Friends first, Boyfriend second is always the way to go IMO. My best relationships always began as friendships. |
None of my friends were ever attractive to me... and even if they were, I don't think I was attractive to them either. |

I know 2 different friends of mine who tried online dating for fun (they were both perfectly capable of finding their own dates).
Both are in serious relatinships with the online person now! :)
I doubted it at first (and was even scared of it...too many stalkers and sexual predators)....but now I see that it can work! |

Ya, I can definitely not seeing it being the way to go for everybody. Though it's what I find works best for me. :)

I think 5-10 years ago I would have been scared of it to. But so much has changed with online friendship/relationships. I remember when I first told my parents about visiting people I had met on the internet they thought it was weird, but it's totally different now. |

P.S:- Speed dating is the most desperate way to meet someone. |

I personally don’t see a difference in meeting someone at a club, walking down the street or online. However, meeting people online is a bit more unique for various reasons.
I’ve met and dated several girls from online. One whom I fell in love with, but things really f***** up in that relationship (not going into the details, but I’m glad I got the f*** out of that one). I’ve had some good and bad experiences, and I would talk about those, but that would mean I’d have to sit here for 1 hour and type an essay.
I remember the first ever person I met online was this chick over ICQ (it was the cool thing back then, chooon! choon!) and we ended up going to a rave together. (For some reason Elvis Stojko pops up in my head because I think she was talking about him hahaha) can you tell this was a while ago? lol
Nonetheless, I think meeting people online is harmless. So what if you have a bad experience meeting someone online? Have you not had any bad experiences meeting someone person to person (i.e. rejection etc…) Yes, just like the clubs downtown, online dating also has its creeps lol…
However, I think one of the biggest flaws of online dating is that when you meet someone and things work out and there is that connection. I find that 98% of the time, those who start dating still keep their profiles active. This later causes bigger issues between the two.
Also, online dating is a quick fix for some people, short term dating. That can be an issue because people don’t state that at the beginning of the date, causing more problems later.
So people who think online dating is weird, its not.
I rather meet someone online, talk to them, and get to know them, rather than meet at a club, most likely in a drunken state rambling about stupid . |
