it can be. just remember the tips the sites give you about not giving out too much information.
if you keep the relationship online then what harm is their.
meeting up is slightly different..
it is… but it isn’t… my case i’m safe, but it is some of the girls i meet… example my ex… another example my online buddies.
pretty safe
everything has a positive and negative. So yes but also no.
well i dont think that it is casue it could b a guy instead of a girl or something!
It can be if you are careful and smart. I do NOT think that teens should date on-line, to many predators out their. I guess the safest way would be to use one of the on-line services such as match.com.
Just be safe and use your head.
Ive had some success with it in the past. I would spend a little more time getting to know each other before you meet and when you do meet them do it in a very public place.
Yes. I’ve been on a few dates with women I’ve met through dating websites, and it was always a pleasant experience.
I wouldn’t do it, it’s so unpersonal, uless you have a camcorder
Yes, if after you’ve chatted with the person long enough to feel comfortable, you meet them in a very crowded, public location.
I know people who have had good experiences (and are getting married in a few months) and I’ve known people that have had awful experiences, and I’ve learned that even the crazies can find relationships through online sites.
Do you know how many people like to play with people?
No, you have no idea whether your date is lying or cheating on you with another person (online or offline).
yes.but sometimes you would feel dissatisfactory.
Yes, it`s just a way to meet more people faster. Just remember to make the first few dates out in public so the both of you feel safe and secure! Then you`ll know to take it further or not. just be careful.
yes..lol heres a funny one for ya…i met a guy from myspace..and we talked since the beginnin of january..and we already felt like we had MAJOR feelings for each other..and we didnt even know what each other looked like..But we continuedto talk on the net and on the phone and i lived in ohio and him in tennessee..well i started dating sum1 that lived closer to me and i told my myspace man..JOSH about it and he got reli upset..so i decided that weekend i was going to drive 8 1/2 hours to be with josh in tennessee..and I DID IT..i sorta followed my heart..now we live together…and r soon going to be gettin married and having a baby..so yes online dating is as safe as u make t be..just be reponsible about it =D good luck!
I think online dating is a bad idea. 9 times out of 10, the person you talk to is misrepresenting themselves in some way. Changing their age, sex, using someone else’s picture. You never know. There are too many sexual predators out there. I think the best way to deal with it is to just stay away. I have met people from the internet, and I have been lucky! I went to college with them, and we made sure to meet in public and I had other people who knew where I was. Just be very careful if you do decide to test the online dating pool.
On the other hand, I know of several very sucessful relationships that began online. It’s not for me, but to those for whom it does work, congrats!
No matter which way, just be safe!
don’t think you’ll catch anything nasty from it if it stays online please let me know when you need my services I’m now Pastor Bubba
leaning towards no…
K. I on some level don’t think its much different then dating someone you just met. I took the chance twice to go out with men off line. The first time it was a sinker …. the guy was full of himself so I was determined that I wouldn’t try to date anyone from on line off line again. Then my hunny came along. I met him off myspace.com and we have been dating for 7 months as of the 3rd of April. He is the love of my life and a piece of my heart. So I guess my advice is if you are over 18 and careful its just another way of meeting people.
yep, getting together offline is wat might b dangerous…
I’ve actually met n gone out with people I’ve met online. So far so good. But I’m a guy, n whether u’d like to admit it or not, its slightly different(risk wise) for girls.
it’s no more dangerous than any other kind of first date, just use common sense & it’s fine.
1) Tell someone where you are going and when you will be
back.
2) If you go to a bar, do not get drunk or leave your drink
out of your sight.
3) Don’t get in his car, but if you do text someone the
number plate and a description of him.
4) Stay in busy, public places.
5) Go halves on everything so he can’t feel you owe him.
I met my husband in an aol chatroom, so it can be safe but I was lucky very few people on here are what they say they are.
i think its not safe at all..there are some people who are good .but this is one excellent place for the bad ones too to look for whatever they want from other people. its not easy to know everything we wanna know about people we talk to on line and you can’t know what kind of person someone is, despite of what he / she may say about himself/ herself. l think we have to be very careful and we don’t have to be very open in reveiling everything about us to other people online
It depends. If you’re doing it just for making friends online, then that will be a great safe. Online chatting is considered as one of the easiest way to gain friends; either for real or just for fun. On the contrary, it’s not because you don’t know the personality and character of the people you are dealing with. Better have personality and profile check before dumping yourself into things that you might regret in the future.
no it is not
