Thing is, I've tried dating and people around me and they all want one thing. Though people would say i shouldn't complain about it, I want a more meaningful relationship, rather not have my parents find her for me. But I have friends who dated online and actually the got married, so whats your feelings on online relationships?
id say its great, until you realized the only way you can have sex is with an emoticon like this: lol if your looking for a more 'meaningful' relationship id say stick to real life, the chances of you meeting a girl on the internet and then actually hooking up are pretty darn slim. i know angie will be sad to hear my opinion on internet dating as im sure she has been trying to get me in the 'e-sack' forever
Well i sex is something special and even a kiss is. I always thought like talking and understanding another person through words would help create affection toward one another, while physical attraction, sex and kissing would just be a bonus. So you have an online relationship with someone fearless?
my coworker met his fiancee through gaming online. they're getting married in the winter...he seems quite happy. he's always talking about her. he's even quitting his job here in toronto to move to texas to get married. so maybe online dating does work...
no i haven't, i don't believe that online dating works. when people converse over the internet they aren't the same as they are in real life. There is a sense of anonymity when you are on the internet and you can get away with alot of things you wouldnt be able to in reality. people often exaggerate and distort things when they have that anonymity to work with. ie. i'm not saying every single online dating experience might be like this, but even if you did get lucky and met someone on an internet dating site and eventually got together in real life, i doubt the chances of staying together for a long period would be very high.. although i haven't seen any statistics on this.
ah argh , did you have to do that >.< I know about that, how people can fake there looks, but i mean there personality too and if someone tries to angle thing with me, I'd be thinking that there already lying to me. I'm done with lies, people who will be honest about themselves and express themselves freely is my cake so to speak. Though yeah i've seen that pictures before. Though actually good thing you post that. probably would get people talking.
maybe that's something you should reflect upon? i mean online dating or no that's not the issue here. if you want meaningful relationships, perhaps instead of dating the same type of people, try something else?
well you know what i mean by the one thing right? usually after a few dates they would want to and i'd tell them i'm not ready, after that they either leave me of I just don't want that kind of thought when your with someone. Maybe that itself is asking much but, this is a strange situation isnt it?
this is pretty crazyy, has he actually met this chick in real life? there is quite a difference from questing through dungeons in world of warcraft or w/e he plays, and being married in real life.
its always iffy about meeting a person, besides pictures of each other, what about video cams? showing face, even talking on the phone would show truth of identity wouldn't it?
well, my cousin met someone online. and he did it thru one of those online dating forums too. he's getting married this august and seems incredibly happy. the girl also is very nice. i think it's all pretty much a gamble just like any relationship. i mean, in real life dating, people don't really show their true colours until later on in the relationship anyways right? i would say though that u wanna be extra careful considering all the weirdos in this world.
well i thought you said online relationship is a gamble while all you have to look out in the real world are the weird ones, like finding a bad apple in a basket?
^HUH?! now i'm confused. let's start over, ALL relationships are a gamble. i'm saying to just be a bit more careful with online dating cause of all the weirdos in this world. more clear? yeah. cool
alright, gotcha. so i guess the question left is how should I go about this if i choice to date online, where would anyone start?
