I agree.
I think dating online or via phone is a lot of fun.
But because most naija guys are wolves in sheep's clothing, you don't really get to know them online unless they act like their actual selves

I'm not very fond of online dating, I prefer meeting people face to face (not from the internet). It's just a quirk of mine. But I know that some people meet on the internet and develop long lasting relationships, it's just not for me.

that's why you need your own wife instead of running from pillar to pole calling, making text messages and travelling even spending money and time for unprofitable women transaction.

There is nothing wrong with online dating because we live in the information age where people meet on the information superhighway to share ideas and make friends.  The downside to internet dating is that some of our ladies use caucasian pictures on their profiles or borrow some pictures from their born-with-a-silver-spoon-friends and paste them on their profiles. When you actually meeet these ladies, you will find out that they are the exact opposite of whom their profiles paint them to be  However, Internet dating is okay if you are careful about it; I know of a couple who met over the internet and are now happily married. A white American lady friend I met on myspace.com is actually happily married to a Nigerian whom she met over the net, then she came to Nigeria to meet him and his family and then she hepled get into the Unites states where they currently reside:) |

there is absolutely nothing wrong with online dating,its more realistic,because you get to know each other very well before meeting physically and you would have both known what you really want from each other before moving on to the next stage,a friend of mine met his fiancee through online dating and they are getting married early next year.

I think it is getting safer now and more acceptable around the world. Like most people on here are saying you just have to be careful like real life. For the person who asked for a link there is this really cool Nigeria dating site called alarena.com. You can check it out at www.alarena.com. The people there seem serious. |

Online dating makes more sense. No point raking up phone bills over food you fit not chop.But beware peeps can dump viruses and all kinds of things on you (the kind condom cant help with) before you even lay a finger on her.

Nothing is wrong getting to know or meet someone through the phone. I don't want to use the word dating, cos it means deeper than that. There can't be a relationship just on phone- never. You can't peck or smooch, so it doesnt make sence. The most important thing is to meet the person face 2 face

what then is dating, if not to date someone.
And so whether u date online, offline, via phone or even via text, or the real thing ; dating is dating.
The only difference is the approach. When you date someone you do not see or you have not seen,
you may be dating someone you may not want to date.

there's this chic i ''met'' on glo Africhat, and we've been talking for 5 months. but i haven't been able to get a picture of her in my head. she does not want to send me her pic thru mms and she says she's not an internet freak and the last time she checked her e.mail was 8 months ago from today. i'm scared of such kind of people bcuz when u finally get to se them in person, it turns out to be a nytemare.
but internet/phone dating is good maybe if u need company or som'n like that.

hmm this mara. Well lemme say my own Experience.We met Online on a Forum, checked out our Hi5, Facebook, etc We chatted alot, then exchanged phone numbers called alot, spent close to 6hours each time on the phone He was in the UK, sha i constantly Hounded him about when he was going to come over It was Fun, but i never really saw it as a "Date", theres nothing like a persons presence. i told him, when he comes, we would make it official. So, After about a year, He came to Nigeria by now, i felt i knew him pretty well, he seemed well to do and all, so i was really excited, before he came over, he had sent me a gift from the UK sha. This was during Summer, So he came to my house, he had talked about his folks having some really good cars . . . . . but I saw that he came with a Taxi, and he was thinner and not as freah as i saw in his pictures ok, my disappointment levels started to rise, he explained that hes mum had them locked in the garage or something funny like that We went out to popular joint and he kept saying that he hadnt changed most of his Pounds into Naira So i ended up paying for the outing, he only payed for the cabs  When i suggested we go to his house, he said No, that something something something, ok o, i thought. i didnt find it funny, his whole demeanor was irritating, there was this arrogant air about him, not confidence more like a complex issue, i didnt think he looked any how to be proud about, His Polo shirt was well worn and the jeans, quite dirty. i couldnt believe it was the same dude, i had LOVED online and on the phone CHEI!! when i got home that day, i just knew it was the end Though we hung out a couple of times, i knew we could never pass Friendship levels. He is back in the UK and we still chat from time to time BOTTOMLINE: There is nothing like Presence and physical interaction be careful, there are so many people i wish i kept as online friends because meeting them, just wasnt worth the stress of stepping out of my house gate kai! Wa nene ke da tambaya? wa nene bai gane ba?  Im joking sha, i just love stories, i know some people will carry this and run with it, hehehehe |

Though, I have never had an online relationship. . . . but I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with it as long as the two persons involved are honest and down to earth as much as possible. Exchange of pictures and videos from time to time is necessary and phone conversation is a must. Somehow . . . I can tell a lot about a person by listening to 'em. Bottom line. . . . HONESTY. |

I met the woman I am in love with online. I am proud to say that. We both knew what we wanted, and were fed up with crap
from previous relationships, and wanted it to work, so we worked at it. We were totally and brutally honest with each other, down to earth, talking everyday online, and via telephone. Exchanging pics, and all, and some others. I got to know her even more than women I had met conventionally. I haven't known any woman the way I know her.
At least we were able to talk and know each other and date, because maybe if we had met conventionally, all I might have been thinking of was the physical side,
, I wont go into details, but we are still together. I'm saying this so you know that at times, to get what you have never gotten, you have to do what you have never done. You never know which medium God will use to bless you. So follow your heart.

Sometimes the girls make the expirience not worth the try, you meet this babe online then the next time you call her she tells you shes in school and that shes broke, she wants a recharge card, and you do it as a Gentleman next thing shes turning you to a meal ticket and the possibily of meeting her wears out by the day cos she will admit she could come see you but you will need to send some money for her fare. thats the problem sometimes with the online thing, if only girls will learn to be reasonable.
