So, you enjoy flirting with potential fat molesters behind a pixel screen?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. OP is stupid.

[barbwireboy3]

No, he's right. For all you know, it may be a 40 year old pedophile who weighs as much as an elephant.

 

 

 

Besides, we have the right to say what we think, you cant stop us.

A few quick questions;

 

 

 

1. Do you know what she looks like?

 

2. If so, how?

 

 

 

Also, people get freaked out over this because of concern over your safety (as much as it seems otherwise). Obviously you may never give out information to help your "gf" "meet" you in person, but in this case it's more like someone slapping your hand away as you place the fork dangerously close to the electrical outlet.

 

 

 

What's wrong with having an internet girlfriend? Nothing, although some see it as a cesspool of pedos and people who've become so desperate for love that their requirements are a pulse. Runescape isn't the place for your Public Displays of Affection, however. Also, if you got said internet girlfriend in Runescape, you'd be liable for a good blackmark or two, solicitation is against rule #1.

 

 

 

But hey, whatever floats your boat. Just follow the rules, and you shouldn't care about what random people tell you on the internet.

 

 

 

But you really, REALLY, should be careful. There are a LOT of pedophiles on the internet who pull stuff like this.

[forestfrolic]

First off, watch your language and settle down. Secondly, the main problem with internet dating is that it seems pretty stupid since it is nothing like dating a real girl or guy, in real life, therefore people want to know why you do it. Can you not get a real girlfriend?

 

 

 

Also there are problems with safety of course, and the problem that this girl might be a dude.. etc. Either way, do what you want.

[Kiriyama]

God, you sound like someone who finds a 17y/o female who is actually a very bored 15 y/o male.

 

 

 

Personally, I have no problems with internet dating. As long as you know what the other person actually looks like. The only real means I see to be sure is webcam. Hardest to fake what you look like on that.

 

 

 

OP, the moron here is you for dating a "female" through RuneScape. You loser -.-.

[Balazeal]

ok so i wanna know whats peoples big deal with freakin internet dating i mean come on i have a girlfriend on runescape---

 

 

 

I stopped reading there.

 

 

 

To the OP: Did you, by chance, pick up your 'girlfriend' when she was advertising her services at the Grand Exchange?

Not really, MSN thinks my video capture card is a webcam, so I could stream a game of Halo 3 and the other person would think that they are trippin' balls. :P

[Kiriyama]

Prove it.

 

 

 

Oh, and the reason how it can be hard to fake on a webcam? You can see actions and facial expressions, so they'd likely [bleep] up somewhere.

[Harakiri]

The OP scares me.

 

 

 

At first I was thinking this was a thread that was going to state the stupidity of the idiots in Lumbridge who get girlfriends and boyfriends and then marry and give each other rings.

 

 

 

Then I read the first post and realized that I was reading the words of a horny idiot.

 

 

 

ok so i wanna know whats peoples big deal with freakin internet dating i mean come on i have a girlfriend on runescape nothing bad happens and yet i am constantly showered with comments like "wow thats lame" or "internet dating? you loser" its crap like this that really gets me mad and i'm sick and tired of it

 

 

 

First of all, your not internet dating. Your merely dating another runescape players character. You are not dating the person playing it. I would probably say the exact same thing those people flaming you did specifically because runescape is not a dating sim, and you don't have any idea who the hell is playing the character your dating. It could be a fat thirty year old who lives in his moms basement. That turn you on?

 

 

 

i mean come on! if i'm happy doing what i do why do you have to bug me about it i didnt ask you to say anything!! jeez! i really enjoy having a gf and its not like ur gonna explode if u dont say something about it right? so why do they keep freakin out about it? i dont know mabye you guys know, anyone wanna comment?

 

 

 

Your happy having a fictional girlfriend over Runescape. I could say something like "If that makes you happy, then you might want to go to therapy" or "Get your hand out of your pants and back onto the mouse".

 

 

 

so yea thats about it please say what u wanna say unless ur another moron looking to flame me

 

 

 

Why can't we flame the moron who enjoys being a boyfriend to a pixelated character you don't know?

