I have been on here 3 years this October, I have made some fabulous friends both men and women and pose a question for both genders. Do you think you could live without an internet "Cyber" world and go meet a person in your everyday life that you could have a great rapport with and get a "real situation" between you, like dating used to be, or is this the new way most divorcees or people that have hurt issues go?. I am not trying to put guys down here or women for that matter but feel a lot are just on here to play so called games....whats your take on this???. Incidently I have a friend whose 21 tear old marriage broke up because of his surfing late at night on a website just like this...

Its the modern world we live in and its hard to back-track with anything. Finding alternatives to microwaves, cars, mobile 'phones, etc. Though there is an element of "detachment" involved on the Internet, whether that be anonimity, hurt-free or playing games, without a doubt.

With regard to your friend, there must have been conversations/warnings that this was a problem. He chose to continue, she chose not to accept it....... he lost a lot but was clearly prepared to?

You Have a friend who's marriage broke up because of surfing, but that isn't the internet's fault is it ? scold He, or she was being naughty and got in too deep right ? devil
I think I would stop the date site if I had a woman in my life.

Lovely to see you EE wave and a very relevant question. As someone from our age group I have certainly found this internet dating to be a very good resource for finding someone but if I didn't have it then I would very likely revert to just stalking someone (only kidding). I think the key to finding someone in the real world without the availability of internet dating sites is to enjoy those things that interest you that involve interaction with others like an educational course in art or what ever strikes your fancy. If the power went out for a couple of weeks I'm sure that many of us would find a kindred spirit as we would then have something in common. Luckily I found my lady through this very dating site but it is just one of many options open to us. As for your friend, I suspect the marriage wasn't as healthy as it appeared to be or he wouldn't have been looking elsewhere. cheers

I agree Jeeps. If I had a 'real' person in my life I probably wouldn't be on here entertaining myself. I assume he'd be entertaining me laugh And as for the 21 yr marriage breakdown guy, he may well have been 'dating' in real life too but never got caught. Maybe its just me but if I was married or even had a boyfriend it would never occur to me to join a dating site.heart1

For any rapport in a relation there should be a communication medium.If everything is like a kind of dumb then nothing will happen.Internet acts as only communication medium like a conversation only........wave

I do the old-fashioned dating thing. This cyber world is a wonderful tool to connect with people I never would have contact with otherwise, and is a stepping stone for dating. hug

Not to mention that the bonus is that my intention was not really to make female friends or connect with people around the world, yet, I have done just that and it is a wonderful thing thanks to Sites such as this.
