I am just surprised how some people say they have significant others even though they never met in person, just through email or chat.

There's no friggen way I'd date someone online.
 
I wouldnt even have a long distance relationship with someone let alone date online without meeting.
 
it's just really weird.. the person could be completely someone different outside of the cyber world.

You are still single right?
 
LOL, I guess Savage Garden should burn their song:

"I knew I loved you before I met you, I think I dreamed you into life"

Okay, before you vomit on me from the corniness.. I agree, you need to be able to meet the person first in order to confirm the lack of serial killer status :) although it is NICE to get to know the *person online beforehand. In RL, it'll take a bit of time to get used to the physical quirks but the *person's true side will eventually come out to play. I don't know about you, but my online friends know my odd personality quite well and we've never met ;)

I have known a few people that has proposed. THEN met. Then married. I don't think its the question of if you have to meet in person. Just the question of if you can build the trust/faith expected of each other.

Do you have to date? Do you have to interlope? Nah. All about if the person's worth it. And there just might be someone... You'd all be surprised. :wiggle:

Then again I just might be crazy. :crazy:

Mr. P - "Crazy and lovin' it", aye? Well I'm with you.

Hubby [Aghori] and I were friends first, we met, started dating, we moved in together, exchanged commitment rings, set a wedding date and got married. Aghori moved to Canada from USA and it's been over 5 years to this date.

By the way, we met online.

Ive done it before, and will do it again. :) speaking of which, let me go back to my date.
 
How in the heck are ya gonna go out to dinner, a movie, even clubbing online??

Then again, I guess sending pix's back and forth....then VP might do the trick! I've never dated anyone online but have many friends who have great personalities, never met them personally.....

I think Netrox was referring to people who have boyfriends or girlfriends without even meeting them in real life.

Done that before twice. It's different. It's fun, to say at the least as long both parties don't have unrealistic expectations of each others. Prefer the real thing, but I don't discriminate against any new ideas.
 
I have writing relationships that are really important to me. There is a big difference though between how people can come across in real life compared to how they are in writing. In writing and you have never met the person it works nice and rationally to be a genuine friend who cares. To go beyond that it is a journey on shaky ground and time to meet and see whats up before getting very far out there. Or just be happy writing away of life and events and hopes and dreams. It has been many many happy hours of enjoyment that I would have spent reading. This is much better.
 
My cousin met his wife on eharmony. She's a wonderful person and he's very happy. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I think that the people have to meet in real life for the relationship to develop.

I have noticed this especially with the younger ones.

Why let it to get to you when it does not affect you in any way?

When I was 19, I met a few young men (same ages as me) through online. But it was a pre-date. Two of them told me that date online is much better than dating in persons.

I think dating online is not so bad at all. I would love to do it again in future, online or in person :)

Heh, well. I told them that I would prefer to see them in person first. I never actually date a person through without getting know more about someone else. I only "dated" two guys but it was just an another lack of communcation. Dates ended there.
