irc333 Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Saw an interesting profile. FIRST profile in online dating where someone actually admitted that they have a policy of not dating within their own network of friends. Thus, her reason for online dating. When in fact, this was the MOST common way that people met. Everytime I hear a "how we met" story, it was ALWAYS through friends. But now, technology has come in and kind of messed that up, and made it the MOST preferred way to meet people? I am wondering if all people are going the way of meeting through cyber connections than real life, because they might be socially awkward? I'm sure some peoples excuses are "Well, if I met someone's friend through a friend, if it didn't work out....then it would be awkward." And I'd be like "Um....grow up, will ya?" That being said, I think it's kind of sad that people won't date throughtheir network of friends.
unm Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 There's a free Facebook dating app that helps you to date in your network of friends of friends, called Friends Match Me - www.friendsmatchme.com . It also shows you any similar Facebook Likes.
grkBoy Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 She probably wants a guy she can 100% cut ties with if things break up. She probably doesn't want to be in a scenario where her friends have to pick sides.
iris219 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I've never done online dating and I don't date within my network of friends. I'd be willing to meet a friend of a friend in a group setting, but won't do a blind date. Most of my friends and their friends aren't single, so I'm forced to look elsewhere.
