I think internet dating is fine. In fact i'm dating somebody off the internet, and our relationship has lasted longer than the average high schoolers relationship. I don't see anything wrong with our relationship, so what if we met on the internet. But to top that off my Uncle just got married less than a year ago and they met on the internet. He went fly over to where she lived and the first time he met her he proposed...so really you tell me is internet dating that bad?

I dunna know...... I mean if I was older then it would be cool but uh... right now. i don't think so. Well, i guess i can't really say that. Like.. I probably would meet somebody in person who I met online but I might be a little nervous at first. And it would be harder for me to trust that person. Just because of all the stories that I've personally heard on the news and all of that. I wouldn't want that to happen to me. But it's not really good to judge somebody else because of what other people have done. I try not to do that but in that kind of scenario it would be really hard for me.

I'm all for meeting people off the net. Thats how I meet my husband. You just have to be careful where you meet them at. We meet at the park where I had some of my friends around me and I didn't go off with him by myself for a month.

i met my boyfriend through the internet. i knew that he lived in adelaide, as did i so we decided to meet in a public place, with other friends as to make it safe. at the time, i had no romantic interest in him, as i was dating someone over in america. afterb we met, God told us to be together. now i love him more than i have ever loved someone, we go to church together and see eachother all the time. if ppl are in teh same town, i think its great to meet up, as long as its with other ppl and in a public place. me and john are heaps happy now, i wouldnt give him up fro the world! good luck everyone who wants to meet, i've met 2 ppl and i locve them both to bits hehe. bye,m kat

I will talk to people online but if I don't know them from my past or know them right now I won't meet them.

I agree with you too. And most of the people might be ugly and/or fat no Offence to anyone.

i think internet dating is for loser who can't get a girl friend

nijara88 just kidding

I don't want to say most people are bad but some are in life no one cares about the good and most relationships don't work out anyway

girls they play with peoples hearts.Like my friend his girl friend drove him mad.

I'm not tring to say that every one is bad but some people are and some don't have a life.

i think meeting people over the net is fine. i also think that saying most people looking for boy/girl friends on the net are pedophiles and crazy people is really just a stereotype.. most people out there are normal just like you, and not out to get anyone. you never hear about all the sucessful meet ups of internet pals, just the disasterous/stalkerish ones.

I think internet dating can be right and wrong in some instances. If a person finds someone on the net who they "click" with like Proteus mentioned, then it's perfectly alright to date them, I suppose. Although the internet is a very dangerous place, honest people do exist. People need to be very cautious on the information they give out, and if one choose to meet up with someone whom they've met online, I agree that they should be accompanied by a few people, just to be safe. But it isn't right to say that people who "date" over the net are anti-social, pathetic people who have problems. They're normal people, and if they find the right person and it happens to be over a computer, then so be it. As long as people are safe and happy, nothing else should really matter.

Does anyone approve of internet dating by themselves?

bextherex, you have a very good point and I like it.

It's definitely better to get to know people in the flesh. However it's possible people could hit it off over the internet… although it's a very dangerous business. Some of the hazards can be avoided by not giving out your address or phone number, and if you do decide to meet up with someone, taking a friend/parent along with you. I'd say people trying to find romance on the web probably have social issues they need to sort out though…

Different people have different views and these are my views and i want to here your views no matter what they are i want to here them an i sure some other people would like to too.

That true but people that there purpose is just to meet someone to have an relationship with because they have a fear of rejection in the real world dosen't mean that the internet is the solution they sould get to know people at school or in there neighborhood. Don't use chat rooms to find people find people that are real and not fake using false names and saying lies about themselves.

The internet can be a dangerous place but people are tring to make it safer than it is right now. I think you could help by using you common sense and not going out with some one you meet online you may think you know them but you don't unless you "really" know them have met them off the internet without talking to them on the internet.
