    I think you'd probably have more success finding someone on here than a dating site as you're more likely to have things in common (I imagine? I've never used a dating site so I don't know how interest orientated they are), afterall we all joined up initially for the same reason.

    Personally I would only ever consider dating someone I met online if they lived in the same area as me. I have had two long distance relationships in the past (one of whom I did actually meet online on a music forum) so I feel strongly that in most cases they don't work and have sworn to myself never to do it again.

    But if others want to use MFP to meet people I don't see why they shouldn't, as long as the focus stays on fitness and health as a community.

    I would think most people would tend to be much more forthright and honest about themselves, here.

    People find people they bond with everywhere. It's silly to think that this site would be exempt.

    ^^^^ This times 10. My parents met in a bar while my mom was on a date with another man. Is ditching your date for a cute younger man with a Southern accent better then meeting on a weight loss site. Not really, and as long as the couple is happy, who cares!

    I don't know, I'm pretty content with the weight I've lost and the dates I've had thanks to MFP.

    I flirt with peoples diaries. When they log ice cream or something delicious like that i always say " Damn girl you've been naughty" doesnt matter if its a man or woman. It's always a naughty girl. It's done in a pm because it can get pretty dirty with the chocolate syrup, whip cream, berry on top talk............ Damn i just got a food stiffy

    I wanna be your friend :flowerforyou:

    It is, with the invention of airplanes and cars :wink: I met a guy on an MMO and he flew out here to Virginia from Washington for two weeks over the summer. It didn't work out in the end, but it can happen when you least expect it.

    I'm all for letting things happen if they happen. Why not?

    No I don't think it should be used for dating at all!! MFP is for people who want to get healthy not get a date.
    There are enough dating sites on this world wide net so I say use on of them.
    Its no like we join a dating site to talk about our weight loss or our calorie consumption so why should people think its okay to flirt with others when that's not the reason why they are here in the first place. I know that I don't want some random guy hitting on me!

    That's just my opinion please don't take offense. You can all do what you like on here but there is a time and a place and I don't think here is it.

    People meet their mate in the strangest of places. In this day and age of hyper communication, who says it can't here?

    I see no problem with that as long as it doesn't become like normal dating sites where every woman ignores me because every other tool wants to show her their tool via email.

    I don't see anything wrong with a mutual fat burning session.
