internet dating site dillema

my friend met her current bf off an internet dating site. (i know it seems sad but they are 2 lovelt normal people!) anyway she phoned me in tears last night as she had been playing on his computer and realised he is still regualry checking a site....its called nostringscontacts, so you can see why shes upset. Anyway all i want to klnow is does she have any need to be upset or shall she just ignore it, she hasnt spoken to him about it yet and im at a loss as to what to suggest!

I think "nostringscontacts" means what it says. Internet relationships seldom work out. Maybe she should go looking for a non cyber bf.

he lives in the same town and they've been together for about a month and a half with no problems we are both satisfied he prob isnt meeting these women but shes upset he would still look at messages,


they didnt meet on that site its a different one that he was obviously signed up to

Maybe he has the wrong end of the stick, maybe he thinks that the relationship is casual, like really casual

Or maybe hes just a cheating git, maybe he looks at messages from random friends, maybe he only looks at messages hoping to see some other woman have messaged him to boost his ego, or maybe he isnt as sincere as your friend initially thought..

hmmm perhaps. I think they know that they are exclusive......though they are not together everyday.

Well to save a lot of tension maybe she should just go all the way and read the damn messages, to find out whether hes messaging other people, anyway to be honest its a bloody people finder, messaging site, hes never going to stop getting and sending messages just because hes seeing someone.

well i thougth that and she agreed i think it was the type of site that upset her more then the fact he was still looking at the sites if it was a normal one i dont think she would have minded so much

But both sites are exactly the same, so what difference does it make?

Not really, he could be just as insincere using both those sites.

Cyber relationships don't work. Trust me i was in one once and i will never go into one again.

Meeting people off the net is okay, having a proper "relationship" (not sure youl could really call if that but whatever") but meeting up is the thing that determines whether its a relationship or not.

why cant two people from the internet have a relationship just becasue they are from the net?? i mean as long as they are meeting like you said how is it different from meeting someone in a bar?
