My BIGGEST pet peeve is that if you take it seriously as a way to meet someone & try to put some effort into it you still don't get many results (dates) & it starts to feel like second job just managing your profiles & emails. Face~to~face first dates are like "job interviews"!!!!!explode explode explode explode explode


Yes!! I get that a lot too.. It seems like everyone is gung ho about getting to know you one minute and then they go poof? LOL maybe they just dont like the "real" me? noway Nah couldnt be that?

ive myself found all this stuff too in the "real" world, its always a chance if it doesnt work out get over it.. its like that if you met them at a friends house too.. if they are gonna lie and pretend be a player they will be in person too.. here it just brings it all out fasterlaugh i met my boyfriend on the internet 6 yrs ago, sure its been a struggle at times to adjust to each other. and it was on and off a few times also.. everytime it gets better cause we both had to learn how to bend and think of each others feelings and "show " that we care by our actions...internet or not thats the facts you have to learn each other.. and some take longer than others to learn.

ive also seen people live their entire life off the internet, the only friends they have are on the internet or the only friends they talk to on the phone are from the internet and live miles and miles away and they never if rarely see their friends... almost in a fantasy world and all alone in person... its a sad thing...cause people need true friends that are literally by their side ...

Hmmm where do I start? I think my biggest pet peeve is the deceitful profiles even when they are generic or copy cat of all the others. And I can not even begin to list all the things you see that can and do affect how you will respond.

Some people just don't get it. There are some here who truly are looking to meet someone and its not a game to them...

The one thing that is not an issue to me ? "distance"... Its no biggie to me , because if it means finding that true love then I can sell and move.


And with that I bid you a happy day with lots of lolipops

I find myself very sceptical but not cynical about this whole issue. I refuse to let someone else's bad behavior rule my own actions and beliefs. And to allow someone else to make me start to have doubts in my own hopes and dreams is to give them the gift of allowing them to manipulate me and letting them win. So while I now take things and people with a larger grain of salt than in the past I refuse to give them a win by making me scared of still trying.

dating is dating

whether you're in real life or online

the internet is only another tool to use. Like a cellphone. just because you got a cell phone didnt mean that people were gonna start calling you. and just because you're on an internet dating site doesnt mean that either

you have to work at it and sift through the losers and scammers just like in real life

What issue about Net dating most frustrates you & why? I'm just curious if other people are as tired of it as i am when you really don't get much to show for it what


it takes weeks, literally WEEKS, to get the smell out of your sheets and pillow cases.

1. The internet provides an anonomous forum for people. Often people on the net are not being truthful such as with pictures, basic information or even who they are. So, some people that appear to be interested might actually be married or lying, so that is why they disappear.

2. Distance can be an issue for a lot of people. Most people are open and honest about whether or not they can be in a long distance relationship.

3. Another thing is that people cannot expect to only find someone from online. You have to diversify your dating experience such as going to different places, exploring hobbies and spending time with other friends.
