Online dating... is that pathetic?

I don't want to admit it to anyone, but I'm just too shy to get a date. Is it kind of weak to use online dating?

Online dating... is that pathetic?
I don't think there's anything wrong with meeting someone online and then when you feel more comfortable talking to them meeting them in person as long as you are extremely carefull...there are a lot of nut jobs out there. Its definitly not pathetic.
Reply:if I were writing a college term paper using the term "a lot" would be inappropriate, but since I'm just writing to some guy who is curious about on line dating it is not necessary to be so grammatically uptight. Its "a lot" like political correctness...too much of it is annoying. Report It

Reply:Actually, No. Depending on the person. Since there are crazy people out there. But in my situation, i met a guy on line about 5 years ago. And to this day, we still talk. We are in a relationship, even tho i played hard to get. But his feelings for me over the years has never changed. His feelings actually grew when we first met. He told me he loves me and now we're planning a family together. So i don't look down on-line dating. You have to find that right person. You have to do what you have to do for YOU. Dont worry about what other people think. Good Luck!
Reply:No. Cause it is hard to find somebody as it is, and the best way to know somebody first is by talking to them
Reply:Kinda... well.. to some people it works. Keyword is some. But to me, I don't think you can send love through computer hardware. Everyone is different.
Reply:I don't consider it weak. And, by the looks of online dating's popularity, you'd be in good company!





Here is a place that reviews lots of dating websites. Many of the online dating services listed have consumer reviews, so you can read what others think of it. Pretty cool site.

Reply:I don't think so. I'm not one to go out into the bars etc and pick up people. I have met some great people with it. (I've also met some big losers). You just have to be selective. I think for anyone who is quiet or shy it's a great tool for starting out a relationship. You can talk thru emails or most have im systems on them. It helps you say alot of things you won't say in a first meeting (cause you are quiet), you get to know the person and when you do meet it's alot easier to talk. Just keep in mind some not all are online dating for a reason. Some are professional daters while others are really there to meet someone for a real relationship.
