^Okay.. but don't forget you are talking to a M'sian here as well. I have been living here all my life and I go out a lot at night. So far, touchwood, nothing unfortunate happened to me yet... hehe.
I am one of those unlucky ones which always has a black cloud following me around....So yeap, not much good stuff has happened to me before-mellow
^Hehe, come on, let's say you are fortunate enough to study overseas... Not so many people are able to afford that.. -hug
Fair enough....But, it sure aint easy BUt, its a real awesome life time experience i have to say and i have never regretted it....Not showing off, but i really learned a lot about life after leaving home...
Lol...you have to read Rainy's experiences then it might change ur view or not for chicken like myself....In case got sex maniac, serial killer and so on so forth....We're living in a dangerous world now -unsure
definitely no....you can never know for sure who the person really is. but if you have talked to person for a long time via video messaging over the internet...maybe that's alright??? True true....the world is definitely dangerous place now!
the way I think of it is "would I want to tell my child I met your father online" and we just happened to be so desperate that we resorted to teh damn interent? wouldn't that be a weird, just plain bad situation to be in. i would rather meet someone the "natural way" and that is not through a computer. Like really having first impressions, body language the chemical that attracts people to one another...
^ What's wrong with telling your children that? Surely you'll meet up, get to know each other better before jumping into marriage right? I believe fate works in funny ways, adapting to subtle changes in the human world. Nobody ever said your soulmate or the one you're destined to be with is the one you'll meet when you work, study, go on holidays, etc. It may be someone halfway across the world that you won't be able to meet easily. You may not meet that person at all. So online dating can be one of those ways to connect the impossible. Maybe fate is using online dating as a means for you to POSSIBLY meet your soul mate from other places? (I use the word "POSSIBLY" ok? It's a maybe).And the whole point of the internet is also connecting people from different places right? Of course, it's entirely up to you to take all the precautionary steps possible to protect yourself from the dangerous world of online dating. Don't blame the "online dating" program for the dangers that surrounds it. Blame those awful ppl who take advantage of this "online dating", rendering it unsafe. Remember, there are people who met online and eventually got married happily. Let's not dicount that just because there are also cases of planned raping through online dating.
^ Agreed. Nothing to be shameful about telling your children that you met your father online. Theres nothing desperate in it. Love works in funny ways.
nope, online dating personally, very stupid. like others have said, people can just chat a loada made up crap. unless, your one of those people who get off with immagniations and stuff then i guess... and of course theres the commitment issue where people get attatched or something, you don't exactly know of the "online" partner is just messing with you when your feelings are real? I've seen a friend go through this and I wasn't happy, because I knew the one he was online dating wasn't good for him, so I had to prove it to him, I know it horrible of me, but I didn't want my friend to live in a fantasy thinking he was this other persons only one. So faking to be someone else, it only took me a few hours but this person was all lovey to this imaginary person I created, yet was still online dating with my friend, so i sent him a copy of the messages, it hurt him but at least he found out and dumped that person instead.
There is a high percentage that this might happen but who knows, no pain no gain. How is it only desperate poeple doing it?
I thought online dating was cool, I've tried that. But I will never try it again. Because it's pointless, never get to see the person, never get to talk to the person and just a waste of my time and life. Smash computer and go outside to find someone close by instead of hundreds miles away.
totally agree. n i can see where the whole desperate thing is comin from, i mean, you cant get someone real so u go online where u can fake things n get someone there. hmm..... i jus dnt agree wit online dating lol
it's not so bad. i've done it 10 yrs back =P. it's true, i never got to see her or anything but it was fun. i eventually broke it off cuz i wanted someone that's actually here and i started dating. haven't done nethin dating online since. if u dont take it too seriously, it can be fun. haha any girls wanna date? lol i think its normal now for many to have relationships online nowadays. but i'm not saying i prefer it.
To me a relationship, online or offline, ha a potential to develop into a real deal bondage between 2 people that may even lead to marriage. =.=" So I'm feeling a little annoyed by wheezo's playboy and not serious attitude with his online dates.
