Girls, sure. Lots of girls online.

Love, generally no, but it's not impossible.

I don't know about advisable, but with the growing popularity of dating sites it's certainly a prevalent option. I met my boyfriend on okcupid. But it really depends. It can be hard to meet people in a lot of cases (in my case I had just moved back to my hometown after being away for a few years and didn't really know anyone).

The best way, in my opinion, requires a very specific combination of situations and the assistance of others:

1.) Have friends. The more diverse their characters, the better (aka: don't just hang with the same 3 people who are all basically the same people with same interests. Get some variety. Have some athlete friends. Have some graphic designer friends. Have some electrician friends. Introverts, extroverts. Friends who like to party, friends who like to Netflix.)

2.) Encourage socializing as large groups on a camping trip, paintball trips, hiking trips, house parties.

3.) Make sure they invite THEIR friends you havent met!

That's it. Seriously. That recipe alone leads to strong relationships that will last. Friends-of-friends. You meet them in a safe, comfortable environment, and you both have at least ONE strong friend in common. They get to see you interact with them in a casual, honest way....and you get to see them interact in a casual and honest way. You get to see the true version of a total stranger, and that's how you get to know someone.

And if you decide to start dating each other, you will be able to go out with that group of friends again and it will be super comfortable because everyone is friends.

And, if these people are "truly" your friends.......they will support your relationship, which is EXTREMELY helpful.

what's your opinion?


It works for some folk. Although I don't know anyone in person who has found a long term relationship online.

what do you think is the best place and best way to find girls or love


I'm still figuring that one out.
Tried:
- Clubs, bar and pubs scene - I suck at chatting up girls and it's too much effort here. Still this seems more like a one night thing anyway.

- Online - I got to know some good people. Some I even still talk to today. The problem is I've never met anyone who actually lives near me so it became difficult to actually meet these people thus we only ever stayed "friends".

Haven't tried:
- Dating apps - Seems a bit of a cluster fuck.

Still I think I think I build better relationships with people online as I find it much more easy to talk to people that way and they get to know you rather than just judging you by your apperence. Either in text or webcam. Of course the goal is to actually meet in person.

Not necessarily. I have a bunch of friends. Maybe it's a little different because finding a same sex partner can be a little harder, but it doesn't always work. I have my close friends that I'm most of the time. Very diverse group. And we also have our friends who are not as close, but hang out a lot. And my other groups of friends that I would hang out with as well. Just having and hangout with friend isn't always enough. Whether you're looking or not. I do agree that friend's should definitely support the relationship. But as you're talking about meeting friends of friends that you don't know well, they're could be a reason they are warning you... The closest O ever got to having a relationship with a friend of a friend(who was eventually a friend) was with a guy who I'm sure he was straight, but there was something once at a party. I always wondered how it would have turned out if he didn't have to leave... He was cute...

That being said, I actually did meet my current SO online. Actually, I straight up hook-up app. We met up once, then a couple more times. Then we sort of had something, then he moved back to town, and it took off from there... I mean, there's more, but that's the just of it.

is it advisable to find a girlfriend on internet?is it possible? what can be better than internet as the place to find a girlfriend?

advisable? eh..
possible? yeah, definitely

-Classes, either at school or just random things/activities/hobbies you sign up for. Like archery, cooking classes, wine tasting shit, etc.
-Through mutual friends, definitely easier to get things going in my experience
-Through work/school/whatever. Also ties into the first one, but having to be around someone fairly often for long periods of time will make you either like each other or hate each other...Kinda easy to get "friend zoned" here
-Cold approach at bars, bookstores, clothing stores, wherever, Pretty dumb unless you're looking for a hookup.

Tinder is pretty shit, most people on there are looking for ego boosts. The girls I've met from there were ok people but weren't really the type of person I'd think about dating? idk, I either hooked up or hung out with them. Didn't really care to get to know the hook ups, hung out/went out with a few a handful of times each and just ghosted them. They were all pretty boring and seemed to have a lot of baggage..

OkCupid was waaay better. Was, though. I signed up for that one like a month ago and they changed the whole thing to be like Tinder-lite. It's like some weird wasteland where I live (most populated area in my state) and messaging/"matching" is a mess...Used to be pretty good.

Idk any others since I don't pay for online dating. I really think you're better off meeting girls in person, tbh. Online dating, for me, always had this weird effect of making caricatures of the people I was seeing? Like, whatever they wrote in their bio/how they presented themselves in the pictures made me a lot more biased or whatever than I was compared to girls I dated who I met offline.

I think times are also changing. Online communication and such is becoming more of a thing. People have met online in the past. It was always unusual to most folks. Now it seems like more people meet online. And it's quite normal, usually. I even have a friend that met his wife online. He games with her a lot. And then they met and got married...

There are a good amount of people that meet through gaming...

That's misleading.

The girls are on Facebook and social networks to talk to their irl friends. Dating sites and forums are sausage-fests.

Nah, it's very easy to craft a persona or false image of who you are over the internet. It works sometimes, but in person communication is always the most effective, albeit the most difficult.

That doesn't mean the Internet isn't a good place to find someone, though. In person communication is better, but talking to someone online first is a good springboard to start from.

In addition to being married to Zang from meeting online, I have a close friend who is happily married with a kid from using Match.com.

I do think that unless you're using a specific dating website, you shouldn't be LOOKING for love on the internet. If it happens it happens, but treating all single people of your preferred gender as potential love interests all the time really gives you an air of creepy desperation.

Well, if you were saving money by paying that sum for a year rather than every month, then I'd say that you'd naturally be less motivated to find a girlfriend during the course of that year, because you know you have at most a year to search for someone before renewing. If you signed up for a costlier (per year) subscription for month, then you'd be wasting less of your time and less of your money, as I see it, because you'd want to find someone before your monthly subscription ended and so you can cancel ASAP. But take this with a grain of salt... I've never paid money for any one of those dating sites before, so I'm not aware if your site has some kind of monthly subscription. <<';

Certain sites have a monthly subscription. Without it, some sites let you do basic things, but not everything. Not sure about eHarmony, though...

You're not allowed to use eHarmony without paying for a subscription. It's all or nothing with them. I thought I was paying for $16 a month when I signed with them. Since thats the way it was displayed. But looking at my bank account, I guess it was all drawn out at once.
