Transition the online this as soon as possible to either meeting or talking on the phone.





The person can be anything they want to be behind a keyboard. Make it more personal ASAP.





Ask for RECENT photos and go for it!





I met someone through a friend online but not through a dating site. We emailed for a bit, but it was especially our phone convos and then eventually meeting in person that really sealed it!





It does work. My brother and best friend met their spouses this way.





Good luck.
Reply:Well... I've always thought online dating was for people with STDs or something. Every case I've heard of has ended poorly, but that's only a few out of a million, so I could definitely be wrong.





But let's think about the idea of online dating as a whole: people marketing themselves to other people. So of course, some one may slip in some little white lies so they can be more attractive to the opposite sex. But the lying is what ultimately keeps them from having a healthy relationship with the other person. Even if you are truthful, the internet still makes a great facade for the other person to hide behind.





I think you should try to have some more confidence in yourself when it comes to women. And as long as "get together with" means "have a fun, meaningful relationship with" there are soooooo many women out there looking for a guy like you. Remember, single women can be found in more places than online dating sites, nightclubs and bars. Hit the park, or an art gallery, or the pool and go meet people in the flesh! Yes, it can be very intimidating, but I think it ultimately leads to a healthier relationship. I met the love of my life at an audition. We were both doing something we enjoy, so we had something in common right off the bat.





But if you're really curious, give it a shot - but just don't think the first person they match you up with has to be your soul mate.





Have fun either way, and I hope you find the perfect woman for you!

i met my bf online and we have been together 2 months. we had both met a few other people before we met eachother. so if you do try it, and the first few turn out bad, keep trying. cuz you never know who you might find next.
Reply:My only advice about online dating is don't do it. You never know what psycos are on the internet looking for someone to kill or latch onto. You need to meet people face to face to really get to know them. And frankly, online dating is for desperate people.
Reply:Its easier if you talk online a while first....Great info on this topic here

I normally dont edit, but after reading the other posts I had to.


Yes internet dating is dangerous. I have to disagree with it being for desprate people. You see with internet dating you can truely be yourself. You can say anything, because until you move to the letter writting, picture exchange, phone calling stage they really arent real to you. Now when you put a face with the name and the conversation it all changes. When you put a voice behind the words it changes again. It was fun and exciting for us. If you chat long enough you can tell if they are full of %26amp;$(# or not. All I can tell you is it saves money on dating and when you finally take the step to meet in person, dont be surprised if they are a total flake ( met one ) or you fall totally in love which we did...





take care, good luck, God bless, and do be carefull.....
