Is online dating a waste of time or am I wrong about this?
Sandra asked:
OK, apparently am turning 20 this month, never dated before and I kinda wanted to try it out. I’ve always thought it was stupid but now am considering the idea. Inputs please.

You should try normal dating first. Meet some people. Try online dating after you`ve had no luck.

It’s not a waste of time, I think it’s great. A lot of people I know have had success with online dating. I’ve never done it, but I’ve made friends online (craig’s list) and that’s similar.

waste. you never know who is a stalker, what they look like, how old they are! they could lie about everything they are. never believe the written word. only what you see. look for someone how loves you for you.

My cousin married a great gal two months ago, that he met on match.com. I wouldn’t call it a waste of time, it’s just a way to meet like minded people.
It’s no different than any other first date.

online dateing is bad you never know who you are taking to

if you answer all the questions and polls correctly, they will match you up with someone with the same interests and wh fit your criteria. i know 1 couple that met online, lived in the same town and never knew of each other. and now they are living together.i think its a great idea, and even if it doesn’t work out, you’ll know for next time. at least get your feet wet

waste of time! my cousins friend and didn’t work out well

Hmmm. I’m 20 too and basically am in the same situation. I don’t know though. A lot of people say online dating can be successful. Just be careful. Might as well give it a shot right? Might be fun to try if nothing else.

You know, if you’re 20 and not disabled, it’s so easy to find a date! and to add, dating websites are for losers. turst me you’re never gonna find a normal guy there.

It’s okay, it takes a while to meet someone who is genuine, but give it a try.
March 29th, 2008 at 6:05 am

cuz there mostly pervs

It can be difficult, I mean you’ll want to have him/ her there for dates, parties, hang outs or any social thing. Or just to have there. If emotions become strong enough, you could want to kiss or hug or even more depending on you, and you can’t due to the separation status built upon an online relationship. And if decided to take it to the next level and meeting each other it could possibly be awkward. Online, people remove shields and they will be themself because no body knows them, they can’t judge or make fun of them. So, if you meet in real life they could be different, their shield could be up then.
I think online dating is good for that shield purpose though, because they aren’t in disguise and you know who they really are. But be careful, you never know who is web surfing with you.

my mom met her current bf online five years ago and shes still with him and he is complete asshole who has nothing going for him..definitely not a good idea from what i have experienced

Personally - for ME I think its pretty rubbish - coz I HAVE tried it and most of the guys are losers who can’t get a woman the ‘natural’ way! lol
PLUS … I would just rather meet someone naturally while I’m out and about enjoying myself!
( Its HARD ENOUGH meeting a nice guy the ‘natural’ way …. So of course the odds are gonna be EVEN MORE NARROWER on the internet!!!! )

Some are and some are not a waste a time - I have a boyfriend that I meet online we been together for a year and two months. Some will say it’s a waste a time because what they see on TV or what they hear people talking about.but You just have to be careful. The way I see it is that OK people go out to clubs and they meet someone,They know nothing about them.How is the different from online? your just talking to them without getting to see them 1st and you have to find out what their really about.

actually i was thinking like you…until the day i signed up with and found the love of my life. well this is just me. my cousin did find his (now) wife on there too. not everyone gets this lucky. but hey…its worth a try, right?

There are good and bad people on the dating sites. Just try and use common sense. Be specific about things you will or will not tolerate. Ex: smoking, age limits, etc. Since you have never dated before, you really should give these sites a try. See for a list of good dating sites.
