OMG Pericles - you've found religion!

Dear CJ... I would not begrudge you in the slightest for having found your joy via the net. Well done and power to you both.

I think it's probably more of an exception than a rule but not a tiny exception.

As long as people are honest and forthright and don't misportray themselves..and those who persue such relationships follow some common sense guidelines...why worry? I'ts just another method among many.

I guess the topic key words of "Instant" love or dissappointment can refer to that moment when the parties meet up and suddenly realize the pic was verrrrry old :) or.. verrrrry accurate.

cheers and blessings.

Pericles.. good 1

Polycarp,

There is a danger of meeting someone through church groups. Often in small towns, a young single man will be pressured into dating and then marrying a young lady in the church. About all they often have in common is they both go to church. I have seen this happen, and have seen most of these marriages end in divorce. I had someone try to match me up with a girl years ago. Had that happened I know were we would be now. Thankfully she resisted.

Internet dating is fine, as long as you treat it simply as the first point of contact. I've used internet dating and newspaper contacts. I've met some fine ladies through this, although the relationships have never developed. Some people live lives where there just a\isn't anyone suitable in their social activities.

Apparently Obama got amazing results using the internet....maybe digital technology has something to say for itself after all!!
