I think internet dating can work for some, and not work for others. Just depends on the who, what, where, when, how, etc. For me internet is harder because I'm one who rather have actions instead of words...I believe actions speak louder than words.
It's harder to decipher one's true intentions online as to meeting them offline as well as the person's true personality. For me I just try, and take precaution on both ends.

Whatever gave you the idea that many of us here might actually believe in internet dating...? Perspectives can change over time, of course.

I just dont stress and when the rite guy comes around il know it. plus u can sit back and have fun on threads while ur doing it. and with less hard work u can sit at home with a cuppa lol, You get to meet ppl who u wouldnt normally come in contact with and thats a plus.

Amazing,what are YOU here for,then? ------ This thread is Archived ------
No I do not.
Believe in internet dating.
Because two people meet on a website? Does a black cloud develop and descend over it, because it is a person from a website?
I will add more to this, once I see some opinions.
For my children's generation it is normal, acceptable behaviour for them to meet people on sites, they are much more adept at than we are.
So what our parents think is that it is all really quite seedy meeting a person online.

It does give more opportunity but even though I'm new to this I"m leary of computers anyway(excellent source of info) and far as anything else I question. I prefer to physically see someone and look into they're eyes(window to the soul) so to speak and body language can not be substituted.Believe in internet dating.

Yes I'm sure there have been but percentage wise it's probably low and I wonder how many have lasted.

Yes, but are you talking just having a relationship online? I met my man from here, we live in separate countries. Although we have spent alot of time together, for me telephone and emailing is never enough.
So when we say internet dating, is it having a relationship just over the air waves or is it that we meet via a place such as this and then lead our lives as any couple who say met in a bar!

Relationship online? I wouldn't consider that dating, more like communicating which very well could be a stepping stone to a real relationship which I would think that is the primary goal of these sites for most anyway. I can see since I've been on here that some people use this to occupy themselves for entertainment purposes only and that's fine too.So when we say internet dating, is it having a relationship just over the air waves or is it that we meet via a place such as this and then lead our lives as any couple who say met in a bar!

Hmm. I guessed the question was more specific to dating as this is a "dating site" where you initially connect to meet again, so to speak: i.e., date If it was meant as an exclusive meet and stay online and date forever question, I strike my initial semi--sarcastic comment and side with the lady from Austria.
