sid3 Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Yes I am absolutely certain that the majority of people online dating are in fact criminals in hiding. Surely most of us here on LS are as well. I'm replying to this very post while waiting for the next batch of meth:lmao:.......I would imagine anyone finding out there bf had been checking out online profiles would have a tainted veiw. Probably what one does when they are unemployed and not wanting to find a job.Huh. There are many happy people who have met online, there are probably ten times as many bad dates. Personally I'd rather go speed dating. I am surprised by anyone lying about their height, I mean come on, really?
FleshNBones Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Personally I'd rather go speed dating. I am surprised by anyone lying about their height, I mean come on, really?I tried speed dating 3 times. All of the women flaked out and were no shows for two of the occasions. On the one occasion where I actually met some women, a certain percentage were crazy, obese, unstable, and downright mean. It was one of the few times, where I actually feared a woman. There wasn't much intelligence among the women, but a few too many years.
Riley Freeman Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 no i would not. i would make an effort to move away. the whole look online deal imo looks cheasy and stupid
jcrew Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Well, I guess my husband and I fit into the category of "online dating", though we met in a random chatroom, not a dating site or singles chat or anything. I'm 27, he's 29. Neither of us went online looking for someone. He actually had a girlfriend when we met (he broke up with her a month or so later for reasons unrelated to me). We would chat on a private messager, but just as friends. Eventually we each got webcams and microphones so that we could chat "face-to-face". He got to have feelings for me, but I was uncomfortable with having any type of relationship online other than a friendship. But I decided to go out and visit him, just on a gut instinct. Obviously it worked out, and after a few months of a LDR, I took a leap of faith and moved across the country to be with him. My family was terrified, LOL. But if you're not willing to take a risk for love, what else is there? Besides, they'd met him a couple times, at least. I'm incredibly shy and insecure in real life. Since I met him online, our relationship was originally developed SOLELY on talking and being open with each other. He knew everything about me, really. So when we met in person, I was able to relax and feel totally myself with him. My sister actually does use the online dating services, and met her current boyfriend through one. They've been together for over two years now, and she just moved in with him this past weekend. They've looked at rings and seem incredibly happy together. So, from personal experience, I think online dating can be a great thing. Obviously people need to be careful, but that should be true no matter where you socialize. Webcams help, because you can see with your own eyes that the person you're talking to is who they say they are, at least when it comes to age/gender/etc. I had even seen my hubby's house and cats before I ever went to visit him.
