Would you search a boyfriend/girlfriend online?

well I'm not talking about those things we've already discussed (like meeting people on forums or somewhere else on the net).....I mean on sites where people have the intention to find a partner (ew I don't know what this is called in english, sorry.).

 

They've got an extra site on the website of my favourite radio station for people who are searching a partner.......sometimes I browse this for fun....but sometimes there are guys who look interesting and who have an interesting description about themselves......but I don't dare to write them.....I guess my mum would not be pleased about that, lol...

 

So, what do you think about it?Would you seriously write some of them or would you even create your own profile?Or do you think that's desperate?

 

 

I'm just curious....

Not really, don't need to and don't want to.

*Not to sound cocky or whatever*

No i think its pretty lame to meet someone with the intention of making that someone your partner, i mean, i think everyone eventually meets someone they'll get together with by coincidence and by chance and you should just wait 'till that moment, not go looking for it. And yes, i think its quiet desperate too.

Nah. I'm not saying it's desperate or whatever, to each his own. It's just that I wouldn't bother to. I'd probably better just live my life alone or go to the library and meet some smarty guy there instead.

Couldn't agree more! Well said, I didn't feel like typing all of this so I'm glad you did. :P

oh I forgot my opinion:

 

actually I'm a bit torn there......because when I consider myself....I live in a small town and I think you don't meet people here that easily as you do in a big city....so I think it is a good option....

 

but on the other hand I think it's hmmm not really desperate but it's so erm "intentional" (not the best expression for what I want to say....)...ok sure you can only make friends if you realize that the one you meet is not the right one for you....

 

 

but seriously.....there was one guy I couldn't take my eyes off...:laugh4:

Hmm, who can tell if the one you are chatting with and eventually planning to go out for a date is real? I mean there are a lot of people that upload a fake picture and claim it's them.

well you are right......there is a risk of course....but the site I am looking at....hmmmmm I rather think those people on there are real.....and even if they are not.....you'll find out when you meet them or hmmm not meet them....;)

 

(and when I say I can't take my eyes off someone....then this doesn't mean that he is a David Beckham...:P)

I think it's a bit desperate, but who am i to say? 2 of my firends use on-line dating all the time, and they're definitewly the desperate type:D . But another friend met his wife that way and they're great together. It's not for me...and I think it's a bit tacky, but I can't judge.:\

nope... i'm not that desperate... :D i mean, meeting people over the internet is fun, but i still think that meeting a possible partner is better off-internet. there are less chance for them to fake who they are..

not really my thing. although i have been tempted by the occasional out-of-nowhere email to the stranger with a profile, it's not been a priority to go in search over the net. maybe it's just easier at this point, with the virtual still lacking in the reality..

when i was a younger person, I made an acount and deceived people, just for fun, and then one day, i just never logged on again. Actually this person that talked to me acount was named tracy

Not at 18 no, who knows what the future holds. I'm not worried at all about being single right now. I've been single a while now.

Same here, I don't really mind. I have lots of friends who are girls. I haven't really met anybody I can see myself with in the long run. Well at least I don't think haha.

 

 

I don't think I would look for somebody over the internet with the intention of dating. I think there are better ways of meeting people even if it is a little more awkward. Its just too easy to set up an account and make up stuff about who you are. THere are some creeps out there on the web.

I did that a long time ago for fun :uhoh2: that sounds REALLY nerdy, I know. but it's a waste of time if you ask me. I can't even get to know anyone. and the very few people I got to know were jerks.

honestly I feel like I've made great friends on music forums as opposed to no friends at all in a singles website or a chatroom, etc. You or someone can make better friends on a music forum, in my opinion than in the real world sometimes. because of the way people express themselves more online and because it's easier to meet a larger amount of people and a larger variety of cultures

Have done in the past..but it does not work..not recommended!!

well what I wanted to say when I said it's so "intentional" (I didn't know how to say it then hehe...)......:

 

I think that if you meet someone on such a website and then you meet in real life.....your thoughts will always be "Oh you have to fall in love with him/her now"....I don't think it woulöd be as easy going as when you meet someone and get to know him/her......in the usual way...

well.. those sites are growning like mushrooms, "because" people today have no time to meet each other... because they are stressed and busy with their jobs....

 

i won't write at it, people tend to describe themselves as the best person ever... so most of what they say is not true... I only would do it if i'm desperate lol.... you know may be you can find good people there, but i won't take the risk, to meet a lot of stupid, dangerous people 'cause i can meet my soulmate... is too risky.

 

I think that to start a relationship people must have some things in common not only the desperate of not feeling alone.

actually my friend is going to meet a girl who he met through those kinds of websites today. i actually cracked up when he first called her and said im the guy from the net..
