skype versus real world!

whatsup?

So..can you form a proper relationship with someone you have met online and have only skyped with?
I am going to meet them but is it doomed from the start?

MrStuffins

Yeah, the internet is for losers!

whatsup?

Then you are a loser if you are on here..

ottostreet

I went out with a girl for about 8 months from Skyping.

MrStuffins

On where? I'm on my sofa!

Stinicker

Nah! you must get bladdered drunk, talk sh1te and try dropping the hand. Now thats how "real men" do it.

If this means "I'm going to meet them,"* then what does it matter how the relationship began if you're going to meet them in real life?

*I don't mean to be a Spelling Nazi: I'm honestly not completely sure what it's supposed to mean.

I met my ex online, and we went out for three years. It was never an issue. I'd recommend not thinking about it at all. Just try to enjoy yourself.

Good luck trying to form a relationship thru Skype in Ethiopia.
Its banned!

I started talking to my girlfriend through a Facebook group, and then moved on to skype after a little bit.

We do meet up once a month for a week or so now as we both live in different countries, but with Skype we can talk everyday and it's working out very well, and we do plan on moving in together in the coming months.

I always say give it a shot OP, it can be a bit lonely at times, but if there is a good spark between you face to face then hopefully it will all work out.

If you use skype in Ethiopia you will have up to 15 years to develop a relationship, with your cell mates

What is it with people and being terrified of online dating?
Sure beats trying to score in nightclubs week after week.

I think it be a great way to meet a partner, you get to chat for ages and suss each other out before you meet IRL.

Just make sure you use protection when skyping with someone new and that you don't catch a nasty virus.

Make sure you have good virus protection and that you have no open ports that someone could enter behind your back.

Let us know how you get on, I'm meeting a 22 year old woman from Thailand in 2 weeks, she's gorgeous, although she won't have cam sex.

Its always been my understanding that you cannot form a proper relationship with someone until you meet in real life.

Skype is one thing, and its very useful for breaking the ice , but physically meeting him/her is another

At least you've Skyped her so you know what she really looks like and you're not working off a photograph of a gorgeous looking girl who turns out to be a 58 year old farmer called Benny from Thurles.

Don't even consider it to be an issue, its more common these days than people think.

According to this link 1 in 5 relationships start out online;

http://ilookbothways.com/2010/06/03/1-in-5-new-relationships-begin-on-an-online-dating-site/

I think it makes no difference and if anything it puts less pressure on the early stages of meeting someone since you are both comfortable in your own environment when chatting to each other. I presume you'd get to know each other quite well and then once you meet up there won't be as many nerves etc.

Saying that I've never started a relationship online or through a dating site but my friend has recently joined one for the younger age group, her being 25 and she's enjoying it she met someone she really gets on with and it all started from an online dating site.

So I would just carry on as you have been and don't give it a second thought! Anyone who sniggers at online relationships is probably just a bit misinformed and may not have the courage to look into it

whatsup?

thanks for the responses!! hopefully it all works out

Skype is great because it is free

Instead of ringing friends abroad We can Skype each other
