Should I Try Internet Dating?
« on: May 07, 2008, 07:53 AM »

“We E-mailed each other every day. We made plans regarding a place to live and work. I was supposed to take care of the engagement rings. We had not even known each other a month and had not yet met in person.”

YOU would really like to meet someone—someone you can get to know, someone you might want to marry. But, thus far, none of your efforts to find someone like that have worked out. Attempts by well-meaning friends and family to set you up with someone have done nothing but embarrass you and have left you more discouraged than ever. So you are wondering if maybe you should turn to technology for help.

In this age of the computer, finding a compatible mate may seem to be just a few clicks away. All you have to do, some say, is log on to a Web site, chat room, or bulletin board that has been specially designed for singles. The New York Times reports that in one month in the United States alone, 45 million people visited on-line dating Web sites. One Internet matchmaker claims to have more than nine million people using its service in 240 countries.What are the advantages and disadvantages of internet datings your view please

Do it if you want,  just be careful because people are not always as they seem. And you don't have that face to face interaction, could be dangerous. And guys he asked for opinions and advice, no need to be nasty.

What the hell ever

Look its another human being behind the screen so don't fret YOU WILL BE ATTRACTED to people online.
Just be careful if have requests for money run like hell.
If you ever decide to meet do it in a very public place or even take a friend with you.

Things are not always what they seem-same applies to people.
Some things work out and others don't.
So whatever makes you happy, go for it.

There is something about this internet thingy that makes people get attracted to each other so easily, especially when both parties are obviously SEARCHING for love. Strong caution is therefore advised. You need to thread extremely carefully because it could be a dangerous ground. You need to ask loads of questions and do some verifications rather than swallowing whatever the other person tells you hook, line, sinker and the fisherman’s booth.

people can be deceptive even when you are interacting with them physically now think of how deceptive they can be in the internet.
Anyway,Love has no hard and fast rule,you can find your love anywhere ranging from the club,to the brothel ,theater,office, anywhere and that includes intern
