come out eventually.
Reply:That s terrible a lesson to be learnt Be careful out there
Reply:The main danger of the internet is that anybody can be pretend to be something they are not. That is why everyone should be very guarded about what personal information they put out about themselves. Obviously, there are honest and good people, but its a lottery isnt it?
Reply:There are many beautiful people on the Internet.
I am here for one.
But I would not meet up with anyone I met on the net, it is just too plain dangerous.
Reply:I would say it's hard to find someone good on the internet. Men always lie and say they are single.
Reply:It's very impersonal %26amp; can cloud your judgement.I don't think you can beat talking to someone face to face to suss them out.On here people can be who they wat to and mislead you.I think you'd be very lucky to find the genuine article on dating sites.
question:is it rare to find someone honest and good?or is it common or just a chance?

What are you views on Internet dating, and some of the xrated sites and photos on them?
I just happened to find one by mistake when I was doing some research and my keyword took me somewhere completely unexpected. Anyway does anyone use the internet to find someone else and why are there so many graphic sites. Do you think its like a cattle market?
What are you views on Internet dating, and some of the xrated sites and photos on them?
Ohhhhhh yes, there's some scary stuff out there !
Whilst researching celtic and pagan rituals I clicked on a link....my jaw hit the ground
I needed re-constructive surgery
(how can people do that -defies grafity, even imagination)
In answer to the second part of your question, NO, I like meeting people face to face - that is the only time you can read their eyes - windows to the soul
Reply:What's wrong with bring people together by the internet? It increases your chances of finding someone you really like.
by the way, how many graphic sites are there since you seem to have been to every one.
Reply:wut r u asking?
i wasnt sure, but r u asking my opinion about internet dating, well if that is ur question, i think internet dating is great. my dad tried eharmony and right now he has a girlfriend from it. so eharmony is a great thing.

Meeting a guy from an internet dating site.?
I actually need to be assured if this is a good meeting plan or not.
I met this guy in an internet site. I am a bit serious so after a few e-mails I told him I would like to meet him in person rather than IM to a strange web page profile and investing my feelings and interests in something it might not work when we meet in person. He agreed without hesitation.
As we were both students in the same university I thought it will be better to arrange it in the university's cafeteria, around midday (when it is full of people) and 2 hours before my next class so that I don't spend TOO much time with him. I also thought to tell to my friend Adam (he also attends the same class) to either pick me up or call me if I am late in class (something that will be unusual anyway for me). Does that seem good or will I appear paranoid the guy I am meeting? Also if you have any tips on what information I should not answer and stuff please do not hesitate to mention. Any advice is good to me.
Meeting a guy from an internet dating site.?
I think meeting in the afternoon in the school cafeteria is a great idea. I would not put so much stress on worrying that he is a nut or killer. Many people date and even marry someone they meet on line. I would have your friend call you before your class starts so you have an exit but don't have him show up.
I think you will be fine, good luck. Remember he might be as nervous as you are.
Reply:I think your plan is great. Its safe and full of people just incase something went wrong.
Best of luck!!
Reply:Don't be too paranoid! There are thousands of people that are meeting online. The chances of things going wrong are slim. You're doing the right thing in meeting in a public place. Relax and enjoy :)
I know lots of people that meet folks on match.com and what not. They've never had a problem. Just use your common sense.
Reply:thats a good plan,
you are in a crowded place and some one knows whats going on if you dont come to class
perfect plan!
Reply:I have gone on 3 dates with men from an Internet site...and I'm still alive, had some good experiences, and believe I was smart about it. You do sound a bit paranoid but that's better than not taking some precaution. I currently am in serious love with someone I was matched with on e.harmony so...go for it...there's a reason you signed up for this deal...now go for it! I don't think you should fale some emergency with your friend calling...that's really freaking obvious. Just handle it on your own and tell him, when it's time, you have to go.
Reply:well meeting someone online isn't a good thing in the first place.. they could be someone posing as a student.. but my friend met her boyfriend of 3 yrs now online n they are happy.. so really be careful either way because you really don't know them as well.. have a friend always know about what's going on when meeting someone online.
Reply:that is a pretty good plan.. just get to know him a little more before u tell him anything really personal. but in case u really hate him right when u first meet him... make sure your friend calls you about 20 minutes in. If the date is going well just be like okay blahblahblah bye. but if it is going bad then say omg ill be there right away (it is an emergency) and you have to go!
Reply:All I can say is that I met my long term girlfriend on the internet %26amp; it's the best thing I ever did. Take a chance and seize the day.
Reply:I think you made a very smart plan. Good Luck!!

NEED A WOMANS VIEW IN INTERNET DATING...men too?
ok, as of last week i have giving up on myspace....that **** has messed up my relationship with my newly named ex......but anyway, i just made me a profile on blackplanet.com.....and there are so many guys that are looking for love....well anyways i was browsing throuh the list of people who were online and i came across this guys page. After looking on it i kept searching through more profile....alittle bit later he Aim me and we started talking, We have been talking for a few days now and i think i like him ...as a person or maybe more... he gave me his number to call but i never called..........what i want to know is if there is something wrong with meeting someone over the internet?
I found out that he goes to the same college as me and everything............................so please don't say be careful cause i know what's up with stockers......
NEED A WOMANS VIEW IN INTERNET DATING...men too?
There's nothing wrong with meeting someone over the internet in and of itself. I met my current boyfriend online, and he is a terrific guy. Being someone who doesn't know a lot of people locally and not into the bar scene, it was a good way to get to know someone a little bit first before deciding whether i wanted to meet him.
obviously you need to be careful... not everyone represents themselves honestly online. if you decide to call him, block your number from showing up on his caller ID or use a public phone. if that goes well and you decide to meet, do it in a public place. Avoid giving out personal info until you feel completely comfortable.
There ARE good guy to be found online - good luck!
Reply:internet combines ay people at a click of a mouse but it has got some shorcomings too.
u never know when u get caught in wrong hands
and also its not the internet which is responsible
every 2 people out of 5 are just making it wrong.
so one must be alert to go beyond its reaches
just stay here on net and just find out with passage of time qwhat is real and what not
need time to know the genuinity of relations being progressed from here onwards
take care
Reply:I feel like the men on the sites are just trying to get some and aren't really serious. Plus some of them may even be married or in other relationships.
Reply:i dont see anything wrong with it I have met a lot of cool people from online in fact that is where I met my husband and we have been together for 7 years now.
Reply:I've met a few people on the Internet. Why do people have such a hang up about this? You meet the same people on-line that you would meet at a club, or at the mall.
Just meet in a public place the first time that you see each other; that way he doesn't know where you live if you decide that you do not like him.
