Could you date someone online? someone you don't even know personally?

It's the same as off line dating. Off line people can still lie to you and give you false information. If you want to see the person theres alway's webcams. On line dating just like off line dating can be just as dangerous. That's why you don't give anyone your address on or offline or any personal information until you fully trust that person.

It depends on how long I've been talking with this person.

Would you date someone in person or do you want to know them first online

Well, in person obviously.

Yeah, I have done - once. Didn't work out, but the reason for that isn't because I met him online.

I couldn't though date someone JUST online. Obviously!!!!

Seeing as how i'm married it's probably not a question i should bother answering, but i'm gonna put my two cent's in anyway ( if you knew me you wouldn't be surprised ) I would want to get to know someone first, not deeply - but well enough to know we have a little bit in common with each other... if she and i thinks a date is o.k. fine ( remember, she's probably questioning the wisdom of a date just as much as you are - unless your'e only interest lies in getting laid - then your'e just plain foolish ). When dealing with the net i expect a little imbellishment, but i don't expect a flat out lie, if thats what i get - then theres no need for me to turn tail and run ( unless she wants to knock over the 7/11 with me as an accomplice ). Integrity is a big thing to me - so i'd have to see it through, besides it's not like your obligated to a second date .

Nope....you could end up dating this:

LMAOOOOO

my name is joshua im a werewolf but i like to play basketball and im very fast and cute but are u single

Yes, I could date online, but we wouldn't be "dating" until after we got to know each other. You can get to know someone quite well online.

How long have i known them? If i known them for a reasonable amount of time, We get along, and i like them sure.

I have to know very well the person

Would you like to get to know me first?*

Would you like to get to know me first?*:)

my bf lives in a different state never really met him but whatever i love him

If we have stuff in common and we really like each other let it happen. Love is everywhere even the internet.

thats a very interesting question

I'm married. =D

Definetly NO

I would need to know them well enough.

It depends on the person... I mean, I have met someone I was talking on Facebook but I knew he was a cool guy and not fake
Many guyz have asked to meet me, but I say no to almost everyone :)

Why do you say no to almost every1??!!

usually i don't trust them...how can i know that they are who they claim to be and aren't just using someone else's photos?

After a few email exchanges to see if we're on the same page, certainly.

Oh sure. Just be careful. Meet them in public places. Don't go to their house until you get to know them.

Yep.

especially when they got transformers pretending to be women.

Eeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!...

I see nothing wrong with it but I by nature am a skeptic. Unless I really get to know someone and feel 100 % comfortable with the person, I guess I would be somewhat reluctant. You can't be too trusting these days !

Of course my dating years are long gone...but most first dates are unknown...it is about getting to know a person.... often reading posts online I can get an attitude that I would like know this person better and face to face for lunch is fine with me...why not....gentleman and lady can have pleasant encounters online... that can lead to
wanting to know more with a first date...why not... bark

No way, too many weirdos!

I'd have to get to really know them online first...

i cant...wont feel comfortable at all

When I was a teenager, I had my share of online "boyfriends". I never met any of them face to face.
I did meet my partner online but we didn't start officially dating until about two months after we'd met face to face.

Redefining the term, eh?

yep it depends on my wife and I really believe she would not let me do that

nope U either meet them or wouldnt give em time of day, I dont consider it a real relationship until you have spent real times together in the same room. It becomes very different once you meet.
