Is internet dating right or wrong?

My best friend has done this for years but I disagree with it

Is internet dating right or wrong?
Why do you disagree with it? It is just another medium to meet other people. True, you might have to be a little more careful, but if it works for your best friend..then thats fine.
Reply:its neither right nor wrong --- its what works for the individual --- if you dont want to do it then no one is forcing you if your friend likes it and she is being safe then good luck to her ---- have fun
Reply:There is nothing at all wrong with it...times have changed. I would rather meet someone online then someone completely slobbering drunk in a bar.


As long as someone is safe about it there is nothing wrong. Even in 'real world' dating you need to be safe.





I met my husband online 7 years ago - best man I ever met and we now have 3 kids together.





I think it is a great way to meet people and weed out the bullshit of the bar scene or those terrible blind dates or waiting hopelessly for some random meeting.





Ensure she is safe and support her/him. I love people who are proactive about what they want and they go out and get it..on thier terms.
Reply:I know a few friends whom met after being friends on-line for a yr or so, and even some who live literally 1/2 a world away and profess their love for each other. It was a scary thought yrs ago, but if your "older %26amp; more mature" I see nothing wrong with it. I only see a 'minor complication,'





Young high school age children/teenagers I'd prob. still feel uncomfortable hearing they are traveling to meet someone. They haven't had the life experiences to teach them enough to go out on their own to meet someone from the internet. Everyone you meet is not trustworthy. Young people are more vunerable to being put in bad situations by not thinking.





I'd still suggest having a friend or someone you know with you when the first few meeting take place.
