In this age of technology, it is possible to do everything over the internet. You can shop, bank, trade stocks, play games, and research just about anything. But the most fascinating thing you can do online is date. Ten years ago, who would have thought that you would be able to meet, flirt, and date people online without having to ever meet them face to face. More and more websites catering to the online dating community are popping up everyday. E-Harmony, Match.com, Webdate... And then there are those websites that cater to "hook-ups" even though they claim to be communities for all activity. MySpace, BlackPlanet, Facebook...
I must admit, at one time I was on BlackPlanet, chatting it up and having a ball. I had a plethora of friends that I could talk to day or night. Alot of folks on BP were there for something other than "casual friendships" so I had to part ways. Now not everybody was a low-life, I met a few folks on BP that I am still friends with to this day. Shout out to those of you reading this blog... I like to call them my "Sports Boys" because that's how it all began, chit chatting about football in October 2004.
Enough about me...lets talk about this internet dating thing. My guess is the relationship goes something like this. You see the profile online, obviously you see something that interests you. So you send a quick hello to the screenname they have listed. They chat back. And so back and forth you go, flirting vicariously. So you stop sending "notes" on the dating site, and you invite them into the world of instant messaging. Pretty soon you talk whenever you both are online, then that's not enough so you exchange numbers. Now here is where the tricky part comes, after you talk on the phone...do you chance meeting face to face? Hhhhmmm...
This is where things have the potential to get a little sticky, but where you get to find out the person's true intentions. Either they are really into you and they want to take it to the next level or they may like you but the next level depends on what you look like or they just wanted to bone you from jump. Its all game of chance. In Paul Wall's song "Internet Going Nutz" he says
"She e-mailed me this old picture before she had her baby boy
I was ready to pay her a visit, she used to look like Ke-Toi
But, one too many Almond Joys, I went and seen this girl in person
But when that big {chick} opened the door I damn near started cryin and cursin"
lol...Has that ever happened to any of you? How do you know they didn't send you someone else's picture or an old old picture? The funny part is that after he meets the girl and she's not what she seems he says
"What the hell, the first minute I got in range of the nearest Dell
I changed my screenname and my number, this internet pimpin still prevails"
Techno pimpin' at its finest...
How do you know they are not stalkers? Everyone you meet online is not who they claim to be, its dangerous game to play at times.
Ok, weigh in...do you believe in internet dating and its endless opportunities? If so, when is the right time to chance a face to face. Or is internet dating just a quicker way to pick up "booty calls"? I know several of you have met folks online, share your fairy tales or your terrors with us! And yeah, if u have a "booty call" story about that one night when you met a stranger, post anonymously!

I'm not down with the internet dating for that exact reason...too many people acting like something or someone they're not. I'll pass on the potential stalkers and married and/or down low men.
I have met some great people via the internet, One person I live with now, we chatted on line alot, then finally, hookup and became great friends. Now he is my roomie and we are real cool.
1 sex partner
been on 3 dates with internet friend.
2 really cool the other one looked nothing like his profile and he could barely speak english
So its about having level of trust outside of the IM and chat rooms, it can happen you have to be very cautious, there are some crazies out there
I'm glad I didn't know much about these sites when I was in school. I met a girl online in 1995. In order to talk her i had to telnet into a server in California and run UNIX commands to communicate (i.e. who, finger, talk). Met the girl in person and of course she was not attractive (not many UNIX power users are). However I treated her just like she was the beautiful girl in my fantasy. I spent the night in her dorm, we had passionate sex, and afterwards I never logged on again. I missed her afterwards but was too shallow to start a relationship with someone who was a 1 out of 10. If you are out there shorty, I apologise.
very interested in trying....several of my friends have met and married their husbands that way.
Back in the good ole days of Blackplanet I met quite a few people online. Nobody really lied about who they were then so that was never an issue. Most of them just turned into cool guys to hang out with. No serious relationships to speak of.
A friend convinced me to try "blackpeoplemeet.com" last year and the caliber of men on there was enough to make me want to cut my own wrists. One dude had 6 children, had never been married, and made no more than $30,000. How appealing is that sh*t!?! Women keep saying they meet and marry men online but I need to know where.
to 11:18, try www.greatboyfriends.com is the site that several of my friends have met and married. Also, eharmony, there is another, I will find out the other and get back to you.
Black Planet is more "www.bootycall.com"
You gotta know how to weed them out, even on other sites.
Nah, not interested in online dating, etc. I just can't get with falling for someone I've never seen. Call me shallow, but hey whateva!
And teebee, I wouldn't think the DL brothas would be on the site for dates with women, they probably spend their time on the sites for DL brothas. :) And we all know that stalkers are not only found on the web. I've found a couple right in the building I worked in. And my stalkers always seemed to be the brothas you would least supspect.
OK, Yahoo.com is where I met him. Seven years ago next week. I was in NC and he was in NY. Knew I was moving there and put a personal out for firend to show newbie around in NY........
Now before that, I had met several guys on yahoo. Some worked out good, some worked out bad. I was always taught that if u can't find one man who meets all of your criteria, then find several who play a different role. Well thats exactly what I did. One to watch sprots with, one to juice for his dollars, one to keep me company when I was lonely, and one to "relax" me when I needed it.
............Luckily for me, this guy was not crazy, derranged, of anything like that. We chatted on-line several times a week for 3 months before we actually met. Little did either of us know, we had flirted with each other at a red light about a month beofre we actually met. Anyway, to make a long story short, although he is/was not my "TYPE", we dated, he embraced me and my child as his own, helped me house hunt, provided logistical and emotional support for me, proposed to me a year and a month after we met, and married me in 2001. We are still married today. Although he is not on this blog........."Babe, If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!".
A positive and true internet story.
BTW, even my parents were shocked when we shared how we met. I call it fate, because i have heard some horror stories.
for those of you online looking for sex, you should try nudeafrica.com. Amatures post ads with naked pictures. No pop ups and all the bullet holes and STDs you desire.
Awww, New Blogger. What a sweet love story.
One of my friends introduced me to watching live feeds online. Chatted with a few people that way. Never met any of them in person. All that I chatted with I used an alternate id. My plan was never to meet them. Lost interest after a few days and deleted the id.
I have done it. There is a way to internet date. You pick and choose who you want to continue to talk with. It you don't like their conversation, don't write back. If all he wants is a picture, he is not trying to get to know me, don't write him back. If he is only interested in when can we meet, give me your digits, don't write him back. I liked that process of elimination. I could eliminate so many people quickly. Seriously, I met this one guy and we kicked it for about a year. We chatted for about months on line before decided to exchange numbers and then it was my cell. Then our first meeting was a coffee shop, short and sweet, just in case we were not vibing. Luckily, he was an attractive man and he seemed to be on the up and up. We meet out at restaurants at least 5 or 6 times, before I let him come over to the house. No worse than some of the weirdos I have met out at work, at church, the community, etc. I would do it again, of course with caution.
Well, my views are that internet dating is for booty calls yeah I have met some wonderful friends on-line, but I have also met some HOE's. Sadly to say mostly HOE's I know I hae game, but it is not as good as some of these girls try to pretend it is. I don't have a stories of my own, but I some of my friends have met some freaks. I guess most people like the on-line dating because they can be some body that they are not ie. pimps or hoe's. I have met a few stalkers, but of course they get blocked and all is because they are fake I hate catching people in lies.
