Internet dating-what are your views on it?

i reckon its great, i chat to a man for ages b4 actually meeting him, so i know a bit about him, and if all seems ok, then i meet.





Lots of people say that u dont know if the men u meet online are liars, but cant the same be said of men that you meet in the pub etc?





Views will be appreciated!





Thankyou.

Internet dating-what are your views on it?
I'll let you know tomorrow - i am meeting someone for the first time that i got to know on a dating site. First time i've ever done this, good to know it went well for you. You are right, someone you meet in a pub is just as likely to be dodgy.
Reply:Have tried it and most men lie about their height and use a glamour shot so always a disappointment when meeting them. Also been to speeddating and between them didn't meet anyone. Met my man in a chat site though. So wasted all that money.

I've been fortunate that I met someone over the internet who I consider now a close female friend. OK, so we didn't end up dating or getting married or anything like that, but what I gained was the most loving and loyal female friend anyone could wish to have. We had talked for some months about meeting, but it wasn't until she was admitted to hospital that I took the chance to go and see her.





However, I would consider mine as being a rare success (of sorts) story. That said, there are liars out there, both male and female, so, be 100% sure you want to meet him. He might be what he sounds, but then again, he might not.





If you do decide to meet him, be careful, and I would advise that you DONT GO ALONE on any first meeting. Bring a friend or relative.





Good luck with whatever you decide.

Reply:Yeah Internet dating is creepy, but sometimes it works out for the best....Here are some tips to stay away from creepy people......1) Make sure yall are from the same state or city 2)make sure yall are the same age3)make sure this person is who they say they are, because when people pertend to be someone else thats when it is creepy......so ask for a picture, plenty of picture.......(if is really not them they wouldnt have alot of pictures....like ask for random pictures like I want "I wnat you to take a picture b the wall with a ballon lol or something random it works lol.....so thats the first sign of a creep....)








Just be smart and careful , but have fun
Reply:I've been struggling w/ this myself. I've come to the conclusion that if you are single and looking for love or fun or companionship then you should put your name out there in as many places as possible. Myspace, dating sites, and the bars, clubs etc.. If you look in more places you'll have a better chance. It's a numbers game.
Reply:I think that the internet is a great way to find people that interest you, but is not the place to 'build' relationships. We've become a society so reliant on technology, we start building superficial relationships with people far away and stop focusing on the people who really care for us.





That is true that in either circumstance men could lie but its much easier to lie when you can't see the person's face or hear their voice.


The internet is a great way to find people, but thats pretty much it, dating wise.
Reply:i would not ever want to date a guy over internet dating!! it's creepy!!!
Reply:Agreed It is how I met my man.
Reply:i'm a dude - and maybe because it's just who i am, i pretty much lay it out there who i am, and if they runaway screaming - at least i don't have to hear about it. but when someone searches and finds you, the conversation starts and you eventually exchange phone numbers - then you got something there. actually, that's how i met my current girlfriend - i was completely and brutally honest in my profile, and she was intrigued and we ended up chatting and talking for hours and hours into the wee hours of the morning. and when we met for the first time it was for hours that flew by like seconds... so it can be a good thing, and i'm probably a rare success story, but it can be a great thing - it just has to be taken cautiously. if i was a girl, i would take things with a grain of salt. i just happened to be a rare exception.
Reply:I think it's great, a lot of people are too shy to reveal their true selves on a first date so it's great that you can initially get to know them on line and then if/when you do meet them you have something to talk about!
Reply:Very dangerous
Reply:Its a 50 50, please be careful, there are some weirdo's out there, but on the other hand there are some genuine people


my friend met her boyfriend on the internet and 2 yrs later are still together.
