    Online dating has its advantages in the senses that people who are shy in real life might be able to be more open online and whatnot. However, drawback to it is you dont actually know if that person is real or not.

    Just out of curiosity since i always associate online dating to desperation.

    Not my type of thing and I wouldn't go through with it.

    The one where he thought his online gf was attractive and when he met her in person, he was disappointed rite? I read this somewhere before.

    I have not personally tried online dating but my friend's friend met someone thru eharmony.com. It's founder is a Christian and you must take a 436 questionnaire to find your match. I think it works since they are still dating...

    tried it, been there, done that. Dated some girls and now I'm tired of them being unreal. Your dream girl is never gonna be there, unless you just view girls as sex objects then go ahead.

    Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with online dating. It depends on what kind of person you are, whether you can be satisfied with just emotional feelings or you need some physical intimacy as well.

    Some people can be very happy with online dating, as long as they get to chat with their lover, it's like heaven to them.

    But there are others who need to be physically close to their partner (i don't just mean sex) for example, hugging or kissing. Those are the type that cannot be satisfied with just knowing an identity behind the screen.

    Of course there are some naughty conmen/women out there, but I am not talking about those. After taking some precaution, I am sure you'll be able to meet those genuine ones. You can also get them to show you a webcam if you are doubtful of their identities.

    I don't think online dating is desperate, but I do think it's pretty convenient for those people who are lazy to go out there to meet people. Besides, who's to guarantee that the people you meet in real life won't be jerks?
    Well online dating definitely has its pros and cons, but not to signify desperation I think.

    Having said that, I believe online dating can fill the emotional void in a person temporarily, but it can never replace 'the real thing'. But, there's no harm indulging in it. Who knows, if you are really compatible online then you can arrange to meet up one day, and fall in love in real. -lol

    i dont think theres anything wrongw with online dating... its getting more and more common apparently due to ppls busy lifestyle at work. But I do agree that it can be dodegy when ppl start chatting crap about themselves to appear to be what they are not. But aslong as your honest I think. Cos you know when you meet ppl in real life they can be two faced aswell.

    Has anyone met someone on one of these forums before and didnt know, and end up meeting and going out. I suppose thats a form of relationship that started online.
