Aslong as both parties are actually who they say they are and not a creepy guy pretending to be a girl, I'm okay with it. Hell, if two people can grow to like eachother on personality alone they probably stand a better chance imo.

If it's not irl it's pretty lame. Unless role play can suffice which i don't think it can.

I would definitely not date my internet

  • Its dishonest (it says its going a lot faster than it actually does)
  • its unreliable and always letting me down (Constantly drops out)
  • Its clingy and seems desperate (It connects automatically to every device in range)
  • And worst of all I think it likes my sister more than me.

Nothing wrong with online dating, you just have to know what to look out for.

I was stupid in high school and ended up getting stalked by two different guys online. One found my address and I had to call the popo (gawd weird shit has happened to me).

It's the only way I could ever get a date, so I like it. It helps people who aren't very comfortable talking in real life to find others like them, and that's a good thing.

It has its risks for sure, but dating is all about risks anyway. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but I have nothing against people who do.

It's a bad idea. You'll develop genuine feelings for the person, but in reality, you'll likely never meet to do stuff with each other. So it'd become a really sad and depressing thing.

I can totally relate this to my real life. Happens multiple times.

I cant say its bad, but 99.9% of the cases, do not work. I think.

Not necessarily, if you'd go back to the 18th 19th century a lot of poets dedicated love letters to women or muses they would never meet, directly citing the fact if they met their love it would get tainted.

Huh, one of my friends has recently begun a relationship with a girl on steam. He's claimed to have spoken with her on skype via Video Calls multiple times and both of them have promised numerous times to meet.

So far i have my doubts on it working. While i've seen Online dating have sub-par results (my dad found a girlfriend online for which he had a very healthy relationship with for 2 years)

But that's the thing i think Online sites like Zoosk are fine, cause that's the point of them, they're made for online relationships. but in the case of my friend who has met this girl over Steam; Makes me question the legitimacy of that manner of Online Contact.(of course i wish the best for him) but i have my doubts.

I played MMORPG a lot, and online dating happens everywhere.

Anyway, it does not matter. I have no intention on indulging whether "online dating is good or not" problem. I have had enough share of personal experiences to know it will not work (for me) ever.

With all due respect it doesn't matter whether it's good or not, I'm just saying that ''meeting up'' ''getting married'' ''going on a date'' isn't the absolute goal of online dating, it's possible to keep it in 'perpetual check' a game that lasts forever the person participating could argue that ''I enjoy the feeling of loving my idea of you, instead of loving the real you'' while it might be weird and it might be the result of cowardice I think we can agree that it's neither good or bad.

No one cares about whether or not it will work for you.

I met my current GF through a dating site. I think it's fine but it's really hard for guys, I had an account for 3 months and only went on dates with 2 girls, only 1 girl other than those 2 actually messaged me back. She showed me her account 1 day and she was getting like 15 messages a day, it's insane.

The only girls I went on a date with messaged me first. So guys just make your account and wait for them to message you, you'll never get anywhere trying to find someone.

Girls I'd say be cautious, just reading some of the messages that people sent to my GF showed me how creepy most dudes are, I thought girls just exaggerated that stuff.

Even when you are serious about someone, they are not. Dating online is just a game for most of the people. (not talking about dating sites) Personal experience is the hard way to learn that online dating is a mistake. Simply no, never again.

Been in a relationship for over a year now with someone I met online. We've met in person on a few rare occasions. He's just who he always said he was, and he's wonderful. I think they can work. But you have to be willing to wait and willing to get through the struggles that come with long distance. It's definitely a harder way to date, but not a hopeless way.

How could dating through the internet be dangerous?? XD

Do you think Internet dating is good?

No, but it is fun and a good time waster.

Would you date someone on the Internet?

For a good time waster, yes. It is just fun until you get bored of them then you have to dip out, feelsbadman

Do you think Internet dating is dangerous?
It does have its risks. You might end up meeting with someone very creepy or stalker-like. Or, you might get catfished. Depending on what happens, it can really negatively impact someone if they don't get what they expected. You can also get doxxed pretty easily if you aren't careful about your personal information. Once some nasty stalker gets a hold of that you have to do something to stop it.

Do you think Internet dating is good?
It certainly made it easier to date others, so it's good in that sense. It's not nearly the same as irl dating though. If you can date someone irl definitely pick that over the internet. Also, it sounds really shallow for me to say this, but I feel that the reason most people even bother with Internet dating is to get their nudes. There are a lot of attention-seeking whores out there. ._.

Would you date someone on the Internet?
I can't take online relationships seriously, so no.

Have you ever dated someone on the Internet?
I have. It's mostly just an excuse to have some cyber fun with females kek. :~)

Dating regularly is already a minefield, dating online is like diving into a tank full of sharks. What your looking for probably isn't worth the time or the risk.

I thought this thread was going to be about online dating (ie. setting up real life dates via. the internet), not "dating" someone over the internet. I wouldn't consider that dating in the first place. I don't know what I would consider it; a scandalous and bizarre form of online friendship, I guess?

It's harder to pull off (especially if the two of you live far away) but it's worth it in the end.
I mean, if you can get through the hardships of having a long-distance relationship then it's likely the relationship will last in the long run.

One of my best friends has been in a long distance relationship for a little over two years now, and it's going strong for them. They've had their share of issues but it's made them stronger for it.

It isn't for me personally, though.

Online dating seems sad. Even when physical distance isn't an issue, I still feel like there will be a disconnection between the two due to preconceived notions of what it would be like when they finally did meet.

But to each their own, if it makes them happy for a little while than I don't really see it as a bad thing. Just kind of empty and fruitless most of the time.
