That's great...it can happen!
Actually, I met mine on the 'net by accident. He hit me up & I chatted w/ him out of boredom. Next thing I know we're together. He ended up moving from Atlanta to Chicago for me. We've been together ever since! :heart: We're engaged to be married - no kids yet.

i guess it's all about how open minded you are too the possibilities....

it's just another way of meeting people
 
I once dated a woman I had met on the net. Same thing as you Janet, she started chatting with me and it turned out we were from the same city.

Something else in common, you both have grade "A" booties ;)

LOL I know she had to - you know you were askin' her what her booty looked like before anything else!! ;) & if she likes Krispy Kreme's!! LOL
 
Sort of after my ex and I broke up signed up for one of those internet dating things. No bfs out of it yet but all and all I like it better than the club thing.
 
I think the internet is a better bet than meeting someone at a club or bar.

Everyone speaks of safey - or that they could be a wacko or a serial killer.
Please explain to me how that stranger you meet in a public place can't also turn out to be a wacko or serial killer?

yeah definitely...club thing is sooo superficial to me. At least on the 'net you're forced to get to know one another before anything. He & I were in a long distance relationship for a while but we knew each other inside & out... :qt:
 
Met my wife in one of those after hour clubs where everyone is drinking rebdbull and rolling.... I think we were the only two in the place NOT on something....

internet peeps would creep me out... never know what kind of weirdo you might get...

LOL EXACTLY!! Oh my God!! That's right on point! People have said that to me as well...the person next to you on the train that you take everyday to work could be a serial killer... you just never know!

It really depeneds I don't think it is the same now as it was years ago much more mainstream. IMO you can meet the one any where.
 
i'm old fashioned. i still get women through chilvary and just smooth-talking in clubs. I avoid the 3-month email, chatting bullshit cycle just to find out one person is fat and has a zombie personality while driving in a car.

Couldn't agree more....

The possibilities are endless as to the people you meet.

I have been doing "the net" thing off and on for about 2 + years and I have never actually met a wacko. The people with screws loose give themselves up very quickly. There is no "chemistry" or attraction to mask someone with issues.

Although, I must say I have been major lied to. Ah well, as if that don't happen in the "real world". LOL

Seeing them in person and watching their mannerisms and how they interact with people, it would be much easier to see that something was 'off' than by chatting over the Internet....

true about it being much more mainstream now...

One thing though about real vs the net, I think it is nice to know for a fact that it is not a 50 year old transexual man instead of the 19 year old hottie you thought it was that you just spent 3 months talking to....

I don't chat for months... If a guy sparks my interest after reading their profile and xchange of email or two, then I give my cell. I have no time for blah, blah, blah...

I disagree. It is very hard to hide being a wacko when you are only words on a screen.

Ah....so you are more of a WAM BAM type gal....there is a shortage of those these days.

well, you still can watch their mannerisms when chatting - w/ web cams. Personally, I didn't do the chat thing w/ him very long. We talked over the phone most of the time - good thing our cell phones had 'free long distance'.

Hmmmmm am I that transparent LOL.
 
beastboy said:

Xctly... I have no time for nonsense. I can wait to meet if it is a scheduling problem. I have nothing but time. But I have zero interest in xchanging tons of blah, blah, blah.

I have family and friends for chat.

I meet, if there is chemistry and interest - great. If not then we part after a short while and say, "There is one more interesting person I met."

Then I holler, "NEXT!" LOL

Assuming that technology is available. I'm sorry, I think it would be very easy to disguise being a nut or pretending to be someone you're not via chat. While people are still able to do this in person, I would think it wouldn't be quite as easy for the reasons I already listed....
 
Yep. Eight years ago.

We used to joke about it -- "Internet romance -- on the next Geraldo!!" Now it's so common that no one gives it a second thought any more.

I met a girlfriend on line a long time ago. She was really a cool girl actually. Distance made us drift apart. I kept in touch for a few years but haven't spoken to her for about 4 years now. :)
 
Most people go to the net, let's be honest -- cuz they're ugly or undesirable and can't get it from clubs. I've seen dating sites. Good lord -- FUGLY city!

I think many people are just in love with the ROMANTIC NOTION of falling in love over the net. A dream that the other person will turn out to be this perfect person we've always wanted. Your knight in shining armor.

