Exactly, met my wife on myspace about 3 years ago, dated for about a year and been happily married ever since. Go for it man!!
moes, you're silly... just so I can get this out of the way, I do not think you and your significant other are in the LAZY category. Ya'll didn't come to CF to "find love." Stop acting like I said you and fb were lazy... You like that "parade" thing, don't you? I said we MET that way... I never went there to find a partner... but, anyway... Yes. Yes, I do. I thought it was an entertaining show. Why do you ask? A blind date? Someone set you up? You didn't ask someone out yourself? LAZY. ^ one more, no_answer! Are you keeping count?
Ummm... didn't post ALL mine at work, but... ok... since 2002... I have 10,000... ~4.4 posts per day... but your boyfriend has 13,000 and you have 6000? I do not seem that lazy now, eh?
man I never I said I'm not lazy. I'm really lazy. In fact I'll agree with you that meeting my future wife on the internet board I have frequented for almost a decade is probably the laziest thing ever. I think its cool.
You missed the point of my post. The point was to call you LAZY, a baseless claim indeed. PS. I never said we weren't lazy. PPS. Give up.
I've been in four serious relationships in my life. Two were met the more "traditional" way (same classes/lived in the same dorm and through a friend) and two I met online. I met my current girlfriend (and the one that's treated me the best) through MySpace. However, I also met girls before her in a more "traditional" way. There has been no noticeable difference in any of the relationships (except that I'm much happier in the current one). Whether you meet your significant other on-line or at a church is irrelevant. All that matters is how you foster that relationship and how you treat one another and how you met has no bearing on that in my experience. It's like saying kids who were conceived on a one-night stand are somehow less of a person than those who were a planned conception by a married couple. There is nothing at all wrong with online dating.
I've dated many girls over the internet, usually through match.com (never seemed to have much luck with eHarmony). However, the ironic thing is my wife was a blind date set up by mutual friends of ours. She actually was on match.com but I never knew it (mainly because at the time I wasn't interested in dating women who were divorced and/or has kids). Dating online has helped, IMO, open a whole new door to women out there. If you are a shy guy and/or someone who is not interested in the bar scene, dating someone online is a good way to go. You can go at a pace that is comfortable to you. So, I don't think there is anything wrong or pathetic about dating someone online. After the initial ice is broken, you will still have to do things that you would do if you had met the "old-fashioned" way and who really cares how you met your significant other anyway? All that matters is that you are happy with who you are with regardless of where you met.
No te preocupes Swoly-D que yo tambien comparto tu opinion sobre este tema. Creo que el desacuerdo tiene sus raices en una diferencia cultural. Es un poco flojo estar sentado enfrente la pantalla moviendo el raton y navegando sobre cienes de personas. Pierde el romantisimo que es encontrar a alguien por primera vez y perderse en sus ojos.
Translation: percicles: "Don't worry, Swoly-D, because I share your opinion on this topic. I think the disagreement has it's roots in a cultural difference. It's easier to sit in front of a screen moving a mouse and navigating hundreds of people. It loses the romanticism that is finding you for the first time and losing myself in your eyes XOXO - percicles"
You can say it's lazy but can't you say we drive because we're to lazy to walk places? or we watch movies because we're to lazy to read? and im SURE you never read sparknotes in your life and always read all assigned material in school Personally, i don't drink so going to bars/clubs to meet drunk girls is not exactly my idea of fun. 2 big benefits to online dating is you can meet people you never would have met otherwise, and it takes sooooo much of the bs out of it
Buy a video camera and start working on a movie. Casting notices really bring out the hot chicks. Granted, 98% of them are extremely flaky, but still...... That said, I met my wife online (over ten years ago, way back when it was still really pathetic).
Hell yeah it's acceptable. Go to a college now and you would be suprised to see how many folks are hooking up via facebook, myspace, etc (this goes for folks who graduated in say the last 5 years or so as well). It's probably a lil different for those who came before the internet boom. And the folks I know hooking up aren't only using the internet sites...but they include them in other ways to meet folks.
