internet relationships

[tothebeach]

ok...this question arises because me and a friend of mine were just having a conversation. He is embarassed b/c his dad met his stepmom over the internet. I believe it was a dating service. However, I don't seem to understand what there is to be embarassed about. I've read so many stories that it's getting harder and harder to meet people once you get out of college, and since the internet is such a big part of our lives now, I kind of just seems normal. Whats your opinion? Would you be embarassed to meet someone over the internet and then hook up with them in person? What are your reasons? From my POV, you shouldn't be, but I was just curious as to what other peoples reasons were...

I realld dont see anything wrong with it. My sister in law met her husband over a dating service. He is a real sweet guy. They have been married for about 3 years now and are verry happy. The only thing is that you never know who you are talking to. or what kind of people they are till you meet them. that is kinda scarry. a thaught just came to me, who am I talking to now. What kind of people are in here?? oh well,

i have recently been intermet dating and i think its great. i went one one that the girl was 70 lbs heavier then her pics, and it was a disaster, my second datei dated the girl for 3 mtns and i didnt work, but still an awesome girl. i just started getting on them 2 days ago and i started talking to a girl that seems like she has the same goals as me. its easy cause u can learn what a person is like instead of guessing. she's a teacher, and loves all the same tv shows and hates clubs.best thing is she lives in my home town! i too hate clubs therefore its difficult to meet people in the real world.im shy. ill keep u guys posted!!!
ps u do get alot of personal info on people, whether they are liers is a different story.only thing that bothered me was telling them where we met, but its really no big deal.

My uncle met his current GF over a dating service. My sister is on match.com and is always meeting people but it's funny because her dates are always disasters.

I've done it. it was fun, nothing serious and I never met the person, but this was also like 4-5 years ago. She was really, cool. I had a mic and a webcam at the time and so did she so we actually talked and looked at each other having full conversations and stuff. Wasn't a real relationship like you're talking sbout here, but we took it as something to look forward to everyday or so.

I've known people who've been in them and gotten married.
I've known people who've been in them and gotten screwed.
They can work.
It's worth a try, after all.. You can always date someone while having an internet relationship at the same time :P

True that GritMaster, Some work out some dont, Show up at one place you get a hot piece of ass, show up at another and find out she is a he and he is chaseing you accross the lawn.

I dont think it would sound right like '' How'd you meet'' '' I um...Clicked a mouse and put it criteria?''

so your sister-in-law met your brother over the internet? lol did that throw anybody else or am I just stupid? It took me like 3 minutes to finally realize you were talking about your husband's sister. duuuuuurh

i think dating services are for nerds.... if you're under 30 atleast. I can understand if you're older its hard to meet people. But if you're in your 20s you can just go to a bar or a club or wherever and meet people. I bet over 80% of the guys under 30 on those things are weirdos

I once had an internet with a pretty 19 year old blonde. I met her, though she didn't look 19, more like 50 and didn't look like a she, more like a he and she had grey hear and a beard. Looked NOTHING like she did in the photos, but I suppose people change.


She still touched me where she said she would, though. I told her to stop but she wouldn't

I think she posts on here actually. Her screen name is "Toksin," anyone heard of her?

You can't have an internet with someone, all your base are belong to us.

well i think there a bad idea really.
my ex and i met in real life had some distance between us and used teh web to stay in touch.
But unless your there with them at points its not real

I see nothing wrong with it. I met my current wife off the internet. we had chatted with each other for a bit, then we met at a group get together, and things went on from there. Yes, there are people out there who choose to lie, or stretch the reality a bit, but don't dog it unless you have tried it.

you never know what is out there. the interent in a way, opens up new avenues to people you wouldnt meet any where else. your perfect match could be out, and not cruising the clubs or bars.
