<p>If you think it’s worth it, go ahead. I won’t be a bitter b*tch.</p>
<p>I mean it’s internet right? For a all you know that person could be giving you false information. Then the next thing you know, he or she wants to meet you and well you understand the rest.</p>
<p>Unless of course you already met the person and all that jazz…</p>
<p>But if you have a cam, its the same thing as meeting someone in real life. If you can see them then you know they are cool.</p>
<p>^How is it the same thing? There’s no physical contact.</p>
<p>^Alright, then it’s like dating a very religious girl.</p>
<p>^I still have trouble understanding why people do that…
Of the two qualities you listed, I’d rather date a girl than a [i[very* religious person and I’m a straight female. You have to differentiate between friends and more than friends at some point.</p>
<p>I wonder what it would be like if two people were very serious in their CC relationships and they actually decided to matriculate to the same college.</p>
<p>#misleadingtitlemuch?</p>
<p>I totally thought this was going to be a “what do I do if my high school sweetheart goes to the West Coast and I go to Harvard (chance me here!)”. Not cool.</p>
<p>But regarding internet-only relationships: I think the people who engage in them are often (as previously noted) preteens, lonely geeks, people unwilling to take real-life risks. That last bit is why I have such an unaffected scorn for them. It’s a bit similar to falling in love with a fictional character…sure, it’s fun, but you end up focusing your energies on something that won’t go anywhere and using it as an excuse to get out of making a proper effort at Real Life.</p>
<p>& I count myself as a former lonely geek, so I feel somewhat qualified to judge my kind harshly.</p>
<p>I just didn’t want to be that person with a thread about Internet relationships. They’re so lame.</p>
<p>I don’t think that internet relationships are official until you actually meet the person. </p>
<p>My fiance and I met and developed our relationship online before we actually met each other IRL. It was a friend of a friend, not like a random thing.</p>
<p>I also have a friend who just started going out with a guy she met online. They are both avid fans of the same minor league hockey team and they had each been going to the games for years, but had never seen each other. They met finally face to face at a game last week (two weeks ago? I can’t remember) and they were going out by the end of the game. Cute couple.</p>
<p>But in order for it to be “official” you gotta meet IRL. People are often not themselves online.</p>

<p>You sound like the voice of experience. Do go on.</p>
<p>The further away they are the better. That way you know you will never have to meet them in real life :)</p>
<p>I would like to know how people started " dating " on CC…</p>
<p>I mean, ladies, do you find my posts attractive? lol. How does that even work?</p>
<p>It happens. I’m sure I’m irresistible to many of the posters on this forum.</p>

<p>What does that mean? I did a search and found nothing lol.</p>
<p>There’s this 60 second rule, as a result of which you have to wait 60 seconds between each post, so I just do that whenever I have time remaining in order to waste it and create a colorful surprise for myself when I post :D</p>

<p>I’m somewhat curious about this as well. Maybe someone just develops an attraction towards someone’s online personality?</p>

<p>@ThisCouldBeHeavn, sorry, I’m terrible at detecting sarcasm. I hope you are joking. I’m definitely not.</p>
