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!
