is it weird to have a myspace relationship?, haha. yes i know, how lame.. but yeaaa i need advice Options

[mytangerine]

this is lame..but just.. help?
ok so im having a myspace relationship with this one guy;
however, i think the whole thing is pointless & stupid.. but he's just... really great it just seems like we've been friends forever. but yea.. im thinking i should just be friends with him oh & im going to meet him on sunday...

[Skyline Drive]

So do you only talk to the guy on myspace ?

How old is he and does he live in your area ?


I'll let you know my reply after you answer those.

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

i heard something about this on the news... don't do something stupid like that. having a relationship with someone on myspace..that is somewhat pathetic

[*This Confession*]

Ehm, I met my boyfriend on myspace. Although we talk on the phone like everyday and stuff... We haven't met in real life either we are tuesday though .

But if you find it pointless and stupid then I highly just don't think you should be in the relationship then. It just sounds like you just have him in this relationship just so your in one. Tell him what you think about it, and get his opinion on it as well. Maybe you two should meet and stuff and see if you two are really capatable with each other and then think about continueing the relationship.

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

yea havin a realtionship on the internet is not only sad ( no offence ) but a BAD IDEA...people can say anything that you want to hear.. in other words its REALLY easy to lie about who you are i mean you dont kno who i am i could be 89 years old and have a picture of a 17 year old on myspace (which i dont lol ) i would NOT recommend it at all. be careful if in the end you do decide to meet the guy he can turn out to be the opposite of who you thought he would be. GOOD LUCK!! and be really careful.

p.s bring pepper spray.....jus in case lol.

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

i think people who have relationships online are dumb as hell..no offence...especially on myspace..

[*This Confession*]

yea, don't bring pepper spray. well you could
but take a few friends as well if you don't
have like any kind of proof that hes the person
you think he is 0_o


^well then do you think long distance stuff is dumb too?

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

i still say it is pathetic but if you wanna get raped by some crazy old ass pedophile..that is your choice

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Online relationships are for people who are too pathetic/ugly to find anyone who will like them in person.




No offense. But imo online relationships, anywhere online are just not for me.

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

chica who stated this thread..i don't think you are stupid i just think that is a asinine thing to do..don't be a dumbass..no offence

[PrincessAda]

So many people do.Its not even weird anymore.

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

yeah..i know it is hella pathetic...people are such dumba$$es lately

[snak3y3z1001]

my buddy met this chick off myspace. less then a month into the releationship he got engage to her. I met her once. She is really pretty but is dumb as a f**kin brick.

[doork]

A boyfriend on myspace? For me its pathetic. You have to be careful when you meet him, but yeah.. I think its pointless.

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

dumb people+internet+myspace= one pretty pathetic conbination

[*This Confession*]

^what if where not dumb?


Some people are cut out for long distance/online relationships..
Its a matter of trust. I mean if you go and talk to their parents and
plenty of their friends and talk to their friends online and their highly open about themselves then I wouldn't worry so much. But when you meet him for your first time take a friend with you. Make sure your parents know where you are and stuff.

If you ever feel uncomfortable whether it's by phone, Internet, or face to face, never ever be afraid to discontinue the relationship. Your safety is the number one most important thing and your internal instincts should always be taken seriously.
If a person that you met through the Internet begins to bother you by calling you all the time, sending you weird messages that make you feel afraid, or you fear that they know where you live and are stalking you, don't be afraid to tell someone to get help.
The bottom line about Internet relationships is to have fun with them. Don't get too caught up that you miss what's going on outside of your computer. Relationships can be just as fulfilling online as well as offline. Just remember to have fun and if it makes you uncomfortable in any way, end the relationship before it's too late.

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

i can understand long distance relationships but i don't understand online relationships.. i just find online relationships fcukin stupid

[*This Confession*]

seriously if your just going to keep going and say how stupid it is, then I suggest not to keep replying the same thing pretty much. Your supposed to help her not tell her shes stupid or pathetic.

