Just curious if anyone had ever dated someone that they'd met online...I'm somewhat newly single, and I'm in a grad school type of program that makes it difficult to meet people, and I'm not about picking up slag from a bar. I've heard of a few couples that fell in love after meeting on Myspace, but I'm curious to know what y'all have to say.

i dated someone i met online but this was before myspace though....personally i don't want to go that route again, this only happened one time for me, and i'm still friends with him, actually i was in love with him, but now we are broken up and just friends. i'm about to close the book on our friendship as well for right now because he irritates me.

Yikes!

Why would you rather meet someone online than "pick up slag" at a bar, jackmitz?

I'd prefer the 'slag' than the net creeps.

Myspace is full of slags, it's really no different from the bar scene...except it's far more deceptive in so many ways.

JustErin said:

Really. That's what I'm sayin'.

luv4all7 said:

you didn't read my post correctly. I mentioned that this only happened one time and i didn't prefer to meet guys online anymore after this one-time experience.

missfee said:

No, I read it correctly. Thats why I said Yikes. Sounds rough. The yikes was for you, the rest was for Jack.

luv4all7 said:

ooohhhhh okay. it wasn't the worst experience in the world, but from now on, I think its better that I meet people in person rather than online.

I've heard a lot of bad things about Myspace.

luv4u said:

which is why i don't have a page.

you all are probably right about the slag online as well...I just think picking someone up at a bar is sleazy and empty.

luv4u said:

it all depends how far you take it, Bev... truly. in my experience it's been fantastic having one

unless you get a good vibe from them, you never know, might see them somewhere else again

It's hit or miss just like if you were to pick someone up from the supermarket or any random place. There'll be the same bullshit you have to see your way through to get to know someone... Online's really no different. Met my ex online. Things went really well for about, 11 months. On the 12th month, I guess he decided it was time to find a new squaw online. We were friends a long time after that though.

Then he turned into a prick.

Anyway, why not? If it helps you meet people you wouldn't normally meet, you may at least make some surprising friends and acquaintences.

myspace is cool! ive met so many nice people there

It's good for finding people of like minds...but yeah a lot of freaky deaky people on that site.

Nope.

The weird thing is that I don't get much love from the locals. I've rarely dated anyone from Indy. So I just chit chat with folks online.
