What are your thoughts on e-datin?

[paul♥]

what r ur thoughts?

[Kymux]

Depends if you have actually seen these people and talked on webcam. And then you HAVE to meet them.

[Charlie]

I have e-dated. It lasted 9 months, and i never met them, but, hopefully i'll meet them ^_^

But, if you have trust, and you can meet up and stuff, then they'll work.

Same as dateing a pen pal, long distant realtionships tend to have problems even when people know each other, without ever meeting i dont belive you can have a "real" realtionship "/

[-Wolverine]

It's not really 'sad' because relationships can come from it, and I guess it has it's advantages so you can actually get to know the person better inside, and looks won't matter as much as it normally would.

But I think e-dating on Habbo is sad, where it lasts for like 3 days..

[:Hazel]

pardon me for asking but what does the e stand for, rofl.

I think it's electronic, but I'm not sure. :s

[:Hazel]

[infatuation]

Not really, on the internet you only get a very narrow view of who someone is, you never get to see them and how they react with real life, knowing somone on the net is not the same as knowing them in real life.

Hence why it can be abused by sex offeneders since its so easy to control what aspects of your personality you show. All you really get to know on the net is an allius, you can know a person properly unless you actualy meet. 90% of communition is non verbal, so you cant really claim to know someone "/

Well I mean, if you like the person you can see the person on webcam and etc., and then you can meet up, and you can then see how they are in real life.

I was thinking that you meet someone on the internet, but then carry on your relationship in real life, and occasionally on the internet.

[clarissa !!]

errr.. idk.

[Jamie!]

suppose it works for some people but not my kinda thing!

[FlyingJesus]

Karl + Gemma are the only online couple that I know who have had any success. All luck to them in the future of course x

[-Wolverine]

My mom's co-worker friend met his wife online and they've been married for 9 years now with 2 children..

[Crono]

Pointless in my opinion, unless you plan on actually meeting the person someday.

[Hoax]

I think it's for those who can't get real dates in real life ;) I mean, what are your friends going to think when you have your e-date in your messenger name and stuff?

It's good for free stuff (:P) but not for actual dating.

Haha, that reminds me of 2 of my (male) friends. They pretended to be girls on Ragnorak Online or something and "married" little boys that gave them free stuff.

[Hoax]

rofllll maybe that was their fantasy ehhhh

[Blinger1]

who are they? do they use the forum or something

[Herman]

pardon me for asking but what does the e stand for, rofl.
I believe it stands for internet. Internet dating.


who are they? do they use the forum or something
Yeah, Gemma and Karl use the forum. Cba to find out their usernames though. I know Gemma is called GJay or something.

Anyway, I think it can work out, like Gemma and Karl for example, but not really my kind of dating.

[Canariez]

I believe that if you intend on meeting the person, then it is ok to try.
But silly ones that are just 2-3 days long and over Habbo are ridiculous and pointless!

[Blinger1]

are they getting married or something?

and e stand "electronic" so "electronic dating" "electronic book"

[velvet]

If you meet them I spose it's okay.
But I don't see the point in 'dating' someone you never intend to meet.

[GJay]

e dating rocks ;)

Karl and I may have our arguments and he may be a silly ****, but we try and meet up as much as we can! About every few weeks. It's whenever Karl's free really I always make time for him hehe.
We've both grown up together hehe - from 2003 to present, and beyond..lol

I love him so much, and I can't wait to see him again...hehe.

Yeah e dating isn't for the faint hearted. there are a lot of heart aches and things. but if you are strong you pull through. :)

[Roboevil]

Can you spell? 'Internet' begins with an 'I,' not an 'E.'

[Herman]

Can you spell? 'Internet' begins with an 'I,' not an 'E.'
So? Just because it begins with an I doesn't mean it can't be Internet. It could be because there are 'E's in internet. It was just a guess anyway, don't have to go flaming me. :rolleyes: Tsk.

[Azul]

Totally against it.

Surely a relationship should come after you have met the person? Not before, I mean you could absolutely adore the person online, but face-to-face despise them.

[GJay]

The relationship doesn't start till after you meet that is right Azul. But at the same time, you just get to know the person as themselves before meeting up physically. you understnad them better, and it's quicker to get to know them too.

[Herman]

are they getting married or something?
I believe they're engaged (is that true Ms Gemma? :P)

[NotSure]

I don't think its right either, imagine marrying someone you met from habbo.. haha

lol and people will ask how u met
"we met on habbohotel, we work in help desks to help the habbo community and keep habbos safe!! we also spend most of our time sitting there kicking people as soon as they enter the room!! it was love at first sight!!"

You wouldn't say that though? lol

You would say we were lucky to meet as we met online etc. You wouldn't go into detail and name which specific chat room you met on. And to be honest, its not much different to normal dating, some people actually meet and live their lives together after meeting online, and same in RL. Some break up and are not so successful, and again - same in RL. It just depends, but i do think it takes a little more "will power" to make it with work with online relationship. But it is possible!

[brapbrap]

yeah, i believe it can work.. look at karl and gemma

Yeah look at them.....:rolleyes:

[mohammed]

hmm, i think if you find someone you like, you should meet them, THEN date them if you want.

oh yeah, my dad met my stepmum online :/

[GJay]

I believe they're engaged (is that true Ms Gemma? :P)

yeah we're engaged - got the rings to proove it lol. where's that pic gone............

Bit blurry but those are our engagement rings.

[FlyingJesus]

That's a well sweet picture, and I know it's been a while but congratulations to you both again ^_^

[uh huh her]

hmm, i think if you find someone you like, you should meet them, THEN date them if you want.
i agree, its a bit pointless never meeting them. plus it wouldn't be really a proper relationship, it really depends whether you enjoy a physical relationship or not.

[GJay]

That's a well sweet picture, and I know it's been a while but congratulations to you both again ^_^

aww thanks, it woudl have been better but we couldnt' keep the camera still lol. we do have an 'official' engagement picture which shows me with my ring...but I don't know if i can post it as an external link...

[brapbrap]

Yeah you can do external links...

[GJay]

Hmm well perhaps i won't. People will only think I'm stupid.

Back on topic, e dating - some enjoy it some don't. It's a nice way to get to know someone without the worry of no physical attraction. You see the personality first.

[edible]

Is it the one you showed me on IM Gem?!?
If it is, it's well gawjus. Look and Gemma and Karl, they're getting married, so it just goes to show, the right people can make a couple.
Idc about e-dating tbh, it can be pathetic tbh, but I still say Right on to Gemma and Karl! You need to know the person, what they look like, it's easier if you spoke to them and you've known them ages.

Sozz, But i should be bridesmaid Gemma :]]

[benjamin]

yeah i think it's up to people what they do.

i'm *sorta* edating someone, but heh idk if it's really called that. i'm gunna meet them in like a week anyway.

[brapbrap]

True love isnt stupid...:)

[GJay]

Ok well I'll externally link it :P

In the official picture (my family have one), I managed to get the pillow removed lol.
