It is really somehow surreal to think that there are on line daters. Who are you dating? A computer screen? Words from somebody on the other side of the planet? I think that people who say that they are on line daters are fooling themselves. However, it is understandable to a certain extent. But you should ask yourself who do you really like? Or what? Your boyfriend in the flesh if you are having one, or your on line fantasy. The on line daters are pure fiction. In my opinion one should be very realistic about it.

The fact that you are hooking up with somebody on line at the same time every day without being actually with him is not good. It is like eating a plastic pasta that resembles the real one. You know the right ingredients, but something is missing.

On the other hand, it is up to the couple to decide whether they are dating on line. If they think that they do, then I have nothing against it. After all, it is none of my business. But, I would never consider such a relationship as a good and real one. The main factors are missing the reality and everything connected with it! However, who am I to judge? As long as they are not hurting anyone, it is fine with me. But, if I had a friend who is in this so called on line relationship, I would certainly tell her how I feel about it.

The concept of on line dating is so artificial to me. It is like having a conversation with your partner who is in prison. I find this conversation also difficult and artificial. You are talking, but over the phone and behind the window. And you are dating someone behind the screen?!

In a way it is deeply sad and serious when someone is reduced to an on line date. Dating should be connected with real people who interact in vivid, colourful situations. There is obviously something tragic in this. Maybe I am too harsh but this on line dating is lacking all the drama, feelings, emotions of a real one. And what about kissing and hugging? Making love? These are also important ingredients of dating. I would not certainly be reduced to the screen! It lacks everything! Most of all I would be missing love and laughter!

On line daters should better get advice on how to find a real partner. It is not healthy to imagine that you are dating someone on line. You are only dating in your imagination. Then, you never know if he or she is dating somebody else beside you in reality and on line. You can never be sure about it.

On line dating is fiction of love. You can write and write for a long time with somebody else. But, in a way, you are writing an imaginary kind of love, not the real one. You are typing your love instead of living it!
