I have often felt on the fence with this topic. I see many benefits to just meeting, developing and building a relationship with some just online without ever meeting in person. using via text messages, phone calls, video chat and other social media to communicate. ...and that is ok. yet i still have that old school mentality of actually having human contact with someone i am involved with romantically. the physical connection has so many benefits... as with most things in life there are pro's and cons... same would go with dating online compared or in contrast to physical dating in the really real world. So folks let me know what y'all think. Thanks...Rev@32

It's much better to meet in person....online is tough....I don't chat, I prefer to video call to see if the person is real lots of catfishers out there....

That's not a relationship in my books. Having someone by your side when you're happy, when you need someone to have your back and a shoulder to cry on - emails or words wouldn't be enough for me.
If I was interested in forming a relationship then I would meet offline ASAP. You never get to know anyone unless you meet them.. body language is about 90% communications so the spoken word means so little in comparison. That’s just me!

It should be called online introductions or similar, not online dating.
Online is just the precursor to dating. It is not dating. Dating is when you meet the person physically. See if there is an attraction both internally and externally, and if so, potentially move on to a relationship.
The internet just acts as the medium for the initial introductions.
I actually would be interested in how many people see chatting with someone via internet/social media as a relationship and never had a real life relationship.

Loving someone and sharing your life with them can be great. I do wish that whoever is looking for that to find it. Just chatting to someone via social media wouldn't cut the mustard for me.
I do think it is enough for some people that simply can't or don't want a regular partner.

I meant re-populating for the future
I would find an online relationship weird, and frustrating.
I like normal interaction. Waking up together, eating together, making love together, chatting over a coffee, walking together, even arguing together. At least it's real.
Online relations can be a very painful thing, especially when you allow yourself to grow feelings with the time... And then find out you are going nowhere with that... Take the easy road, settle for the comfort, that's what most go for...
How do u expect me to choose between the 2 ? It is convenient to communicate online, up until the point where u have a need to meet the person in person. I'm very picky, so this way I'm not wasting my time, and effort.

Hi, your right Krema that some online relations can be painful, but best to meet up and check out its real between both to move forward))) easy road and comfort can become lonely and waste of life...
