E-Dating - Right or Wrong?

[clueless]

i dont see how its either right or wrong. it only effects themselves so why does it matter to anyone else anyway if its 'right' or 'wrong'
as long as they are happy then who cares if its edating, what is it to anyone else?

If the two people involved want to date online without meeting then good for them because they actually found someone that they love, want to be with and everything and they are doing that. Why should the fact that they aren't physically together change that? There is alternatives which aren't the best things in the world to make up for the lack of being with each other and couples who are just away from each other for a short amount of time do the same thing and by things I mean phone sex, cybering, sending pictures/being on webcam and stuff. I believe it's possible and there isn't any right or wrong about it because it doesn't actually effect anyone else in anyway unless they get themselves involved in a way that does effect them.

But, having said all that, I wouldn't do it myself because I couldn't handle the emotional side of not actually being with the other person.

A good relationship is built around trust, I don't think you can EVER trust someone through a screen because even if you've known them for years they could have faked for years much like "5x6" aka "imchels" on habbo sending pics around saying they were her then being exposed as a fake. That's just one example there are many more but a lot of them use the forum so I best not ol:

[leah]

no, it is okay to like someone over the net imo and flirtblahblahblah cause that's fun but edating is pointless, even if you're GOING to meet because you're not gonna know how you'd be with each other if you hadn't met yet. I think it's alright to have long distance relationships if you meet up FIRST and occasionaly otherwise no

Exactlyyyy

for people who can't get any girls where they live


of course, i fall into that category.

haha

will you e-date me please?

sry no i have standards

hmph. ihu now.

why did i say in the first place? i was asking for it

Just a tad

Not really. And i think that e-dating is ok if you've met and intend to meet again but like people have said be careful because it's so easy to be someone you're not online

I don't think its edating if they've met, I see E-dating if they meet online and never meet, but date. I think people can flirt and like people on the net, id meet someone if I liked them but I wouldn't edate because its pointless.

I Agree with the last part you said, about its not edating if theyve met, although it still is long distance, but thats ALOT less sad than edating.

I don't think it's right or wrong.
If someone does it it's their choice...

[Antallica]

Wrong. I think if you meet them regularly it's right. but, just dating over the tinternet is pointless.

[leah]

Yeah, if you have a boyfriend who you have never met then that is quite sad, however if you liked someone over the interwebs, met them and then went out it would be classed as a long distance relationship which isn't sad atall.

You can't express love over the internet. For all you know this person could be a paedophile. If you have met eachother before at some point and you know what they are like, it could be fun, but you must understand it can never be that serious.

In a way I think that its wrong because it can be pretty dangerous not really knolwing whos on the other end, and theres the whole expression through text, although with the revolution of the webcam/mic, that may not be a real issue nowadays. On the otherhand, I know people who have met up on the internet and are together and are perfectly happy with their lives so, I suppose its a two-sided coin for those think its right with plenty of reasons for, and for those who think its wrong with plenty of reasons as well.
