Post by: tdecet on October 13, 2012, 11:17:27 pm: I have met a few people by internet. All of them have been very nice... I play spades online and we met in Texas for a live spades convention. Was a great time. I'm married so no online dating for me. But I have met others that have met online and have gotten married. You just have to be very careful who you talk to, there are alot of wackos out there.

Post by: laurindat on October 14, 2012, 01:04:08 am: i've met some people online, mostly through playing games; nobody that I've dated though. I prefer meeting someone in person first.

Also, I definitely agree with what people have said about being careful using the internet to find dates. You never know who is really sitting on the other side of that computer screen!

no internet dating is the future of dating

Post by: dwggs on October 14, 2012, 04:39:19 am: I have never even considered internet dating.

I have always felt that when you are not looking seems to be when you meet
the right person ... worked out that way for me and we have been together for
10 years now and going strong.

Many things can go wrong!

Post by: ArashiNoSaophone on October 14, 2012, 05:32:53 am: Internet dating's not for everyone, especially those who are a bit ignorant of personal space or dating in the first place; there's simple nuances that an inexperienced person probably won't learn to not do their first time around that probably wouldn't happen if they met the person face-to-face first. If we're talking about long-distance dating through the internet, then it's pretty agreeable that it's had about the same success rate as normal dating has; though, this was probably less true when it first started up.

Post by: wgoldzweig on October 14, 2012, 06:09:46 am: My experience with internet dating is too many men were on them just looking for sex. Most would not admit they were, but after a date or two it became obvious that was all they were looking for.
One guy after dinner asked if he could hug me..Big mistake on my part saying ok. He tried groping me in the restraurant parking lot and told me what he wanted to do to me.. I told him to go home and cool off and I never answered his phone calls after that.

Post by: Gerianne on October 14, 2012, 06:49:51 am: I sure would NOT trust it. There is a LOT of credit card FRAUD and computer hackers. Dating online could be a link for those who want to gwt your personal information.

And some people don't put on an act when they are trying to impress someone for the first time in person?

Post by: kqa on October 14, 2012, 07:36:21 am: I met a few people on the Internet many years ago, but so many people misrepresent themselves. I had the best luck using local services.

Post by: sherryinutah on October 14, 2012, 09:25:13 am: I don't see anything "right" or "wrong" about internet dating. It's all about personal choice and knowing how to protect yourself.

I've spent time on dating sites; however, I don't have an active profile on any of them now. I've met some really great men and sometimes I've ended up with other guys where I now have a dating horror story.

It's a risk that is...sometimes...worth taking. :heart:

Post by: katybug2016 on October 14, 2012, 10:12:40 am: I think it depends on how you act with it. If you act badly with it and take advantage of it then its a bad thing, but if you arent bad on it and you are careful then it should be fine.
Title: Re: YES or NO
Post by: dcrotteau on October 14, 2012, 11:20:33 am: I have someone in my life so I have no need for online dating. If I didn't have anyone I think I would be to afraid of online dating. There are too many weirdos out there and how can you really get to know someone online. Nope, to me it's just not worth the risk. :peace:

Post by: nickylanena on October 14, 2012, 11:51:02 am: I don't know if I'd try it, personally, but I think you'd have to be skeptical and very precaucious.
