Pinkbunny Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 what is everyone's opinion of meeting people online? Is it a bad idea? why or why not? I guess I wanna know because I recently met this guy on myspace. (he contacted me.) I said a brief hello back message to him and a "not" joke and I think my joke maybe made him made because I got no response from him Link to comment
renaissancewoman101 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Pinkbunny, I think you can meet people online. I've dated 1-2 guys a few years ago from meeting online. It takes work and one must not spend time just chatting online. One has to meet relatively quickly to see if there is a spark, because sometimes you can have a spark online, but when you meet in real life, the spark isn't there. I think online dating is cool and you can meet some cool people there. I've met some cool guys too. Link to comment

Honey Pumpkin Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I agree with Renaissance Woman - you can meet people online, but try to avoid being an online penpal, because you'll stay like that for YEARS! Take if offline relatively quickly, after checking out they are who they say they are etc, and being very safe. Link to comment
Censored Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I agree with the above two posters. If you ar eonline and develope somehting b/c you are afraid of real life, then don't do it. It will lead nowhere if you are not willing to meet. Use good sound judgement and meet relatively quickly to see if there is a real life conection. Link to comment
surfNski Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I know this is going to sound like a broken record but I definitely agree with the above posters. Take it offline as soon as you can because having a spark in real life is what matters. go for it.. Link to comment
annie24 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 i wouldn't look too much into him not responding to you. don't get attached to people, certainly not before you have met them in real life! i wouldn't worry about this guy, or offending him with a not joke - unless it was a racist joke or something, i don't know. yes, like the others said, meet in real life asap, and see if there is a real connection there. if a guy disappears, forget him.

Dako Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Lots of people meet online and continue a realationshp IRL. It's ironic to ask advice about this subject....online. Link to comment
