I believe my initial reference on this issue is from a research by the University of Arkansas which investigated online dating. The research is peer-reviewed and has been published in reputable journals; if I can't swallow "hook, line and sinker" a scientific research, is it an opinion by a nairalander I should swallow?
How can you ask this question?!

Choose to swallow whatever you want! But the way you are always carrying a big WHIP waiting for someone to say "LOVE" is what really really ticks me OFF!

Mallow:



why do you say so?

So in your OWN OPINION, NAIRALANDERS are NOBODY(S), RIGHT?

I am in support of this bolded statement! But i must be quick to add that the poster NEVER mentioned a day or few weeks!

Mallow:

Getting to know someone offline and online is almost the same process,just as you meet someone in 'just one day' and get to know them gradually,is almost the same process in meeting someone online.Online is different because you get to communicate via the internet,mostly,while with offline,you get to meet up with them on some instances,one can also exchange numbers offline and online.It all depends really.But i still do not see a big difference there.my opinion.

REALITY101:

BWT Mr/Mrs C meet online

What's the difference between Virtual and Real world

claremont:

What is the difference between playing war games on television, and fighting in a real war

Mallow:




It goes from stage to stage,one transcends from virtual world to real world.That is why you meet someone online,get to know few stuffs about them,and arrange to meet up with them.my opinion.

jay bee:

So is it wrong to meet someone online knowing fully well you had still get the chance to complete the process as you've explained in your post.

Mrs.Chima:

Mallow

Not everybody wants to meet someone ONLINE and if that is what you wants to do, DO IT.  

There is not need in justifying your reasons to.  


Jaybee

Why do people assumed because they met someone online that EVERYBODY ELSE met someone online?  

Mallow:






Read my post from the beginning to the end,and when you get to the end,what does it says? MY OPINION. so let it be.
MY OPINION ,still stands,take it or leave it.You got yours too,please yourselves



@post, i do not see anything wrong in meeting someone online,my advise is to follow your heart to do what is right for you.
thank you.

claremont:

Anyone who believes that his/her heart is leading him/her to an online relationship should slap him/her self away from dreaming. It's like continuing to believe that the earth is flat, when the overwhelming scientific facts point otherwise!

Says Who? You? So what do you say to those that met online, and are happily married today? Do you meet someone online today an marry them tomorrow?

livedit:

Livedit met her (now) husband online and very happily married. We've known it each now going on 2 years. We married a little over a year later after courtship/meeting. He is the same today as he was when I met him. Sure, my family AND his family was against us. Even laughed and made jokes saying it wasn't going to work out and the normail stereotyping and closemindness I'm hearing today. Now my honey and I have the last laughed. Both sides adore us.

I also have friends who met online. Now happily married with families going strong.

It just amazes me how many people are so closed minded. Still living in this box of the way they think things should be. Not all online relationships work just like not all "real life" relationships work out. People can be a fraud on and offline. The point is, regardless of the original meet rather on or offline, you DO need to meet again and again etc. to get to know each other.

I met my ex-boyfriend in person. And Lord forgive me, I swear he was the bottom of the barrow. He was a fraud, liar, cheater, deceiver, user, loser and a scammer.

Regardless on how a couple meet, rather online or offline, you need to take the time to get to know each other. Sure, online you can meet alot of criminals/scammers, but is it just limited there? Just like in "real life" you have to be careful whom you hook up with. You can STILL pretend to be someone you're not.

So according to some people, all failed relationships failed because they must've ALL met online. Wow!!

To your tents o Isreal. To each his or her opinion. Fact is, online relationships are known to be dangerous and almost always fail.
