Any of you guys had positive experiences from online dating? theres this girl ive been chatting to for a while and she seems nice but im scared tbh. The last girl i met from online dating, who i really liked, basically used me for sex and never spoke to me again :(
Here's something you should know because no one has told you: do NOT get into a long distance relationship if there is no ending to it. By that I mean, if you're in a relationship that has to be long-distance temporarily or for a few years, you can potentially make it work. It sucks a lot though, and it's generally a lot of pain/heartache/commitment that most people don't want to make.
But if you're in a long distance relationship where there is no end goal and your lives are moving in separate directions and you will never be able to see each other, then don't do it. Trust me. It will simply lead to more heartbreak.
I dated somebody on epicmafia for around a year, so I have authority here!
Also if you want advice/have questions from someone who was in a LDR, you can pm me.
Hi, as someone who is currently in a LDR with someone from here; I'd like to say, it's not as bad as you are trying to make it out to be. I am so thankful for having zach (apeescaper) in my life, and quite frankly everything is better with him in my life. We've met up twice now, and I just got back from staying with him for a week (We also made sure to meet up in person before becoming official, so it's wasn't just an "online relationship"). So while everyone is tearing up LDR's/online relationships- look at the good too. Not just the bad. Sure it sucks not being with them on a daily basis, however it makes the time spent with them more meaningful. I absolutely adore my boy and the relationship I have with him. And I also feel that you get to know a person a lot better when there is distance, because I know a lot more about him than I know about some people I've known my whole life. The thing is, you can't do these kinda relationships unless you're serious. You can't go into this as a joke- because then it will end as a joke. And though most people might think LDR/online IS a joke. It's not. You can fall in love through Skype. You can fall in love with someone in a different state. Just because not everyone does it or it's not "normal" doesn't mean its bad. So I quite personally have had the greatest experience, and the experience is still going. Every day my experience with this boy gets even greater. Every day I learn more, and every day I fall a little harder. So don't make fun of how someone finds love. Just watch the love story in its works.
It definitely can work and props to people that do. I was just giving my perspective on the downsides.

Yeah but she makes it sound a lot more "all encompassing" than it is. Plenty of people make it work and I'm pretty sure the key is to just have actual plans to be together and not indefinitely long-distance
I don't really see the point of being commited to someone long distance when there's not a chance of things being stable and being able to see each other often in the near future. It's fun at first but is just a drain emotionally cause of the loneliness and (sexual) frustrations of not being with them.
