I have never E-dated before. I've done online dating where I send a funny message, and they say "lol"... I don't think dating apps count as E-dating.

For people who have E-dated, what's it like? How does it work? Is it basically a long distance relationship? Are you currently in an E-relationship?
How do I get an E-gf/bf? Do I just ask if they want to E-date?
What if they want to take it further and meet up? Are we allowed to see people IRL? Or E-date other people?

Never. When I was a teen, I had people on Netlog who wanted to e-date me, but in retrospect they were most likely adults in disguise.

I would say it's essentially like being in a long distance relationship. I've never dated anyone over the internet, but it has the same loneliness that you get when all of your friends are also over the internet. You can only speak through text and images.

I remember trying it once long ago, didn't really end well. Hard to feel close to somebody who is like across the world. 😭

No, too risky to get fooled by trolls.

personally, no. I guess I am insufferable enough, but I know people who have/are e-dating and it works for them.

I would probably be ok with it in the beginning but with time and especially after the face to face meet up, I´d probably crave the presence of my dear one and find it hard.

Never

And I dont know, I dont know if there kind of stuff can even work. Like you can never see the other person and there are many people trying to pray on lonely users for money or just trolling.

The closest thing I got was a girl (allegedly) that wanted more, but I just never took her seriously. I would just shitpost when we talk, like how I would do with anyone. In the end she was just trolling with a lot of guys, some took it seriously and got devastated when they find it out.

Nothing special, it works just like dating irl. If you want to try, you just ask a person for it, again as irl.

However, I would not recommend it. My own experience turned out to be a failure (twice). It's really difficult to maintain, especially if you're teen/young adult because you'd be just stuck to your school/college/1st workplace.

Dating without seeing the person irl comes off as catfishing scam in my book. So no way

No, although I've had a crush on some of the e-girls I've talked to over the years.

I'm on all the e-dating sites but I only connect with people in other countries.

Just narrowly escaped being kidnapped/trapped in a sex dungeon/walking around an empty parking lot while someone enjoys his wife/girlfriend while watching me from their apartment window.

I'm also in the friend zone with a bunch of LLMs.

Well, if there's no one else to tell, AI always might be a help for a while. Like, you don't need to get obsessed on it, just to experience what you desire and feel easier on the chest.

But sure if there's a chance, it's always better finding real relationships. 🚫No online dating, neither AI🚫.

I didn't use dating apps specifically for online use, but I did use Tinder. I knew that no lasting relationship could come from Tinder; I only used it when I was bored and wanted compliments, to flirt, or to have sex.

That's cute, heh. But C.AI is quite a strange platform, I mean, their privacy and restrictions. I'd recommend trying others too. For example, I like Xoul and JanitorAI. Check them out〜〜

Or after all, GPT or Deepseek. They don't have cute style and photos, but obviously their engines are the best for great book-like narration🐱📖.
