Have you ever e-dated?

[Kardan]

Have you ever had a relationship that was over the internet?

I would answer yes if you had a relationship that was over the internet but later carried on in real life.



For me, no.

[MKR&*42]

Nope :)

And no, I haven't.

edit: WAIT I HAVE. Once cos he paid me credits per day to date him

[Kardan]

Oh cool, the poll went through even though the forum froze to death.

So no.

[Samantha]

So no.

He means that if you dated someone online, but didn't meet them then that's a yes. Yet, if you started dating online and then met them irl that would still be classed as you have edated someone.

Yes I have.

[scottish]

Yes, I e-dated buttons; in 2007/8 then dated her irl in 2013

[buttons]

it was 07 scott, my virgin days
ye 3 from habbox but they all lasted less than a week. 1 is now gay n the other 2 i didnt see pics of until last yr.. (5 yrs after edating them....)

n to make it clear me n butthead only edated that one time in 07, we weren't edating before we got together irl kk

[sex]

no i didn't thank god

[Futz]

yeah lmao, once when I was like 12 on maple story, it was quite cute, I'm still quite good friends with the girl now too

and another time I met a girl online, met up with her IRL and **** but we lived ages away from each though so it ended

I'm not really a fan of long distance relationships tho unless they're worth it
I get real tired of chatting constantly over the internet and I'll usually become distant because I'm Jim Carey

i need 2 touch u

[Yawn]

no.

[lawrawrrr]

I would class edating as a solely online relationship, and no, I've never done that. There are so many ways to meet people these days it would be ridiculous to exclude meeting on the internet as this very joky and negativity-ridden label.

I've had multiple relationships where I have met the person on the internet and conducted a mainly internet based relationship. My current boyfriend I see very rarely and mostly have an online relationship with - it's just long distance, not "edating".

So if you had a relationship on the internet for 2 years and then met up afterwards etc. you would still answer no to 'Have you ever e-dated?' - I mean, it would no longer be e-dating, but you would still have e-dated in the past.

Also worth noting that nowhere in the post does it suggest that I'm being negative :)

Nope, personally I'd say "I met my boyfriend/girlfriend on the internet and after 2 years we met up". Everyone's entitled to their own opinion and understanding of the matter though - I tend to notice a correlation between understanding and those that have experienced it/with friends who have. People who seem to disparage it and aren't very nice about it are those that have no understanding, whether through sheer ignorance or just unwillingness to accept difference I don't know.

Using your example though, at the time during the 2 years that person might want to class it as e-dating, because that is a substantial amount of time to be officially "in a relationship" without having a physical relationship which is a big deal for the majority of cis (by that I mean non-asexual/aromantic) couples, but by your OP it looks like you're insinuating that any relationship that began on the internet and ended up real-life would still be classed as an "e-relationship".

[Absently]

yeah, when i was 10 and 12 i think. both for furni :D haha i was such a little habbo golddigger. i remember when i was 12, he literally begged me so much, he was like canadian and called Kamran.

me and jake never e-dated as much as people believe we did :rolleyes: i honestly would be mortified if we had!!

You're totally reading it wrong. I'm saying if you had a relationship that started on the internet, then it is e-dating. It doesn't matter where it ended up, it was still e-dating at some point.

Your logic is like me asking: "Have you ever been to France?" and you saying "I did when I was 6, but because I'm not there now, I've never been"

[wixard]

i have edated once when i was about 12 his name was phil he used this forum and i still have him on facebook
he was a hacker and i thought it was so cool, we had each others names in our MSN personal bio
then i got embarrassed and broke up with him over webcam after about 4 days

thats it, never edated after that

[Kyle]

yup a few times but I never instigated it and guess just went along with it for the sake of it, nothing special really came out of it aside from me being far more cautious and backing off if I feel like I'm getting too close to someone online now.

[RyRy]

I've had both relationships that have remained solely online and relationships that have gone from online to irl. I class both of them at e-dating at some point as you can't say for certain it'll turn into something more until it has done.

Got no problem with people who do it either, I'm doing long distance right now but I see her every month for a weekend at the minimum! Theres a lot of Skyping and what not so kinda feels like edating but no big deal ^_^

[Phil]

I've never e-dated! Not that I don't see anything wrong with it, I just never connected with someone at that level and I'm in a relationship irl and have been for the past two years so that's even more of a reason not to be e-dating :P

[j0rd]

Surprising how many have voted yes.
No for me.

[Zak]

No but I did meet my current girlfriend over Facebook. We did go to primary school together though :P

[kasi]

hahaha yes i dated this guy for like 3 years on and off when i was 9 or 10 (when i first started habbo), then dated someone after that for 2 years when i was 13/14 ish. then there were a bunch of little relationships

[Jazz]

Unfortunately so, I was too socially awkward/scared to get a girlfriend in a generally homophobic part of the UK

[AgnesIO]

Nope, although I imagine it is more likely than ever that some users on here will use online dating websites in the future (not being insulting, but they have grown dramatically...)

Nope. Find it weird. Would never start a relationship with someone unless I had met them!!

[goofyjadico]

nooo it's so dumb
