I have “met” people from all over the world due to my experience with online dating sites. Most of them would never have crossed my path in traditional dating circles. At the end of the day though, I can’t cuddle up to my laptop.

The only real differences between online and offline dating that I can see is there are somewhat less inhibitions to reaching out to other people online.

Getting rejected online (ignored after initial or a couple of contacts) makes it hard to get feedback as to the rejection, though, and a tad confusing because there is no final message usually.

I think online dating is far better than offline dating only for the simply fact that you get to know a person first. It challenges two people to talk rather than fallin in lust over looks. It also allows a gradual speed in the relationship rather then meeting someone and feeling pressured to give your number right away. I think anything that’s good takes time and a investment and online dating is just that. Plus it works for you while your doing your everyday routines. It’s almost like having a headhunter out there searching for your perfect mate. Could you imagine walking in a busy city and ever person walking towards you had a sign attached to their body describing them from age height kids work interest and a about me section where you could prescreen the one’s you where interested in.The only good thing about that is you’d be able to actually see in person what a person really looks like.That’s the only downside to online dating not everyone looks like the pictures they put up lol. Okay I got way too into this..Those are my thoughts.

i still am a fan of the old fashion way, you know how you meet that guy while your out and you hit it off you don’t have to worry about pics, or any hidden info ( if you run into the right guy) meeting new people online is great but for me i prefer offline dating.

i agree with the consensus- neither is better or more safe than the other. real time dating can bring liars and cheats and online dating can bring posers and thieves. both have to be approached with diligence, caution, and common sense. there is no “easy” way to date.

I agree with JenniferDawn. There’s not that big of a difference. You do find more people online that are posers, however. I guess it all boils down to a person’s comfort level when it comes to dating.

As far as the difference between online and regular dating, I don’t know that one is safer the other.. People can lie online just as easily as they can lie in person. I do think that Online is a more Convenient way to date because you have a chance to chat and get to know more about each other before you actually meet. The down fall to that however is that once you meet the chemestry you had via the internet May not be there… So it’s definatly a gamble either way!
