Well, we already know how I feel about this, as I’m in one of these relationships, although me and my boyfriend prefer to call it a long distance relationship over “online dating”. Seeing as how him and I have not gone on dates.Anyway, to answer your question, it’s not for everyone, and yes, it does take a lot of trust and patience to be in one.
I never thought I’d be in one, and look at me now, so obviously I’m not against trying it out… thus far it has worked fine, with it’s ups and downs, but nothing we can’t work out.
It’s no different then any other relationship, except for the physical aspect of it. People in the real world lie too, hold things back and conceal their true selves too.. so it’s not only a cyber thing. Besides you also risk meeting with a whack job out in the real world too, so why are online relationships soooo different and looked down upon?
I hate when people call it “desperate”.. why is it desperate? What is so wrong with meeting people other then the conventional way? As long as their is chemistry and the couple is in an agrement over things and how the relationship is to be carried, I think their is nothing wrong with it.
I say, if the couple is happy, then it’s no one elses business!
Apart from wishing that I was physically with my bf, I’m happy… he’s great guy, one I wouldn’t change for nothing.
Cheers Latino =)

So check it out:
Everyone on here seems to be saying that online dating sucks and doesn’t work, but think about it: regular life dating doesn’t usually work either. Here’s what I mean — even with “real life dating,” you usually have to go through a bunch of boyfriends or girlfriends before you find “the one.”
Generally, people don’t only date online. They generally date in “real life” too. So logic would dictate that if you date 20 people in real life and only one person online, there’s not a good chance that the one person you date online would turn out to be “the one.” I think this is why online dating gets such a bad rap.
Of course, for any relationship to work longterm the two online daters would have to meet and hit it off. But I think there’s just as much of a chance for online daters to find a connection as “regular” daters.

ahaha yahoo sometimes give the wrong categorie but anyway yeah online dating is so wack might as well call it a long distance relationship they don’t work my sister was talking to this guy over myspace and she thought he was a great guy when she finally met him he was this self centered conceded f*cking as*hole they tell you what you want to hear when your with them its a whole different story stick with meeting the someone in person but n0t online.

From what I have read and heard from others, on line dating can be the nightmare of nightmares in most cases. On the other hand, I have a friend who met the most beautiful, intelligent girl on line . He married her, and they have two lovely children and are as happy as can be.

Bunny Boiler July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

Well, that’s how I met my boyfriend. There would have been no other way to have done so since we live like 400 miles apart. But it was meant to be and it is. I know of several other people with similar stories, some have even ended in marriage. It’s a way to meet people…

Janelle (: July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

Well; it’s stupid if you rush into it. My mom had been looking for a very long time and finally found somebody. But she waited for a very long time to actually talk about meeting up with him. and her and my step dad have been married for four years now, which would be good, except, I HATE HIM.
joy. (:NOT.
oh well. haha.

It is what you make of it.
My Mom and StepDad met online, she lived in Colorado, he lived in Ohio, they fell for each other, and have now been married for 7 happy years.
So it can work out, if you find someone you really fall for why not give it a go.

How does one on line date ? If you ever meet, meet in broad daylight in a very public place. ~~ My hubby & I met Sarge on our way from Tx. to Fl. on vacation. We met up at the us airbase in Biluxi,Miss.. He is retired from the military also. He was all that I expected & presented me with a yellow rose of Texas. Bless you friend ~~~~~

Yay! July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

i don’t trust it because the person could be lying about their photo, and more importantly their real lives.
also it is risky for young children because of molesters.
I say have caution! and always be very careful not to give information away.

CeliacSu July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

I don’t think online dating is a bad thing, but it’s a good area for prostitutes and such to find people without the risk of police. So if it were a bit more secure then maybe.

Effie July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

it’s crap.
when people ask you how you met, you cant tell them a funny story or anything.
and it’s just creepy. people should be forced to have background checks to be on there!
but i suppose if you were crazy desparate…

It’s not for me. I like meeting people in person. I don’t like the idea of meeting people to date from cyberspace. I never went on a blind date, and on line dating puts me in mind of that.

i heard once that when a couple was going to meet, the man was complete naked. Its stupid. Online dating sucks. if your looking for a pervert, look on the news for the nasty ones.

Jer$ey Girl July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

Reality is a little better even though you can meet someone on-line depending on the dating site you go to. it’s a 50 50 chance

snow white & the seven Knights July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

i was in a online relationship and he was masked and lied about everything from the beginning in fact from expiriemce i will not be trying online dating again any time soon and never

Wicked™ July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

Hmm, it theoretically could work, but the majority of the time it doesn’t.
eHarmony lies.

haroula July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

it’s hard enough trusting someone whom you know,so the internet dating wouldn’t work for me,too many people can lie about things!

Pro-Jonas, Anti-Miley!!!!!!!!!!! July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

well i think it works sometimes it doesnt me and someone were dating for a few months and we had the worst break up ever! i cried for days cuz i broke up with him =[

I would rather meet my men in real life, this way you know where they are really coming from and you can see it coming if they try screwing you over

I think people should wrap their monitors in plastic or they will be wiping their ejaculation off of the screens.

I prefer the old fashion way…You know ppl actually meeting, yah….Besides its safer.

♥Spiders Squirting Sweetheart♥ July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

I think that it can work out for a select few, but all in all I think most of the people are just looking for an easy lay

Trudie July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

I am not that extrovert. I like to see the person I am going to possibly be dating.

Mrs. Spock July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

I haven’t had much luck. The main problem is meeting men who lie about their marital status or height. Also, some men get upset because I won’t give them my phone number until after we’ve met.

Anonymous July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

you’ll probably be disappointed because most people lie on things like that and it could be dangerous

Internet July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

It has never worked for me. But I have a few friends who met their love online. I guess it depends on how much luck you have. Anyway you can learn more here

i don’t think dating sites work but maybe if you become friends with someone through just a regular site and let it go at it’s own pace then yes it could work :)

WP Robot Wordpress Autoposter July 21st, 2009 at 8:38 am

I don’t like it or trust it. I rather know that person in person or as a friend or something.

Very dumb and stupid. eharmony.com, and other dating sites, their new names should be what’sleft.com.