But reality is -- SOONER OR LATER it's still gonna have to boil down to a personal physical relationship. With the same pitfalls as having met the person in real life last week. You'll still have to go through the same b.s. as everyone else.

Only differnce now -- instead of meeting someone last week, dating for a week and finding out it ain't working. Now youv'e wasted 4 months, expensive flights, moving costs, and now you wake up in the morning going "WTF did i just do????"

Plus sex life sucks when u date online. hehe.
 
I know I'm happy w/ my fiancé...works for some, doesn't work for others! Luck of the draw I guess. I wasn't looking for someone "perfect"...as long as we're perfect for each other!

Tell the truth....he saw that ass pic first, didn't he?
 
I know a girl from Illinois that met an English bloke through the internet, hooked up, and they now visit each other in their respective countries every 3-4 months. Crazy.

From Chi, IL - but don't look at me!! LOL

Happy in mine!! :qt:

LOL nope...
I didn't have ass pics - I took that pic @ a studio for him.

I did have face pics on my page - so he knew what I looked like... Later he did see my body via web cam... & later on he visited me, was very happy with what he saw in person. Said everything about me was better in person.

I humbly disagree... it's just another way of meeting people. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. Just like any other way for people to meet.

I think that as long as people are real about it then it is ok. You have to learn to separate the "internet buds" from people that you would actually have a relationship with....

Still stranger things have happened.

I know of 2 married couples that met while on vacations... One, she was US vacationing in Greece. They kept in touch, she went back once then he came to states and married her. The other was French who met Argentinian, they met married and settled in US.

When two people want to be together there is no obstacle that will stand in their way... conversely, if one does not want to stay in a relationship there is nothing that will hold them there.

Me, I can't get to the second date LOL

*blink* And what did you expect him to say? You look better over a modem?

MissJanet79, can I be your batchelorette party?
 
d3track said:
how many avatars you gonna use today gg?

lol

missjanet...do i also get the invite?
Hmm...Bacherlorette parties are for the ladies...but if you're gonna put in work like DialTone, then fine by me! LOL :qt:
 
I don't think so

but anything is possible I guess

I like the unpredictable nature of being and meeting in public

you get tghe true vibe of someone ..........

and thats valuable information

internet allows to much preperation, and the potential of masking your personality
 
wave a few $20's in my face a day or two before payday and ya never know....LOL
 
MissJanet79 said:

hell yes, i could use some extra money

but ya gotta be nice, last time i did a party i got all scratched up from finger nails
:worried:
 
ahhh internet love. the digital miracle

sorry but i need to see potential mates up close and in person before i invest time into them. like razorguns said, it's ridiculous to spend a month or two emailing and IMing and blah blah until you finally meet them and the critical physical attraction isn't there on somone's end. then you get to go through the awkwardness that is politely brushing them off or having it done to yourself. what's even more totally awesome is the fact that people always use the absolute best pics where the lighting is perfect and maybe it was only taken from the waist up to hide the fact that instead of a right leg, they've got a termite-ridden mailbox post for a leg or a cloven foot. no thanks! sure there are exceptions to this where people get married and have a thousand babies, but the odds of that happening are slim.
 
if it ever came down to the point where i couldnt get girls in person, i might try it.. but hopefully that day is far away
 
One of my best friends met his wife on the net. She lived in Florida, he lived here in Tennessee. They'll been married 3 years this month.

I think people put such stigmas on internet dating. We think it's weird or people that do it are freaks. Well, honestly, the people on this board who make friends off of Elite could be in that same category. I've made a really awesome friend or two off this board that I haven't even met. And yes, I believe that you can fall as heavily in love with someone from the internet as you could with someone you meet in real life. You can love their smile, sense of humor, the sparkle in their eyes, personality, etc. just as much. Those are things that makes a person special to you, not how you met them. Any obstacles can be overcome, including social stigmas.

what?

how the hell do you get to know someone when you have no idea who they are or what bullshit story they are feeding you.

At least when you meet someone face to face it is pretty easy to decipher whether they are filling you with bullshit, unless you are totally brain dead. Your instincts will also tell you alot when you meet someone face to face.

