Online Dating

deletedabout 10 years

Have you ever online dated? What's your view on it?

For me, yeah a long time ago. I think it's a waste of time.

I'll be in a college close to her next year. Travel is no problem. I also own proper clothing. However, I'm not really sure why I'm pandering to you.

Seraphinite, I find your opinion interesting but I simply disagree. It can definitely be bittersweet, but an online relationship is pretty much the building up of being able to be there for each other physically. You can get excited about that. And when you're emotionally invested in someone, it's doable.



out of curiosity, did the college thing work out that way or did you guys discuss it prior to your choice?


The college thing isn't solidified, but a very likely move in order to further pursue our relationship.

I'm currently in a long distance relationship, and we met on here actually. His username is Muffled. We've been together for 4 months and I'll be moving to be with him soon. It's been hard, having us live so far away from each other, but I think it's totally worth it. Especially since we skype ALLLL the time and have really good communication. As for Betrayal's statement, I don't feel unsatisfied being a female in a long distance relationship. I'll get all I need soon ;D

Betrayal says

travel - $200-$500
tux - if he borrowed free otherwise $100+
dinner - $5-$50 depending on whether you do dinner at all
condom - $5 for a 3 in a pack


Having a good time - Priceless™

Betrayal, you should probably lay off the whole singling out thing you're doing. Give it a rest.

Fair enough if you have a stance on online dating, just try not to use the people you're talking to as an example.

Online dating can be hard and it can work out. I like to think of it not as "guys or girls who can't get anyone in real life" but rather a "people who spend more time online meeting people than in real life". If you think about it, a lot of us here spend way more time than we should on our computers playing games and meeting people. The manifest function of this site is to play mafia, but the huge latent function of it is meeting a lot of new people. A lot of people got to know each other here, including myself, and made a lot of friends and enemies. Some of these friendships became close and they started a relationship. Distance is an issue, sure, but here the distance disappears. We are all gathered from different parts of the world to play mafia on one website.


true but at the end of the day, one who seeks love on the internet rather than IRL shows that they lack relative experience in the real world dating game meaning they shouldn't be online in the first place, instead, they should be improving their game IRL instead of wasting it online


It's not wasting time if you're truly committed though. As eaglesbaby has show, it can work out. Are you gonna say she wasted her time?


Yes, Betrayal, I have not wasted my time at all. We're house shopping at this very moment. How is that dumb or time wasted?


Well it's good that it worked out for you. But I still wouldn't recommend that people resort to online dating as their way of entering a relationship.

Strictly online dating is for weak and inferior beta males. And for deluded and inexperienced females. #endofstory
