No, I don't think you're not naive to think that. It can happen.
There are a zillion ways to meet people. Think about all the strange stories you have heard about people falling in love after crashing their cars into each other or getting stuck in an elevator together or bumping into each other at the STD clinic (j/k). It happens every day, and often in ways we never expect. I can't guarantee you that it will happen that way to you, but it is certainly a possibility.
I'm curious, though: does online dating seem like a last resort to you? A lot of people think that, and I don't get it. If we're spending hours a day online, talking to people on Facebook and Twitter and blogs, it only makes sense that relationships can start that way. I see nothing wrong with it.
To each her own, though. I'm all for holding out for what you want, and you're young, so time and the odds of an old-fashioned meet-cute are in your favor. But if it doesn't happen and you decide one day to try more proactive approaches like online dating, there's nothing wrong with that, either.
Good luck, and thanks for the question.
I dont know why, but if i meet someone in person, i am completely fine, no shyness, no worrying til i almost throw up about meeting them for the first time.. no OMG is he going to be what i expect?? or nasty surprises with people and theyre "so called" pictures.. which are all things i go through with internet dating.
If im talking to them for a couple weeks before we meet im okay but, what guy really wants to do that? theyre very physical usually..
In short, internet dating makes me absolutely queasy...maybe its the same for her ?
Yeah, I would never meet someone for a date whose pictures I haven't seen. I wouldn't even start a conversation without pictures.
I don't see how "bad" dates due to people misrepresenting themselves online is any more different than bad dates with the people you meet in person. Unless you are saying that you've never had a bad date with people you personally met.
I have been on some VERY bad date through on line dating...I have gone on some VERY bad dates with people I've met and they asked me out.....I just (about 2 months ago) met, what I think is the most amazing man EVER through an online site...I think either way, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince! Good luck!
I don't think you could find the right guy through online dating. Only you know what type of guy you're attracted to and who you like. Don't let the internet tell you who you should date and what guy the internet thinks is best for you. Make your own decisions and make sure you find the right guy.
I think you misunderstand the point of online dating. The internet doesn't TELL you who you should date. It SHOWS you that there are people out there that you might not meet otherwise. You look for they type of guy that you are attracted to and that you like and then you see about going on a date with that person. I would have never met the AMAZING guy I am seeing right now, who only lives 20 minutes from me, if I hadn't tried it. (granted, I met some weirdos too).
Let's just say, Internet dating can widen your realm, and take you to places you wouldn't necessarily go on a regular day.
