I met this guy online last month via Facebook.

He’s on the wrong side of the country but we started chatting as friends. However, this week he recently hinted that he would like to take it a step forward by dating. ONLINE. LONG-DISTANCE. 😯

On one hand it sounds ridiculous because we have never met in person….on the other hand, I find myself constantly checking my FB more and more to see if he has left me a message that I can respond to.

Oh mighty interwebs I need your sage advice! Has anyone gone through this // is going through this right now? Am I crazy? Or is this now the direction that dating is going in for our generation?

How old are you? What do you want in a relationship?

If you want a committed, monogamous relationship that leads to marriage or some commitment that’s like marriage, then you should take dating seriously and don’t waste time with people you can’t interact with in person. It’s fine to engage with someone you’ve met online, because he may be interested in dating you in real life, and the internet was just a tool that you used to meet. But it’s not a good place to conduct an entire relationship. I hope that helps. Let me know how things go.

Ask him what his plan for you, if he want serious or not.
But you must aware this situation also because you really don’t know if he is serious or not.
I had experience dating online site. All I thought he is serious, he talked to me all the time, almost everyday, called me almost every night. Seeing him in Skype. He support me financially too. We talked more about in future. But one day his friend (girl) message me in Facebook telling that the person I trusted is not single, his a married man. Of course I was shocked. Then at first I didn’t believe him but every time I asked him about his status he got angry. So, I decided to stop. And then he stop sending message in my Facebook too. A month ago, his brother confirmed that his brother was a married man.

So, I told to myself that I don’t trust online people. Much better to look someone who will meet you personally. Don’t waste your time with him,
