e-Dating: Your thoughts?

[Dioz]

I've noticed recently, mostly coming from the chatrooms and a few from here, that it's common place to be e-dating. Take from that what you will and all, however normal, or weird, or whatever!

What do you think of the whole concept? What's your understanding of it all?

In terms of distance, would you think that it would be similar to a long distance relationship or not?

I'm bored af, so explain to me what you think about the whole idea of e-dating is, to you.

Simple, yeah?

[Daytrips]

i guess it would be the same as long distance relationships, for most people. i'm a little bit wary about it because people are really different online, personality-wise.

[Bitchiness]

It can be very easy to end up with a bf on the internet and bf IRL also though!

[MysteryGirl44]

Usually pointless and not a good idea.

Online relationships that are completely non-physical are stupid and immature. I can't understand why a guy, particularly over 16 would want relationship in which you cannot have sex with your gf. As a 17 year old lad, I would be embarrassed to admit to my mates or family that I have an online girlfriend, because I would feel like a t wat.

[Stay-Gold]

Stupid unless you live a close enough distance to see each other regularly.

Real one would cancel out the internet one.. correct?

So, who is the lucky e-girl then?

Understandable. Most logical answer I'd think.

How do you date someone if you have never met them in real life before?

Ah, you have good taste.

It does seem rather impossible. Then again, this is about e-dating, where people proclaim their love for one another over an internet connection.

[Kiralicious]

There's a difference between having an online relationship and meeting someone on the internet and having a real life relationship with them following.
There's nothing wrong with the latter, I did it and a lot of people do it these days. It's become just as acceptable to meet dates on the internet as it is to meet them in a bar.

Online relationships, on the other hand, are foolish imo. You've never met the person in real life, therefore you have no way of knowing if they're really what they seem. Anyone can fake a personality over an internet connection. You have to actually be with someone in the flesh to figure out all their flaws and how they really behave and to find out if you really gel together.

[purplegal]

I would do it only if I knew the person in real life.
My relationship with my former boyfriend was mostly e-dating, because he went to college in a different state than I did.
But, we'd met the summer before classes started and we got together during breaks as well.
I would never start "dating" some random person I'd met online.

[XmurderXchaosX]

99% of the time, a stupid idea.

[kelsaa-]

tbh, i think it's a bit silly. i just don't think you can rly get to know someone over the internet. you dk how they behave irl, their little quirks, how they interact with other ppl, their flaws. speaking about ppl who've never met who "date" and live way far apart.

[XsrdX22]

Pretty pointless imo.

[ktdiep]

Whatever floats their boat..
I'm in a long distance relationship so I guess I'm a bit biased. It's not solely over the internet hah, we skype/text/IM/call eachother on the phone a ton. We'll meet one day.. I just have to do without the physical perks until then.

[Ozarka-More]

i can't even bring myself to meet up with someone on craigs list to sell or even buy something.
so there's no way i'd get in an online relationship to where they'd have enough time to go crazy and do me jeffrey dohmer style.

i won't completely judge someone for whatever they're into. but i personally like physicality and face to face interaction.
that's how you truely get to know someone. because anyone can fake a persona over the interwebs.

[aubrieanne]

As long as you have plans to meet them irl, then go for it. Also, there has to be compromise in any e-lationship/long distance relationship. As long as they are both willing to give things up, move closer to each other, delay the physical aspects, etc., there's no problem with it.
