online dating?



New to the whole online dating world (wonder if I am too old fashioned for it).

When emailing someone met thru the online personals, is it typical to be flirty with more than one person? This guy and I have been emailing a lot for 5 months now, he is very nice and we met once- which I thought went great.

He says a lot of nice things and all and ends his notes with a kiss yet stays as single on the personals site. Normal or … ? Should I consider it just fun play and nothing more? I think he is fantastic and he is not too far away but am thinking now that maybe he only writes to be nice, or enjoys the ‘risk free’ world of online chat and Nothing more. (sigh)
I should add – we live about a full days drive from one anotherr, neither of us in the position to drive at the time being. Hmmm I guess I should not take it all as serious as I have been. Bummer…..

Online Dating Help?



I met Someone online and weve been emailing back and forth for about a week. But in the last few days i havent heard anything from him, the last Email i recieved he said he was sick but i haven heard from him since. Our Emails were totally normal, nothing wierd or strange. he was actually super sweet, but now nothing… Should I write him very casually? Should I just leave him alone? Shoud i expect to hear anything? Or Should I just move on from the whole thing?

Is it bad to meet someone online? I’m not talking like dating sites, but more like internet chat rooms?



Is it really bad to meet and get to know someone you’ve met online in a chatroom???

How do you know if you can trust them? If you’ve been instant messaging them for a few weeks, emailing, and you talk to them on the phone regularly, THEN is it okay to go ahead and meet up? Or is it too dangerous all together, even if there’s tons of people around and you brought a friend or two with you??

What do you think??

how long to wait to meet with online dating?



i have been emailing this guy i met online (at the personals) for the past week, 1 or 2 long emails a day. he responds and everything. how come he doesn ask for my number or ask to hang out already? we have exchanged many pics and everything and he is very complimetray with everything…i mean, wouldnt he just stop emailing if he didnt want to eventually meet? we only live 15-20mins. away?

Met him online, what should i do now?



I met him on a online dating site, but i was only looking for friendships ( bad past relationships). Anyway, I started talking to this guy for over a week now, like everyday. He’s busy with his band so he goes online late at night and i’m a day person, we email each other. I gave him my number in my second email to him, but he just keeps emailing me, but they are pretty long ones. We kind of flirt and he told me I should visit his city to see him play but he wrote that only in passing. So, is he interested in a friendship or is he taking his time building a relationship? P.S. he is only looking for long term relationships. Tragically, i’m going into the military in 3 months to texas and I haven’t told him yet, what should i do, i’m starting to like him?

Is creating an online dating profile, while married, considered cheating?



My husband who’s serving overseas made an online dating profile to meet Russian women. I found out and I’m extremely angry and hurt. Sometimes I feel like it’s not a big deal, but other times I feel I could divorce him for his betrayal. He even sent an email to some Russian woman asking to talk to her and telling her how gorgeous she is…meanwhile, I’m here constantly trying to make life easier for him. I stay up at all hours chatting with him (even though I’m a career woman myself), I send him a package twice a month (sometimes more), I send him messages/emails/offline IM’s keeping him up to speed on what I’m doing, I write him a letter every night…yet his excuse for making this online profile and emailing this woman is because he felt disconnected from me. How would you feel? What would you do?

Why are people so afraid of online dating?



I am just wondering why people are so afraid of online dating. As for me when I am going to date someone from online, we speak of many things. I do not just meet the person before emailing for a while, talking, checking them out. I meet in a public place. He doesn’t get my number, or home address. I think that most people who meet a person at the club, the bank, or just on the street and think this person is cute are more in danger of him being a phyco. Then they have this person come to their home to pick them up for a date, that is scary. I just met you haven’t had a conversation with you, and now you are at my home. If done right to me, on line dating can give better results. My worse dates, have been from people I have met somewhere other than online. But I will add, there are a lot of dishonest people out there, but that is no matter where you meet them. So what makes you afraid of online dating? Have you ever tried it, or are you going from what the news said once.
After reading all the replies so far, I think that the ones against it has made my point. All of the things that has been said to why you shouldn’t you could attribute to why it is dangerous to date a person you haven’t even taken the time to talk to. I agree that you never leave your drink unattended, but that goes with any one you go on a date with. The good thing in that story was that just as she didn’t have his address, he didn’t come and pick her up and know hers either. That type of man could have come back and harmed her if he had been someone she had just met on the street and dated. My point is you should always be safe. Not just take a person at face value. Take the time to learn about this person before you meet to date, or give anything personal out including addresses, and telephone numbers.
