Have you experienced to have a relationship using yahoo messenger?

My friend shared her experience to me and she said how happy and inspired she was everyday because she had a chat mate he found in yahoo chat rooms. I find this odd because I think people in the chat rooms don't really reveal their true identity. And it didn't last for a week and she said that his chat mate really annoyed her to the extent that he erase her in the list of her friends. He said that what the guy wants is for her to show her body :(

Well that depends on how lucky you are. A friend of my friend met her husband in yahoo chatroom and their relationship seems fine till now. It's not a recommended way to find one but I'm pretty sure that not all guys in that chatroom are bad. As for me I found some of my good friends there and we're still in touch.

Well that's good to know. And you know what out of curiosity I tried just a few hours ago. And It's so embarrassing to read their messages that after they ask me about my name, age and location, they will ask further more to see on cam then see my body. The nerves! I just shut down the message box with the spam alerts. LOL! But I met one guy. I think he is different from the rest.

Hi dear, While driving a car, we should drive carefully. The steering is round in shape and whenever the road is curved, the will rotate appropriately and we never rotate the steering on the negative side. There are so many chat rooms and friends around. We first decide 'what to do' and what 'not to do'. Our decision is the steering and we should derive appropriately. If the road ends, there is break. Use the same and taking wise steps are the leading road ahead. So ask your friend that if smell something wrong. Stop there. Put a permanent full stop and take a diversion which will lead to a healthy life ahead. Otherwise, may have to face the bad consequences. There are thousands of good friends around. Look for the good ones and ignore the ones who are dumb and cunning people around, who is really spoils the good will of all. Regards, Thank-s

Oh I see, but you should be cautious about it. Some yahoo chatters take advantage of the weakness of their chat mates. It's ok if they are talking to those persons they know.

That is so pathetic, its better to avoid that kind of chatmates. I have a friend who is also engage in that chatting. They first become lover but turned out to be a BFF. I like their relationship because they share a lot of things without even expecting to be in a relationship. They've been chatting for 3 yrs I guess. I also known a person that they got engaged and married because of chatting. So there are some success stories from the chatting but also there are some failures stories. So it depends on how you are going to handle that.

Few also stated that it really happens sometime depending on luck or maybe they are really destined to have each other. And sometimes, few foreigners use the chat room as a medium so can they solicit money or even fool some people to get money. That is another sad story that after being friends for sometime and they get you already as a girlfriend or boyfriend, then they would ask financial help from you.

Yeah, it's just a virtual world and maybe 5 percent of 100 is true. People use internet as an outlet sometimes and most of the times they won't reveal their true identity. They would lie so they can get you. And when they don't need it...they just stop without saying a word. So we need not get serious about it. That's the same thing I told my friend.

I had two. Both ended up in disaster. I almost got stabbed the second time. Now I have learned my lesson. I only use YM or any chat clients to communicate with friends and family.

Oh my! that's really traumatic. It's really good that I posted this discussion so people will know some bad experiences on the net and will be careful to interact specially the dating sites. Because when you are registered to some dating sites, they will ask about your yahoo ID and that's it. You begin chatting to a stranger that some times ends up in situation like you have.

I doubt if a serious person would look for a partner in chat rooms and similar places online.Some of them are really sick and that's the reason why they spend so much time there.I still have a photo of a guy who threatened to find me and "teach me a lesson".He made mistake by sending me his photo made in jail.I'm not that stupid, I recognized the place easily.Hell knows what kind of criminal he was, but the conversation started in very polite and nice manner.Be careful with fake internet world.

I had one but i don't think its on YM i think its in a yahoo group a poetry group at least we have one thing in common and were still friends maybe because were just two people who really like each other.. not enough to be together but enough to stay in touch.

Yes I have found one. actually many times! I joined a popular networking site aside from facebook and posted some of my photos there. I also posted so things about me and how I perceived life and the quality of people whom I want to meet. A lot of members sent messages to my inbox then I reply by telling them to tell something about themselves. If i happen to like them as a friend then I gave them my yahoo id. From then on we will be having a fun chat. I just told them I do not have a web cam to avoid these kind of things of showing my body to them. If I really liked the person then I now install my webcam and so must he. then time will really tell and if he is really nice then I get to like him which will start to experience love already. If you just found the guy you were chatting with in a chatroom then you will have no idea of his background because every information you will have from him is just based on what he is telling you. You wouldn't know if this guy is really nice or not.

I'm so annoyed by those online people I can't even have any serious conversation nor healthy topics to discuss. It's always starts to and ends of showing the body.

Yes. I'm with a man whom I met online. We've been together for 5 years and we now have a baby. There are people who do not give their true identity. There are people who chat only to have fun. Maybe 10% of the people who chats online are looking for a serious talk and you will be lucky if you got one. :)
