Need online dating advice

[seaofdreams]

Haha, all three of the guys I originally met online had randomly added me on Myspace. I'm still friends with two of them, but the other one was a bit of a nutcase, haha.

I think it's unfair to categorise people who meet people via the internet, like it was mentioned earlier, online communication is a huge part of our lives, I don't see how meeting someone initially through a dating website or such is any different from meeting people in an interpersonal situation. You start out talking, getting to know each other, you decide to meet in person, you get to know each other more and then go from there. If anything it's an improvement on the traditional methods because you can screen them a little before you meet them in person, haha.

Even with my current partner, I met him through friends but because he lives over two hours away, much of our initial "getting to know you" time was over the phone and internet.

Perhaps don't be so quick to judge with regards to physical appearance too, I don't think that I'm unattractive or the "desperate" type but I still found the internet to be a pretty good way to meet guys.

im sorry to put my two sense in but dont you think its a little pathetic (sorry rude choice of words but nothing else came to mind) that you have an online relationship through email? and the cold part about it is it isnt your first time? dude i think your issue is your self esteem or your juss "challenged with your looks" again i know it sounds harsh but think about it. online you dont know who you were dealin wit! it could have been a 50 year bald fat man gettin his jollies to your profile pic. or sum1 with a pretty girl workin wit him plottin to set you up, when you meet her you have a few drinks, next thing you know your in sum dark basement gagged tied naked to a chair! my point is get sum game go to a bar, club, ect. and pull 1 in person. and if thats not your scene then theres alwayz good girls at church. and lets be honest we can all use a little jesus in our lives!! sorry if i came off rude but ima blunt person!

Paranoid?

"Social networking" is huge, why is online dating any different from facebook or myspace? My bud has done it a few times, met quite a few people through it. How is it more dangerous than going home with someone from a bar? At least when you meet in person you know about them (given they were truthful online). Its one step ahead....

now I understand why American always get divorced......

Considering online dating is relatively new and divorce has always been common in the U.S. i don't think it has anything to do with it. Wealth and population density surely does though.

no your not unattractive, far from it actually! but as far as online dating goes its a way for the less fortunate (not money wise) people to meet each other. you can sugarcoat it all you guys want but its still sad ya dig? not sayin that ive never met anybody on myspace but it was never anything serious. the people THAT RELY on internet dating just need to get out and find somebody if theyre looking that hard. and for those "attractive" ones (cough cough!) no neeed to look cuz most likely if you live a LIVELY life theylle most likely fall in your lap!

ahm i also belonged to an internet dating site so no harm in it from my point of view.

id leave it, she cant be that great.

i know loads of ppl that have met over the net. my best mate is now happily married and expecting her 2nd child with a man she met over the net.

and im willing to bet that shes either challenged wit her looks (not you chloe ur friend) or shes got self esteem issues. theres no reason she cant go out and find a guy. my best freind met the ugliest girl in the world,fell in love wit her,knocked her up and married her.

Very philosophical, but this is going over your head and being derailed way too far.
