What do you think about internet dating?

[sunseeker]

i met a fella on the net recently and weve been getting on really well on msn and facebook. since my last fella left its been nice talking and flirting with someone else after all this time.

what do you think about it. is it safe? is it beneath me to find lurve on the internet or should i embrace it?

opinions please... as i may invite him out to the rock if the replies are good! :D

unless all his mates on fb are girls like me...... :eek:

Its Ok chatting to someone but you don't know them until you have met them in real life. They can be so different from what you expected.

Been there done that and not always a nice experience. Hope it works out for you.

Go for it Sunseeker, if I was in a position where I wanted to meet someone I'd have no hesitation. Yes, you have to be careful if you actually arrange to take it further and meet someone, but you really don't know anyone initially, wherever you meet them, unless introduced to you by a friend.

I know of several ladies who are meeting up with men this way. One of them has only just started internet dating and she's chosen 5 men to meet and as she says if they are no good, she'll have a supply to last her years and at least keep her amused!! :)

If you never meet up with them Sunseeker, as you say you've had some good fun chatting and flirting! ;)

Go For It!!
Invite him over for a week and see how it goes - if you find he irritates you or he feels he cant handle you atleast you can say you gave it a shot and can make a friend out of it..

Thousands of people are doing it these days so i dont think there is an issue of whether its right or wrong to meet people this way... Sometimes i think i should look into it as i dont get out much myself to be able to meet guys and date etc.

Go for it Definetly!!

My daughter got chatting to a bloke on a social networking site. A few weeks of chat, realised they had very similar sense of humour. Swapped photos and email addresses and as he lives locally they decided to meet.

It's been a couple of months now and they are almost inseparable. He's a lovely lad!

That's the spirit!! It's surprising how quickly you can bounce back meeting new friends. :)
