I need advice on online dating....

[Mortimer]

Did you ever had an internet relationship and what was the widest distance? I had a girl sitting in america and one in india. Both i never met because i didnt managed it, i think its possible to meet across the ocean or continents but you need to be strongly willed and able. You also need money (a plane ticket is very expensive) and time (off from work etc.)? Also what if you meet her or him once or twice for a week or two, but it doesnt work out, or you make visa for him/her or she/he for you, you need to consider that you would need change location for your partner or he for you, you need to leave parents,friends,relatives your environment and be far away from them at a new place.

Your thoughts?

Can't say that I have.

I had one long distance relationship once (same country tho), didn't work up. Things are better face to face IMO.

So...out of frustration for being 28 and never having been in a relationship (and because my 25 year old brother is getting engaged next month)....I made an online profile the other day.....

A lot of the guys that messaged me were "creepy"....but I looked at this one guys profile...and he seemed attractive (personality and look-wise)....he messaged me...and we went back and forth....and then he suggested we go out for dinner....(we were both looking for something long term). I agreed....

But then I asked other people what they thought of meeting someone online....and they thought it was creepy....

The guy is 31...he is into health, like me....he is starting nursing school (I didn't tell him i'm in med school...cause guys seem to get turned off by this)....

And so...I kept thinking of what other people were telling me about online dating...and the fact that if my parents found out they would be very, very, angry with me...so I told him it's off...

And then he messaged me back saying he really wants to meet me...and that he's understanding...and hopes I change my mind....

Sometimes I feel so indecisive....and again...I have NO relationship experience...

So...should I just keep the "date" canceled, or give him a try?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe it could be the right Decision to date him.
But your Area seems to be very conservative which directs the ones you consulted to a different opinion.
Maybe you should date him or not ..

Some people have no Relationship experience aswell.

Thanks for your help, Arne....it's really my family that is pretty conservative....and there seems to be a stigma attached to people that practice online dating.....

And the main thing keeping me from doing it....is what my parents (esp my dad) would do if he found out.....it would not be pretty....and I already get yelled at enough as it is from him.

Maybe it could be the right Decision to date him.
