Online dating? people really do that?

I've seen and heard many about it, from myspace to etc, i just don't get how people date online.. i mean it's dangerous too very dangerous, i mean it's cool meeting musicians, or hiring people to work, but dating sounds strange to me, what do you all think?

Online dating? people really do that?
too dangerous, you must be blind. how is meeting someone at a bar or at a club any different. shoot, you don't even know who your neighbors truly are. you need to wake up to reality and step out of your norm! the world is full of dangerous people, even before the internet was available to the public...
Reply:I think its stupid, unsafe, and "loserish" (for lack of a better word).





Its sad that some people consider a bunch of electronic messages to be a form of dating.





And people promoting it give children the wrong idea. A lot of kids get hurt somehow (kidnapped, raped) because of some lonely old man pretending to be 13.





I know its the kids/parents fault for being on the internet for that purpose, but kids follow what we do and if its discouraged or frowned upon we can lessen the numbers. Kids usually only do what they believe is cool.
Reply:yeah no kidding, i also noticed its like 90% male and 5% female, and who knows whats up with that other 5%

Reply:ughh..


i know some people who have dated online.


she had a online bf and dated , they comunicated through myspace phone, webcam, and instand msgs.


they really loved each other.


after a year they decided to meet each other.


they have arguments a lot, but i guess you can still love someone from online.





to me, i think its not that good because you dont know what theyre doing when they arent talking to you on aim, myspace or whatever. they can be just flirting with you online , but have another relationship in life
Reply:its dangerous. I would never do it. Probably meet stalkers or sex predators.
Reply:Me and my now fiance met on yahoo! pool in a game one day and talked for the whole weekend striaght. After that an I love you popped into one of our emails and the rest was history we talked online and over the phone for 11 months before finally meeting (she lived in Cali i was in Pa.) I moved out here a month and a half later and we are engaged to be married 07/12/09.
Reply:Yes it can be dangerous, that said in August will be my husband and mine 5 year anniversary. We met online. If this is something that you are considering I would suggest going through a dating website i.e. e-harmony. Background checks are done on all applicants through those types of programs. For me it was very successful, but yes there are many dangers to it also. Just be wise and cautious. My husband and I spoke on the phone for over a month before I would agree to meet him. Good luck if this is something that you are thinking about doing!!!
