Have you ever... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Here's an interesting topic for all you internet junkies.

Have you ever dated someone online? Whether you've seen what they looked like or not. I did and let me say it was fun for awhile, but he was such a jerk. Glad I found that out before I met him in person. I live in South Jersey and S.J. is a bad place in my opinion to meet people. I rarely can find an interesting soulmate thats why I turned to cyberspace. Anyone else stoop as low as me and date someone online?

Can't say I have...

I've dated women without them knowing it, but I have never dated online.

Has anyone tried the online dating services? Some of my friends have gotten good results with Match.com...

The entire Internet is a bad place to meet people. You never know what kind of jerks you'll come across.

I never have but I've thought about meeting someone in person that I met online though, like through a dating service. That's how my brother met his wife and they are very happy together. I'm just scared to put my pic or alot on info about myself online because you can never trust anybody.

I haven't dated anyone, period.

I can understand where you're coming from on that. I'm probably the most paranoid person on this board and yet I have a personal site with my pic on it. I figure if other people with personal sites have the guts to do it why not me? It's not like I got my address up on there though.

Yes, I have. that's how I met Lacey (laceyinthesky). We are very happy together. I don't think of it as an internet relationship, it's a relationship. The only thing that sucks is the distance, she's in Texas, I'm in California. I've went to visit her twice, and we had a lot of fun

. I don't see how it's any different than meeting someone in a bar, why do people think it's so taboo to find love on the net? Our relationship is great, it's been a year now. Pretty soon we'll be together, plans are in the works.

That's so cool. I had no idea. I wish you both the best of luck.

I totally agree with you! Just because you meet on the internet doesn't mean it's classified as, "Internet dating". It is capable of growing into something more. I've been in a relationship with a guy I met on the internet five years ago. We don't even talk on the internet anymore. We call each other and have visited each other on occasions. We hope to be together real soon after he graduates from college.

I'll admit, meeting someone online is not normally a good idea because there are sickos out there. But sometimes you meet someone who genuinely is who they say they are. I'm not encouraging anyone out there to try it but if you do always remember to be cautious. Don't let your guard down right away.
