I think online can work…it’s a new era and so many of us use cyberspace to interact…. you can learn alot of someone by reading things they write online.
Also…even if you meet someone offline, I highly recommend a good google to see what shenanigans they may be up to…..LOL
Just find someone who you can tolerate and try to make the best of it. You’ll never find the perfect person because you’re not going to want the perfect person- if that makes sense. It’s someone’s imperfections that give a relationship it’s motive to move forward. You want to eliminate the problem of incompatibility, when it’s actually what’s keeping you together. There is no reward without risk.
So honestly, it doesn’t matter much to me. I’d personally rather go out in the real world to find someone who can give me a unique experience rather than search a systematic criteria of mates that I THINK I would want based on selective traits.
And after slowly making your way forward to the man in the smokey room, you begin to realize that not only has the smoke caused permanent damage to your retinas, but the man is fifty pounds heavier than he looked ten feet away and slightly smells of cheeseburgers.
I think both forms of dating can be fun, in their own ways. Online dating you get to know a lot more about the person before you actually have to meet them. There is no awkward “crap, I walked over here and am now stuck talking to this guy” like there is in the smokey bar scene (btw, very few people successfully meet their love of their lives in bars. This ain’t a Lifetime movie).
Online dating you get to see their pics and pre-judge them, you get a taste of their personality and their likes and dislikes before even speaking to them. The downside, of course, is that it can all be lies and they can secretly be aforementioned overweight-cheeseburger man from smokey bar in disguise.
*sigh*
This is why dating sucks in general.
I have no answers, only questions.
1) How is online dating accepted? I’ve read nothing but b*tching and moaning reviews about how these dating sites are total bullsh*t (existing only for the money; e.g. men-to-women ratio is like 50-1)–anyone had a good experience (outside of adultfriendfinder)? (I’ve never tried)
2) Where can you smoke in public anymore? (In the States that might be limited to Tobacco country)
If the internet didn’t exist I wouldn’t have met the man I’m going to marry.
If you are meant to be together God will make you meet. That’s what’s natural.
There is no unnatural way to meet the man/woman of your dreams.

yeah, i know what you mean. but either way is fine by me.
online is more convenient but it does tend to go against the natural order of things
