Issues seem to be a norm with online dating! The more people you talk to the more they have clear issues that need to be addressed. As a single mom that is working a crazy job with crazy hours online seemed the way to go. Now its just good to come on here an see I am relatively normal! *sigh* an that is so saying a lot coming from me!

Good Luck to yall with the online dating! Its crazy online and off line so just try to have fun!

Do u prefer to meet someone elsewhere or online?

Actually there have been some really great points raised on both sides.

I think that online opens up many many possiblities that wouldn't be there for me. I do think the same rules of caution applies on line as they do in person.

Heck I don't care where I make first contact...

Have found it to be a double edge sword. Have met a variety of very pleasant people online. Some close by. So far away. So who without the internet never would have met. There is also the challenge when you seem to making a connection with someone who more than a day's drive away. When is it time to meet? Where will you meet?

Think both have their place.

i've met 2 of my past relationships online, 1 lasted 11 yrs and the other just over a year. i just hate filling out profiles. i mean, really, how you describe yourself may not be how others see you. i've talked to a few women online since i've become single again and things seem to be going well, till i suggest we meet in person then nothing. oh well.

ok, so i got off target for a sec. i prefer online just because i don't do bars & clubs which is were most meet.

Online dating has it pros and cons, but I like the fact that online dating sites, especially this one, basically give me access (for lack of a better term) to people I wouldn't have met otherwise.



That sums it up for me pretty well.

With the online you can chat briefly and if the person is a total nut case you can screen them before ever meeting face to face. For example, if they are racist or drug users you may be able to avoind the wasted evening for a date. Still, horror date stories are great conversation for the guys..haha

I'm a family oriented guy. And the women I seem to be meeting online is crazy. They all seem to have very large issues, and some that I've even been afraid to fall asleep near. I just dumped my latest tonight. She like to cut herself with razorblades. It's starting to make me think the whole world has gone nuts.
I am so sorry to hear about that, I have heard about those types,I think they are called EMO (thats real messed up thoe)flowerforyou

I think online dating is impossible without a computer.

My mom told me if I had nothing nice to say then keep my mouth shut. Although my dad told me if I had nothing nice to say than say it very LOUDLY!

There's stigma attached to on-line dating, the main one being that some people can't mee someone in real life so in desperation they turn to the pc. Not true. There's also the whole "I can be anything I want" online. That's what you really have to watch.

I love meeting people in person or chatting online. I love watching others, what they show of their personality and how they react to adversity (ie real life). Some are trapped in reality, some are masters of the imaginary while others have just simply beautiful minds. This is online and in real life. They are real people in both cases, so I have no preference where I meet them.

i think there's too much talk and not enough action.

through all of the dating sites i've used, i've only met one person face to face and that bombed pretty badly.

I'm from the old school of meeting people face to face and having a conversation. I've popped on and off of these "social networking/dating websites" because they just never felt right. I made a promise to myself to give it the "old college try" this time around. Will let ya know.

i used to be really closed minded about the internet thing, but it's what you make out of it.you,d be a fool to trust someone you never meet,but then again you cann't trust most of the people you meet in person either.
