    Why not, I'm all for it ! There's just as good a chance meeting someone online as
    you would on the street. I've met a lot of special men here on SH and if it were possible
    to meet them I would date one or two of them. There are a lot of people who have met their soulmate and have gotten married after becoming good friends online.
    If it's mean to be it will be. You can't fight destiny. XD

    If you're smart and play your cards right, you can meet a much better quality of person.
    For the majority of people who screw it up, it's often their own fault.
    The divorce rate in the USA passed 50% before computers were ubiquitous, so a lot of people were already handling offline relationships poorly.

    Met
    Always meet in a public location, before sundown.

    Same common sense you'd use if you gave your number to a perfect stranger on the street.

    i should have elaborated, a real creeper can keep up a act for weeks.... besides all my friends who married the person they met online. One of them was a complete nut job and nobody knew till the ring was on her finger.

    again, i know 20 people in the same situation from off line meet ups. It's people who are crazy. And crazy people who are attracted to them.

    Go with caution. Too many people tend to "exaggerate" who they are on online dating sites.

    Like they don't on first dates in off line hook ups? You don't go on a first date with someone. You go on the first date with their representative. They don't usually come out for another 2-3 dates.

    Hell, no! I have been married for 40 years in a few days! There was NO SUCH thing as online dating back in the dark ages. But I have a friend who dated online and the stories that woman could tell! She had one guy tell her that his wife and 3 children died in a car crash, so he couldn't have her over to his house, because he couldn't bear to change anything. BS!! He was a COP that she read about doing some heroic deed in the newspaper after about 5 or 6 months of dating! There was another guy, oh, well, anyway, she loaned a bunch of guys money, SSDD with all the stories. And every time, she would act like the victim. She was too egotistical to think they were just using her.

    What's "online dating"? Meeting online and going out IRL? Or having dinner over an IM session, catching a Hulu movie and texting each other a goodnight kiss? XD

    More and more people are meeting their spouses that way. While you do have to use some common sense to avoid getting lied to, it can be a perfectly safe and great way to meet people.
    Usually people who insult online dating have never been in a position where they couldn't find a date in person for an extended period of time. Well try on this not-so-rare scenario before you diss it: You're an average looking adult who is quiet and a bit reserved, not into the club scene. Either never married or divorced. No longer in college and working at a job that isn't very conducive to meeting singles your age. Most of your friends are married. You may be an absolutely wonderful person who would make a great partner, but your chances of meeting anyone are very low...unless you could be instantly connected to thousands of other people who are in the same boat. That's what online dating does.

    As contradictory as it sounds, I've met more "fake" people in "real" life.

    Let's imagine,in a totally hypothetical situation, that those 2 people who met on line...get married and have kids! One day, their son\ daughter asks to the father: "Daddy, daddy, how did you met mommy?" And the father answers: "Well, it all started when I added your mommy on facebook..."

    Sorry, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of "living" the romance of my life through a computer screen. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic, but that is just my bad ;P

    At your age and place in life, you are 100% right. As circumstances change many of your perspectives will as well. Best of luck finding a nice young man that will treat you the way you deserve.

    Im afraid you're right :| Im a teen right now, a romantic one, who still believes that you will meet you're soulmate in some exchange of glances, feel in love with him, marry him, and live happly ever after. I know that it might sound odd to many of you, but i feel like it is just the right thing. I know that life still has a lot to teach me, and that I will probably feel embarassed to had this kind thoughts in the future, but...if thinking this way makes me feel excited to live my life, then i dont think there's something wrong with it.
    Plus, Ive got to congratulate you JoeM, because you were able to express yourself very well, show your point of view in a harmless, peaceful way . Keep it up, my friend.
