I don't have a problem with online dating... except that you still need to be smart about it and not assume that these people never lie.. because some do. I dated a guy online from June of 2007 until I went and stayed with him for 3 weeks that year in August... first guy I slept with and he was talking/texting to my best friend who is 4 years younger than me behind my back. She ended up sending him naked pics of her. She was only 13 at the time... he was 16 and i was 17... and he broke up with me in September of that year. I didnt find out about the pics until after we broke up so I didnt even know about it and had no idea he was basically just using me for sex. To this day I still kind of regret the fact I slept with him and wish I would have waited... but yeah.

I think online relationships are better. You don't feel as pressured and you talk more than most relationships. True, you might get lonely/miss the kissing, but you see who actually cares about you not your looks/your body.

Nothing wrong with dating online. ;D I used to have a few when I was a bit younger. I think it's a pretty alright thing. Especially with the kind of world we live in today with all the technology and stuff.

As chance has it, both my guy and I have Blackberrys, so we talk to each other nearly 24 hours a day. xD<br /> <br /> Almost five months together, now. Not very long, but still exciting. xD<br /> <br /> <br /> I'm actually surprised so many people support this. A couple years ago it was practically tabú.

For me, I support online dating.<br /> <br /> I've been with a man online for 5 years now, and I plan to visit him once I have the funds (and believe me, I'm working on those funds). <br /> <br /> He is the most amazing man I've ever met in my life. He is charming, sexy, has the sweetest smile, and he can be really comforting when I need him to be.<br /> <br /> He is on my MSN and Facebook, so I get to see him every day!

Believe it or not but out of what I've heard many Internet relationships last longer. I've Internet dated a guy(my age) but it ended when he died at age 17. But you will probably want to be with him in his arms, etc. awhile, but that what my friend and I thought.

Obviously there are some people you can meet online who are dangerous, but I have plenty of online-only friends that I have known for many years, some that I have later met in real life, AND i met my now-husband online. The internet is no longer a socially unacceptable place to meet people. As long as you are sure the person isn't some creeper, why not?

I think they're fine. Distance doesn't ruin relationships, doubt does.

What do I think of online dating?<br /> <br /> I think they're just as fine and dandy as dating in real life. <br /> I myself have a kind of internet-boyfriend, and it's all lovely. It has it's pros, and it's cons, just like real dating. <br /> <br /> Just don't listen to the people who judge you. If you love this man, you'll go with him and don't give a dip about what others say. ^^

I don't look down on online relationships. They obviously have their difficulties but so does any relationship. I don't really have any experience with them but I really don't see why it would be a bad thing. <br /> <br /> I mean depending how serious on online relationship is I certainly think the people need to meet. I mean they wouldn't want it to be online forever would they?<br /> <br /> I spent the first 6-8 months of my relationship online with my now husband. I mean I had met him and knew him but he is Active Army so I just met him on one of his leaves. We stayed in contact like every free moment over skype for the time that I wasn't with him. Later after we realized we loved each other we got married on another one of his leaves and then I've been in Alaska with him since! So it worked for us :) I don't know if it matters that we knew each other before becoming internet bf/gf. <br /> <br /> A lot of people talk about internet people like they aren't people. To me I think of them as anyone that I mean walking down the street or when I go to a store. They are people. I don't see what makes them so different anyway ;)
