Is internet dating! still weird and for weird,os?

No more weird than the phone date lines. You just never know who, or what, your going to end up with. This is true in any random meeting, introduced by friends, blind date, bar, coffee shop, grocery store, whatever. If one is going to try this I recommend go slow. Maybe coffee, if one tends to party, a bar with your friend close by. You still might get a crazy, a clinger or a stalker.


I bet these things don't happen as often as people would think, but the possibility is still there.


Be safe.

Is internet dating! still weird and for weird,os?
Not really. Million of people are using the internet to find their mates.





Just make sure you meet people in public places.
Reply:Desperate "go for it".


But nothing better than face to face


Bang- on the key board. will never replace the eye to eye contact.


But this could be the future??.
Reply:It really depends on you.





I met my significant other on the net, even I think it's a bit weird still. But if we did, we would have a very poor chance of meeting each other physically as we live 50 miles apart.
Reply:largly, yes...but you might get a jump out of it.
Reply:i thought it was weird at first but i have to admit i met my hubby on the net and i know for a fact both of us can get ppl w/o the internet..... i guess it all depends on the person....
Reply:no
Reply:Yes. There's no point. There's no physical contact. You don't see the "significant other" in person. It's dating a computer.
Reply:No not weird you might come across some weirdos but not every one you just have to be careful
Reply:Not really. It used to be a social stigma to look for love on the 'net, but as people get busier and busier professional lives and have less and less time for their social lives, internet dating is becoming increasingly popular.





Furthermore, internet dating exposes you to a much broader range and variety of people, so you can really find the right person for you (or at least try!)





Good luck!
Reply:Yes and yes.!!!


Lonely and Desperate maybe.!!!
Reply:Yeah i think so.
Reply:I think it is i mean its kinda creepy, what if you hook up with her and you have kids and they ask how did you meet what will you say. We met on Yahoo answers lol
Reply:no jus people who are desperate...i think secretly everyone wants to try it but doesnt want to seem desperate
Reply:It is if you tell people about it but it provides the anti-socialists with a social thing to do! So it's all cool, I dont care if you meet her at yahoo or at a club, you still got the girl =)


Is internet dating, tempting fate?

well if your talking about if it works or not, it does. my friend found a nice girl and they are inspetrable. they bought a house together too!

Is internet dating, tempting fate?
Leaving your house in the morning is tempting fate.
Reply:No. Fate has created interenet. Fate causes everything in the world to happen, it all has a reason.

Are internet dating agencies reliable?

I got mail from a Russian lady recently who claimed she was looking for a partner. After several mailings, i got the impression she wanted us to meet, but there's been silence since.

Are internet dating agencies reliable?
Be careful most are money pits that are not reliable and do not do what they tell you. In most cases they are not even ladies you are e-mailing or not the one you think you are.


If you are looking for someone overseas try a sight that is ran by a an agency that you can check out.
Reply:Some of them are ok. I met my fiancee through an internet dating agenecy. You just have to be careful and make sure you do your research


Do internet dating services work? or are they a swindle?

I found a site for dating that is 100% free. I know others who have used it and they like it.








Always be careful when meeting people you don't know.

Do internet dating services work? or are they a swindle?
I know two people they worked for. You just have to be super careful and cautious with them, just like you do anywhere--online or offline.
Reply:ya---as long as their truthful
Reply:yep. my moms friend got married and had a baby.

Do internet dating sites really work?

They seem to work for some people. You meet the same people on-line that you would meet at the mall. There are no more weirdos on-line than there are off-line.





I've meet a few friends on-line, and I've heard of other people getting married.





Make sure that you know what you want first, and communicate that clearly in your profile. And when you meet someone for the first time, do so in a public place like a coffee shop so that if you decide that you do not like each other, at least he doesn't know where you live.

Do internet dating sites really work?
yeah but don't try it
Reply:I'm not quite sure about some of those Internet dating sites. I have heard and seen that Eharmony is a good dating site. You might want to try it out. My boyfriend and I didn't meet on a dating site, but we did meet in a chat room. We have been together ever since!
Reply:It did for us! We met on "Yahoo Personals" 4 years ago.





