Internet dating?

I’m originally from Arizona but through some twist of fate (ARMY), I’m now stationed at Ft. Rucker Alabama. Now I’ve been here for almost a year now and find it impossible to find a half descent chick in southeast Alabama, its like being in a third world country (I feel like I need a passport to drive off base). so I think I’m going to try my hand at this internet dating thing. Most of my matches are long distance 250+miles witch isn’t a bad thing.

What I’m wondering is how many people have tried this and does anyone have any stories, horror or otherwise?

Thanks

I don't have any experience with it, but a good friend of mine did. It wasn't a legit internet dating service or anything, but he basically met this chick chatting online... when all said and done, he left California where he lived his entire life (twenty-some years) and moved out here to Pittburgh, PA and they got married. He couldn't be happier.

I'm not really all about it, but I'd definitely give it a shot if I was given your current situation. Good luck... let us know how it works out for you.

:cheers:

we just had this thread, but ive dated a few girls. i think it works.

My bad

Never worked for anyone I know better than real dating.

Are we talking meeting people online and then actually dating them?(which isn't bad at all) Or dating them online?...cause that would be pretty stupid.

Meeting then dating but long distance.

I met someone online before, turns out she was a complete psychopath, if it wasn't for a buddy of mine who works in the Sheriff's Office, I would've made the biggest mistake of my life. That just goes to show you, you gotta be careful b/c they can say one thing to you and even find fake pics to send you, but when you meet them, it's all downhill from there. Internet dating is a death trap and I would run as far away from it as I could possibly go. Do like I did, meet a nice, sweet girl, go out for a while and get married, couldn't be happier!

An old-school friend of mine (haven't seen the bastard in over a year) is now getting married to his internet g/f

P--- ----- is V***'s lil (home from work) says:
chatting to V***y now
P--- ----- is V***'s lil (home from work) says:
shes hot

I've erased the names, but he's a friend of mine, but he's talking about his g/f, she lives in England, he's up the road from me :aus:

Another friend of mine, "dating" a girl from canada for almost a year now. I don't think they've met yet though.

Long distance sucks, and it doesn't always work out. I have tried to have 3 different long-distance relationships, primarily using the phone and internet to keep in touch, and it just plain sucks. That's my take, though.

agreed, i thought u mend meeting local, cause its really easy, long distance relationship with someone u never met=re-goddamn-diculous!
