has any dated someone they met online ?

If Im not mistaken TV start married a man she met on line. I believe it is one of those black girls that are twins. they had a show called sister-sister. I believe she married a WM.

It is really tuff to communicate online because you can lose what the person is really trying to say sometimes.

Be that as it may , has anyone dated someone online. tell us your story .

 

I dated several men I met online. Some would argue that it goes against everything a good girl should/shouldn't do. It's not for everybody that's for sure. I have always been a busy person, school,work..ect never really had time to mingle. Although I never had a problem meeting men in person, online dating saved me time. I could choose who I wanted ahead of time by selecting my likes and dislikes and making them known. I met some really good guys online, some of them were first daters only though. I think the key to knowing how genuine a person is.. is giving it time, communicating through email and text and talking on the phone first will give you a really good idea of this person's character and if they really are who they say they are...ect I had two long relationships ( well about 6-8 months each) from dating online, they both were amazing guys.. just bad timing for the both of us. Also, I recommend dating someone who lives within your radius, long distance DOES NOT WORK!

 

When you mean dated - I am assuming you dont mean a few dates to find out who they are but beyond that.

Yes.. I am dating someone I met OL.
We first started talking in January and after a few weeks of talking - no face to face - I told him off and to go away.. long story, he was being an ass.. - which he later admitted to and said that he acctually got impressed I didnt take his shit, and also said he wasnt really ready to date at that time. Neither was I to be honest.

Anywhooo.. he contacted me again in April and here we are.

Its pretty casual, exclusive, but casual. Its exactly what we both want... no pressure, lets see where it takes us kinda thing.

I think the key is to move on from OL communication quickly, a few exchanges to check eachother out should do it.
Its not condusive to honest, genuine communication and the longer it takes, the less likely it is to lead to a face to face. Just move on.

I also learned that chemistry over the phone does not mean you have face to face chemistry. LOL

 

Yep, I dated a guy for 7 months that I met online.

You all know what happened with that. LOL.

 

this is more appropriate and i DO believe you will get more responses

dated people online? nope not into computer relationships

dated people i origionally met online? yep sure have. dated a few guys for on average 4 months each who i got chatting to on social networks, met some good people just didnt work for various reasons, am still close friends with the squaddie

my other half i met on a facebook kinda place years ago, flirted a little but nothing much
met in person as friends, cinema trips and the like, kinda fell into dating each other, been together for 14 months+ now

i get approached by guys when im out and about but i do not do well with strangers and am told i give out back off signals when im out and about making folks think im either snobby or an ice queen, lol

 

I'm leaning towards ice queen


How's the weather in antartica?

 

nice and frosty thanks

hows it at your e-corner?

 

All Jokes Aside...

Yes for 2.5 years is the longest, 6 months is the shortest, 2 months of strictly booty calls (occasional movie) with another one.

All online, on via mIRC, the other two or three via Tango Networks (Loveiscolorblind) oh and some girl I met once, did once, hear from every so often via Blackplanet.

 

it happens

we're all organic at the end of the line after all.



virtual networking is still in it's infancy, and with that, it's still not as respected and understood as traditional relationships. people that have met others online and have developed romantic feelings with just that type of medium, do understand the power of it.

in the past, I have frowned upon the internet and meeting people. I've done this not because of my own opinions, but because of the opinions of other people, that have not experienced it. From my own knowledge tho, I know it can be just as fun and meaningful, as having known the person in physical life (which usually ensues if the pair continues on that road).

 

Understandable, my game just works better online, I don't know what it is...

 

when will you start working your magic...????

 

LOL!

 

Rep added! I couldn't have said it better so I won't even try

 

Yeah

Did a couple times in Illinois and in Boise, ID. Girls were okay, but they didnt have no jobs or a future it seemed like. Pretty lazy.

 

No.

 

Let me see, to be honest I've lost count of the number of people I've dated from online, I'm including one date only's in this sum up, I also run that alongside meeting guys when I'm out and about, the guy I'm dating at the moment (although that may change soon! all my own fault!) I met online last year from a particular site I have used frequently.

I've been on some great dates and I've been on some terrible ones, dating online is lazy dating IMO and I'm a great advocate of anything that saves time and makes things more organised.
Also, as you know that everyone else is looking for someone when on a dating site it makes things simpler, I have a nice healthy MSN list thanks to online dating and if you feel like it you can click a button and arrange something!

 

Aww nooo! What happened? I'm so nosey

 

Agree with that, lazy dating at its worse. Dont expect any great results in dating someone from online. Best way to get to know someone is to go out and look. Even though people say bars and clubs is a bad place to meet people. Its actually not that bad. While living in England, Gloucestershire region of all places met some of the sweetest country girls in the bars.

 

I was a bad, bad girl LS and my badness knocked my front door after I'd been out with my full time man, I made a mistake tryed to get it to go away and it wouldn't go! and then it literally knocked the door and bit me in the backside. Just thinking about it makes me cringe
Oh well, I will just have to see what happens, I can't change It, I can only be sorry. Hey ho
