Dating on the Internet

Its no secret that my bf and I met on the internet. Meeting ppl on the web is easier than to meet ppl on the street sometimes. You have the courage at the tip of your fingers and you don't even need to say a word. It is also a good way for a career-oriented person to meet others when their schedule allows. My friends and I have met guys from the internet and thank goodness, in my case it was all very friendly encounters because I played it safe. There are rules when meeting strangers from the web like, always tell your friends where your going, go to public places, never go to secluded places with him, etc.
My bf used the web to not only meet me but also the person he was with before me. He's very shy upon first encounters so its easier for him to meet girls that way. My bff Edwina and I went on a couple dates from the internet as something fun and they all ended however friendships were formed and we're still in touch with most of them til this day. But beware of the 20 something guys who say they're looking for a relationship. My conclusion is 20 something guys mostly use those internet dating sites as a way of getting as many girls as they can.

In NYC there is a site that many frequent(1 out of 5 actually have an acct) to meet other 20 somethings called plentyoffish. My friend got many dates from it bc its not like eharmony, where you pay for a date. Its more like u browse, find a good looking guy/girl and send a message. No money included and if they reject you they just don't answer, great for guy who messages 40 girls a day with one or two "catches"and no actual face to face rejection(men are afraid of rejection as most should be).
There are also the facebook, myspace relationships( such as mine). Everyone and their mama, literally their mama, have an account of some social network. The main intent of this is to communicate to people you already know or perhaps would like to know more about. I befriend any and everyone. My subscribers to youtube, my friends friend, my parents friends and long lost cousins(believe me there are alot!). You don't speak or talk to someone on facebook to intentionally start dating, its mainly to find out what the person is about. I have many youtube subscribers who message me constantly about my life on facebook and ask me to post more pictures and talk to me about upcoming videos they want to see (they even ask about my previous youtube drama mess). My cousins have been married and have kids through facebook and myspace relationships so it can be successful. I do think my relationship is successful as well. So it can def. be a good thing for some to indulge in.
As far as those craigslists ads ppl post in order to get some quick sex, I don't condone that but some ppl just want to get their rocks off so they can go ahead. With the amount of diseases out there I hope they know what they're doing bc its not safe. I seriously do question those who do that, disease free individuals aren't usually the ones who indulge in that nonsense but to each its own
