Do you believe online would work as well? ama is it a total disaster?

even if U meet a person on facebook / snet / dating website aka muslims singles


U still have to meet each other in real life FIRST before U can make a decision if U want to be with that person

that is true but I am speaking about the first encounter

i have no problem with online

i think sometimes its much eaiser to start talking then real life ......................... because in real life i get kind of shy

Are you talking about having the whole relationship be online and not seeing them face to face or...?

What are the pro's the cons' and what not.

Pros: The only one I can think of is I guess if you're lonely you can talk to the person and talk about what you're going through in your real life with them.

Cons: People lie.

It depends on the individuals really, it's just matter of personal choice. I for one hate online dating because I don't take internet seriously. Why do you ask? Are you here to meet your soulmate?

how about we say for instance a guy notices you in real life has a thing for you and doesnt get the chance to talk to you so he finds your fb and he then decides to send you a message or you know shoot you a friend request

and mind you that you have no clue who he is but that he is interested in you - what would you think of this?

Lool i asked because I know plenty of people who have met online and I for one have always through out the years been against it but slowly my thought has been changing about it maybe its because of aging?

but seriously though no i ask because if you look at meeting someone online first compared to meeting in real life first they both start out with not knowing who the person is or anything about the person (unless you know them)

but the only difference is social standards iyo norms

I think this is okay. Many of my friends do this. They meet a guy that they like while they're out and they exchange facebooks. They then take it from there.

well then wouldn't that be considered online dating? because they took it from online first?
