Ok. When you go on a date in real life, most of the time you're dating a stranger and you're trying to get to know a person. When dating online, you talk to them eaither in chat rooms or IM. Then you guys decided to meet up and go on an actual date. A lot of people think that dating online is eaither sick or taboo. I understand that some people lied online about eaither their age or what they look like. But what happened if what they say is the truth? Then when they went on dates and still chat online. They end up getting married and such. People asked them how they meet and they said We met online. After they said that, people began to crinch. So is dating online a wrong thing to do? Even if it works out really well? Why is it such a taboo to date online?
