I heard about successful and unsuccessful stories about online dating in internet. There are so many free online dating site seeking for love in the internet. My close friend started to look for her mate through online dating. I'm just kind of little worried meeting strangers on the net but of course, in other side there are also different situations in which they find their mate through online dating site. I think extra precaution is necessary. What should be the things to remember in finding a mate using online dating site?

hey there, so i started talking to this person, i haven't met him in person but he seems very nice. we just talk on Skype. and yeah we cant trust someone that easily especially those we haven't met. he seems to be a very nice erson but i don't reply to him sometimes. it was from Facebook, not from a dating site hahaha i would never do that... look for people on dating sites. there is no emotional attachment between us, just friends. just never trust them unless you met them and don't believe what they say right away. and maybe not talk to them about something really personal.

It might be dangerous at the beginning and your friend needs to be careful.However if they will have mutual understanding and decide to move into a serious stage then they better meet each other....

One thing ive learned when internet datting is to find out everything you can about the person you want to date even when your talking amongst eachother , its highly benefitual. And to me for now , i dont look for love on the internet, and alot of women that ive ran into always promote themselves to be great but their now so at the end of the day dont get too excited.

I heard different stories about online dating or internet dating too. In fact, I signed up to one of these online dating sites. I don't know if it will work out for me but at least I met a good friend there and we are still communicating each other. There are a lot of things to consider in finding a mate online. If someone joined with this, he/she should open to possibilities. Come what may!

Met my girlfriend online and we have been together now for over 14 years. She helped me raise my youngest son who is now 18. It is a numbers game. I had dated about 20 different women during the course of a year and finally found the one I wanted to spend my life with. When you do go out on a date meet in a public place like starbucks that's where I met most of my dates at and we talked about life in general and what our hopes and dreams were. If we had children and whether they were grown or not, etc. Online Dating can become a reality -- my brother also met his wife online - and they've been married over 15 years -- so you just never know. Long Distance any kind of relationships are hard.

Don’t you find this can be a very confusing topic? I mean it is not anyone’s fault just is. Ok, I’ve enjoyed our time together and walking on that virtual beach in the picture was just amazing. Talking to you, even better and if I can say, made my day a little nicer. Well wasn’t that nice but if we are going to get more involved and meet each other someday, well it is a whole different ball game don’t you think so? This is what I meant when I said online dating can be a confusing topic. Getting to know someone, well in the early part of nineteenth hundreds, letters were written, pictures taken and people did travel, some across an ocean with the intention of getting married, so then again maybe it is not such a new concept?

Text, voice or video chatting are some opportunities using which people date with their partner. One may enjoy online meeting so much after the he or she meets his or her partner in real. Sometimes someone enjoys fooling or scamming others online. Online dating paves the way of dating where real dating is impossible.

Hi there litvillegas, I actually met my boyfriend through online dating. Although it is kind of nerve-wrecking to find good people through these online dating sites but it was a success story for me. The first thing that you need to remember when you are online dating is to not reveal about yourself too much. Reserve some information especially if you don't feel telling that person. Second would be precaution. If you're going to meet that person, make sure that you are not alone.. Other than that, I think you can find the love of your life through online dating. Who knows?
