Do you think that internet dating is right?
Long distance dating is very hard, so you need to know from the get go if you are willing to move or if he is. I would say try and be friends, but most long distance relationships fail because you want to be with someone you can see and touch.
Reply:Sure!


If you feel the two of you can make it work, go for it.





To answer the question in your headline, I think it's fine.


It's a great way to broaden your search, and find out about people you would not, or could not otherwise. It's a way to 'see what's out there', and look at all the different fish in the sea, hehe.





Best of luck,

Reply:I dont think getting a bf on the internet is right but if its keeping in contact or getting to kno them again its ok.
Reply:probably hard to work out. keep in mind that he definitely has changed since 5th grade. but then again, no harm going. have fun[:
Reply:Truly, the only thing it does for me is help spend some time. I haven't been successful at it. I find that the guys are not really serious, they are just trying to spend some time. Most of them want Barbie dolls, and most of us are a size 14 (or more). I don't mean to be negative, but don't take it too seriously. It is not the answer to finding your "soul mate," but it does pass the time. I'm convinced the best way to meet someone is in person, so those who tell you to get out and do something are right. Go take walks at a park (in a public place). Sports? Golf, tennis court, poolside, beach, art gallery? If you are in the US, it is summertime. If you are on the computer, you will just gain weight, become stagnant, and meet guys (or girls) that are stagnant, too. Activity is much more beneficial. Good luck.





Oops, sorry. I did not answer your question. Yes, by all means. After all, you looked him up. It was not a coincidence. Have fun! I'll leave the above answer for those who are wondering about internet dating services.
Reply:Long distance dating is hard. But if you really like the guy go for it :)
Reply:Not if he's in a different STATE. :S That's just too much work.
Reply:call him up maybe go visit you never know until you get together and talk


sometimes long distance relationships make the heart grow fonder
Reply:Be resposible enough in making decisions in your life. It's a matter of choice, in what we believe and stand for it.
Reply:Are you both in America cos we dont have states in the UK.





You should look closer to home for a boyfriend. Long distance relationships are hard work and cost a to travel there and back!!!
Reply:yah it is alright
Reply:if u know him and like him go 4 it.otherwise never trust someone u've never met
Reply:what kind of date is that? if your going to do the out of state thing, why dont you give me a call?
Reply:Those are two questions so I'll take them one at a time.





Well, I hope it's right because I used it when I couldn't get a date and it was a relief to find people who actually wanted to date. Yes, of course it's fine, and it has advantages, like being able to learn about each other easily by reading each other's profiles.





No, you shouldn't go. If he asks you out, he should go to your state. Just my opinion of course.
Reply:I've just been to a wedding of two people who met on the internet. They're completely in love, and they managed a long (ish) distance relationship, until they were ready to move in together. I think, provided you know he's genuine, you should give it a go. We can't limit ourselves to what's convenient - if we only dated people in the close vicinity, we'd be restricting our experiences for no good reason! To not go because it's too far would be a waste - you looked him up for a reason, and you never know, it could be fate.


Good luck!
Reply:yeah but youv'e got to be really careful i know a lot op people say this but you can't see the person your chatting to they could turn out to be someone completely different
Reply:yes...why not....unless he is bad.
Reply:Internet dating is great. I met the guy of my dreams on there. U shuld go 4 it. good luck!! : )
Reply:Yes!!!!
Reply:Two parts to this answer. Internet dating as such is a way to meet up with people. No different to dropping round to a pub or club to meet people except on the internet you have a much wider range and to begin with you are anonymous. That of course brings the risk that someone you "meet" on the net is not all genuine and everybody should know that and take initial precautions for their own safety. If you do meet up with anybody, then you should not assume you have known them for ages just because you have chatted on the net but you should get to know them again "in real life". If all the chats were true and honest then this can go rather fast. As for developing and maintaining a long distance relationship, you have to ask yourself the question whether you would be prepared to relocate if things worked out or if you would expect the other person to relocate. Maintaining a long distance relationship without the prospect of ever being closer is very very difficult and I dont think that would class as a true close relationship.
Reply:yes, i met my bf ova the net by chance and he lives in another country. we see each other often and we're still going stron afta 4 yeras. :D


just give the guy a chance. :D
