I am truly puzzled. How can some commit to one on a website with not even meeting them, and better yet not meeting them for a few months down the road?

You may miss an opportunity walk right in front of you, and better yet the online person may either ditch or not be who you thought they were...

I just dont get it...maybe its me

Simple, I don't...done with this online bibble-babble. Good for friends, but that is about it for me.

Its not for me...

I need someone local, we can both put our arms around each other anytime we want. Spend time together, talk, be alone, touch, look at, go out with friends and family.

Ditto.

Maybe they are looking more for a friendship then a commitment? Other wise I don't know either

The answer is- that when you finally find someone that you connect on so many levels with, you don't want to screw something like that up for a little piece of azz. I waited for 6-7 months to meet Angel and I'd still be kicking myself if I went out and played the field.

Don't get me wrong, there has to be a pre established timeframe in meeting the person. But without the physical part of the relationship bogging things down, you really, really, get to know the person on a different level. At least that's how it worked for us.

I cannot imagine that anyone would commit to someone on a website without meeting them. I think this would be crazy!!! Time for a mental health check.

completely and utterly Agree!

Let's see............not single and happier than I've ever been for two years so far..............nope, don't need a mental health check

im surrounded by nothing but old people so i had to reach out to other towns so its this or nothing thats why.

Peccy, have yall moved in together/married now???

Or still doing the LDR/seeing each other when you can???

Tap it all!!! Tap it all!

I used to think the same thing.. Then got to know someone I thought was worthy of trying out what I was normally against... I was wrong but that doesn't mean it hasn't worked for a lot of other people and quite a few we know.. Not sure what I'd do now.. I don't think I'd try it again though..

I think that some people are more inclined than others to commit... especially when they feel they connect on so many levels. Some people know that "the one" has to have many qualities that are hard to find just randomly in the current dating scene. Granted that the two people are on the same page, with the seriousness of their commitment to wait and see about each other. Of course, they do not want to wait indefinitely to meet either... but if the connection is strong... it will become a reality if it is wanted by both parties. I think that an online relationship is just really an opening... that can become a beautiful, real thing, once everything gets in place. I would have to say that I am probably the happiest I have been in a very long time. The wait seemed long, but I would do it all over again for this person in my life now.

It works for some folks. I have met a few folks here. On a friend basis only. Some I had hopes for something more substantial. But, its not happened yet. And I do cherish my friends on here.

nooooo im with you!! i turned down a lot of dates once waiting to meet someone... then... well like u said i could of missed out.. also i have been ditched other 2 other times..thank goodness i have learned..

been living with her since April..........going great!

well peccy just u remember u are lucky! now go rub her back. lol and let her know how lucky u are!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you here, Poison....

Some people I will still try and meet for dinner or a lunch..
Still believing that one day,,it will FEEL just like Peccy here said they felt together....Now would I ever committo a lady I have NEVER met in person YET,,,,no,,,,as I do know that MANY can mis-lead and lie as to who or what they SAY they our....

oh yea and peccy...as big of a diamond as she wants when the time comes!
