Would you date someone on MFP?

Other than the fact that I am married. I have yet to see a good relationship work out from online... I know of a few people that ended up getting married but their relationships are relation****s.

I met my boyfriend on Facebook 7 months ago and we're just fine and just as strong as any other couple who meet in real life

If you're dating on the internet, you're doing it wrong.

I get really annoyed at this attitude for a variety of reasons. I think it's shallow and looking at the world in a very small way. I can't stand closed mindedness.

Internet dating is for people that can't get laid IRL because they're socially awkward. Or they have some sorta severe inferiority complex, and are too embarrassed to try to interact with people in the real world so they date online. And they have huge insecurity issues too fat, too ugly, too slutty, too needy, too pretty.

You can't be serious. I have NEVER EVER EVER had a problem finding a guy who would sleep with me if i wanted to and NEVER have i taken advantage of the opportunity YET i do the online dating thing.

I'm half serious....but I'm 1000% sure people will have a million horrid experiences with internet dating before there is success in their e-dating quest.

well then they're doing it all wrong--I've met maybe 15-20 people online and NONE have been horrid. just not the right fit. how many people do i meet IRL every day that aren't a fit? loads. it's no different.

sure would

I disagree with this. I can name a lot of people that have dated online first, met their now spose and are happy married. I for one am happily married and I met my now spouse on MySpace. I love my husband very much. And it's not what you are saying. The relationship comes from the people not the fact of whether they were online or not. Yes I would date someone online if i was not married. However since I am the answer would be a no to anyone that tried. I love my husband.

sure, why not?

My husband and I met online.... almost 12 years ago.. and we are very happily married! He is my soul mate and I love him more and more each day!!

I was hoping to, but my husband said no. Burster of dreams, he is...

Since I'm married, probably not...but I do believe that some relationships can start from meeting online. Actually, I know of two relationships that made it from the online dating to marriage.

My husband and I started that way 12 years ago. but, it took about 6 years before we actually met and acted on feelings (we saw other people and dated during that time). So, technically, we were online when we tell people how we met, but in reality, we didn't start our "official" relationship until we met in person. Going on 3 years married and couldn't be happier. :-) If I wasn't married, I think I could honestly say, yes, I could date someone on MFP.

That's ridiculous! I can and have met people in bars, grocery stores, airports, book storesetec etc and online. I am fully capable of getting laid in real life too thank you and have no inferiority complexes to speak of. Where you meet someone is irrelevant it is the relationship you build from that point on.

My long winded answer to your question...yes I would date someone I met on MFP.

Right...and match.com tells you about all their failed relationships they helped create.

huh? what does match.com telling me anything have to do with anything?

Comparing what you tell me against what match.com tells people....

Sarcasm doesn't really work through the internet, I guess. ;(

Meeting someone online now days is just as viable a place as the book store or coffee shop. It's how you choose to proceed with the relationship that determines whether it turns to s*** or not.

I agree. My husband and I met online, have been together for almost 11 years (married 9) and we have a pretty good relationship. He's my best friend.

As for the question...if I weren't married and I met a person I clicked with on here, sure.

sure, maybe i will find better quality then on POF

Yeah that seems to be the consensus of people who internet date. They are all socially competent and can get laid at will. I'm sure it's all mostly factual...

Mind you, I'm not sure people who have an inferiority complex ever admit to actually having an inferiority complex to themselves or others. =P

Ummmmmmm.......... Yes I think I would, but it depends

sure San Diego, where the single MFP at?
