What is the good part about online dating?

and what is the bad part of online dating?


I will like to know, because I have so many friends online
but that's it, I haven't dated anyone from an online website

your input will be helpful

The bad part is, ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE TOO FAR AWAY!! ..and even when they're not, to them a few hours is too far...

Good = Getting to know a guy a bit BEFORE you meet him IRL.

Bad = The guy you get to know a bit online....often isn't the guy you meet IRL.

You can block them if they make you mad

Oh boy,from experience I've met 3 guys on-line over the past 3 years.One I talked to on-line and the phone for 4 months before we met irl,he was just a user,one was too much into himself,and was trying to change my physical appearance to suit his needs,and the other was just plain psycho.Good thing is you can be selective,take it as slow as you want and just talk with him on-line for a while,try to find out as much about him as you can and hope he's telling you the truth.If he's too pushy,and wants to meet you right away and your not comfortable with that all you have to do is block him,hehe.Good luck,I'm not giving up,there's gotta be some good guys left out there,somewhere.

Good part- meeting lots of interesting people you never would have if you DIDN'T do the online dating thingy.

Bad part- meeting all the dregs of society who make you wanna swear off the whole online dating thingy.

I have MANY friends that met people online..dated,married, AND had children..So I know that it can be done..just not by me apparently.

I think Im gonna try and see was up...
I have always been afraid of online dating, I start to get to know the person and always find something wrong, I think it was because I really didn't fee safe,, but I believe you got to take a chance
sometime...I'll just get to know him online first

thanks guys your great,

Good Part:There ARE some people that take this stuff seriously..
Bad Part:You gotta work your way through the nuts to find the good guys.

your special lady of magic
nice to see you.. I will give it a try!!!

Its good to see you too..Its been awhile..I hope you are more successful at this than I am.

hope so 2

The good part about it. If you don't comnect as time goes on, it's easy to go your own way.


The bad part about it. You might end up with a stalker

I can wear my pjs and not be pretty......

bad thing is not being able to see them all the time....

My error was in thinking that dating sites would provide access to thousands of new people who I never could have had access to in "normal" life. This turned out to be true, but I hadn't realized that all of the new people would be billions of miles away, that the realistic opportunity to meet someone both nearby and compatible on a dating site was nil.

The other thing that I hadn't counted on was how many people on dating sites are crazy, completely divorced from any semblance of honesty, or both. The arsonist, the fake newspaper columnist, the one pretending to have been kidnapped -- it makes you think.

Not saying there aren't good people here -- there are, I've run across a lot of them. But the good ones are all very far away. As a dating "resource," I can honestly say I would not consider a dating site to be a viable option anymore.

Lex......I believe you attract the crazy ones...... Ive met lots of people from sites, not dating sites mind you but chatrooms and everyone was really cool!!!

No getting around it....!

But just look at all the stories you can write about!!!
