u might be surprised, but there is a chance to meet a nice guy online! but don't get all ur hopes up, and keep in mind that a long distance relationship is such a pain in the AS$ sometimes!
there is the risck that it won't lead u anywhere! it's a start--- if the guy wants to meet u(like sara saied) but after all it has to become real!
be aware of the players, there r a lot of them!

I for one would not prefer dating online, but then again as u are all aware that life is becoming harder for everyone and fast tracked day by day especially here in the UAE. So i guess, i think i would do it, date online, why not? At the end of the day, both people should be mature enough and set a rule of being open with each other, and each of them would plainly express whether he/she like the other person and can go on with it. Otherwise, they can just be frank with each other and say that it will not work for atleast one of them and here the maturity comes, that both should accept the each other's opinions with no strings attached. I would go with a casual cup of coffee - no drinking- so that both are sober and can judge perfectly.

u know 2 b honest I TRIED IT
yeah truth shall be said uh huh...
I think its better to leave it, after my
experience with all that!!!
its funny now when thinkin about
the whole thing
O-K, if that guy is gonna come for sure to meet you<-- this'd mean he's serious, really serious about you both, developing the relation & all that!!!
& if also you know that this guy isn't a fake one
you know over the internet you can be ANYONE
that ain't YOU!
You're right. The best thing to do is to know the person well. There were some guys that have bad intentions when meeting girls, so beware.Dubai Knight wrote:The anonymous nature of online dating can serve to be an advantage and a disadvantage:
Your online personality can reflect the real inner you as opposed to the physical presence which is cased in all sort of problems and insecurities...if you are a genuine and honest person, it should shine through. Often it gives both people a chance to connect on a temporal level first as opposed to just a physical or chemical one.
However, there are those out there who are predatory and try to disguise themselves so that the real person is nothing like the identity...these are scary and this is where most people find internet dating a potential minefield.
Difficult to identify the fakes but you soon find out when you meet them in real life.
Best of luck!
