How do you feel about online dating?
I was curious how many people or what your opinion on online dating, i normally dont online date although my last three bf have been guys i meet online. I was just curious to know what your opinion is about it? Like how often do you think online relationships work out. Have you ever dated online. And your general opinion about. For me im for it.

As long as you have the chance to meet them more than once in a year, then it could work.

Hmm. I'm "dating" a girl right now. She's completely amazing in all aspects of life..I plan on going to see her next year in Sweden, which is going to be amazing. Its hard..but its possible. And if you really love the person. *looks at Salv* Sorry, then you should be alright.
Salv: Thats very true..I've weeded through what seems like my entire town, so I'm pretty much out of choices here xD |

I don't think I'd like to depend on online socializing - for any kind of relationship. I feel like humans need a physical interaction. Online dating and online friends don't really completely give what a human being needs. |

^haha ouch.
I've met a few girls online, and I've ended up meeting them in person and it usually works out for the best. They're never totally random people though, we've always had some mutual friends. |
I really prefer live dating than online cause were able to see each other. Thats 1of the problems with online dating. 1 good thing about dating online is that couples are match by their preference. You cant really trust the person your dating online. Words can be really strong. Someone can fall in love with the person they are chatting online without even seeing each other with photos,cam,etc. After falling in love, the next step that most ppl want to do is see how thier partner looks. Physical appearance can also be really strong, even stronger than words sometimes. You may have falt in love just with words, but after seeing how your partner looks, things can change big time.Your partner may not like how you look and hurt you by braking up, or vice versa. Some ppl dont care about physical appearance at all, and just with romantic words its all they need.

I used to be against trying that sort of thing (online dating), but at this point im willing to try anything lol.
|
I've never in my life thought of online dating until I met this guy(which I think most of you know who it is lol). I wouldn't go on to a dating site and look for someone to date, no. But me and Aaron started to talk like friends. Now, I've fallen in love with him. For sooo many reasons. He's planning on coming here to Sweden next year which I'm excited about. It is hard though, to have an online relationship, but I think it can work if they both love eachother.
And I do believe that the people would have to meet in real life aswell. Another important thing is trust. If it's going to work both people have to trust eachother. My point is, I do believe in online relationships. It's not something I would really do, but if it happens, it does. Then, if it works out, that's a whole other thing. I also think people should do what they wish to do. It's a risk they'll have to take. |

I think I have a different idea as to what online dating is...
I always thought it was the act of going online to find a date.... but the date happens in real life as opposed to "dating" online. |
I did it and i both enjoyed it, and got depression from it.
Were still kind of together but we only talk like once every month. |

I suppose it depends on the type of person you are as to whether it works or not. Personally I couldn't do online dating of either sort. I just don't have the ability to get attached to someone via words on a screen for a start. Nor do I find looking for a date in the same manner as looking for a job appealing (with regard to the matchmaker sites). |

I had a lot of online-only gfs when I was way younger. I had generally negative experiences with them in terms of heart-breaks.
While it's probably true that online-only or mainly online relationships could and do work out when the two people are mature and patient, I'd say it's always gonna be trickier than IRL/face to face relationships. When your emotions and stability is on the line, I don't think it's really a risk worth taking. Just use the internet to find people, but don't tie your heart up on a string for months/years waiting to meet them unless you're just friends. Again, not to deny people who've had success, just to point out the relative dangers from my POV. Relationships are very intimate and detailed, and having any kind of separation can create difficulties. |
Mmmm~ I'm not up for it. Sorry to say but I find the whole idea of dating sites and online partners... kind of seedy. I mean, not to offend anyone in one or who started a relationship like that, but I honestly can't see how it works. I have friends who I only know online, but to go further than that just seems irrational. I can't say I really know someone unless there's face-to-face contact, and even then real friendships and relationships take time and commitment.
So yeah, I'm sure for some people it works out beautifully, but i'd rather hedge my bets and stick to meeting actual people, rather than their online projections. |
Relationships without sex are pointless.

I'd never have a long distance relationship. |
my opinon about online dating would be its good sometimes and it can be an experience of a lifetime.
i've had a few online relationsships one actually lasted a year and a half but it couldnt work cause we rarley got to see each other all in all... once...heh its true that you dont know if the guy is psycho but usually there are ways to check...sometimes. you should definantly be in a place where you can meet the person IN PERSON that way you know everything for yourself for sure ^_^ and it definantly sucks when you have no personal contact with a person you really wanna be with |

And you don't have sex without knowing someone. I call that a sex partnership, not a real relationship. |

sometimes..but other times it actually helps NOT having sex that way they can be more focused on each other its also why couples go to counseling because of to much sex SEX ADDICTS!! XD |

You see, I don't want to have a relationship just to talk with a girl. If I get attracted by a girl, there is a lot of hormones involved in there... and having no sex is pointless if a lot of my attraction comes for that reason. Put it this way. If sex didn't exist, it would be a lot harder to get attracted to someone. Therefore it is necessary, and it just makes you like her more... no harm :mtongue: . |

thats not true just because sex is in someones mind doesnt mean that its a nessesity <---(or whatever) you shouldnt be attracted to someone just because they would be a good fuck in bed |

The way how a relationship works, is by balancing Communication, Sex and Love. If one is out of synch, then the relationship fails. After marriage and children, it divides into Communication, Sex, Love and the Children/Family. |

And no, relationship without sex is stupid. Sex is not a distraction. I'm dissapointed that you both think of sex so low. Unless you give sex to the next guy you meet, sex is the ultimate goal of your relationship... where two people have found that they are made of each other. I guess sex in a relationship is just a joke for you. What a shame. If you want sex, get some girl to get laid for a night, don't use full time relationships for it. |
