I Dont Internet Date
I don't care if people get offended but it's not a real relationship. Sorry, I don't agree with it. The feelings might be real but a relationship is more then just how two people feel about each other. Being in an online relationship is not even in the same league as living with someone, paying the bills with someone and supporting each other's physical, emotional and financial needs.
I had a friend of mine, he had no car, no job but he was "dating" the "love of his life" who lived on the other side of the country and then he's surprised that she breaks up with him. He's someone who gets caught up in the emotion of dating. I've lived an eventful life, I've met a lot of people and I've noticed that people who date online or who engage in online relationships are very caught up in the emotion of it. Instead of thinking about how to actually make it work.
The friend of mine I referred to. Instead of going out to bars and acquiring the social skills to go outside his house, meet, flirt and attract someone. He just preferred going online and talking to people that he has no chance in hell he'll ever meet. Every single time he found someone they left him not a few weeks later. Meanwhile myself and my other friends would just go out to a club, bar or party and quickly attract someone. It's like he doesn't realize how much easier it is just going out and talking to someone.
I would tell him to stop dating online and just come out with the rest of us. Every party we took this guy to he just wouldn't say a word. Then when he would shyly ask someone for his phone number, wondered why he got rejected. He took the rejections WAY too hard and came to the conclusion that "everybody I meet around here rejects me." Truth is everybody gets rejected. I've even had people not believe me when I say I've been rejected about as many times as I've been asked out. Do I care? No, because I'm more then aware that nobody gets it right every single time and retreating to your computer because it's easier to talk to people online isn't the right thing to do. You get back out there and try again.
If you go on a dating site and you see someone that lives maybe an hour away from you or in the town next to you. Hey, maybe it could workout. But if you decide to fall in "love" with someone from a far away country, well I think you really aren't doing yourself any favors and you're making something way harder then it has to be. We have seven billion people on the planet. You can find someone close to you if you try. It's not like you live in a town of people that find you unattractive. you would be surprised at how easy something like dating is if you put yourself in the right environment.
