meeting people to date, online?
hello
i always thought people who resorted to personal ads must be either desperate or not that fussy.but i found a few of my friends meet people to date online.
like my gay friend, he met a lovely bf on gay.com. they both are good looking, normal uni student. the reason they met online is cos both of them find it hard to meet other gays in real life.
or my mate, she is nice looking, decent girl, she met her bf in a chatroom. and we have a few couples who met on TSR.
i think if you are looking for a particular quality in someone, eg homosexuality/likes to play cards/is french/is Catholic
then it might be a good idea.
anyone have any experience of online dating/pitfalls/dangers?
anyone recommend any sites?

i met a guy off the internet once. regular guy went to uni blah blah.i wudnt normally meet up over net but i passed my driving test and was incredibly hyper so went and picked him up. ummm my advice-be really sure u no the person. this person i picked up told me the biggest lies ever,and i fell 4 him and the lies. he messed me around and then vanished off the face of the earth!!couple of months later got a wee txt etc but by that time the damage was done.be careful because some ppl are only out to get wot they can and i found that out the hard way!!!!!!
no i dont think its that.cuz i thought i really new this person and i no it sounds weird but wen u get talking to someone online-like really talkin to them u kinda get the feeling you know them if ya get me!!

Oh yes. And then they sweet talk you, recite poetry etc etc. Give em a good slap I say.

You gave it in the car? In what way did he sweet talk you?
Although stuff like this can happen in other situations... I believe you can only decide about attraction, if you're really into someone, the moment you meet them. The online bit can be just to see if you might be a bit compatible. Getting too close online is a bad bad idea. You can really get hurt, even worse than some relationships that happen in person.
no no i brought him home-was such a stupid idea.nuthing really happened the 1st couple of times.we talked about goin out and he was like yea itll a be great and then he twisted me into giving him what he wanted by the old'i feel rejected when you dont do it' so i fell into the trap and did it.suppose i dnt really regret it but after that i wanted commitment because im not into 1 nighters and then he changed his tune and said we couldnt go out becuase he didnt trust me and i was goin away all summer etc etc (bearing in mind this was bak in oct and im not goin until june)and then when i refused to do anything more with him unless he was able to give me committment he just disappeared-the day of my birthdayi was gutted, really cut up about it for ages, and even now if someone brings it up i feel stupid and usedso just be warned

thanks!!
i think in real life u take more time over it-because i no i rushed all the physical side because i believed i knew him-because we talked for so long over the internet.Where as in real life i take time to get to know a person,like my new boyfriend, we have bin sorta friends since like sept and i no alot about him, and nothing is rushed.I probably wouldnt meet anyone from the net again.
although its quite ironic because the net guy and my bf live on the same street(i think cuz net boy never actually told me were he lived)!!

o ive done that too,met a really nice guy but he lived to far away.im not saying its all bad-i just think if ur gullable u can get in trouble hence moi and my heartbreak story haha!!
i do admit some people are genuine tho, but even then your never sure the person is exactly wot you thought they were and then theres the awkwardness if they arent as attractive as you were expecting, or have as much in common as you thought and therefore you have the predicerment of the dreaded 'AWKWARD SILENCE!'
hmmm im kinda contradicting myself here.....
suppose its because ive had good and bad experiences of meeting people but the bad ones kinda stick more!!
im sticking to the meeting in the bar method tho, not that i have to do that like but if i did thats what i would do.
ok im rambling now.... ill stop!!....

hi there, i'm tom, nice to meet you
o ur a funny boy rnt ya!:P
I've got a great "meeting people on the net" story....lol. Started talking to a randomer in an adult chatroom, never intended anything to come of it, was just horny and looking for some gratifcation(I'm a female to clarify.)Then we exchanged pics, both fancied each other, seemed nice. Been texting/ talking on the phone for month or more now(about other things as well as flirting) and now we gonna meet up soon..somewhere public and safe. Which is probably completley unadvisable but you're only young once so...meh
I think it's just another way of meeting and knowing people... Some people would find this strange but not sending letters (that's a bit old-fashioned so they see that as traditional 
), for instance.
I have a great experience on meeting people on the net. I met my best friend on the net around 6 or 7 years ago. We used to talk a lot on Messenger and things like that and our friendship was growing faster and faster. We decided to see each other three years ago, I went to spend a week where he lived (I live on an island and he lives in the mainland) and it was great, that made our friendship even stronger! Several months later we travelled to Madrid together and some months ago we went to the UK together too! I'm really happy because he's a truly friend, my best friend, to be honest. We still have lots of projects to do together!

Yeah right. The fact you need to clarify just shows you're some weird guy inventing stories.Related discussions
