-- Posted by kiani123 at 5:29 pm on July 2, 2009 well, I met this girl on facebook (dont laugh :p), first we would send messages to each other, exchange pictures, than we start instant messaging. We now talk on the phone quite often, also we live pretty close to each other. Could this possibly lead to real interactions or is online dating still a bad idea? Please share any stories if you have dated someone you met online, or just even became friends or whatever. -- Posted by sub800 at 5:29 pm on July 2, 2009 hell no -- Posted by The Bartender at 5:29 pm on July 2, 2009 Yes. For 8 months. -- Posted by Shibs at 5:29 pm on July 2, 2009 I wanted to. Even after I met him in person. -- Posted by Miss Kaytee at 5:30 pm on July 2, 2009 yea. for 5 months. -- Posted by Lihiro at 5:30 pm on July 2, 2009 Yeah I did, worked for about 9 months. -- Posted by rivedi at 5:30 pm on July 2, 2009 i did, but it would've been long distance and it all went horribly wrong each time don't recommend it -- Posted by Marco Machine at 5:30 pm on July 2, 2009 yer, 2 years..my first love ahh -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 5:30 pm on July 2, 2009 No but I've shagged someone I met online. -- Posted by Chasey at 5:31 pm on July 2, 2009 well =/ i guess like my brother's friend randomly asked for my msn address without knowing i'm gay, or single, or who i am or anything we got talking, realised something was there, and then met later on in real life then after a while we started dating -- Posted by johnny d2 at 5:31 pm on July 2, 2009 yes it could -- Posted by Lucid Nightmare at 5:31 pm on July 2, 2009 Yes. We went out for seven months. We're still friends. I don't think I wanna do that again, though. -- Posted by w T A Z w at 5:32 pm on July 2, 2009 yep, we went out for a week...lol -- Posted by sieeeeerra at 5:32 pm on July 2, 2009 Don't do it. -- Posted by jsia at 5:33 pm on July 2, 2009 I don't see why it couldn't work as long as you moved your relationship offline...and actually dated in real life. In saying that, I'm 100% against meeting anyone that I've met online, I doubt I'd ever do it. -- Posted by sachy at 5:40 pm on July 2, 2009 Online dating is pathetic. I doubt you know the real her, people seem hugely different over the internet. You might as well meet her and see what happens. -- Posted by Aimforthehead at 7:16 pm on July 2, 2009 Yeah we ended up never meeting after over a year. However, that wasn't due to the fact that we met online, it was all on her. -- Posted by child of rock n roll at 11:15 pm on July 2, 2009 Yup. Going on 2 years now -- Posted by kiani123 at 1:43 pm on July 16, 2009 bump
