What Do U Guys Think About Internet Relationship by heather(f): 9:28pm On Jun 15, 2009
it looks like it is the order of the day now
Re: What Do U Guys Think About Internet Relationship by justwise(m): 9:49pm On Jun 15, 2009
Yes online rela/ship is very common now, is the age we live in now, it works for some pple and for others, its a nightmare. I have done it, met quiet alot of pple. Some lasted, some did not. It all depends on who u met.

U can't lie online and get away with it for long, the rela/ship moves faster than the conversional one.

It gives u the opportunity to ask as many question as posible within very short time.

There are alot of advantages of online rela/ships, though some pple will disagree with me

my cousin once told me abt the guy she met on the internet. thats was wayback 2007, they never shared their pix and they were just flowing on the fone. i just told her "what if this guy has a haunch back? what will you do?" she just told me she "anytime he is going to come around, i will flash him while i am far away to know his physique".

i later told her no shakes. In the long run guess what? the guy was EXTRAORDINARY UGLY wiv 11moustache, LOL!!!

That was careless on her part. They should have exchanged pics, even see each other on webcam, just to be sure b4 meeting. Never meet somebody u never saw his/her pic, seen live on cam. If u do then, u need to get ur head checked.

Been there, done that and the conclusion is I think I'll stick to dudes off the web. . . cool

yea some peeps get lucky and all that but Personally I wouldn't advice anyone to look for love online. . .I mean are dudes/ladies around you extinct that you resort to looking for love on the internet?  undecided Except your. . . . .  grin  grin   lipsrsealed. .you know. . .and so your last resort is the internet.

I just feel. . .Internet relationships are kinda of make believe, it doesn't give you a good opportunity to really get to know the individual your dealing with, their flaws, strength and other characteristics. . .So internet is a NO NO!

@ThoniaSlim,

Its all the same, no matter where u meet somebody, cheatting will still go on, Internet is just another way of meeting pple, just as meeting in church or club. It will finally come down to who the person is. For the fact that u met him online doesn't nt mean u going to have virtual rela/ship.

U will finally meet up and make up ur mind.

Pple u met online are not monsters or spirit. They are the same pple u might meet in church or suppermarket,

It must NOT work for everybody. Its just another way of meeting somebody, probably faster.

thonia where re you from ? Im in nigeria, i have met a few nice ladies from the internet and they are my friend/ dating someone from the internet .she is not ugly . Not broke , very cute and loving , so why do you say the internet isnt a cool place to met people. we could met then u would know they are nice people on the internet. most people i have met on the internet are nice . even more than people i met in person . so rethink my dear .

Good for you. . .nice speech there. . .but am certain you understand that people have different opinions and are also entitled to these opinions!   cool
Re: What Do U Guys Think About Internet Relationship by Uche2nna(m): 4:02pm On Jun 16, 2009
A little bit of caution would go a long way in easing most of the concerns of internet dating. I have not met or dated anyone off the net but I seriously dont see any difference between that and the girls I have met and dated from school, church or even the club. Peeps who are in the habit of lying are still gonna lie and it does not matter where U meet them.

My only concern is for people who meet and date off forums like NL where it seems everybody knows everybody's shit (How the hell that happens I have no idea!!!  undecided). Then if a relationship hits the rocks just like most relationship do, all hell is let loose on the forum.

Re: What Do U Guys Think About Internet Relationship by REALTRUTH1: 1:08pm On Jun 17, 2009
Nigerians,,too backward;though not all,,,Meeting online can be so good cos its give you the opportunity to have a universal option as to what you are looking for: Haven't you guys heard of e-Harmony?,,,its a single christian website and hundreds of million of million of people re already signed up there,,,everyday,,more than 230 marriages are contracted from e-harmony,,,,I know friends in Nigeria,Canada,Ghana and USA that got their spouses from the site.
The sad thing is that,,Nigeria has been deleted from the site,,,its real and its working,,,U would meet responsible,serious minded and ready to be married people in their,,,,
U know what,am signing up for my friend in Nigeria,,its easier to see and meet good girls who are preapred mentally,spiritually and otherwise on the site.It affords you to meet better girls/guys that you meet on a daily basis on the street,,,My advice is you must be educated and be a good christian for this site,,,like I said,,unfortunately,,Nigeria has been deleted or restricted from this site.

trust our people to spoil every good thing with their greed. no pay pal, no this no that. nigeria with our high level of education would have benefited from the out sourcing but for the high level of fraud and bad name

You are very correct,,we miss out on almost every good thing,,some people took the advantage to spoil other people with genuine intention to benefit from this,,but the easiest way now is that for those in Naija who re sincere and has a relative or friends here,,such friends or relative can sign up for them here and be upfront about their profiles,,

Re: What Do U Guys Think About Internet Relationship by steve49ja(m): 3:26pm On Jun 17, 2009
All i would say is:
Have an open mind

You get to know some people online and like them, there are peeps you chat with that has the ability to make you smile when you's sad, It doesnt really matter where you guys meet but what i believe is If a guy/girl can love you (stay away from others) without seeing you in person (could have seen millions of pics) then believe that Love is for real.

Anywhere,Anytime. . . What pleases your heart you go with.

Sure.
Maybe thats what it was for you. . . . being flung. However, there are a lot of people that have developed sincere friendships, relationships and even marriage from the internet.

If its not your thing, fine and fair enough but there's also no need to interject your beliefs with all that "dudes around you must be extinct/internet is your last resort" krapola. wink Afterall, it speaks against your person (and so called beliefs) if you can't even find people around you to "be there and do that" with. wink
