Actually…the guy I’m dating I met off the interent. That’s what my next blog will be about. The 1st guy and only guy I EVER fell in love with, I met on blackplanet. It was so unexpected. Barely sign on there, and I had a note. I gave him my Y!. After a few weeks passed…I was ready to delete him. He IM’ed me for the 1st time and from then on, we were always talking. Another few weeks, he had my #. Then after that, we had a date. Since the 1st date…we fell in love and still in love 3 years later. We broke up a while back but we still are friends. We still admit our love for each other. It’s amazing how things worked out for the both of us. After that, I really wasn’t afraid of the internet. But I was careful of who I speak to. I wasn’t looking for anyone. Things just happen. I never like admitting things to anyone because they always gave you that “you betta be careful, how could be a rapiast”. I know their just looking out for my well being.

I agree, it is amazing the trends in ‘courting’/ dating. I think some people just have a hard time finding people where they live and the internet makes it a lot easier. There are indeed risks, but any relationship no matter how it is acquired is also a risk.

My only concern is how places like eharmony and chemistry have over 20K visitors join a day. It does not make any sense. I joined eharmony one time. I was not impressed. They constantly spam you if you did not sign up to pay and on top of that it is like teasing… if you are interested in any one of the 10 first matches you get, you have to be a paid subscriber when they were ‘free’.

I start using the internet around 2001 and you’re right talking to the opposite sex online was ridiculous in most people’s mind. I’ve met a lot of cool people online and even tried the relationship thing. I agree take away the lies and fake pics and meeting someone online is an advantage .

Happy 2009 !

Meeting people online is fun, I think. I have dated two guys who I’ve talked to online. Nothing romantic happened, though, we just became friends, which is okay :) Happy New Year!

I’ve never really dated a guy online before. I’ve met a couple but nothing ever happened. I met my husband offline as well.

i-net dating smh… I remember blackplanet and all the guys always sending random messages like ma your cute blah blah can we cook up, crap like that. The car club that I’m in is from off the internet BUT that’s totally different from dating! My ex is from myspace BUT it wasn’t like we hadn’t met before, we went to middle school together and went to the same college coincidently lol. You ALWAYS have the best blogs.. I don’t comment, but NOW is a new year and I’m commenting hahahaaaaaa :smile: Deuces Sweety

Funny, I prefer dating my guys from the internet as well.

It’s great! A while ago, I use to be totally ashamed of getting dates online, but now, it’s practically universal.

OkCupid.com is the site that I usually goto. It’s free, and it’s full of interesting people (as well as creeps, we can’t avoid em!) there.

Lord knows a lot of people have done the internet dating thing. People hate to admit it, though. It’s not really a bad thing, in fact, I’ve met some pretty cool people from the internet who I am still friends with today. People have too much pride and get caught up in worrying about what other people will think about them if they admit they’ve met their mate from the internet.
