that's the truth.
The older generation doesn't know quite what to think about this online dating thing. It's just our version of personal adds in papers. However it's more interactive. Sure, there are some wackjobs out there. But a lot of people are just looking for someone to spend time with.
That being said, if it's worked out for people in the past then great... I don't mean to be a jerk but I don't think meeting someone online is the same as meeting someone in person. There are certain inhibitions people can disgard in a non face to face interation that when sitting behind the computer they can be whomever or whatever they want to be. Some people stay true to themselves and others will bend the truth slightly. Some might outright lie about some things.
Right now my Sister is dating a man she met online who lives in Ottawa, she in Halifax (canada) and I have a suspition that my parents do not approve whatsoever of this. Personally, She is 29 and almost 30 and can do whatever she wants with her life. I would rather her meet someone in the real world but heck, to each their own. I don't know how supportive it is going to be from my families side. My brother (eldist) is not involved much at all with my Sister's life and I'm sure he knows about it but I doubt he's given it a 2nd thought. I speak to her ever day on msn, I just want her happy.
I have a set of friends who met online and are happily married now for 5 years.
I have another friend who married a girl online, she screwed him and then took him for all his money and ran back to the States left him in bankrupcy and depression for 5 years.
sounds like it's the same as real life don't it.
