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.