If shes going to meet the guy maybe she can figure out her feelings. And if she doesn't like the guy still then she can end it. Or well if the guys not who she thinks it is, she should just take friends along and drive by or something and see if it him and if not then keep driving 0_o

[KMFDM_MDFMK]

i ain't saying she is stupid and pathetic..she might be a smart girl. I am just saying that online dating is pathetic..if she wants to meet the guy that is her personal decision

[SarahxJoy]

I'll have to agree with Holly. We can't tell ola says hola to not go and meet this guy. It's her choice. Like Holly said, take a few friends with you when you meet him and be careful about who you trust. Good luck.

Edit\\

i ain't saying she is stupid and pathetic..she might be a smart girl. I am just saying that online dating is pathetic..if she wants to meet the guy that is her personal decisio

..really?

i think people who have relationships online are dumb as hell..no offence...especially on myspace..

dumb people+internet+myspace= one pretty pathetic conbination

And if it's her personal descision then let her be and stop replying to this thread talking about how you think it's dumb and pathetic. Sheesh, give it a rest. :)

[angel-roh]

Myspace has full of liars and stalkers =O

But if you like to take dangerous risk, go for it

I do find it weird.... myspace relationship -_-;;;;;;;;

ONLINE relationship. DO YOU MEAN ONLINE RELATIONSHIP? if you mean that, no it's not weird

[Gypsy Eyes]

i think people who have relationships online are dumb as hell..no offence...especially on myspace..

Hey it's not as dumb as a sixteen year old being engaged. Now that is simply brainless

Maybe bring a friend with you when you meet him? Or have a trusted adult nearby? Just in case

[Gypsy Eyes]

^exactly, if she brings a few people with her she should be ok as long as it's in a busy area.

DO NOT GO OVER TO HIS HOUSE OR THE OPPOSITE!

[Skyline Drive]

i know alot of people that become friends with people on there just because their friend knows them than they meet them in real life and it's no big deal. than they look into dating or something. but this seems desperate or maybe it's because you're so young.. just bring some friends with you.

Agreed.

[julianaaa]

if you're going to meet him.. go with a group of friends.
or meet him in a public place.. such as a park filled with kids&adults.
or the mall.
dont go somewhere with him where no one can help you if you run into any type of trouble..
such as an alleyway.. his house..
anywhere that could put you in danger.

[iDecay]

I wouldn't have a myspace relationship. He could be some weird-o stalker. I'm con internet relationships.

Online relationships are for people who are too pathetic/ugly to find anyone who will like them in person.

Hahahaha. That made me laugh.

[xlilaznchickx]

shes rite....i mean...it is very dangerous...u probably seen on the news those old men try to be high school guys and stuff....and the others r rite..if u really wanna go..bring some friends..

[radhikaeatsraman]

i'm not going to tell you that you're bad or stupid or whatever for having an online relationship, but i will tell you this: i think you're taking an extremely big risk by meeting this guy. you'll have to give me details as to where you are meeting him and who (he says) he is before i can give you adequate advice.

but other than that, i really hope you're meeting in a public place and going with a buddy or two.

and to KMFDM_MDFMK: i'm not trying to hate, but who are you to say that it's stupid to have an online relationship? my uncle met his current wife through an online dating service, and their marriage is going extremely well. i doubt you know who this girl really is, so who are you to judge?

[marzipan]

well, if you think it's pointless and stupid, why do you have a relationship with him?

I would be careful if I were you....like suzzette said, don't end up like those girls on the news. Even when you meet him, I would be careful.

[mytangerine]

1. i am NOT dumb or ugly or PATHETIC & that is rude to say that when you don't even know who i am, so shut it .
2. i am going with friends
3. i think the situation at the moment is dumb.. but he's just such a nice guy & not to mention hot.
4. my frend knows who he is & is frends with him so that sorta changes things, yes?.

[whenshesdancing]

i don't find it lame, just really risk-taking and dangerous. maybe if it were a friendship, but having an online relationship on a non-secured network...

kinda makes me feel uneasy. no?

