What are you opinions of online dating?

I've been talking to this guy for a little over a week. And we hit it off really well. He hasnt asked for my number yet. And I probably wont have a problem giving it him. He seems like a well adjusted,nice guy

He hasnt ever met anyone from online before, he was stood up for the first time late night. And I did once and it was an odd experience.

So what do you guys think? Should I take a cance?

Update:

I meant should I take the chance and meet him

Update 2:

I have terrible luck meeting people in real life. So why not?

    Online dating got me laid more times then real dating did. So yeah, take a chance.

    Well that's what it is. A chance. Hopefully you're a good judge of character. That helps. The thing is, no matter how good you are at sizing people up; you still run the risk of hooking up with dangerous people. The thing is, anyone is 'capable' of seeming normal or nice. But who's to say that once they meet you and or get close to you that they won't turn into a wolf? It's a dangerous world out there. I'm not saying this guy is trying to rape you or anything, but in my own personal opinion I'd hold off on the phone or any other private information for a while. Maybe you could try buying a mic for your computer so you can 'talk' to him without typing out things all night? Just whatever you do, be careful. Try suggesting 'meeting' him in a public area. Maybe a group thing? You and your friends? Be careful.

    You have to be so very careful about meeting someone you have talked to on line. I did that for the first time a week ago. We had been talking for a month. My grown daughter was so worried about me that she called every hour to check on me! At least he knew that someone would hold him responsible if i disappeared!

    We met and talked for hours and hours. We missed each other as soon as we parted. It turned out great for us, but just be so very careful and make sure someone knows who you are with, where they live, their phone number, where you are going, and will call to talk to you a few times. This is just needed for your own safety. Don't ignore that idea.

    Well life is about taking chances, you just gotta becareful with how you go about taking it. Your not dating yet just chatting and getting to know each other, but when you do go out meaning meeting each other in person, make it in public. Enjoy while your still young and single.

    I would not be in favor of online dating. It is difficult as it is to get to know some. Definitely do not give your number. If you decide to meet, go to a crowded place.

  • People can tell you anything over the internet. That doesn't mean it's true. I could tell you right now that I am Pamels Anderson's twin sister, and believe me, that's definitely a LIE! It's better to not get too involved till you meet someone in person.

    you never know who they are or what they are until you see them in person. so don't get your hopes high before you see the person in flesh and check through all important things(no criminal records, substance abuses,sexual offenses, bankurpcy, etc...) for all you know his brother could be answering all your messages......
