Well, this is a “different” kind of online dating, but my boyfriend and I met through a mutual friend’s Facebook page! All three of us — him, me and our mutual friend — are in the same business (journalists) and so we were able to observe who each other was and what we talked about and liked before we ever “met.” Once we met online, we followed it up with longer conversations by email on Facebook, and then by phone and text; and shortly met thereafter (on his birthday). It was a great way to get to know each other in a reasonably safe/protected setting — in that we both knew the mutual friend — and so far the relationship has been a delight. We’re now living together and at least one of us is hoping for an engagement soon 🙂 BTW, years ago I wrote about the E.E. Robbins “Engagement Ring Store” in Seattle for a magazine article. Great stuff! 🙂

I think it’s best to let things happen naturally.

It’s not my thing personally, but I can see how it could work for some. I’d rather meet someone in person because you can be anyone you want to be while behind a computer screen.

I dont have an online dating experience, but i’m all for it. My friends have met their significant others thru online dating sites, specifically Match.com. I think it saves people from getting to know someone who doesnt share the same interests or values. Its also great for those who don’t like the clubbing scenes (which isnt the greatest place to meet anyone anyway). As long as the person is cautious, i think its a great idea. Theres a lot of scary people in the internet world, but theres also scary people in the “real” world.

I always thought it was kinda cool. But i never tried it. For me love was right under my nose. I met my boyfriend of 2 years at our work site. Been happy & in love ever since. 🙂 But to those that do like and do online dating is to be careful.

I am all for online dating! I rekindled a friendship with a friend from back in high school days last christmas, he came home for the holidays and we kept in touch via text and facebook, skype occasionally. He is in the Army and was stationed on the East Coast, while I’m on the West. This May he was stationed in Germany, with a 9 hour time difference. Set your clocks early and get on when you can talk. We’ve been dating for 10 months and recently got engaged! We’ll be married the week of our 1 year anniversary (xmas)!! And then I It is what you make it, and if you have faith and trust long distance and online relationships work if you want them to! 🙂

I am a full time student and I work full time. I barely had time to date and yeah I did go out with my friends friday and Saturday nights but the guys I were meeting there were looking more for a one night stand then a relationship so my best friend put me on a dating site and then told me that they did and I had a date. I was really frustrated that they had did that but I went because they promised some poor guy I would and you know I had so so much fun. We dated for awhile and realized we wanted a little bit different things but we stayed great friends we still hang out. I did go back to the website but I will say I did meet the love of my life at a chilis but you never know who’s on the other monitor could be the love of your life or in my case a best friend. It never hurts to try but always always be careful!

Online dating isn’t for everyone. Sometimes work schedules don’t allow others to go out & meet others. I’ve tried it and I met a great guy who had the same work scheduling issues that I had. A year later & we are still going strong.

Online dating is a DO! I met my fiancé, who got my ring at Robbins Bros in Dallas, on match.com. There are definitely some “interesting” people out there, but if you’re smart & honest & trust your gut, you can find a good one. I was hesitant, but I’m so glad I did it!

I have tried onlie dating and it hasn’t turned out that well. The guys were different from what they appeared on their profile or were looking for something I wasn’t willing to give them. I finally quit it and accidentally met the most amazing guy in person and we have been dating for a while now and I could’nt be happier. So it could work for some, but for me, well I wouldn’t try it ever again.

I just feel that online dating is not safe. No matter how many background checks they do on people. I rather meet the guy myself and see what catches my eye…

I’m totally for online dating for me because i’m not the kind of person who go out in club and i wanted, when i was single, to met somebody with the same values of me. I met my actual girlfriend not on the dating site where i was subscribe but on a social activities site. We talk online for a couple of weeks before we saw each other and now we are together for more than a year. I have 1 child et she has 3 and there is a lot of love in our family.
