I met Nick online, he lived in West Virginia. after years i finally got the guts to ask him to live with me. He's here with me in Alaska now and this is be far the best relationship i've ever been in. i don't think it works for everyone, but it worked for me.

i've never been happier!

The point is that it's just a gateway to meeting people, in order to have physical contact. It's like getting into a HUGE new group of people - you meet people and then take it further if you both get along. You're not meant to maintain a relationship only via the internet!

To be honest, I'm actually trying it. Most of the girls around here are either taken or dumb as a bucket of strump, and it's annoying. The site I'm using is free. If it doesn't work, I haven't lost anything, right?

I'm actually taking a girl (who I met on there) out to dinner on Tuesday, so it's not a *complete* waste of time...

Meeting people on the internet initially is all good in my book. It's a vast network where you can easily find and talk to people, which can be hella difficult for some people. But I don't think it can be sustained via the internet alone. There has to be some actual dating that follows/coincides. *shrug*

I believe in it to a point. I met my fiance on myspace and we weren't even looking for people to date, but it worked out. I think if you never meet each other, then it doesn't make much sense and is a waste of time, but relationships can start over the internet and end up going on in real life afterwards. ^^ Plus, those internet dating sites usually help weed out the good candidates from the bad ones, so if you go on a date with someone from an internet dating service, you're more likely (not always, but usually) to have more in common with that person than a random person you just met. You know that the two of you will at least have a starting point with each other and you'll be able to go from there But it's definitely not for everyone.

It all depends, sometimes people are total fakes on the internet so it is a lie. At the same time, Some times people have an easier time being who they really are and showing their true colors to one person one-on-one without the worry of being judged, physically, sexually, or within peer pressure.


And after expiring:

"Internet-dating"
"Internet-Relationship" (not the same)
And a "met on the internet then hooked up in real life" I can say it's not always all bad

Specially since I wasn't looking for an internet relationship haha, I'd much rather be RL but some times you can't help it. I think I really met my soul mate on the internet, but we're not gunna be together, and I think we both know that.


Who has the right to say where love comes from? I Love someone I met on the internet and I always will. And if anyone says other wise, call me childish, they just don't understand.

I guess I'm not really one to talk, since I met my boyfriend over the Internet... xD BUT I met up with him in real life before we decided "for real" if we actually felt those things for each other.
I believe that you can't know you love someone until you've physically met them; it's way too easy to pretend that you are something you're not on the Internet.
