xyzzzz Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Do you think these websites is a good way to know people or make friends or find the romantic partner? Or only those who are sort of social failure in real life need to do this through internet? Link to comment
Shallow Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 . . . Or only those who are sort of social failure in real life need to do this through internet? It's become a lot more mainstream over the past several years. It's not just for nerds anymore. For example, take a look at the popularity of Facebook. Everyone is on it now (except me, because I'm a rebel). Link to comment

robot20 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Facebook is not typically a dating site is it... myspace wasnt either but i have dated many girls through myspace and they were successful too. Link to comment
Shallow Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Facebook is not typically a dating site is it... Not exclusively, however it's certainly for making/keeping in touch with friends, and people do use it for dating. Link to comment
Shudder Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 not the biggest fan of it. i've met people from it.. but resulted in nothing Link to comment
waveseer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 People can and do meet online, but it's not for everyone. Link to comment
dragon lady Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think it's great and many people I've known have had success with it. Just look at all the people on ENA who have met their SOs online. Personally, I probably wouldn't do it. I'm not even sure I can articulate why. Perhaps it takes a special type of confidence to try such a modern method of dating. Link to comment
NYC5thAvenue Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I guess anyone can find anyone in every website that has anything to do with socializing. For me, i think it is not the website but how one meets another person that determines the success of a possible relationship thru online dating. Link to comment
JusticeLaw9 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 It's just the same as meeting people in the real world. People both online and offline can be just as jacked up either way so it's no different. It was always easier for me to meet people online first and then in person. Honestly, I'm not very comfortable approaching women on the street and spitting game off the fly unless I get a little feedback. I'll wave, I'll say hi and I will approach if encouraged (She waves, smiles or at least puts off the body language indicating that she might be interested.) Link to comment

Honestly, I'm not very comfortable approaching women on the street and spitting game off the fly unless I get a little feedback. I totally understand. I cant just walk up to a girl and have a full blown conversation. Chatting with them online first is always easier in my eyes. Link to comment
quirky Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think I'd find it stressful. I haven't tried it and I'm not against it, I actually think it's a good idea. There is a part of me where I still hope I'll bump into the right guy while I turn a corner and he turns the same corner from the other direction and everything gets really clumsy but aaahh..love is born. And it's all so cinematic in my head. Or I imagine these old black and white films where everything is so intense, he saves me from a car accident and we find that home we've been looking for in each other's arms...aaahhh *wishful sigh* Link to comment
Crush85 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think the internet can be a great place to for people of similar interests to congregate. But as far as online dating goes, only do it if you're really comfortable with yourself and have no problems meeting new people. Link to comment
AuthenticAuthor Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Online dating is largely useless, and if you're paying for it nine times out of ten you're being ripped off. But if its one of the few outlets you have to meet people, it'll still prove more useful than wishful thinking. Link to comment
xyzzzz Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Online dating is largely useless. I've tried it and seems like the people there are not that good.I feel sorry to say but they all look like they cant find anyone in real life,hence,dating online... Link to comment
theStig Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I just wanna meet friends online. Not necessarily romance. How do I do it? Link to comment
Timbertea Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I met someone truly fantastic through Craigslist, and we've been together for 3 very happy years now. Maybe divine intervention, but this was a person that I knew from moment one they contacted me that I wanted to get to know. I was literally giddy with her, and still am. Of course, that took a couple months, and I weeded out 20 people I didn't meet, for 2 I did. Some of the weed outs were pretty scary too. Link to comment
