Is online dating normal?

90% the guys I met online either tried to be all pervy and gross or email/text stalked me. I gave that up and met my bf in real life

Be very, very careful. My friend got mixed up with a pervert that abused her.

It's getting a lot more common but I still wouldn't do it

Well its not "normal" per se, since it is a completely unnatural way of meeting people - Think about it - being able to search and browse through thousands of people, read up on them, see pictures, see their likes and dislikes etc.. Its only something that has been possible in the last 15 years or so.
That being said, I use it - Its a great way to meet people, but I'm still single, but thats just coz I'm just a fussy fuck :)

There's nothing weird about online dating, I do it myself too. Only you got to be aware that not everybody has good intentions, but that's the same as in real life. It's especially good for shy people who don't have the nerves to find a partner the traditional way.

The benefit is that you know one thing for sure: everybody on that site is single and looking. There's no such thing as trying to hook up with someone who is already in a relationship.

There are a lot of datingsites and each of them works in a different way. But they got one thing in common, in the end they all want to make money. Some of them (like OKCupid, wich I'm currently using) are mostly free and only some bonuses cost money. On others you got to pay for just about everything. There is no such thing as an all-free dating site, but so far OKCupid comes closest.

Go for it if you are looking for an emotionally available guy who wants a relationship they are def on match.com ! Get ready for an all day text a thon if you give out your phone number. And check the guys hight! They are always shorter then they look in pictures haha. I went on match for a month to practice dating I didn't take it seriously and hurt some guys feelings.. But I learned a lot and I would do it again if I wanted a guy who actually wants to find love. My friends told me I shud have just gone on oKcupid if I was just looking to be silly and meet boys for fun, but the online dating thing stressed me out wen i had to tell guts one date doesnt mean anything ... and I prob won't do it again for a while

Normal...one of my good friends met her husband on match...just be smart about it. Good luck!

I tried it out, it's just as bad as irl dating

There's nothing weird about it per se...but it sucks major ass. All I met were freaks and a lot of ugly people when I tried online dating. Just go up to somebody in person and ASK them out...it will save you SO much trouble

It's not weird. If you find someone you care about then it's fine

I think its pretty normal
But you have to be careful
Because sometimes there are
bad people out there that just
want to do you harm. So just be
aware of that when you do meet in
person or something, I myself have
met a few peopl off the internt :P

If the statistics are to be believed at all, Match.com apparently has 15 million members worldwide... and that's just one website! Just in my social circle, I know three people who met their partners via internet dating. You thinking about it? There's nothing weird, just give it a go and find out.

I heard something like 25%% of married couples met online...not weird at all