We've been married a year and a half now, and just celebrated the birth of our son! :-)
Reply:I met my wife in "Yahoo! 30s love" chat three years ago and life is great! We were living 300+ miles apart and would never have met otherwise.


E-Harmony set me up for a date with the most boring (albeit pleasant and polite) woman I ever met, plus a couple of real nut-cases who never got past the phone stage.


E-Harmony should require two more things:


(1) A recent photo, e-mailed directly to E-Harmony by a reputable photographer and released late in the process BEFORE e-mail addresses and phone numbers are exchanged, and


(2) An IQ test, with no matches made more than 20 points apart.
Reply:It's as good a place to start as any when you want to meet someone, I think probably safer than picking up someone in a club.


Use your commonsense and trust your instincts.
Reply:I don't think so too many weirdos out there





i see the answers tell a diff story

Help, Tired of being single Internet dating is scary, has anyone had good exper. internet dating? Please share

What is your opinion and or experience. Also, any special tips you have let me know. I live in an area where the only social arena's are the few clubs we have here and that is tricky meeting people at the club. Truthfully alot of those men are married or not looking for long term (if u know what I mean). I attend church regularly but it is not easy to meet anyone there either since we are hearing the sermon then immediatly leaving. Unless of course I should be flirting during the sermon (whoa).

Help, Tired of being single Internet dating is scary, has anyone had good exper. internet dating? Please share
if that pic is of u u shouldnt have too much trouble gettin a date off the internet, just make it obvious u want one... haha i thought girls dint go with me bcause i was ugly or somethin but once i blurted out "WHY THE HELL CAN'T I GET A GIRLFRIEND!?!?!?" all the sudden i have em lined up... unfortunately i had to turn the line down because i couldnt date em all at once lol. so maybe u can do the same with guys "DATE ME DAMNIT!!!!" lol
Reply:I have never personally done the Internet "dating" thing, however I have met people in person (both male and female) who I originally got to know over the Internet.


Try to think of it as looking for friends rather than a relationship, that way there's no pressure on either side and if it develops into more then that's great.


Take along time to get to know someone over the Internet, many e-mails and if possible conversations over some IM software such as msn or yahoo.


If you do decide to meet someone make sure you do it in a very public place for the first time, like a a restaurant, if they have lied about anything obvious probably best not to meet them again.


Personally I have never had any bad experiences from meeting people over the Internet, but that might just be because I'm a guy. Just exercise caution and common sense, you should be fine.





Good Luck.
Reply:Okay we sound alot alike, i started dating this guy over the internet and it was the best time of my life and no one has ever treated that way....but it ended with my heart broken, he ended up leaving me for another women and i really hurt alot, girl dating over the computer is sooo hard, especailly to trust them but you know what i dont regret it! and we are still friends, so it depends, not all guys are the same but if you do, just keep your guard up and please dont rush things....and does your church have like fellowships or get togethers, or like groups of some sort for singles....cause i know that some churches do, but just keep your head up and the right will come along! But remember you will probably find a better man in a church than in a bar.....try going on a christian/or whatever you may be website for singles....Girl i know the feeling, cause I'm on the same boat!!! **** LUCK!!!!!!!!
Reply:I live in a big city, where there's a lot of possibilities. Dated a LOT of guys, but couldn't really find what i was looking for.


Funny thing, I got a my space account and met many different people, but this one guy was so fun that I couldn't resist to meet him.


We met at a public place a few times. After a month, I fell for him, we're now engaged and happier than ever. I'm not saying that you should stick to online relationships, but it sure helps ;)

Reply:Look at it this way: Internet dating is no more or less dangerous than meeting people in a club or at a party. You start talking to a person without knowing much about them, and take it from there. If you get a weird vibe - leave, and it's over. You have to exercise your common sense no matter where you meet people; often they put up a front, and might not be what they appear to be. This can happen whether you meet someone online or in real life - you still have to be on guard, analyze the situation, and look for the warning signs.





