12 Pros and Cons of Online Dating ...

Online dating is not a taboo subject anymore and people seem to take it more seriously than a few years ago. We are starting to accept online dating more and more as a genuine way to meet someone. Still, even now, many people do not take it seriously and ask themselves if it can work at all. Trust me: it can work. I have been dating someone online about seven years ago. It was a great experience at the time and we are happily married for more than 4 years now.

Like any controversial thing, Dating …” href=”http://allwomenstalk.com/10-major-rules-for-successful-online-dating-2/”>online dating has many pros and many cons. Here is the way I see it.

    Online dating sites where you have to use a translator can be very dangerous – the translator can change the content of each parties letters to prolong the relationship to earn more money

    When ... See more a Ukrainian agency thought there was not more money coming from me they terminated our relationship in the last paragraph with a lie! VISA had refused payment to them but I am solvent. Well I have been stalked by the lady concerned which is not very pleasant I can assure you with her visiting http://itccommunicationsnet-johnnichols.blogspot.com/ daily.
    I leave messages for her in Russian but so far she has not come forward – a friend has suggested that maybe the agency is controlled by the Russian Mafia and that they have threatened to kill us or her family if she contact me See http://myuadreamsexperience.blogspot.com/

    No more long distance relationships for me – no more relationships?

    Interesting comments. From a mans perspective ( which I am!), and having been on and off online dating for nine years, when and if you find your “Twin Flame” is like winning the lottery; but ... See more much more rewarding in the reality of life. Money may bring you all you need in materialistic treasures and a new lifestyle, but finding the true love of your life has rewards that money cannot buy.
    A year ago, I met this woman that truly reflects the kind of woman that I was searching for. I was not unrealistic with my expectations or anticipations, and realized that perfection doesnot exist no matter who I would meet.
    There are pro’s and con’s with any internet dating site, and unfortunetly there are way to many game players; people who are not serious; people who find it as a means of personal entertainment, people who are lonely and looking for someone to talk to; people who misrepresent themselves, etc.
    I can contest that with patience, perserverance and a positive attitude towards meeting someone can be a rewarding experience. Just be smart, be realistic, be positive and take your time.

    I have been in the High Tech world for many years and I know from experience that people are not the same online as they are in person. How many times has an email ... See more been taken out of context? They are words and often times the person reading the words will read it in their state of mind. So, if that person is stressed or upset, that is how your words will read to them. I know a person personally that went online found a woman, started talking about marriage, acted like he was an involved Single dad, even took her to meet his Sister. When in reality, he hops from job to job, borrows money from people and doesn’t repay, doesn’t have a drivers license because he won’t pay his traffic tickets, he doesn’t support his kid and his kid lives with his friends, and he isn’t that close to his Sister. He broke that poor woman’s heart after borrowing money from her and disappearing! I met that poor woman once and she is a sweet successful woman that did not deserve that! If you go the Online dating route – keep your guard up and do some research before you end up like this poor lady – with a broken heart and an empty wallet. Anyone can be whatever they want to be online – there are a lot of dis honest people in this world – why would you ever think everyone is honest online? In fact, it’s easier to lie online. The odds of finding a real great person is about as good as you walking down the street, or shopping at the grocery store.

      Hey Michelle,
      Could not agree with you! It is extremely hard to trust people that you find online. Personally, I have had a really bad experience with an abusive ex who I met online but ... See more at the same time I have also made some fantastic friends online. You certainly need to keep your guard up and not fall for someone easily.

      Hey Penny,
      I hate to say this sweetie but maybe you should have thought this through before you ended your marriage of 15 years for this man. I don’t know how serious your conversations are. ... See more Have you spoken about a possible relationship? Have you guys ever even talked about meeting? The fact that he is this insecure and reluctant to show you his pics, let alone meet you makes it seem a little bit fishy. Then again, maybe he’s just insecure about his physical appearance. You’ve got to give him some sort of deadline. If this means anything to him, he will come around.

      Penny, you are not alone, i met a man from NY by chance online just short of 6 weeks back..he lied about his face, posting pics of the model milind to which when i caught ... See more him out he confessed it felt good to not have to lie about it anymore ..however, he chose to remain “Faceless” .. despite the attraction…i needed to be real with myself, i expressed and remain true to myself that because i have been fair and have let him see the real me in cam..if “love” is what he sincerely means…then reciprocate a face in order for the bond to continue to grow..i have given him a fair chance to meet me half way making matters very clear i wont accept nothing less because i am worth it – having given fairly..but he hasnt come through…so i have chosen to face the reality of “letting go”…again, because i am worth a face and more…it takes real courage, committment to oneself’s right to be treated fairly..it just takes one decision…and the decision “can” be yours..why settle for less?
