To begin with, I have never had and don't have a myspace or any face book junk because people online are not people; they are photos, blurbs and stories. people online want to show off certain aspects of who they are. These aspects don't normally include flaws. I have never dated online, but I have had my fair share of boyfriends and what made me adore them more and more were not there moments that would make a good picture. The moments I loved were the moments you could find beauty in what isn't considered pretty. When I say this I don't mean how girls chose to not smile in pictures, but make a "cute" ugly face. It's when the person you are physically attracted to, have things in common and just have chemistry do something like slip and fall, pick their nose or even let out a big stinky fart and somehow make you smile from these things. These things are what traditional dating have that online dating cannot have because you have time to think of your words, some ones eyes are not making you nervous and they can be farting and picking their nose the entire time your talking and you will never know. Traditional dating is the way to go because dating should not be a hobbie or a hunt it just flows when it is suppose to and where its supposed to.
I also believe that you can never become comfortable with someone you only chat with. I am a huge fan of Pulp Fiction and as Uma Thurman said in the movie "you know you are really comfortable with some one when you can just shut the f... up." How can you know that you could go on vacation with some one that you only know through an internet site? How can you decide you want to spend time with someone you have never spent time with before? Dating takes too much time, money and emotions to think that you can find it all by punching in what you want in a search engine. People are more complicated than street addresses and should not be found the way you find the closest pizza place to your house.

I agree with Anna. I think when online people only show a certain side of themselves. You don't really know who they are. It reminds me of a country song by Brad Paisley "so much cooler online." The song is about a man who lives with his mom but online he's six feet tall, drives a fancy car. I think that is how alot of people online are. There is no way in knowing if what they are telling you or if the facts on their myspace, or blog are the truth. If you meet them they might not even look like their pictures. I would never internet date because i would be too scared that they weren't really who they say you are. But i guess there are some honest people out there and it does work for some people.