 

 

 

p.s: this is sorta my first real forum post so try to go easy on me ok? thanks

 

 

 

Might want to have checked out what this forum is like before posting something stupid like this.

 

 

 

You are not dating, you don't have a girlfriend. I think you are a nut. The only way you can say you have a girlfriend is if you know her and you date her. You don't know him/her so how can you say she/he is your girlfriend? Who can say he/she is not waiting for the right moment to scam you and/or do something else to your account.

 

 

 

I only consider dating as seeing the person you are dating face to face and dating over a game like Runescape is stupid. If you ever do a web chat or something with her, and know she is a chick and not a fat guy who just enjoys making kids like you think you have a GF, then you can claim her as a GF. But until then, this thread is stupid, and easily proves that the people who date over the game have no idea what is going on and don't understand that they could be putting their character at risk and dating makes them look stupid.

 

 

 

STORY: My dad plays runescape too, and one time he was approached by some chick who was named Rose94 or something. She asked him to be her BF. My dad asked "Is 94 the date you were born." "Yeah" she replied. "I have a son your age." My dad said, referring to me. "Eww." The girl ran off.

 

 

 

Thus, another idiotic story that proves that internet games are not the place to date. There are other places to look for partners on the internet that do not involve killing dragons.

[The_Gabe]

Rs relationships ARE stupid.

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

Easiest rule of thumb: It doesn't bother me, and I don't need to know about it. You have fun, but please don't be surprised if the person who they claim to be turns out to be something totally different.

[Bauke]

Lol, relationships in a game? Dude, it's nothing more than pixels. You can't have a relationship with just pixels. RS girlfriends are for 13 year old kids who don't have any irl experience in that area.

[Ollyc3]

Idk what peoples deal with it is, I met my last 4 husbands on RS.

[canadiansmurf]

Ignore the negativity.

 

 

 

Runescape dating is more about hanging out with someone who is fun and who you would be interested in dating if they were present in real life because you like their personality.

 

 

 

I see plenty of level 130+ who openly say I love you to the other character they are hanging out with.

 

 

 

In Runescape it is more normal to date than not to.

 

 

 

For the above poster who is being sarcastic, I do know some couple's who are married in real life who have met through Runescape, it is possible.

 

 

 

I don't date on RS, I date in real life but I have made strong friendships with people I haven't met in real life thanks to RS.

[Harakiri]

You make FRIENDS but you don't make BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS. Canadiansmurf, first of all, he can't ignore the negativity because it is true. Runescape dating is hanging out with someone you would want to date in real life due to personality and stuff...What if the chick in the game is a guy in real life? Why do you think Runescape is a good place to search for someone to date? Get a life! Find a real girlfriend. Runescape is not intended for you to get relationships, and Runescape dating is stupid specifically because you don't know who your dating.

 

 

 

In Runescape it is more normal to date than not to.

 

What the [bleep] are you smoking? Will anyone whos dated on Runescape please raise their hands? I have never dated on Runescape because it is a GAME. That sentence right there is the failure of the week. And to add to the failure:

 

 

 

I don't date on RS

 

If it's so normal, than why aren't you doing it?

 

 

 

I have made strong friendships with people I haven't met in real life thanks to RS

 

You fight that dating is alright in Runescape, then you say it's normal, then you say you've never done it, then you say RS is for strong friendships. Make up your bloody mind. You have written the most fail in one post that I have seen since an EatRuneArrow rant.

[canadiansmurf]

I never said I never dated on RS.

 

 

 

I don't date on RS anymore but when I started playing RS years ago, yeah I dated for fun but I was younger. It was never serious, and we still email or MSN sometimes. I don't think the original poster is serious about dating this RS girl.

 

 

 

I'm lucky to be in a serious relationship in real life, I would never cheat on him, let alone online.

 

 

 

I just hate when people just judge other's for dating on a game. If someone is dating or just acting like they are dating on a game who cares? Plus there are some serious relationships that have started on games, and end up being real life relationships.

