Would you consider dating someone you met on the internet?

Done it. Multiple Times. Get better dates too, cuz you can get more info before agreeing to the date than if you meet a stranger in real life.

I know people who have met on line (and not on dating sites) who have ended up very happily married.

Bear in mind that for them they had the opportunity to meet someone with similar interests that they may never have met in their usual social circle.

People should keep an open mind, anything is possible.

I would have sex with someone I met on the internet, but I would never date them.

Never , maybe if you knew them from the past and then just started talking . But if it's just some random dude , defiantly don't do it .

I am right now and he's awesome in every way :)

i've been with my boyfriend for years and we met on MySpace :)

I met a girl online about a year ago and we started talking. In 7 days coming from 5000 miles away she will be here. I hope in real life we will get along well, shes much prettier than any girl whom I have been with and we want the same things in life, so wish me luck. Ill either spend my life with her or send her packing!

no.

sure some people find love but... many people also find out the person they knew online is NOT the same person in real life.

sometimes it's a simple lie... person tries to hide their body shape and pretend to be fitter than they really are.

or they hide their gender

but overall what you see isn't always what you get

I think the internet is a good way to really go straight into the mind and see if you can truly be compatable with that person. I mean what if you have a truly unique personality and where you live you can't seem to find anyone with that personality?

it was the closest that I ever came to marriage, I still love her.

Im a guy and i dont like dating

I think people that you encounter on the Internet are the same as people that you find off of the web. There is no guarantee that someone is going to be a good fit for you if you meet them in a bar. I am not sure why the Internet has such a bad rap as far as adults making love connections.

Probably not, and I don't engage in any personal social interaction online anyway. I'm way too picky and Ipeople's ticks really get on my nerves so I like to know upfront if they have any weird issues like people who make weird noises or move any part of their body spastically or anyhting. I can't deal with that!

@carolann im someone on the internet...

I did, but it didn't go well... never again..

lol I have, but only because he was friends with one of my friends. Never again!

I've done it several times and it's generally turned out ok, provided the person is close enough nearby for me to meet them. No more dating anyone in Australia for me..

Not something I do, but I don't see any reason not to. If someone likes me, they like me. And maybe I like them. Why waste the chance of meeting someone great?

I do sometimes its fun :P

depends on the person
