Dpd,

Was touched by your "in tune" reply...

It must be just all of the Irish guys I have met that are superficial sh*ts!!

You have restored my faith in men..... maybe :o)

A good friend of mine's brother met his wife online. He's Australian, she's Canadian. He eventually moved there and they got married, after quite some time dating online they met up and it was fairytale henceforth!
Awwww...
Actually I know a couple of people who've got married after meeting someone online. I guess there are always going to be happy endings as well as bad ones. Does it have to do with what you put out there? What your expectations are?

One of my sisters has had 3 relationships that started online (she`s 42)
Her current one is still going but I don`t believe they work that well as she never seems to be her old self.
My experience of people that meet online is they "don`t get out that often"
I`m sure there are like all circumstances one`s that did & do work but personally it`s not for me, i like to "Shop" with a more hands on experience.

I think it's more than possible...I met my last two exes online, then in real life, and my current who is living with me is another one. BUT I might add I live in LA where it's easy to meet online then in real life without it being weird because we have 14 million people in this city. Myspace is the bane of my existence and a wonderful thing all at once. :P

I've met a few people face to face after chatting to them online. A few of them were liars and hiding truths but if that's the case, you just don't chat to them again. It's easy to spot a liar because they end up forgetting which lies they've told when they tell too many. Apart from the rear ends who are online for all fun and games only, I believe there are some nice genuine people out there who would make good internet-chat and also good real-life partners

I've met a few people Ive talked to online in real life, and there wasn't anything different about them. if anything, they seemed to be so much better in real life.

but i met a guy online, and we've been talking for 18 months now. we're completely committed to each other, we just haven't seen each other yet. its somewhat of a rough patch when we talk about it. we both live in the same state, but we're still 400 miles apart. It's hard to keep the relationship but at the same time i cant imagine losing it because its all I've known for the past 18 months and he's become a bigger part of me than i ever though a person could be. its like a double edged sword situation.

Unless I already know the person or they are within my social circle already, I tend to stay away from meeting people online. It's more to do with not being sure of who you really meet and the feeling if the person you are communicating with is lying, right for you or even a bit of the weird side. And I know it's ironic that I'm writing this online but I probably won't get along with people who spend a lot of time on the internet; I don't know much about computers and prefer going out. =P

I'm the foremost expert in online dating. I've used plenty of sites, written dozens of adverts for myself and others. I've even built them myself. Most of my relationships have happened due to an initial online advert.

And I can tell you all with absolute certainty that online dating is a total waste of time and you're much better off just asking that cute receptionist / store person / random for a date when you see them next.

Yea...online dating isn't that preffrable...I mean i've dopne it before and some have worked out perfectly and some have not....but most of the time they havent.

It depends on your expectations. If you are realistic and ready to be totally honest chances are high that it will work.
