Does online dating mean you should be exclusive to one person , or do you think it's morally ok to talk to multiple people, considering there may be feelings involved?

I believe the virtual side of the online dating makes most people do things they won't find appropriate if dating in reality...
The window shopping is dangerous and gives an unrealistic confidence that you can put a lot in your basket and choose what to go to the check out later...
Giving the time and involving real effort to get to know someone you have a genuine interest in is the best way to go... It doesn't take long before you know if there's something or not...

Certainly, as long as you are close to a church or a bar where you can regularly go to confession and have all your sins forgiven.

What do you mean by online dating ?

Chatting to lots of people online seems normal.

Dating to me is actually meeting IRL

It's kind of normal in 21 century to start dating someone online and later on take it to real life...
Many people won't have a date for ages if relying only on meeting someone in the supermarket... dunno

If they come to the 'feelings involved' stage - I think that both people wouldn't want to continue talking to others anyway. :)

It's not easy to find someone online you can really like. You can meet many interesting people to chat with, but that's not the same. Once you get to know someone and you 'connect' - you should appreciate and cherish it - unless there are some obstacles for you to be together in reality, of course. :)

I agree, Mar

You are only chatting until you actually meet and start dating.

But dating means fixing a time place and date to meet. Otherwise even in the 21 st. Century. You are just chatting to someone as a friend.

I agree to a point but you can never know if there is chemistry until you actually meet face to face.

So many empty promises, to a point where I rarely raise my hopes of an actual meet!

Well, if I chat to someone as a friendly encounter, he will remain exactly that, a friendly encounter...I wouldn't call him a friend tho...and would not date him for sure...
May be I'm too backward and would not engage in multiple chatting with men who have other than friendly intentions...I'll give my time and attention to one only...

I mean, when people give the impression that you are exclusive.

With all the modern technology it's easy to get more realistic before it happens in reality...
There will be hardly anything that would turn completely not what one has expected...if you put the time and attention into work long enough...

One option per medium with a maximum total of three. Anything more is excessive even if there is plenty of you to go around. If your #1 came from online, 2 might be from the supermarket and 3 could be an old flame. Never allow all your lovers to come from the same venue, especially when it's the same supermarket someone's bound to catch you out.

When you're officially a couple this changes everything. Your one and only is your current girlfriend.

I assume you mean the distance thing.

I find that many people I've spoken to, have some sort of baggage, whether it be family or job related ties, which may be a hindrance in the future.

I mean, how many people on here have the ability to drop everything & relocate at a drop of a button, even if there is a strong connection?

Theres no guarantees that the relationship will last the distance.

It wouldn't be fair to ask someone to relocate , just in case things don't work out for the better.

Even dating local could be a problem, she is 100 miles away and has a career, family, and so on...
He has his family, friends and a job that he likes...
And it's 100 miles, right...
It's same with a 1000 miles, one has to sacrifice...
If you are on an international dating site you must have thought about this at some point...

But what if they all want to chat at the same time??
Maybe knowing the difference time zones would be more beneficial.
I.e. When one is comfortably tucked up in bed, the other is fully awake and focused, and so on!

Relocation is the last thing two people will consider before they are both willing and ready for that move, it could take years or just months, it could remain a LDR and be good enough for both...
Possibilities and options are countless...
Where there is a will there is a way...(my favourite )laugh

Ok, apart from the obvious expense, let's say you connect with a person & that person decides to visit, or visa verse. What happens after they go back home?
Long distance relationships are hard enough at the best of times.
