I do feel sorry for her, but she should have been more careful. Look at all these problems in the world today to do with people targeting women and children through online chat and dating things.

You have to be so careful. It seems a bit strange that this person she was dating was a woman too. Was she a lesbian or was she just trying to lead her up the garden path?

my karate teacher met his finacee online. She lived in Peru and he in NC, and he went down there to meet her and they hit it off; they are getting married tomorrow! In some cases things turn out all right, but I think usually they don't. Personally I wouldn't do it because it's too dangerous.

david and i first contacted each other online, but we were put in contact by a 'mutual friend'

Ive dated online before,and i dont know why i did but i guess i was feeling lonley.But i find that,when i was dating on the net,it didnt feel like a real relationship.I still felt like finding someone near me to date. But i am interested in a guy online,but were just friends who write letters and emails back and forth.As a matter of fact,he sent me a lovely CD for christmas.

But over all i dont think its a bad thing to do.

I tried to do this dating onlilne thing but my spirit was against it. I didn't have peace so I didn't even progress with it!
I just believe that God knows the place and time when you'll meet your mate! Forcing things to happen as you want them too is a big nono!

My Mom is getting married August 14 of this year to someone she met online. I've met him and chatted with him over the phone several times and I'll be going to his place (Branson, Missuri) for the wedding. If anyone lives near there lemme know and I'll say eh from Canada to ya

my brother met his girlfriend online, but she was a friend of a friend who hooked them up. she's down here now, and they're planning on getting married.

my story is similar, although i met my friend's cousin when he was down here for a weekend in November. we've been emailing and calling ever since. and if you saw my other post, he did come down here a few weekends ago.

I got to know him very well, but as far as meeting someone out of the blue, i would caution anyone not to meet that person alone for the first few times. Something could go drastically wrong.

I agree, the first time my Mom went down to visit she brought a couple friends of hers (one of which is a cop

)

I think that on-line dating is great, if you're safe about it (IE, if you're a teenager or someone who's young, etc, it's probably not a good idea to go out and meet someone alone). The big problem with on-line dating is that anybody could be on the other side--someone might say they're twenty, free of a criminal record, working in such-and-such business--but they could just be playing on your emotions just for fun. However, with on-line dating, there's indifference to someone's appearance (because you usually see what they look like after you fall in love?), it makes it easier to confess how you feel over a computer rather than in person...and it's convenient. Sort of.

I have no problem with it.

What I do not like.. is someone already married and leaving their spouse for someone online..

i met my current boyfriend off the internet. mind you he turned out to be my step brother's best friend from high school haha but i still first met him on the internet.

i also met my ex boyfriend on the internet and there was no family connection or anything we went (i brought two of my guy friends for pretection!!) but i met him on the internet and we dating for around 9 months.

I've only met one person I met on-line in person--because he actually goes to my school! Went to a random chat room, he mentioned my school...needless to say, he found out what I looked like, and I realized that he was a retard, so we never corresponded again

As for internet relationships, I think they can work really, really well. My cousin met his girlfriend on-line about two-and-a-half years ago, and they've been dating for almost two years (seems very, very serious, too). I think that the internet, for a lot of people--especially the shy--is a great way to enter a committment without worrying about looking stupid.