 

 

 

Have you been to a bank or GE lately? I see plenty of higher level couples hanging out there. Maybe it's the members home world I play on but I see lots of couples.

 

 

 

My point is that the people who claim to be dating on RS tend to just be really good friends. No need to hate on it.

 

 

 

Clearly you can't kiss a virtual girlfriend or boyfriend. Most people who are playing rs are younger though and I think that having a semi-RS bf/gf actually helps then when they are dating in real life. It helps with confidence and all that. Also, the guy friends I'm friends on RS, really helped me to understand boys more in general and my real life relationships might even be better because of this.

[canadiansmurf]

"Why do you think Runescape is a good place to search for someone to date?"

 

 

 

I never said this and I would never encourage that. The internet is not a good place to meet anyone to date, let alone Runescape. So don't put words in my mouth and learn to read.

 

 

 

 

 

I think what you are missing is that the people who do meet and end up liking each other on Runescape, weren't looking for someone to date online. Like happens.

 

 

 

I think that you are confusing dating on rs with real life dating. The two are completely different and even the people who say they are rs dating are really more best friends than actual dating. It's roleplaying.

 

 

 

It's not like this is Datescape. Shudders.

[3hitm4g3u]

Why do you care what other people think?

 

 

 

P.S. Get her on ventrilo.

[Bauke]

If you meet each other irl, and then fall in love.. it's ok. If you say you love someone you only know in pixels, you're pathetic. And I don't know why anyone's level is relevant. It's not like it makes them any more credible.

[Harakiri]

What the [bleep] game are you playing Smurf? I have played continually over the past 4 years and I have only encountered dating people maybe four times. That's it. I have never in the past year met anyone who is dating with another at a bank.

[Mirror]

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Internet Dating. I've had an early relationship with a girl I met online, but it was just a summer fling, nothing serious. Now just because you think it is wrong, doesn't mean it is inherently wrong for everyone. It's just a preference on how someone wants to conduct themselves in their social relationships. If someone wants to date online, then let them. JUST because you don't know what someone looks like nor know fully if they are telling the truth or not, that isn't a reason to bash. Isn't trust a major quality in relationships? On those premises, I don't think it is wrong to be dating someone online. I have some good friends I have met through runescape and they are quality friendships. Why does there have to be a line drawn between friendships and dating relationships?

[Sir_Kurity]

I personally find it [developmentally delayed]ed unless you know the person in real life.

[Harakiri]

^^^There are certain places where it is alright. Video chatting, those dating websites advertised on the television. Those are fine, but an internet game? There's a line drawn there.

 

 

 

If you feel it's alright (which obviously I don't) then whatever. I just don't think dating over an internet game is right. Making friends is fine, good friends is fine. But then wanting to make out with them and both of you following each other so you run into each other and then typing kissing sounds and sounds like that, that's stupid.

 

 

 

I think that if you don't know the person, don't date them. You can be friends, but dating like that is stupid.

[Kiriyama]

The reason we bash them when it is only through the game? You can never trust them fully. You can be easily decieved if you do not know what they look like.

 

 

 

Sure, trust is a major part in any relationship, but why try to completely trust people you know only through this game? And it being your only means of communication?

 

 

 

Mirrorforced, I get where you are getting at, to get my life involved, I have felt a strong bond with people I knew from online. I felt a strong bond with them, however, I was always wary until I knew what they looked like. I have a vague suspicsion of someone I talk to now, it's only small, and I trust her, but there is still that small bit of distrust.

 

 

 

Like you, I have met some good friends through TIF and RuneScape (Mage_Man and Blackdawn for example), I even trust one girl I met on RuneScape completely. Why? Because I knew what she looked like. Admittedly, I trusted her before I was 100% sure, yet there was always that small hint of distrust. Infact, I've even asked her why she trusts me so much, despite not knowing if I was lying or not, it seemed a little strange that she only had a picture of me on MSN to go by, yet was sure that it was me. (Yeah, it is me, but the fact remains).

 

 

 

Oh, and if Mage_Man sees this, the girl here is Leanne, I met Sara through a mate, though it's a weird story.
