I'm not involved with anyone at the moment, and I don't see myself getting involved with anyone for quite a long time. I've only really had one serious relationship in my life and we met through mutual friends, none of whom I knew online.

I have to admit, though, some of the most interesting people I've met in real life I've met through GW.

No but I went to visit friends I met online.

I don't trust the internet. I prefer meeting people by GETTING OUT MORE OFTEN.

What makes you think people outside are any better

What makes you think people outside are any better

- Most dating sites charge you a helluva lot just so you can exchange messages, while in real life you don't have to pay shit unless you head down to some nightclub.
- I can get to know them better such as visiting their relatives or hanging out with them, instead of assuming everything put down on text is 100% accurate.
- Less risk chance of being tricked/scammed when you meet someone in real life. Because not everyone on the internet says things that they actually mean;you could actually just be exchanging messages with a 40 year old sexual predator who pretends to be a jailbait 15 year old blonde chick. Sure, you may never know if she's a transvestite or not, but if you have good instincts that this person may be the kind that you're after, then go for it. Atleast it's better than getting your ass molested by a 40 year old sexual predator.
- You can have REAL intimacy/sex with that person instead of just lusting after text.

there are things called cars and planes that make these things possible with online relationships too

they are amazing inventions

I ALMOST had a relationship with a girl I met online though when I met her we were meeting as friends and there wasn't even a hint of romance in our MSN conversations, That's the closest I've ever been.

I think Drule made this thread because his dream is GW to be part indie game dev part dating site.

there are 3 maybe 4 members from new zealand, here and on the internet at large, and they're all guys. i'd have to be pretty crazy about someone to fly to them

i voted no, in real life just in case it showed usernames and i didnt want people to know i'm single.

Met through friends on MSN, so technically yes. 3 years later we're still together.

Lucky bastards.

I met my ex girlfriend online through a friend I knew in real life, she lived about an hour away. We met up a couple of times but it didn't really work out. I met my current girlfriend at college nearly three years ago and we're still together now.
