Your opinion on online dating.
 

What is your personal opinion on online dating?

It sounds pathetic, and some people on it are really pathetic to be honest. But it is a good idea, and it's a nice idea.

I'm talking actual online/graal/game dating. Not like, meet someone online and then have a possibility to go and meet them in person. That's just kind of pathetic.

IMO it's sad and, well pathetic.

I mean the people on the online dating websites.

Graal dating is ridiculous, because most of the people who do it aren't old enough and know nothing about what it is and what it means. Other games I guess are the same.

Long distance relationships, which are similar, are okay.

imo.

most people who date in graal are 13 and under
its kind of sad when you think about it.

People take dating on Era seriously?

Online dating doesn't equal Graal dating 99% of the time.

when the say things like 'I could not live without you babe'.

It depends on the circumstances

Why do you people care about what other people choose to do if it's not affecting you?

Graal Dating is strange considering the playerbase it has, a player will likely never know the real age between them and their "partner", for all we know one could be 17 and the other could be 12.

However, online dating in general, as in when you meet on one of those online dating sites, is not necessarily a bad thing. Considering the way technology is moving, everyone relying on technology more and more, I predict in 10 - 15 years more relationships will have derived from meeting online rather then face to face.

1 in 5 relationships now start online.

This.

I don't mind people who online date, it doesn't concern or affect me and people should do what they want to do. Some people simply aren't socially outgoing (inb4 beta) and have to resort to online dating to start a relationship, which is no problem to me. It's their choice.

If you plan on meeting the person in real life and talk over Skype or something and have a serious relationship I don't see why not. If you're just going to date online or have a fake online relationship that's really stupid.

If you're looking online for people with the intention of having a real relationship then that seems okay to me.

Graal relationships are stupid and anyone who engages in them is delusional if they truly think they love someone like that.

ANY relationship situation where you have never met the other person in real life and don't know who they really are when they arent behind a screen is not a true relationship.

It's called having an opinion.

As it says online dating not being specifically to graal. I would say it's okay as long as you actually keep things moving forward. Meeting the person, starting the relationship, moving on to actually seeing each other through some type of communication, physical or cyber. Sometimes actually nobody knows what is to come. You might find your "one to be with" or find a disappointment. Love prevails over all! Until you actually find a lunatic to see you in real life and kidnapping you, but hey that's like 1 in a thousand.

There's more than a thousand people on classic... *shifty eyes*

My windowless van has gone on many a journey.

But online relationships aren't exactly mediocre or pathetic. It's just another way to meet someone, although it may be odd in the sense that your first contact with a person is over the interwebz. If it makes people happy, then so be it.
Ah. Young love.

dating online on graal is funny. I dunno why they do it, but if that's what they like, good for them. Online dating on sites made for it, i used it before and i somewhat like it.

So if two people meet on Graal and a relationship forms between them that's stupid, but paying money to sign up for a dating website is not? I think your opinion is stupid.

I don't really care, It's just another way to be close to someone in a game in my opinion. I personally wouldn't do it and would rather date someone a bit closer to home. But I don't really mind online dating, doesn't affect me at the slightest.

It isn't that bad, sometimes its horrible but if they both have several reliable means of speaking to each other (skype, text, etc etc) i don't see why not?

Aw look at the iClassic admin defending all the 10 year olds who have sex role play on his server.

Yeah its stupid because those kids have no intention of ever meeting the other person in real life. Adults going on eHarmony or something to seek a REAL relationship is an entirely different thing. Terrible comparison on your part, do you really not see the difference?

That's not what I'm doing at all. What I'm saying is that there's nothing wrong with two people meeting on graal, or any other game for that matter, and forming a relationship. Actually it would make a lot more sense to me to meet a person via a video game as opposed to having to shell out a monthly fee to be matched with someone.

So not exactly a terrible comparison on my part, more like ignorance on yours.

I've actually met quite a lot of cool people on the internet and even couchsurfed with one who lived in London a few years ago. (We were MSN friends and I still contact him every now and then).

There are lots of people who met people online and ending up meeting them irl. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes they find out there dating a 10 year old. You just got to be careful.
Fun fact, the singer Lights met her husband on WoW.

Lights Fan? if so *high five*
if not *die*

lights is so qt3.14

Im fine with it. :)

oh noes ppl r datin on de enternetz!?!?!??!!1!1!1!!!!! call de polece it turible.

Redicilous,you can't do anything in online dating which means you can do a lot more in person.I used to online date once,but got a girlfriend in real life in 2012.So I don't mean you mustn't try it,but don't take it to seriously

You can, you know, meet the person in real life?

Does anybody here plan on meeting up with a fellow Graalian one day or will it be too awk?

I've met some Xbox/League friends irl.

This is off topic and not as cool as yours, but I have someone added on my friends list out of all the people on Xbox Live and met him again on Graal by coincidence.

People actually date? Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

That's only in America.Era Russian people are rare

We're talking about online dating in general, not Graal dating.

i met a friend on graal in real life but he lives like 20 minutes from me, and HONEY BADGER lives pretty close to me too but i havent met him.

Me, Drooz, and Qtiip all went to the same high school. I never met them in person though.

You guys want to hear a joke?

Online dating. ba dum tss

That is the coolest coincidence ever.

If anyone has heard of LuckyStar321 on xbox live forum pm me.

This.

The people who walk up to you irl and ask to date aren't and different to the players in graal or any other game who do the same thing. And the friendships some people make on graal are actually real, and they may want to take it a step further. I don't see any problem with it.

one day i will meet rufus


by force if i must...:giggle:

I think Trigger is still with Aikan, they met on graal.

but you're already rufus