I'm not gonna say that online dating is an "easy" way to meet people (but then, what IS an "easy" way?) It has its setbacks. After my divorce, I spent four years meeting guys through the internet personals; this was the only way for me to meet compatible folks, as I am an unsocial person with very few friends, working for a very small company, and with interests like reading, history, science, videogames (ok, I'm a geek, I admit it! lol) Not at all the outdoorsy, hiking, biking, active adventurous type that my place of residense is famous for (So CAL). Most relationships I've found ended up not working out - but I kept telling myself, it only takes one. I met my future husband just over 2 years ago, within 3 months we were living together, and we got married 6 months ago. If it wasn't for the internet personals, our paths would never have crossed. His interests and his social reality are very similar to mine; we "clicked" immediately, and are very happy together. I would encourage you to give internet dating a try. If after you'd gone out on a few dates you still don't feel it's for you - then take your ad down, no harm done. But you will never know 'til you try. Meeting new people can be very challenging - however, the ultimate goal (finding someone compatible) is worth the challenge. Good luck.





P.S. Personally, I have never met a person online (either for friendship or for a relationship) who had obviously misrepresented themselves. To my knowledge, I have never met any serial killers, married guys posing as single, America's most wanted and the like. Most guys I went out with were just regular guys who were interested in a relationship, but with whom I either had no "chemistry" or we ended up not being compatible in some way. Just my personal experience.
Reply:I can say that internet dating has worked for me since I met my boyfriend online. I have been dating him for a year now and things couldn't be better. With internet dating you have to be careful and use your common sense when dealing with these men. Read between the lines of what they are telling you--if you don't feel like something is right, trust your instincts. Good luck.
Reply:Girl you better pray!!!! If you do it!!
Reply:I have had fair success with internet dating. Out of 9 guys, I liked 2 and had relationships and both are my friends to this day. You wont know until you take a chance.......be safe though. I always got a home AND a cell number, I never had anyone come to my house, always meeting them at a public place and I always gave my best friend their phone numbers too, just in case. Good luck.

Reply:Don't do it, everyone I know thats tried got screwed.
Reply:Try a personals on-line. Be sure %26amp; list "goes to church regularly" as a must on the profile you're looking for. I dated jerks for years after my divorce. I didn't think I would ever find anyone. As skeptical as I was about on-line dating, I tried it. After about a month, I met this wonderful man. I eventually felt comfortable enough giving him my e-mail address, then my phone number. He wanted to meet. I put him off for a while (people are crazy out there), but I had grown to know him so well through our conversations, why not. I made sure we met in a public place and several of my family members and friends knew when and where we were meeting. It has turned out to be the most fantastic thing that has ever happened to me. I am totally in love. The only problem in our otherwise perfect relationship is that we live about 3 hrs away from each other and it makes it kind of hard to see one another as much as we would like. So, go for it. Be careful. Be safe. Don't give out any personal information unless you feel totally comfortable and have a great time. You might just meet Mr. Right. Good luck %26amp; God bless.
Reply:I have to admit that I met my current (been dating a year now)b/f online. It was not easy as you say.. most are not what they claim to be. But it does happen. Have you tried one of the Christian dating sites? Most of them SHOULD be honest if on one of those. I choose not to disclose much about myself and let them ask what they felt was important to them and you can tell quite a bit from there what they are really after. I also believe that they should make the first moves as always. Make sure they can give you a number that you can call them at... one gave me his home number and his wife answered.
Reply:Are there any non-sermon church activities? Social things, fund raising events, classes, bible study, etc? Internet dating is both good and bad but it has been my experience that most of the guys are either married and looking to have an affair or just looking for a piece of tail, of which you are interested in neither.





I did meet one person thru the internet but we are just friends now. I have heard of some great success stories but I believe they are few and far between. I cancelled my membership and decided to put it in God's hands.......God clearly wants me to be alone for awhile ~ lol!!





I think when you are truly o.k. with yourself and really not hunting for a mate is when you are most likely to meet one. Not when you are all dressed up and looking hot - it's when your hair is in a pony and you look like crap searching for the perfect canteloupe in the produce dept. that you meet someone. That is God's little irony :-)
Reply:yes, u need to become member in yahoo group. or if you need paid one then go to some dting site . ok
Reply:IMO. internet dating is just like meeting someone off the street. People in general just lie. there are married men walking down the street everyday lying to women about being married.