Not really...I can tell either way...Men usually talk a lot of bullshit at a club... it's just too superficial to me. I used to love hittin' the clubs but only to socialize w/ my friends/sisters & DANCE! I couldn't stand the whole hook-up thing. I stopped going after a while b/c I was tired of getting hounded by guys like desperate salesmen! I'm sure many females on the board can agree...it's HARD being a woman at a club!!
 
I know a guy who married a girl sight unseen. they did the internet thing for I dunno how long and he asked her to marry him over the net. She moved to atlanta and they got married the day she arrived...no idea what happened.

that's exactly my point........when you meet someone face to face, you get a pretty good idea of what's going on.

Over the net, how the hell can you have any idea of who you're talking to.

It's a alot easier to bullshit someone when you don't have eye to eye contact with that person.

Ain't that the truth? While I was in the Bahamas, I had to keep my best friend close by so that he could help me out if I needed him too. Plus, this girl that I met down there used the buddy system when guys decided to get a bit too fresh. I danced with her more than I did them. lol.
 
to illusrate my point, you only have to look at the number of bullshit artists that have passed through these boards at one time or another who turned out to be total fakes.

Yeah I did the same thing...but it still gets annoying! Then they get all mad... as if EVERY female in the club is there to meet a guy. Not to mention, in crowded clubs, when guys grab you & walk away...rub your ass etc... That pisses me off. These are 25+ year olds actin' like fools. I'd rather not even bother! & now, I don't have to anyway...Thank God! It's a JUNGLE out there!
 
there is a programme on in England at the minute calle 'e-love', where people who are internet bf and gf meet and see if they hit it off, nine times out of ten they don't, there is no spark


also I hear male prostitues trawl the beaches of the bahamas after white women and their money, did you partake?
 
thats why meeting girls at school is the best way

you are sober(usually) plus it's just real talk, none of that bs you hear at parties and clubs
 
>I was tired of getting hounded by guys like desperate salesmen!

Typical hot chick attitude.

Us guys *WISH* we could be in a position where hot women would hound us all night!

Let's face it, you love that attention. Imagine going to a club and all the guys ignore you. Then you'd be the first to go home and go "WTF? Why didn't anyone pay attention to me????".

Some of those guys "hounding" you -- may have just been nice guys saying hi, and just wanting to make friends and conversation. That's what I do. I'll say hi to ugly girlsk, fat girls, anyone. I like meeting people and i never meet someone just to do some "pick-up" line. But when a simple hi gets treated with a total f.u. attitude -- well screw her. I tell her attitude is a total turn-off and honestly i could give a rat's ass how she acts.

Blahhh...c'mon now! It's annoying... Conversation is one thing - but then when you do, & then they try to ask for your number they act as if you led them on! It's hard - you don't understand. Usually I'm with a group of people so I don't bother w/ anyone... sometimes it's a few of us sittin' in the lounge & we talk to everyone ... but when you got guys on the dance floor grabbing on you like they're your man, or sayin' something like "what's up love"..."hey baby girl" etc. etc... you just walk away from that!
 
Oh well you hang out at those "velvet rope", "short-hair", "night at the roxbury", "pick-up joint" type clubs. That's why. The meat-market clubs.

I avoid these places cuz like you said -- it's just guys dressed up looking the same, drunk, running around hitting on every chick, using pick-up lines. And all the women have their guard up.

I like rock clubs. I like clubs with live music and bands. I like biker bars. I like places where i can chill with bros, everyone dresses the way they want. We all know each other in the club -- and it's a fun little hang out scene with no bullshit. Usually those clubs, everyone is more relaxed. Not so loud. People are more open -- not attitude -- and it's WAY easier to meet cute girls and talk, chill, get to know each other, drink, etc.

Funny -- i've been to those short-hair pick-up clubs, and i actually got women by doing the exact opposite. NOT hitting on chicks. Just stood there and women would feel less threatened and just come talk to me. Boy would the rico suave's there get jealous. hehe. :)

Ahh you shouldn't judge... actually I've been to every kind of club/bar imagineable... Sometimes, we'd go to this lil' place where they'd play latin music & we'd dance the night away... I'm not into all that kind of attention - flattery is fine but too much attention is madness!
