pplz are dating online?

[Fabala]

Or MAYBE people meet someone who's just too far away to see every day without making drastic life changes (i.e. moving to another country).

Frankly, I'm tired of comments on something I'm doing myself. I met someone online, somehow fell for him from the beginning (through e-mail, IMs, written letters, phonecalls, etc.), have made the long trip around the world to see him once, and am doing it again this summer. I didn't ask for this. I never intended to get into an "internet" relationship in the first place, though it's more long-distance now. It's not that I'm afraid to "show my face," or like "rp-ing," it's that the person I met and fell for happens to not live right next door.

And you know, even back when I wasn't in a relationship and certainly wasn't looking, I had far more respect for people who were trying to keep something real in the mess of "unreal" online relationships. Because yes, there are those who do it for a whole manner of reasons, without any intentions of meeting. However, there are also those who simply found a different way of meeting the person they love.

[Fabala]

Please edit your first post, and don't post multiple times in a row.

Soooo...you HAVE an online girlfriend, but you're against it? Way to contradict yourself =/

[-akichan-]

well actually...according to Remix's post, wut i think is if he has a girl online, and pretend that he'll meet a girl in real life....i'd say dating online ruins alot ><; well i dunno alot about it cos i never/and never prefer dating online, im actually serious about dating which has to be in real life^^;

[Fabala]

I'll say again. Meeting someone online can be serious, depending on how much effort each side is willing to put in. Not all online relationships are half-hearted RPing flings you know.

[-akichan-]

well you're right tho, but then again, my fav words "different personal opinions" xD

[Fabala]

I suppose, but it's hard to let it rest as an opinion when I KNOW such relationships exist because I'm IN one myself ^^;; Believe me, I'm tired of my 4 1/2+ years relationship being compared with people who get into them just for kicks.

[-akichan-]

then maybe dating online isnt a problem for some pplz who had experienced it before, but also i think dating online could be dangerous cos pplz could be random, i catch your points tho Reiako^^;

[Fabala]

Well, it's all individual. I had never dated online before this relationship. In fact, I had never intended to. It was just...the only thing I wanted to do when I met my current boyfriend. How else to have something with someone living on the other side of the world? And besides, it's more long distance now, having met already and planning on it again this summer.

Dating online has shown me that people can be dorks, and romantics, and jerks as if it were truely the real thing. I found it easier to date online than to just pretend everything is okay and the same in real life.

I agree (all i can say)

[hameht]

Online dating is alright, but i have come across a lot of sickos while on the net >.<...I respect online dating, it is nice that people meet over the internet, see eachother and meet eachother, i think that's kool. Falling for someone you haven't seen gets kinda eh tho O_O. It has its pluses and minuses...

[1withanime]

i dont think that you shold give a lot of info about yourself even to your online "boyfriend" or "girlfriend"

[Female_Hitokiri]

Ehhh...I don't really like online dating, but if they really love each other, then it's fine, I guess.

[Goddess Iris]

i also haven't tried dating online..but i think it's not really good.. because you don't know what type of ppl u are dating with..u may not even know if he's sincere in what he's saying..

[sword_master]

uh .. dating online .. good subject .. once or twice at the most ^_^

Dating online is a very fickle thing. Who knows if the guy/girl you're talking to (who's supposed to be 17) is actually 50? They may be, or may not be. Reiako-chan isso lucky she got to meet her online love, and it turned out he was who he was. Some people aren' that lucky. I was once in an online relationship, about two years ago. While it was wonderful to have someone to talk to and share with, I found it hard not to be able to hold them. It's hard to communicate love through a screen and keyboard.

You can add one more botched online dating couple to the list.



Bah.

Agreed. And it only gets harder once you've met the first time and then have to be separated again. Then you KNOW what you're missing =/

I've waited almost 2 years to see him again, and now it's less than 3 weeks away. Cannnot. Wait.

[Orange Smile]

I had an online relationship about two, three years ago.

Then I started up my next year of school and someone I just met asked me out, while I was still in the relationship, and, with a lack of space to manuever, I was roped into saying 'Yes.'

I had to cut off my online relationship, out of a sense of guilt, and a month later the 'real' relationship ended with me dumping them.

I haven't dating, online or otherwise, since.
