Are you really scraping the bottom of the barrel when you turn to looking for love over the internet?

I say yes. In fact, make that a HELL YES.

If you need to meet someone online in another country or state or town, you really mustn't be a very exciting or interesting person, and have little or no personality.

It isn't that hard to go out somewhere and meet someone nice, even if it is to a dive. You just need personality or charisma, something which is quite easy to fake online.

Maintaining relationships online is acceptable, because sometimes work or other committments may take precedence, but meeting people online??? That's for boring, crazy people.
 
Gotta say i agree wholeheartedly there. I find it all a bit icky and would never date someone i met on the internet, instead of in person. Blech.

i do agree... as you cant really know them if its over the net...

however, if there were no feelings involved, and then you ended up meeting in person (from the net) and only then started to feel something, that, i reckon, is fine - as its not a "net relationship"...
 
Well... as with everything else, "it depends".

The internet is just another place to meet people, is all. I reckon if you go "looking for love", in ANY place, you're liable to be disappointed and spend a lot of time sifting through hoards of wildly unsuitable people ;-)

I met my girlfriend online.. some chat room somewhere. We exchanged emails for close to two years, and we became great friends before anything else happened. We met in person once, when she came to sydney for a weekend - it just went from there. It's been going for 4 and a half years, and she's been living in sydney with us for 6 months.. Must be doing SOMETHING right :)

I couldn't agree more.

What's even sadder is people that claim to be "in love" with people they meet on the internet, despite the fact that they've never met, and often live in different states.

GET LIVES.

i must say, thats pretty damn amazing!
 
I found it easier to meet people online being in a different state, I would think it's sadder trying to find friends in a pub to be honest. Most people I know here in Perth are directly or indirectly through the net, kind of a 6 degrees thing happening.. meet someone then meet one of their mates IRL and so on.

Agreed that it's pretty sad to actually be trying to find love online, I don't beleive in that. It's OK to meet someone and then find out what they are like, but to decide that you are 'in love' before actually seeing them face to face is kind of odd.
 
Well Des has done it the right way. If you aren't looking for love and happen to meet someone online, form a friendship and then it turns into more good luck to you. It's easy to do and it doesn't mean your relationship is any less than if you met in a bar or at the footy.
 
I think the whole thing thats pathetic about all this is the "searching" more so than the actual happenings. I would be embarassed to explain to someone how i met someone that i met on the net if i was to be that way inclined....

I've never heard of anyone "searching" for FRIENDS at a pub - thats bizarre...

its not that meeting people on line is sad... its going on line and SEARCHING to find someone thats sad. why not go out and meet people in person, or even through people?

thats why, i think it's fine if you start anything only after you've met in person, otherwise theres no way to tell how the person really is!

I totally agree, I mentioned that in my first post on the subject.

Some of the 'online' people I have met and got on best with are the ones I didn't chat to on a regualr basis online before meeting them.

Hmm.. how long have you been together? I can sort of understand why he doesnt want people to know... i dont know, its sort of a bit geeky.... and there is a stigma, and it matters more to boys that they are cool!!!! :rolleyes:

same here... the guy im with atm if actually from bigfooty... we didnt talk all that much AT ALL for the first 6 months, and then earlyer on this season we had a bigfooty meet up at a match and i guess we just clicked. we've now been together for 8 months and really dont talk on the net at all (unless we happen to be on at the same time...).
 
What's really hilarious and sad at the same time, is someone screaming that they love someone they have never met, then going on about how they now hate the other person because the feelings are unrequited.

but is that not just a matter of feeling being hurt or let down somewhere along the line? whilst i do agree that its pretty sad and what not, i guess it is understandable...
