Tysyacha Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 This isn't a thread about dating tips, but about the sites themselves. If you've been on a dating site... 1. Is it free, or do you have to pay for it? Does having to pay affect quality? 2. How well do you think the site does at matching like-minded people up? 3. Do you feel safe communicating with online "matches"? If not, why? 4. Have you ever met someone that you met on a dating site in person? 5. If so, how did the meeting turn out? If not, did you ever try to meet? Thanks for the tips! Tysyacha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerGod Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 You have no idea of the horrors you have unleashed upon yourself by asking this question on a forum. especially on a Star Wars forum. Now, if the site has a pay feature, it will basically eliminate the 9 year olds pretending to be 25 and the cheap pedophiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adavardes Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 To answer your question about online "matches", I would feel comfortable meeting them in person, because, frankly, a screen and an internet connection as separation doesn't make it any less dangerous than actually dating face-to-face. You're taking a risk either way, because people are always going to have the potential to be crazy or homicidal, or what have you. I think that meeting someone over the internet is possibly a better way to meet someone, as you tend to be more open with your thoughts and feelings, and there's a chance for a profound mental and emotional bond to grow before physical nonsense gets in the way. But, at the same time, I wouldn't suggest limiting yourself to dating sites. There are plenty of places you can go to meet people online, and get to know them as friends, before exploring romantic options. Dating sites are a fast option, but sometimes slow and steady yields more rewards. Something to think about, and good luck in your endeavors to find that special someone. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSR Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have no idea whether to be shocked (if you're a girl) or eager (if you're a guy!) Depends on the lighting in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 That was the secret prize for the the fanfic writers last year. This year, I'll turn up nakeeeeeed. Just as long as it's not on LucasForums, you can be naked wherever you like (assuming it's legal of course.) I'm sure we girls will admire the view. My sister is dating a guy she met online--seems like they're enjoying themselves and it's getting quite serious. Online matching gives you a bigger pool of people to work with, but you still need to be careful and do your homework just like you would if you met them 'close to home', so to speak. The only disadvantage can ge distance--long distance relationships are harder to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny - that sounds like exactly something Adavardes would say! long distance relationships are harder to maintain. Affirmative. @topic: I wouldn't recommend them either, but that's just my social bias seeing as I've never used one before _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 *Waits for Adavardes to explain why girls are icky* I never got that impression from him at all. Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. The only thing that I know about online dating sites is that they're an extremely easy way to get laid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Seriously, I can't leave it alone. Tie your hands to your back, that'll guaranteed work leaving it alone. @topic: The distance can be a problem, but with a good search engine, that shouldn't be a problem.
