Dating online - YES or NO? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting3 weeks ago

Dating online used to be an unknown pastime to many people especially to those who were born in my era. Internet was never heard of and couples dated in cars parked in secluded areas without care of mosquitoes feeding on their sweet bloods. The weekends see the beach jammed with cars turning the area into a carnival like fiesta of dating couples. The beach was the favorite haunt place for many young lovers or not so young lovers to explore each other in what we often tered as 'lovers paradise.'

Internet has changed the trend of yesteryears to make it easier, more convenient and wider choices for people to date online. It makes international connection possible and faster and making what used to be impossible possible. Online dating has paved the way for people to find their soulmates and for those who are in sick relationships to seek alternatives for entertainment in the hope of escaping from the doldrums of their marriages. To find willing ears to pour out their grievances. They are no short of people taking advantage of the greenhorns in online dates. Don't you think the risk is high in an online date as you never know if the people behind their profiles are who they say they are.

I am in an online chatting but my initial interest was to seek friends that I could interact intelligently on various topics, maybe someone who not only infuse me with intelligence but lots of humor. From what is considered an innocence chat can escalate which lead us to the world of fantasy that could dent and dilute the real world relationship. Very open, fun and shocking that I can conclude in an online dates but don't forget it can also leave you with heavy emotional baggage and no drive. What do you think? confusedblink

I have done a little bit of online dating. it seems most people are just out looking for a hook up though and nothing serious. you do have to be careful of fake people but i haven't really ran across any yet. dating online isn't for everyone thats for sure but i think online dating has made it easier for a lot of people to meet others. it's sometimes easier to get to know someone over the internet then it is in person... it's got its pros and cons just like everything else..


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

When it comes to dating online, it is really good to think about the situation with a sober head. Think about the risks that you are putting your self in when talking to people in the cyberworld. I think people take advantage of the anonymity of the net and what they say are only partial truth.

You are correct, online dating opens more horizons, but also more dangers. In many ways it is just as distance dating has always been though, but moves much faster.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

There is greater danger awaiting for those who date online if one is not careful. It is better to date the boy next door. lol

Before, I am not much with the Online Dating thing. But as the time goes by, a long time friend of mine who is now in abroad invite me to a site. For many years have past, I open it again looking for a chances to meet a friend or even to serious relationship.

I got a lot of friends in this site, even my boyfriend I have found here. There are some sites are not good for online dating. It is still we have to be careful. I am just lucky to have my love.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

It is rare to find people who are genuinely interested in a serious relationship. What we find in the net are cyber playboys who are out to lure the the opposite genders to their clutches for entertainment purposes. shocked

In my own definition of dating, online dating will never be qualified as it is. Dating for me is a personal appearance for two individuals who will try to know each other better. It is not a virtual world where the two people dating can't really see each other personally. Our actions in the real world can be so different in the reel world. For me, online dating doesn't work.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

To some, they can't see the relevance of online dating. It is more fictional than real. I still believe in the conventional style of dating where we get to see eye to eye and the meeting of the hearts make physical attraction stronger and meaningful.

Hi Zandi, I know some people do it but it is not anything I would ever consider. to me it is just building someone up in the mind and for me attraction is always part of it. I know that for me appearance counts, and certain traits to such as looking people in the eyes and carrying themselves with confidence. These things are unknown quantities without direct contact. Although certainly friendships can be formed on line, dating is completely a different matter, for myself at least.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

lolDifferent things apply to different people. It may not be everyone's cup of tea to date online. Those who don't get to see the other eye to eye and the absence of physical touch may not agree to online dating. People often wear masks online so we never get to know the real characters of people behind the masks. What comes out from the mouth may differ from their hearts. It is just like living and loving someone in fairyland. w00t

Not to mention the possibilty of there being some complete nut jobs lurking online. lol

Dating online is not safe because a lot of bad guys nowadays used the internet as a hub of their bad works. So you guys who like online dating just be careful. Much better if you have a date not online but personal date and it must be in public where there are a lot of people seeing with you. Like dating in Parks is safe than in a strange place.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

You are right, bad guys normally dominate online chatrooms just to lure innocence people to their clutches.

On the internet as elsewhere we must be careful in meeting, use a common sens,trust must be earned and you can take your time before giving it to srangers,Be sure the integrity and sincerity of your callers before giving them your confidence.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

You are right use commonsense when chatting with someone online. They may turn out to be an ex-convict or a murderer that is only looking for their preys. shocked

hi zandi, i have not ever tested by online chating so i dont know how it works in our day to day life. but i think it is one of the best ways to meet and interect world wide. but if you consider mylot as an chatting cite, then yes i do chat. thanks.


myLot reputation of 88/100. zandi458 (5705)   ranked 20 out of 1,299 in chatting  3 weeks ago

I don't consider mylot as a chatting site. When you are in a chatroom, you chat on one to one basis. Mylot is a social site where everyone joins in to give their views on a given topic.
