Being In Love Online, How absurd, or how blissful? Options

[Achromatic]

Well, I just wanted to see what everyone thinks about online dating, hmn? Stupid question, I know. But I don't want answers that pretty much cliché, if you know what I mean. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't mean online dating as in 'Cyber/Porn/sex/etc etc' ... I mean like knowing a person from online experiences, and creating something a bit more past friendship. Finding yourself e-mailing and chatting with that person 24/7 and well, you know the butterfly feelings. x] Well, how about it?

[captured_serenit...]

online dating isnt worth anything trust me...

but if you met him in person after meeting him online why not?

[Achromatic]

Yeah. Meeting him/her in person. I'm planning to do that pretty soon.

[sxygrl4u159]

it wouldn't work out in the long run. sorry.

[tooshie]

meeting new people online is okay i guess, since it's super easy to do that. but having an actual relationship online? eh i dont think so.

[Achromatic]

Hmn. I see.

[mouse_3k]

online dating to me is pointless...its like ur having a relationship to a...40 yr old perverted fat guy..

real stupid indeed.

[Garden_Nymph]

Mmm...not up for having a relationship online, especially if it's long distance. If they're close enough to say that there's a good chance of meeting, then I don't see a problem with it.

indeed it is. i can just imagine that.

[inthemudhole]

I don't mind it.
I have a createBlog crush. *gasp*

[Rice_on_my_shoe]

I agree.

[shawty_redd]

well it would depend
if the person lives in like asia and u live in the bahamas then its impossible
but if they live on the same continent then maybe you guys could meet each other

yea it happens, happened to me too, i was talking to this girl and i start liking her cause she seems to have a great personality and was down to earth. so i asked her out. saw alot of her pictures and talked to her on the phone because she live about 170 miles away from me. sadly to say it last 6 months, it was cool though because i had learn things about it, not nesserarly(sp) bad things but good things like long distance relationship is really hard to mantain a constant relationship that other people have ( as in seeing the person and actually being with them). to this day i don't have any regerts about it nor will i have any in the future, just sometimes i think about if it was a wrong thing to break up with her.

just somethign for you before you get into this situation, make sure you really trust the person and you know what he/she looks like. you could never know if it might be a crimal person or a 40 yrs saying he was like 15 yrs. its dangerous

Personally, I think it all depends on trust. Make sure you really know the person before you take it beyond friendship. Personally, I think that 'online' is a bit easier at first... You don't really have to deal with awkward moments where s/he says something that you dun know QUITE how to respond to... You don't have to reply immediatly. Also, for a lot of people, it's easier to be more open online - less selfconscious. But I really must stress this TRUST issue before meeting them face to face.... Don't just accecpt things at face value - if you're concerned about something, try to bring it up again, or even ask directly. Currently, I'm in an online relationship and while, yes, it is hard not seeing them everyday, I kind of think it's worth it. We both know each other's personalities really well; no stigmatas to really deal with; there's a bond of trust between us that I've rarely seen in 'IRL' couples. We HAVE to trust each other if we want this to work.

Sp while it has it's ups, it also has some downs.
Just follow your heart - it rarely leads you wrong.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It is hard, but I guess for some parts, it is worth. Pictures and talking on the phone is really what I meant for the relationship to start moving. Like knowing and trusting the person.

I totally get what you're saying. I guess trust is the way to go in order to keep the reltionship active. It's hard though, especially when you're a student and all. But, planning to meet one specific day, talking on the phone and knowing how we look like is cool, too, I guess.

[MeanBastard]

I love dating 60 year olds.

It can happen...but I don't think a person will go to a certain extent if they're trying to date like a million people at a time. But that's your belief, right?

[conster]

lol lol..
my cuzin had an online relationship wit a guy in england.. she lives in ny.. but my brother broke em up cuz it wasnt safe.[hes the "big brother" of the fam] she gave her fone # nd address and everything.. that was like 4 or 3 years ago nd she was only 11 at the time, i think. ill never forget it, she said she was really in love. but wen everyone looks back at it, we dont find that it was the best thing she ever did, cause shes such a smart person, and she got herself into something soo deep that she didnt realize that maybe it could NEVER be. in her case, they really could never be. sometimes i feel bad cause i took a part in helpin to break them up. i thought it was pointless though, it just made a dent in her life where she might have thought she was in love.. when it was simply just thinking you were.
now, i dont know how she really feels about it all, or how other people feel about it, but its just.. pointless, like some had said. not safe, at all. especially these days. dont ever take too far beyond the email address or instant messenger.

just an opinion.
