Is it normal for a 19 year old to online date?

I personally don't think you should have any reason to feel like a loser.

Nerd moment in 3...2.....1......the internet was made, well, for business reasons, but we'll just assume that isn't so, due to today's usage of it.....so, in this "new" age of internet apps, social sites, dating sites, whatever, i think it's pretty badass when someone who just doesn't like going out randomly or has no way to go out, can meet someone so seemingly AWESOME as you (or that guy you mentioned)!! [[compliment, yay!!]] =D

Seriously though, I mean, the internet is just basically a tool to bring everyone closer, right? It seems to be working =}

And to that, I say, good luck <3

Okay, true story for you. I have a friend and she is absolutely drop dead gorgeous and she also met her bf on a dating site and when one of her friends asked "Why a dating site? You could have gone to any nightclub and find a guy just like that" my friend turned to her and replied "Because I want a relationship, not just some random who is dtf" :-)

Heey theres nothing wrong with that, i met my bf online and now were feonceed :)

Its all well and good, but I think you really have to be cautious when it comes to that sort of stuff. I mean, meeting people online...eh... it can be a set up for something dangerous.

The thing that always comes to my mind when I think of online dating is someone going to meet this person that they met online, and end up having there body found miles away from there home. Sure, thats a very disturbing thought, and we all pray something like that doesn't happen. But I think it's good to think of all the possibilities, that including the bad.

We live in a very sick world with very sick people.

I never understood those people who met someone online and then traveled across the country to meet them by themselves, or even at all. It just opens too many doors for trouble.

There was this one guy who came into my work and seemed like a nice guy. He was 21, cute smile, nice eyes, but I had only seen him once, and that day that I first saw him... he asked me for my number, and if we could meet up somewhere to go out. But he mentioned a ridiculous hour to meet up. It was over the winter, and it was gonna be pitch black at this time, and I knew I would not be waiting in a quiet parking lot, alone, for some guy that I only saw one time come into my work. I didn't go out with this guy, and I've never seen that guy ever since. It's just a very scary thing. You really have to be careful.

Attitudes like this are the root of online dating failures...
"There must be something wrong with him, right? If he has to resort to online dating."
You joined--is there something wrong with you? No. You joined to entertain yourself, then used it as it was intended for--to connect with another and eventually find someone. Online dating is a practical tool.

i say fudge u ppl hating on online dating. and if u met him is real life i fail to see the problem. if u assume that anyone that uses a online site is either trolling for sex, or have a problem, ur being unfair and stereotyping. many normal, sweet ppl due to anxiety or just lack of self confidence, or maybe, just a whim, may be using the site.

I wish u luck on ur relationship

sounds like a good idea, all that talking and getting to know each other before you meet, good luck

Just to clarify, I did meet him in person and we do have an actual relationship. I thought he was attractive online so I met him in person right away. I'd rather get to know someone face to face as opposed to a computer screen.

Basically, we sent each other maybe, 4 messages, and exchanged phone numbers and agreed on a meeting spot. That's the only online interaction that we've ever had.

you like each other, right? it doesn't matter if you have yet to meet for real. hopefully you can meet sometime. good luck to you:)

Sometimes I think about the whole "online dating" thing... I would never join because I dont see the point.

Also I think people who do it have their own personal problems... I'd be careful before pursuing a relationship with this guy. Normal good looking people do not pursue online relationships.
Trust me.
