| What are feelings about online dating? Would you do it? Do you consider it "loserish" to resort to online dating as opposed to meeting people the "normal" way? |

If so, sign me up for the "loserish" team.
Granted, I wasn't trying to date someone I met online - but none the less, things worked out great for me.

| You mean online dating services? or just dating online, with someone you met on a website like TA? |

NO
No offense to the people who do it, ( that's how my mom and her husband started "dating" ), but I am sooo against this. I think it's not really dating, it's more of a " I am committed to you while I am sitting behind this screen taking to you , but as soon as I get up I am fair game".
I rarely works out and if it does, it's a little messed up. I think there is more effort in maintaining a "on line relationship" then there is when you actually see , hold ,kiss conversate in person. If you can do this then more power to you. I just don't think it's the proper way to date and or have a relationship. Texts, LCD screen and lovey dovey emails are not a relationship. Even if you talk on the phone, chat and send stuff in the mail, it's not a relationship. E-dating is just stupid.
Yes I realized that I said "relationship" a few more times than expected but I think that people will eventually lead it that way anyway.
And I'm not talking about meeting someone one on a site and then meeting up like Rob and Myra..I'm talking more along the lines of JUST meeting online and keeping it that way. NO meeting involved.
EDIT: Hmm, now that I reread the first post..( I'm just stupid, forgive me ).
I still say no. I mean a lot has happened to me recently that could make me say yes or no but even though I'm more stuck on no. If it happened, it happens. You can't help who you meet and fall for and want to meet up with, who knows it could all work out perfectly and you could be happily together, ie- Robster and Myraness. I just personally would rather meet in person and meet them face to face rather than talk online and get all these expectations and thoughts in your head and when you finally meet then some how get crushed or just don't turn out like planned. ( Has happened to me , so maybe I am a little bias on all this, whatever ). When you meet in person first there still are expectations, but not as many I don't think. |

| I have a friend that found a girl online...they're living together now. I don't think there's anything too weird about it. She's got a nice set, so who am I to judge.... |

| Nothing wrong with meeting people online. It's good to meet face to face soon, though, maybe after a few conversations, so you don't have time to build up huge expectations and have them crushed. |

| I'm sure it works, but I personally don't like the idea. I like to stay away from the internet as much as possible. |

| It can be hard, but there are some good parts.Couples that see each other every day sometimes take it for granted, whereas when you finally see your partner at the end of the week things tend to be more intense and stay that way longer |

| Only online if they are ugly & they stay on the other side of their computer away from society so we dont have to put up with their ugly faces, then yes for sure. Otherwise I date good looking people in outside world. |

Nope.
Also don't meet someone online, become friends (ONLY FRIENDS), meet them IRL and sorta fall for them, then have it go back to being online and long distance.
That sucks balls. |
