I love when people say “I met this person online†is that weird. Is it weird? Not really … It really isn’t all the different from meeting someone out at a bar, club or wherever! Just like meeting people offline, you will find the good and the bad ones.

I met someone online before. I was with him for about a year and like you i used to get embarrassed when people asked how we met. i used to lie and say we met through a friend cos i didnt want people to think i was a loser lol. even though i actually met him on myspace and not a dating site. but i dont think its a big deal. almost everyone uses the internet these days so your gonna meet some freaks and some really nice people along the way. its just another, easier way of meeting people.

I met my current boyfriend on MySpace. I wasn't looking for anyone either. Regardless of the way you meet someone, you need to take time to get to know the person. There is NOTHING wrong with online dating. You can meet a loser in a bar, in a club, on the street, in school, or in church! LOL You always want to be cautious.

I met the guy I'm dating on the internet as well. Nothing wrong with it.

I don't mind it at all seeing as I was in one for some time. Better connection than seeing each other first.

The only thing that sometimes I get the weird look like, "you have an online relationship? oh really...". As if it's some desperate move or pathetic. People hate it when they don't try it or been in it. I was like that before and until I realized it's perfectly fine (if you know what you're doing) and in psychology class - they say online relationship tends to be the ones that last longer because you're uninhibited and are open to talk about anything and everything. As oppose to seeing them in person and keep things more private.

ditto to celly. i hate when people give me that look, eff off already. it's 2008. it's all about the internet baby, whats so weird about internet dating anymore? i internet dated phil for atleast atleast 4 years although we talked much longer, up until this school year.

I think it is really a good way to meet someone compatable. If you fill out all those papers honestly, and are matched up with someone that likes the same things, same interests etc--then I think it is the ideal way to meet people. But, you have the honesty factor to deal with and what if you became involved with someone who appeared to be one way and then he was not that way at all--just knew all the right answers. It's easier to be dishonest 'on-line' than when you are looking at the person. That's very unfair.
