JackOfTheGreen Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 AWFUL! You can be speaking to a fake anytime and you wouldn't even know. Waste of your time, if you ask me. Relationships are always a pain in the arse, anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXlostinmyworldXx Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I had a very bad experience with dating online. I got my heart broken really bad and it could have been much worse. I wasn't smart enough to learn the first time and I tried it again. That one ended the same way, except not as bad because it didn't go as far.

MagentaMysticalRose Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I've done it before and I don't find anything wrong with it. If I find someone I truely connect with I give it a go. I never seem to find anyone that I relate to where I live cause I kinda keep to myself most of the time. Whenever I meet someone interesting online though: I make sure I chat with them for awhile cause you never know what you may find online. And there's a lot of creepy people out there. So you have to be cautious a little of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darling_Kenzie_Sees_Stars Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Bad because there's a high chance that they're not who they claim they are, as well as the fact that people's personalities are different online than in person.

yeswaitno Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Dating online is weird. Youre missing out on physical contact, which is essential if you want a healthy, stable relationship. Its not hard to get out there and start a relationship in person, all you need is a little confidence and a wingman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niyaaaa Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I mean I've seen so many successful relationships through the internet but then I have seen some that have failed miserably and some being victims of a catfish. (Anyone seen the TV show on MTV?) It's a good thing, believe me but it does have it's danger. You have to Skype! It's a must to know that they're real for a first, if they're real then I don't see anything wrong with it. Love is love. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allysa Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Not for everyone, but I've had nothing but positive experiences with it. Literally all of the friends I talk to regularly I met on League of Legends, and I have now lived with someone I originally met on Tagged- and became close with on league- for over 8 months. People irl are way creepier than people on the internet, in my experience. It's easier to become close to people online because you're less afraid of judgement (if they judge you, all you have to do is delete or block them) and they can't ruin your life by telling all of your co-workers/family/friends your secrets, because they don't know who your closse irl contacts are. They're only as close as you let them, but people irl can easily take advantage of you. The only difference I can point out between my experiences and normal online dating experiences is that I actually do things with my dates/friends/acquaintances, instead of just talking. By playing a videogame we are working together toward a common goal, using teamwork and depending on each other to win- not just depending on lifeless pixel-y words or awkward (not always awkward, if you're lucky :3) video calls to get to bond with someone. It's important to keep things fresh, exciting, and have 'dates' or activities you share together just like irl relationships. Cute ideas to stay connected and not be boring are movie dates via Netflix and Skype calls, letters and little surprise gifts by mail (what's more intimate when you're far away than a handwritten letter that your lover has actually touched with their actual hands?), and any app similar to Avocado. Of course, meeting up at a safe place in person is always ideal. Just take any normal precautions you would with anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allysa Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Plus, overcoming the obsession with physical contact I keep seeing is a plus. Deep emotional connection that transcends physical boundaries, obsessive lust, and oversexualization? I think yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Firefly Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm only a fan of online dating if the person is either nearby or if there's a big chance of the two people meeting in person (after being shown proof that they're who they say they are, obviously). One of my longest relationships was a long distance relationship. We met on Myspace, were together over three years, and would see eachother in Illinois (where he lives) or Georgia (where I lived at the time) once every 4 or 5 months or so.
