Would you ever e-date?

Following a discussion with Klippy concerning someone, I began to wonder ABOUT THE POKÉCOMMUNITY. So would you ever e-date? Or would you rather be face to face?

I would. Nothing wrong with looking for someone compatible online in my opinion. Granted, you do have to be more careful, and relationships don't last as long, I don't believe they're ineffective.

I don't think I would do either as of now.

why be such a fridgett for? ;D

I'm game for e-dating once I get to know the person well enough

Personally, I think your reason, Nica behind this thread is absolutely HORRID. There is no freakin' way that I'm gunna happily respond to this, in all honesty. The conversation that lead you to post this, was something that you shouldn't have stuck your nose into; said conversation had already been dealt with in a different way as far as I know, between the two people. As Klippy said, he made his point very clear, and the people involved mentioned previously in other freakin' conversations that they have they're own way of dealing with things.

And in reply to your thread? After a previous online relationship I swore I would not take that step again, and there is in fact only one reason that I would do that again.. and that's not going to happen, as of yet. And is very unlikely to.

But why even post a thread like this? It's basically a group of people freakin' broadcasting themselves to paedophiles and such. Yeah, so I just had a bit of a rant.. and in my opinion, it was necessary.

So yeah, I would most likely not have an online relationship, it's not a good idea.. it tends to result in hurt, and a lot of it. Which also tends not to be exactly pleasant.

Thanks for takin' the time to read this.

i agree with emily its like your putting a sticker on everyones head saying "easily lured into cars"

E-dating itself is usually best done without any prior whim of trying to locate somebody online before actually doing so, otherwise you'd be leading yourself to such an impulse move that will most likely fail due to recklessness. Dating in itself is the very definition of starting a relationship that later becomes intimate. Most notably, internet relationships are mostly deemed unsuccessful because of the extra sensitivity needed to maintain such bond between two people, and how such relationships are usually started on impulse. It is also the case that people would not want to start an internet relationship with others due to the longer distances that usually pose a problem.

However, it is certainly not the case that an online relationship doesn't hold water, in some cases it's more than successful than your average happy couple on the street. Communication is the key essence in any relationship and it is also a common scenario in most real life relationships that a couple would only rely on lust and physical attraction to keep their bond intact, which in itself isn't actually as much of a bond as it is a single thread tying them together without any other form of substance to prove the couple's compatibility. I could state many points, but to avoid myself rambling too much, I'll get to my answer.

I feel as though I've already been given the prime example of how an online relationship can boast of the greatest sense of love and comfortability ever experienced. I've been in many offline relationships that never actually kicked off due to...issues I've experienced in the past. It's more than convinced me that I would not have much luck in that area. However, there is one person that has given me more than I could have ever asked for, let alone even imagined I could ever have. I'm not going to go into it too much, but I would better sum it up by saying such a relationship can be most successful when you're sharing it with the right person. Nothing is impossible, heck, it's more than enough to give you aspiring ambitions for the future.

I'm up for meeting someone online through any of the numerous sites they have now. But as for actual dating? I'd much rather be face to face. It just seems a bit more real and natural to me. I feel like if I really started liking the person, I'd actually want to meet them instead of just chatting with them over the internet. Which, don't get me wrong, I'm sure has worked for some people and isn't totally ineffective. It's just...eh...not for me.

I would rather speak / date face to face than the internet.

I use to play a MMORPG (FFXI) and their were actually tons of online daters. One couple actually met in the game, found out they lived by each other, and ended up getting married in real life. Now I know that's a rare occasion but it CAN happen. I never got into the whole dating seriously online.. For me, it just doesn't interest me. I like to go out with my girlfriends, and I would rather not have a relation based on text/phone calls.

No i wouldn't. It's personally better to share moments in the real world, Not in the internet world where all you have is text.

Well... I would have to get to know that person... but yeah, I would. We can send photos to each other, and webcam chat. Of course, if I could date her in real life, I would, but I have no problem e-dating. But thats just me. And, e-dating is all based on trust, am I not correct? xD

I would probably go onto E-Harmony to be an ass and see which old, ugly men match up with me, but for real love, no. I simply have no interest in getting in a romantic relationship at the moment.

I probably could, actually, seeing as how I get along better with people on the Internet then in real life. But I would really have to trust them, and I must have known them for a while as a really good friend.

Lololol.
No, I'd get a crush on someone IRL and it'd be over, but if I met someone I liked IRL that was over the internet friendship or whatever, then yeah probably, depending on who it was.