Is internet dating safe?

I am 16 years old and I met this great guy on this website called espinthebottle.com We started emailing each other back and forth and than we started talking on the phone. 2 months ago,we became gf and bf...we've been trying to meet,but it hasn't happened yet. Now,he says this weeks he is coming down here to see me. I was so excited,but now that its' actually happened I am starting to feel a little nervous...any advice?

Is internet dating safe?
i don't think internet dating is very safe however some ppl would say different. you never know who that person really is and they could be playing games with you and then it all turns out bad.


However as you are already bf/gf and he's coming to meet you...make sure you meet him somewhere where there is alot of people around. if things go well and you want to invite him to your place, i would definitely have some friends come over too so you are not alone. don't trust anyone until you've personally known them for awhile and completey trust them, until then make sure someone is always around or at least let them know who you are out with and where you are going, etc. Better to be safe than sorry.


Good luck!
Reply:go with some friends and maybe a male friend and carry a cell phone.
Reply:First off, how old is this guy? And do you feel comfortable meeting with him by yourself? I would recommend you take someone with you (just to be safe). There are tons of pedophiles on the web that target young girls like you. Please make sure you take someone with you.
Reply:nervous...nah it's just adrenaline ....you have obviously gotten to know eachother quite a bit, once you get there it'll go smoothly and you'll feel more relaxed.
Reply:DONT. MEET. THAT. GUY.





If you want your life to be ruined, you can meet him if you want. Too many girls have fallen victim to this. Why don't you wait longer and talk to ur parents about this...
Reply:go see him.. but dont be alone..


bring somebody.. for a while.. and then


when you think 'ok' do a real date!!





gud luck!!
Reply:Until people have met and gone out (offline) together, they aren't dating. I have no issue with dating sites and people meeting that way before meeting offline to see if they 'click' as long as they use common sense and realize a lot of people online aren't who they pretend to be.





No, I don't think it wise for young people to use the net to meet strangers without their parents being 100% aware of the situation and all communication that is exchanged, and present if there ever is an offline meeting.
Reply:my best advice is to not do it. only because i've heard so many stories about perverts, molestors and rapists impersonate their kids, nefews and grandchildren to get young girls like you. Please be careful.
Reply:bring a whole bunch of girlfriends with you. you dont really know this guy. better be safe than sorry
Reply:make sure he is not over 18, and make sure your with some one you know when you meet him, just to be extra safe.
Reply:no dating is safe especially Internet dating.its like meeting a killer in the dark forest after he says I'm only gonna cut you a little.then he cuts your head off.oops that can and does happen all the time there are more crazy people then sane.why press your luck with creepy strangers.
Reply:you should never make a relationship commitment to someone you haven't met in person. by saying you are GF and BF, he now feels a sense of entitlement to you. you don't truly know a person until you meet face to face and have time to learn who they are. there is a huge amount of information you can learn about someone through non-verbal communication that will often times contradict what they are telling you.





do not meet this guy alone and only meet in a public place. you are still assuming you know this person but for all you know he could be a 45 year predator. the internet is about 90% molester/cheater/whore trash and young girls are the easiest prey.








make sure your parents know about this guy and in fact, have him come to your house and meet your parents. if he doesn't come, then he's probably been lying to you about himself or is some sort of predator. but seriously, don't meet this guy alone anywhere. if you have to, take some friends with you.
Reply:i think it's safe just not safe when you meet him cause he might be a lot older than you. you should go with a group of friends to meet him.
Reply:with how things are now and days, you'll want to be careful when you meet with him. you should be meeting him in a public place. in two months you became gf/bf, you may want to take it slower and see what happens when you meet. when i first met people online, i too was nervous and sometimes it doesn't click with that person and sometimes you end up with a friend for a long time. Either way, if you're careful how you meet and all, you'll be glad you did it. I met my now husband off of the internet 8 years ago last month and we are currently heading towards our 5th anniversary this year. GOOD LUCK and be safe!
Reply:say ur 18 he could be 30.


If you really wanna do this then..bring a friend.


I hate to see you on the news dead.
