What is your opinion on online dating?

Question

What is your opinion on online dating?

Answer 1

Uh, this is my opinion, but it's pointless. Because you don't want to give out too much info just incase it a physco. And because you don't want to do that, all you can do is talk. Personally i think it is pretty stupid.  

Answer 2

2% of them work.  48% you get raped or get killed.  50% you find old mens or women.  So yea.. there you go.

Answer 3

don't do it!!!

Answer 4

i can try it , i think its great when your older like 20 to 30's or beyond if your desperate  

Answer 5

I wouldn't do it. It sounds too risky to me. What if the person seems like everything you wanted and more and ends up being a perve or rapist or pedophile. Maybe it's just me but i don't think it's worth the chance. Just go out on regular dates or double date. NO ON LINE DATING FOR ME

Answer 6

I tried it in April of 2004 when I moved to a new town and knew no one , I found it was 99% game players or people that were married saying they were single , if I go on the same sites now over 4 years later the same exact people are on there , I think it is a waste of time...

Answer 7

If you mean meeting people online and then taking it to the next level, I don't see an issue. In this day and age, there's no need to go straight from emails to meeting.  

Answer 8

Hitting the internet to find your soulmate to me screams "I'm desperate and gullible and I have no social life"  

Answer 9

It's ok..i guess..the only problem is the other person can be lieing to you about everything

Answer 10

*****It's surreal.  

Answer 11

It is an option.  A blind date from a friend who of course has a single friend, who hooks you up, can lie, or who they say is cute, and is not etc.  

The same with Internet dating...  you see a picture, get a small bio...

talk on the phone some, and meet for a drink... no big deal...

as long as you have a plan to exit, a friend who knows what you are doing, a back up plan. (I assume this is for mature people)..

All is well.

Answer 12

well..... i think its very risky. You never really get to know "the real" someone online, cuz belive it or not people act very differnt online then in real life. But in some cases it works out. My mom met her husband online and they have been married 4 years now. So good luck and be very careful!  

Answer 13

I don't believe in on line dating because you won't know if you have a connection in real life. You may feel that you do, but really it's just the words that they're saying on here. I know this from past experience. It's so much different in person then being on the internet, plus you never know who you could meet. :0

But good luck and i hope you find a relationship some how.  

Answer 14

Online dating is a misnomer...you cannot "date" someone online. However the 'net can be a great place for adults to meet potential partners, get to know each other a bit, and then meet offline.

Kooks and bad people exist online and off, so the 'net isn't the dark, scary place some make it out to be...but you've got to use good judgment and (un)common sense.

I've dated people I met online for the past decade...sometimes when we met in person we clicked, sometimes we didn't. However luckily none of the guys I met was ever very different than how they portrayed themselves online in writing or photos. No bad experiences...some good, some mediocre (just as occurs when you date people you meet offline).

The 'net can be a great tool for meeting people, but don't discount the typical offline methods as well. One benefit of the 'net though is that you can meet people who you might not have crossed paths with otherwise, in your typical daily life.

Be cautious and safe, but otherwise enjoy. I've got friends and know of many more people who got together offline, with people they originally met online, and some are married or in long term relationships. ☺

Answer 15

Its fine - If you know who youre dating. I mean, you have to really trust them, cause it could be some 60 yr old man. I met a guy online when i was 13, talked to him for a few months, met him and was with him for 4 years. We still talk to this day, but he cheated on me unfortunatly. so I left him, but now we're good friends. I just cant trust someone after they cheat. I also met a guy after him and was with him for 2 1/2 years..he eventually started treating me bad and it didnt work out. Now im engaged so a wonderful man that i met online (oddly, he was actually LOCAL but we did run into each other online) its fine. And if you need anyone to talk to..my yahoo ID is viva_la_bam9 and my AIM is xhatexlove69. Message me ;)  

Answer 16

It sucks. You better off meeting someone at a football game

Answer 17

not a good idea you can be anyone you want behind a computer so you can be meeting the man of your dreams or a killer very bad idea

Answer 18

I think it's unaccpectable and nobody should be doing it. It's dangerous, yes I admit myself I did it before and talked to the boy on the phone but I am still liking it a bit. I am trying to cut back on it but it's just showing that you are to lazy to find a boyfriend yourself in reality and that your so desperate to get one. Don't do it DANGEROUS.

Answer 19

Answer 21
