Do you think there is stigma attached to building friendships and romances online?
I met my girlfriend off of MySpace back in December. I liked that we got to know each other quite a bit through emails, then phone calls, then finally in person. I think there's advantages of meeting someone online & I don't think that there's too much stigma attached these days. After my divorce, I figured I'd probably be single for quite a while cause I didn't think women like her existed, or were in very short supply. Glad she came along and proved me wrong

Yes. but it make no since. What's the difference between meeting someone online and meeting someone at a bar except if things go south, they can't hurt you (being as you may vary well be on different continents). If anything, online dating is the safest way to go if you're not going to stick with people you already know.

That's cool. Though, I've always wondered if many people really look to meet new people on myspace and facebook. I reserve those sites for just people I already know. |

Yes, over all I still think there is a stigma; perhaps more so in certain age groups than others. I also think it depends "how" you know them on line when you tell people. For instance, if you talk about chatting with someone that you play a computer based game with, I think people generally think ok...a casual friendship based on a game. If people are posting in forums with a group of people and that is the base of the friendship...same thing may apply. If people hear that you are talking on the phone with someone that you met on the internet and you are friends, I think that some people will still think this is a "scam" type thing or very dangerous. (not saying it is not dangerous at times, so is talking to someone in a bar or parking lot or....) If people hear that you have a great friend that you met on the net and you are going on a date that night....(this is where I chuckle) the first question they may ask is..."Have you met them yet?" some people are still not comfortable with the idea that people can write, talk, and interact and have a great friendship...and then take the relationship to the next level..the meeting. and personally, I met Darrel(my sweetheart) on the internet and we were great friends. We talked, we emailed, we chatted, played around in the forums...all as friends. Neither one of us had ever talked about being anything more than that to each other...we were just great friends. Then last summer...almost one year ago...I had a couple of my internet friends over for a party...(40 people, 5 countries, and 4 days)...that was the first time that Darrel and I had actually met, after almost 2 years of knowing each other...and we knew we really loved each other. Our friendship was and is the basis for our love and our relationship. some people still look at me and say..."well, you are lucky he was not a serial killer rapist!!" The thing is, people have to be smart and use common sense on or off the internet... I think in a couple of years...the stigma will lessen...and soon become rare...there are more people on the net then ever! I have made some fantastic friends on the internet!! I live with someone that I met on the internet and if my 79 year old mother doesn't have an issue with it, then others can take a different perspective too! |

I never really used MySpace to try and meet new people. It just happened to be how it went down. We became good friends that way and when we met in person the chemistry was there. |

Personally, I'm not sure that love really exists out there. Online or off. I guess that doesn't really answer your question on your terms, but, just my thoughts on it.

Actually, for me it's turned out to be more of a stigmata. |
