I'm not so sure this is a Yes or No question. There are many situations surrounding dating someone on an internet forum.

To me, it's like any other person you'd meet online.

Define "Internet forum". Do you mean an online forum for dating like match.com?

Hi Sheri,

My definition of Internet forum is any forum on the Internet excluding online dating agencies. I voted ‘Yes’ because I have done it before and would do it again!

>Okay, I wanna know who voted "No"! LOL ;)

I know how to find out. I will ask each woman here for a date until I get a refusal.

I didn't cast a vote - I guess that my answer is a big, fat 'maybe.' While I enjoy the online community, I think that it creates a false sense of intimacy. Personally, I don't think that I could get to know someone on here or anywhere in cyberspace very well. While you all know a bit about my views on dating and men, that's a pretty small part of it. And I really don't like email or talking on the phone. The few times I have tried internet match sites, I have always proposed meeting if we like on another's profiles. It's the only way that I can get a sense of whether I am even vaguely interested in a man. That's why I prefer things like speed dating and meeting people in organizations and just socially.

Ah, ok. Then my answer would depend on whether it was a local forum or we otherwise had the chance to meet in person sooner rather than later.

But I certainly wouldn't rule it out completely.

Oh, absolutely - I'm also on the online dating board (I don't have a profile up currently - I'm taking my time putting one back up - I've only been single again for a week and a half LOL), and that's the number one piece of advice - TAKE IT OFFLINE ASAP or you develop that false sense of intimacy, that you think you "know" the person, and your expectations are too high - then if that chemistry isn't there in person...


So, yes, I voted "Yes" but
