Does he mean internet dating services or just meeting someone online, like here for example?
Either way, I see no reason why it can't work. Obviously it's more difficult than your typical relationship, but if you're both dedicated to the same goal, it has the potential to become something wonderful.

I had dated someone I had chatted with online after I met them. Right now no way, however, if you know any good dating sites, that might be another story. Slim pickens around these parts and/or I'm just that lame which I just can't believe.

I know two people who have met someone online and have since got married to them!

Both of the women are actually from the same family, one is my friends mum and the other his aunt. His mum lives in Australia now with the guy she met online, and the aunt married an american I think.

More than likely I'd never use the Internet as a dating tool unless it was someone I had been with already and we had to separate for long periods of time.

I've been trying to decipher this since yesterday, no luck.
Are you saying you knew the person before or after the online experience?

Theres just no way in hell I'd ever give online dating a try. I mean its one thing to Cyber on a regular basis...but then when you actually meet that person, its funny how the real life /me button doesnt work as well. Especially when that 5'-6" 115lb 24 year old with C-Cups and Blonde hair turns out to be a 45 year old 280lb 5'-4" dude from the Bronx.

That could hopefully be prevented by a little time on webcam....

I think you can meet some truly amazing people online, people you would never have met in real life that just might click with you perfectly. A person wouldn't want to just limit themselves to online dating, but I think it can sometimes be the start of a great thing that will eventually spill over into real life.

I don't think you can doubt the possibility of meeting amazing people online, but don't forget that amazing can be both good and bad in its usage.

There's no way you can get a full understanding of the person from just the internet. If the couple wants to have a serious relationship I feel it would be impossible without first having met and spent large amounts of time with each other. The internet just gives you an idea of personality, intelligence, and a majority of beliefs.
