Online dating… true romance possible?
Written by admin on May 5, 2009 – 11:53 am -So, I've recently tried online dating…and it just doesn't seem like true romance is possible. Basically you're out there looking for someone because you don't want to be alone.
To me, love happens when you grow fond of someone…and start adoring them and the chemistry. Online dating seems to kill that natural procession.
Are you actually falling in love with the person or just trying to meet your need to have someone??..
Any thoughts on this??
I used to feel the same way you do about the situation. I met my current boyfriend online through a dating site. I didn't think it would work, but we've been talking for two months and started dating after a month. We mostly talk on the phone now because it's more convenient, but we still talk online and find whatever time we can to be together. We're both really busy so it's hard. Just make sure it's the guy he's posing as. You never know what kinda of people are out there. Good luck and hope this helps!

depends
I think it allows us to do more in depth questions..
I can weed out some just by how they answer questions..
also it provide opportunities to talk to someone before meeting them
it provides the opportunity of meeting many, in a short amount of time
someone who is only 5'7" isn't going to get to meet me—I'm just saying
someone who smokes……isn't going to get to meet me
someone who is a couch potato isn't going to get to meet me
it has some usefulness in my opinion
I don't see it as being desperate…
quite the contrary, I see it as being very PICKY

I personally don't believe in online dating sites. You could spend hours searching for someone you think you may be compatable with, but in reality true love will find you when you are not looking for it!

I think you need to take the fairy tale ideal out of the picture. I think having this idea that prince charming is going to sweep you off your feet once you meet on a dating website is unrealistic. I do believe that love will find you, not the other way around. But with the approach of dating websites, all of that goes out the window. I believe online dating is more about finding a compatible partner, somebody to share your life with…not so much about falling head over heels with somebody you just happened to cross paths with.

ITS NOT FOR EVERYBODY. PEOPLE HAVE FOUND LOVE THAT WAY, AND HEART BREAK THE OTHER WAY ASWELL, SO IT VARIES FOR PEPLE.

i've got mixed feelings about it… lol my english teacher met his wife (from Brazil) on an online dating site and they have been married for a few months and she now lives here in idaho, but i think it is for people who are desperate or just want to have a good time… i wouldn't date someone just from meeting them online.. i would have to see them and get to knwo them in person first for a few weeks… good question!!!

I honestly think that online dating is NOT the best way to meet someone. I mean, they could lie to you about every single thing in their lives. They could rape and kill you!I had a friend that had identity crisis through online dating. I would just stick around town and find a nice guy there.

It works sometimes. My mom's friends found their husbands online. But you can't trust everyone. I advise making friends over the internet instead of soulmates. Never meet them in real life. Just saying!

Well it really depends on how you're using online dating. Online dating sites are trying to facilitate the whole chemistry/fondness thing by showing you a range of people who are trying to find someone too. You must take the effort to date them in person before you "fall in love" and the chemistry you mentioned takes effect.
If you're referring to straight up dating online…. dating over the internet and not just using it to find someone you might be interested in… you're using it wrong and you won't find what you're looking for.

online dating is bad actually and its not true love or true romance yea you may say all these things like i love you ,your sweet buts its just words that come out because you want a guy to talk to . and normally you dont talk to the guy everyday and you dont see them also it could be dangerous because people can just go one google get some hot picture and act like its them and lie about age.
hope this worked

No, rarely works out, because the other person knows from the start what you want from them. But it is a way to meet people.
Be prepared for some disappointment before finding someone who is finally right for you.

i do think its possible to find true romance online,though i for one havent.chemistry and connecting stuff-they dont have to be physical,they just have to be mental,bcz love is mental,u dont need to actually see a person to love him,u just have to know that u love him bcz u have so much in common,or everything u want.i say the only reason why u havent found true romance is bcz ur reluctant to succunb to the possibility of loving smn online

It depends on how you go about it. I met someone online and have been with him for almost 2 years now. It's a very steady and stable relationship. Honestly, neither of us thought it would work either, but you have to take it slowly. The same rules apply, we have a lot in common, we compliment, support and entertain each other. We started out with the intention of being friends and it turned into more. We live an hour away from each other, but both lead busy lives. We move the relationship at OUR pace.
And here we are, making people sick with how much we're in love…after 2 years! Lol. Some people can lie about themselves online too, but not always. My point is, it can happen. Meet people for who they are, get to know them and give it time. The more someone trusts you, the more they show who they trully are. PLEASE DON'T RUSH. LOVE TAKES TIME! <3
