Ok, i am just wondering about everyones opinions about internet dating. I have done this once and I am in a internet relationship now but how can u trust who you are talking to if you have never met them? I have also found out that she has been having cyber sex with other people. I dont do cyber sex. But she asks me and i say no cause i am inexperienced with the whole sex thing. Would this be counted as cheating in your minds? To me it is but i think its mostly my fault cause i dont cyber sex her.

Getting back to the net relationships again, who does it here and how did it go?

Well I didn't have an internet realtion myself but my ex-gf hadwhile we were "involved"... Wich ruined the relationship we had... If it only would contain me and her it was no problem but she even didnt care anymore of our little son... So my experience on that is kinda sh*tty, but I've met some great people myself on the internet but to get "involved" with them? Hmmm I'll spend the night over it wink.gif

My 2 cents, Peace

I've never had an Internet relationship before. I don't think I could either...not with someone I've never met before. I prefer the idea of real-lif relationship where actually get to spend time and do things with the other person. Plus, I've heard so many bad stories of people in Internet relationships where one of the people has lied about something and it all ended in a big mess. I know someone who was in an Internet relationship and the other person lied about EVERYTHING including their name and where they lived! So...yeah, I have trouble trusting people on the Internet now, so I couldn't do the Internet relationship thing.

I have a lot of really cool Internet friends though. I like meeting new people on the Net...just not for the Internet dating thing.

Never done it myself, dont ever intend on doing it but I'm not really against it aslong as you are careful are confident you know what you are doing. and so what if you dont want to have cyber sex (which I think is a stupid and pointless idea by the way) with her anyway, thats your choice and if she has a problem with that then its her problam and in no way your fault, this is obviously just my opinion.

Its really hard to trust one over internet. But if yes she is speaking to you nicely and seems to be good atleast in chatting for net fun once can continue to enjoy that... I heard seen some getting tying the knot after a brief relationship over the internet. For me this isn't an issue because I won't have one over the internet... I've never done in the past as well. But for some it works so don't let down yourself. It could be that way as well. Some girls do not trust whom they see and rather trust whom they do not see. lol

I was in an internet relationship several years back. This fella and I emailed each other long letters that would take hours to write every day. it seemed we talked about everything, and after a year and a half we were "in love" and we made plans to meet. We would have a vacation, travelling up and down California and the west coast.

It turned out to be a disaster. We just didn't... I don't know... click? in real life. I suppose it could have been worse, he could have been a psycho and killed me or something. When we met, I realized a few things that I think would be helpful to anyone in or thinking of being in this sort of relationship.

- People are only going to try and show the best side of themselves online. It's easy to hide your annoying habits and odd personality traits. There are going to be a lot of gaps in the other person's life that you don't know, and you will generally fill them up with the most positive things you can think of. What I mean is- a lot of this "person" is going to be just in your own head.

-You can't really tell if someone is joking or being serious, the tone of their voice, inflection... these things are important. This guy was much funnier in my head! He'd explain episodes of the love boat and make witty comments on them. I had no idea this was serious! It's very funny now, looking back.

-This one is important. When a person complains about the names that their friends and co-workers call them, and how those people treat them- take note. These people really spend time with this person and they know what they are talking about.

I've got lots more. I just don't want to bore you all. I hope I got the point across, at least, that the whole thing is usually not a very good idea.

Theres no point,
People can just lie,
Because a sexy 18 y girl could really be MICHEAL JACKSON!
I know, thats sick. But the concept is true.
Just meet people face 2 face and really get 2 know eachother.
Dont end up like HoRuS...JOKE,LOL.

Awww... Michael Jackson. Now, even if I wanted to have a date by Internet, I donīt think Iīll be able to get out that idea of my head. biggrin.gif

No, I donīt like internet relationships... true relationships are full of doubts and fears... I donīt need more mistery about it. Itīs not that a girl could be a boy... itīs, I donīt know, if you meet someone in Internet and try to keep a relationship, how the hell can you be sure that she is not doing the same with more people. Well, that things happen in real life, but itīs even more complicated that way.

Simply I donīt like it. Maybe just for fun but anyway... you donīt know when you are playing with the other oneīs feelings. huh.gif
