Would you ever go out on a date with someone that you met online?

Well of course, I have been single-again recently, now engaged. How did I meet this magical man, why I met him from E Harmony. You know the old saying, "you get what you pay for".

Well for those who are serious in meeting the man or woman of your dreams you need to break that piggy bank and spend a little. But, I got lucky, I did E Harmony's free profile and then I started getting discount offers and I got the best one... really cheap... hee hee hee. Well within three months I met my future hubby.

If you are meeting people on line make sure what your intentions are, and what sites you are going to look. Also, listen to your instincts if you have a funny feeling or butterflies, there are more out there. Also, make sure your first meeting places are public and brief, do not give out any personal information where you live, work, or home phone until you know this guy/gal is legit.

Most of the time I met people they were legit and followed the online dating rules, but were not really serious about serious relationships. I tried yahoo, match, chemistry and a free one, but when I was ready I did E Harmony and it worked for me. If your seriously looking for a permanent/marriage type relationship invest in yourself and like Suave says "your worth it".

If you are just meeting friends then meet in groups, another site meetup. Com is a great place to look. Whatever your interests are they have a group of people in your area that you can meet and do activities together, that is a great and safe way to meet new people and network.

But always remember, public places, no personal information that they can find you, and use your instincts and good judgement.

I originally met my husband online through ICQ when we were really young. So yeah, I'd date someone I met online. I'd say it's extra important to exercise caution when meeting any stranger.

I wouldn't have met him for a date after the first time we talked for instance. We had talked on the phone quite a bit and known one another for quite sometime before meeting. When you do meet I would recommend a day date in a high public location.

Take separate cars. In our age though.. I'm sure there are thousands outside myself that have connected with the love of their life online.

I have dated people I have met on line. Personally, I have viewed it as merely another medium to meet people. As with other places in which one meets people, there are success stories and there are failures.

I am engaged to be married; I did not meet my future husband on line, but I know many people that have. The way I see it, meeting people on line is normal and acceptable, as it should be.

Yes, I would and have. I think the internets can be a great way to meet people if it is done correctly. However, I still would prefer to meet someone the old-fashioned way.

I think the relationship just "flows" better that way. But in the end, is the way you met really THAT important? I don't think so, unless it was in prison or somewhere else unsavory.

I probably would not, for the simple reason that I could never be too sure exactly who was on the other side of the computer. I have read about way too many negative outcomes related to internet romances gone awry when one of the persons involved did not turn out to be the person he/she was expected to be. A friend of mine recently told me a story about when he had started talking to a girl online and fell in love with her after months of chatting online and video conferences.

She was the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on he said, or so he thought, until he drove over 900 miles to meet her and she turned out to be about 20 years older than she had indicated, and looked completely different. He found out that she had used her young niece to entice men over the Internet all along. After this disappointment my friend said he never again used the Internet to meet a person.

If I were single again I would probably try it. I've met some very nice people online. Of course I would take precautions.

Meet up for coffee or something at first. Make it a short date, stay in well lit public areas. I actually have family members that have met people online and married.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
