Online dating - Your opinions?

Online matchmaking? Sure.
Online dating? No. It just seems fake to me.

Online matchmaking refers to kicking off an IRL relationship via the internet and continuing it in the real world.
That seems fine to me , but online dating can't be good for development. Its always better to get out there and experience things in person. Online dating often leads to nowhere and it doesn't work out.
Anyone ever seen catfish? It can also make you very vulnerable and can sometimes affect you in the long run.
My advice? Stay away from online relationships. I have also tried continuing real life relationships online (girls I meet abroad) and they usually just fizzle out over time.
Love lives and the web don't really suit each other IMO.

No thanks, too fake

I'll be honest, I've online dated a few guys on some more "mature-like" games. I wouldn't ever do it on Minecraft though, that's ridiculous. I think it's becoming a bit more acceptable as electronics have become prevalent in society now-a-days; plus, it helps some shy people gain more confidence

i thought online dating and online matchmaking was the same but i guess not. because those dating sites that i use are for finding women to date irl. but if people prefers to strictly stay online, idc.
