Advice on online dating.....?

I am shy to ask a girl out face to face. And now I am considering online thing, atleast it feels somewhat easier and I can chit chat before I go for a date.


My question is how effective is online dating ?

Advice on online dating.....?
Do not do it....you never know who is on the other end!!!!
Reply:People lie about themselves all the time. I know this for a fact. I tried the online dating thing and the guy told me several lies. Nothing major that I know of but still lies. Just like the real world..lol.. Anyway, things didn't work out for us. It is so easy to talk to someone online. It is also easy to get feelings for them, because they are just as lonely as you and you both are giving each other so much attention. Just remember people do lie so what you fall for may not be true.
Reply:Internet + Dating = Disaster
Reply:.......it's excellent corz you can take your time to get to know them first.....Have an open mind and alway's use common sense, then you simply decide whether you like her enough to continue your friendship...Like any situation you will alway's come across dubious people, but if you use commonsense, combined with your instinct's, you should find it quite enjoyable on the internet chatline's.......
Reply:Go ahead- nothing wrong with it. For your (legal) safety always meet a woman in a VERY public place for awhile. I've chatted with a bunch of woman on-line. Two never showed up after traveling hundreds of miles to meet them, two I only met once and one lady twenty years older than me turned out to be a great friend (only). There's never that one fleeting, special moment where you either ask her out or walk away in shame on-line. When you're both comfortable one of you will ask Wanna meet sometime? No pressure or embarrassment if rejected.
Reply:Stay away from it. You never know who the other person is. Like now, I can be a guy in my mid 20's or a girl in my teens or an old man who likes to screw with you head. And, don't go by sending pics because i can google a pic of anyone.





You may be shy, but there lots of diffrent ways of getting around it. I reccommend www.meetup.com a *great* social web site. Check it out, and its FREE!
Reply:Don't do it , its not real, you can be very badly hurt
Reply:Online dating is a scam. You talk to somebody and it really is not them. I know somebody who tried online dating it turned out to be a disater when they meant. For instance she really wasn't who she said she was. This girl was spost to have a job, a decent home to live in. Also an average size women. Turned out to be a 6'3 feet tall women and weighting way more that what she said. So be careful with the online dating because you never know what you could end up with.
Reply:you will get over being very shy if you actually work on asking someone out in real life.
Reply:online dating is OK but i wouldn't get addicted to it.It really isn't that healthy and you never know what is on the other end.
Reply:my online relationships were just as affective as my "real life" relationships. my advice? make sure you know what the person looks like first before dating her. you dont want to be in love with someone and realize youre not physically attracted to the person.
Reply:Some you can go on free , but it's not a good idea , some pepole are lying of who they are , and there are weired pepole on online dateing , just go out there and be yourself .
Reply:Advice:


Be Careful


Don't give away personal information


Be Yourself
Reply:I don't think it's a good Idea...............but my sister acually married the guy she met online and he's a very respectful, lovable man........but I don't think it's a good idea because of all the rapes and criminals online
Reply:it's pretty effective...i know from experience, me and my boyfriend met online and we've been going out for 1yr and 4months.also one of my friends met her bf off the same sight she's the one who gave the sight to me ;) and they are getting married.... you just have to be careful about who you meet online, make sure that person says their who they say they are and meet in a public place never in private.
