Internet dating, yes or no?
no bad choice....my sister in laws sister talked to this guy for ike a year and stuff then all of a sudden he like turned o her and said he knew where sh lived and he was gonna come kill her and stuff.....and my sisters in laws cousin talked to this guy for a long time for years and she flew across the world to go see him in like england but he said he was out of town...she went back home and then he finally confessed after years that he was atually a she and that she didnt want to tell her....so the girl from enlgland flew up to america to start a relationship with my sister in laws cousin and she wasnt into that and told her she had to leave......those are some reasons that internet dating will not work
Reply:meet me at 4th and Main and I will tell you.
Reply:I suggest no-----cuz u never know who ur talking to --- I think its much much better in person--I think its ok to have friends over the internet but not dating.
Reply:There is nothing wrong with it as long as you are careful. You have a kid so it is important that your doubly careful with who you get involved with and bring into your life. Always make sure they don't know your last name, where you live, or your phone number. Go out with them several times before you give out this information and make sure any place you go it is public and your never completely alone. This may sound exteme but I've known several women who met guys online that ended up stalking them. They also met guys who were wonderful and some of them even resulted in long term relationships.
Reply:I've tried it...it SUCKS! :)


No seriously...it really does. It's not worth the effort. Especially since 99% of the guys in chat are perverts. Real men hang out at the library. :P Or the veggie department at the grocery store.
Reply:no
Reply:no,because internet guys might tell you a differnt age then what they are.
Reply:u dont say ur age- but yes u should be cautious of dating on the internet- too many weird guys out there.
Reply:No to many nuts out there. If you decide to do this always met some where with lots of other people never go in their car with them.
Reply:YES!





I have met and dated people from as close as my own town, to as far away as Austrailia. Some went well, others didn't. Some turned out to be one night stands, while others turned into relationships. But having fun is the KEY to success in the online dating world.





Just remember to use your head! I do it all the time and it's a blast when you take the right precautions. You can meet weirdos and creeps anywhere you go, and the net is no different. So before you go rushing to meet anyone you meet online, a personal ad, blind-date, or in a club, you should plan ahead.





These are Nando's rules for online dating...





1) Don't rely on just pictures, anyone can swipe cute pictures off the net amd claim it's them. Invest in a webcam and if they can't cam with you, then move on. (Cams are running for less than $20 at some stores so there is no excuse for not having one.) You should be able to see eachother live. Remember, you don't want him to be dissapointed in you anymore than you want to be dissapointed in him. So meet on cam before you meet in person.





2) Be sure to talk on the phone or internet phone at least a few times before meeting in person. Nothing beats getting to know someone than hearing their voice and their uncensored conversation to get a vibe of what they are about.





3) Always meet on neutral ground, public places are best. Never go to his home and NEVER invite him to yours. This gives you the option to end the date without being backed into a corner or giving up too much info about yourself. Also, don't invite him to meet you at any of your favorite spots either, he'll know where to stalk you if things don't work out. (Believe me, I still won't go back to one club because now she hangs out there.)





4) Meet at a halfway point! Don't go all the way to them, and don't let him go all the way to you. It doesn't matter if you live in the same town or different countries. If you live in California and he's in New York... Meet in Chicago or Dallas. Why? If you get face to face, and realise that they're just too creepy or feel too uncomfortable with the situation, you can say, "I'll be right back" then slip out the back door to head back home or go sightseeing. Now you've made the best of a bad situation. And remember, if they aren't willing to travel for you, then they aren't worth traveling for either.





5) Don't plan on sex or hold high expectations for when you meet (no matter how many times you've cybered together). If that "spark" isn't there when you are face to face, then someone's going to end up hurt. Plan on seperate accomidations. Remember, you won't be dealing with TEXT, Video, or Audio feeds anymore, it will be a person. Some people just don't click. But IF you DO hit it of together, you can adjust your plans accordingly.





6) Remember, people LIE. Whether on the net or at a club. He might not really be a "special forces op" who's on his way to the Gulf next week.





7) Use your brain and a condom!





8) DON'T send them ANY money!!! There are alot of scammers out there who'll say, "I really want to meet you, but I just don't have the money for a plane ticket, can you lend me the money?" Then in a few days you'll be waiting for someone who isn't going to show up and won't be paying back the money.





9) Don't be afraid to quit! Know when it's not going to work out. You've been talking for months... You finally met in person... You fell in love with him online and now he's here, in the flesh... But he's just not the same guy you thought he was. Especially if he starts to dump a heap of "love and attachment" on you, then starts making plans to move in with you right after meeting you.... ummmm.... NEXT! That's a big red flag there! The longer you take to let him go, the longer it will take to get rid of him.





10) Have confidence in yourself. There is nothing as sexy when you meet someone new than confidence. Also, confidence scares away alot of creeps.


More Confidence = More Fun





Now, go out there and take the net by storm! AND HAVE A GOOD TIME!

Reply:there are many pros and cons to internet dating. From my own personal experience, i would advise to ask a lot of questions, i wouldnt meet anyone who doesnt have a webcam (that way you can truly see who they are and what they look like). Always ask if they do drugs, have piercings, tatoos or the such if those things concern you. I wouldnt meet anyone until ive been talking to them for at least a month. This will eliminate a lot of potential pitfalls as you will know what to expect, what kind of person they are and what they look like.





I could tell you various funny anecdotes on my internet dating, but suffice it to say that yes it is possible to meet someone great from the internet. I met a very nice girls and we ended up being together for over 2 years. But i also met some terrible girls who had mental problems or were morbidly obese. so do your research ;) and yes there are good guys out there on the net, im one of them, i work out 5 times a week, i love swimming, reading and im a decent looking guy. some people will say that its dangerous to meet people from the internet but its no more dangerous than meeting someone anywhere else. After all it might even be safer because you get to know the person before you meet them.





you can always meet the person with a friend and also make sure you meet in a public place where there are a lot of people. That way you can be safe and if things dont work out you can leave. good luck!
Reply:yes, why not, but you need to be careful
Reply:no becuase there is probubly a ton of losers on there if they cant even find a date sumwhere and they might be a drugie or sumthin or the total oppisite of what u want i think that u want to find a hott guy and not sumthing off a computer that says hes cute because they say that about everyone!!!!!
Reply:It depends. Internet dating can be EXTREMLY dangerous. It has led to many rapes and murders. But, it has also led to many loveing marriages and familys. It's like a streak of luck...will yours run out?
Reply:no
Reply:Big yes, as long as you have common sense, its a great way to meet people (i know from personal experience)