[Comptine]

^ people might be a little confused because you say it's dumb/pointless but you still want to meet him. i guess that that occurs from your knowledge of how online relationships go but it contradicts how you feel about him. i agree with most people that... it's a big risk and i rather you not take it because of all the heat Myspace has been going through. the most i can tell you is to be extremely careful at a public place with plenty of people you trust around. and take it slow.

i think online dating is a little... shallow, like there's no substance behind it. however, a lot of people aren't cut out for 'regular' dating. like they can't meet someone physical and then build a relationship from there. some people rather find someone and get to know them from their personality/conversations because there's less of a risk of rejection because of physical attributes. it's not stupid or pathetic... it's just... dangerous.

and there are wonderful love stories of people who found their soul mate through the internet, so it isn't so dumb, huh?

[mytangerine]

seriously if your just going to keep going and say how stupid it is, then I suggest not to keep replying the same thing pretty much. Your supposed to help her not tell her shes stupid or pathetic.

Thank you oh so very much.

[pinacoolada]

I don't think it's stupid...just be sure to take precautions. Like what someone said, bring a friend or pepper-spray. Ask him for personal info such as home number, address etc, then make sure to give it to a number of trusted people just so they can track him down in case something happens.

[*Uronacid*]

alright, if you have only talked to them online then... I wouldn't just go out and meet them... that would be bad idea. You should really form a bond with them over the phone and online... maybe even with video clips... make sure you get lots of pictures of them too, and ask them to take pictures of themselves doing funny things so you know its not some slime-ball trying to rape you. I'm meeting Holly in three days.. I have about 30 pictures of her... even pictures that very few people have seen... I havn't recieved any video footage of her (none... don't get any ideas O_o...), but i have sent her videos that me and my friends made, and man... i dunno, but with all the stuff that i send her... through the net or in the mail. I think it would be pretty difficult to fake me being me... JUST MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE MEETING.

[*This Confession*]

Thank you oh so very much.

Your welcome Deary

[Gwardys]

I met my current girlfriend of three months through Myspace and I could not be happier.

I knew she was okay to meet however, because our friends knew each other, but without Myspace we would never be how we are now.

When you say a "Myspace Relationship" you make it sound like, Myspace is the only way that you communicate, and the only way that you know him. If I were you, try and find someone to go with you when you meet him, or seriously get to know this person.

In the long run, you decide if you are going to meet this kid or not, but use common sense. =]

I wish you the best of luck.

Edit:

If your friend knows him personally, then why not meet him?

My girlfriend and I had a "Myspace Relationship" as well, until we met in person and really got to know each other. Now we only use it to send each other lyrics to songs.

[mrs_Havokxx]

Yes there have been many incidents on the news :[

but...

If you get pure make sense proof that this guys is for real (maybe a webcam)

Something that can make sure this guy is for real Its ok.

If you want to meet him somewhere for the first time bring a parent.
He wont think your stupid or imature, he will know you want to keep safe for internet predators.

oh and if u dont want ur parents to know that u met someone online bring someone who is like taller and looks older and can actually protect you :]

hehe

[*Uronacid*]

Yeah, accaully I'm meetin holly and her dad and little brother will be their too... accually I even asked her dad if he thought it was ok if we went out... I guess I was just really nervous, becuase shes 15 and I'm 20... I wanted her parents to know all about it becuase I didn't want them to cahrge me with statitory rape... that would not be fun... I think we will have fun even if her parents are there XD... WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN AWSOME TIME!!!! I hopw

[*This Confession*]

^hope

hah well atleast you don't have to meet my mother
easpecially since today. I won't even be seeing her anytime soon.

[demolished]

online dating isnt for stupid people, morons.

it's stupid people that arent smart enough to find ways to defend themselves.

[AngelinaTaylor]

You know what, if you really want to go through it (although I advise you not to), call his home and ask to speak with his parents and comfirm that he's really who/what he said he was. That's the safest thing you can do.

And bring some friends when you meet him for the first time. Oh and also, meet at a place with a lot of people.

[shewasradiant]

i didnt even read what you wrote. just the title. and yes, its weird.

[LOWinSKANK]

i think even if you've spent you life knowing someone online, you shouldn't date them. sure if you meet online, talk, meet in person & then start hanging out after that [if their in your area], and it escalates to a relationship then go for it. otherwise leave it at friends. people are too weird these days and he might not be the same person your talking to. i dont know, thats just me. if you do meet someone i'd say go with friends or something.

[DivineFox]

Never know who'll you will meet on the internet these days @_@
