Online datin'.

Well, I guess if I was dating someone on line and it was very meaningful to me, I wouldn't go out with someone else and would be trying to make preparations of some sort to actually meet the person on line etc to make it feel more real and well, have hopes of being with the person someday. If I had been dating someone on line for a while then I doubt I'd want to date someone off line.

However, things happen and people change and if the interest in the person online is just gone, well I'd break it off. I wouldn't cheat on the person but just as in real life if the relationship feels dead it just is so I'd end it to let that person go on with her life as I would with mine. In the end, as with any relationship, it depends on how a person feels and if you do love someone there's a kind of commitment there. If not, then it probably should be ended.

 

You cant date online silly. Real people ftw.

 

I heard this story of a guy had been datin' a lass online for several years (They were in their late teens). They decided it was time to met up (They went to either ones home). They said hi to each other n' that was it. The guy could'n't speak to her, lol.

At least he wasn't a 40 year old man still livin' with his parents.

 

i've dated someone online ONCE! it didn't turn out so well for me...

 

well for one.....this thread sounds funny....

but anyways

i would wait it out, or just confront the person online and tell them to meet up in real life

that would probably clear all doubt.

 

yeah, i'm gonna give real life dating from a spin. actually telling the girl i love her and hug her is way better than doing this:
*hug*

 

I think IRL relationships are ultimately better...All my online ones didn't work out--Well, not true...I've probably had three online bfs and they were basically my role-play buddies...Or just people I liked talking too. Nothing...Major...Except for one who wasn't worth all the trouble I went through ><. I'm just too shy IRL so...I've gotten use to being single >>;

 

Dated onlnie, this happened to me while doing that. I stayed loyal to my e-gf. Hel lI dumped a girl to be with my online gf, so I've been through both sides of this problem

EDIT: This isn't a 'onlnie vs realz' debate. You want that go to that section on here that makes god cry at humanity and laugh at the existence of IQ's. It's more of a 'would you cheat or dump on your online other'

 

Ehh . . . not a fan of online dating, but considering this is a hypothetical situation . . .

If I was indeed dating someone online, while someone else who was just as appealing came into my life in reality, I'd probably stick with my online other. I'd most likely consider the reality being to be one of my close friends, to whom I love to talk to in my spare time, however, I will still not betray my online other. It does not seem right for me to fling one for the other, just because one is virtual, while the other is real. The virtual other is just as real as the other one, all you have to do is actually find them in reality. They too, like you, is a real person, and they do in fact exist. So, in my opinion, it's equivalent to that of dating in reality. I'd not have the heart to go off with another in reality, ditching my online other.

 

People are bein' cereal in the spaz zone...scary stuff.

 

I knowz rite? Dey dink der in intellect talkiez D:

And so ends my l33t tlk D:

 

for once i say GO SHADOWJAK 8D

 

...For once? 0.o

 

Aye!

Intelligence in the spaz zone is frowned apon, therefore, everyone in this thread that answered cereal, must all recieve 40 lashes. *whips*

 

can i help you with that kitty ? <:3

 

That is amusing. It reminds me of this episode of South Park where a girl and boy meet up that are online daters and they both say hi and run off to go talk on their computers to each other again because they couldn't manage to do more. That's just funny in the end. lol

I so agree. That's why it's kind of important to me if I was to vest time in an internet relationship I'd waste the money to talk to the person, get a vid cam to see the person etc. That way you know who you are deciding to even be with. Before that I don't think I'd ever agree to it. One never knows if that 20 some year old woman is a 45 year old, 350 lb guy in his undies talking to you. *shiver*
