However, to have a real relationship with someone you met online is possible and indeed does happen frequently. The point is that it's just another way of meeting people. It's perhaps not for everyone and that's OK too. There's obvious downfalls like people misrepresenting themselves but you quickly distinguish between real and fake if you know what to look out for (gullible people fail at this). All the people I met in person, were real yes? :) None of them were from outer space either. The fact that you saw someone you know who misrepresented herself, simply means you know a person who is not truthful and obviously someone who does not take it seriously since she'll make a fool of herself once she meets someone in person, since she'll get caught out on her lies in seconds. Seeing one bad movie does not mean you should stop watching movies altogether. Phemelo,

I only plucked up the courage to read them now because writing this sort of thing ... well, it tends to raise eyebrows. My question did not actually pertain to myself, since I have to interest in being picked up - but having heard the stories I am intrigued. Apparently one former colleague had a brilliant strategy: he'd date all the divorced women with kids in the agency, shack up with them, score free holiday weekends, and leave when the demands for sex got too much. Or so I hear. PS "those wedding" as a Captcha phrase?? You've got to be kidding me. Interesting responses.

For instance,I saw someone I know misrepresenting herself on SADating.co.za.So do excuse us from the way the Americans look at life,love and marriage. @Peter

I've met a lot of women through that particular site and it has turned my social life upside down. :) 1 in 8 americans that were married last year, met online. It's not something people frown about anymore, or at least not in the world I live in. Have to agree with Robin Grant, that Dating Buzz site is a great idea.
