internet dating...

[Sir_Kurity]

I bash them because for all you know that hot "chick" your dating is probably a 30 year old weirdo eating doritos and drinking a can of coke while he pretends to be a girl.

Exactly. =D>

What's humorous is that, before the GE and restricted trade, I knew people (guys) who would change their character gender and go looking for BF's just to get the poor sap to give them expensive gifts ingame. Internet dating through an established and reputable dating website is one thing, but "dating" within a mmo, especially one like RS that expressly forbids exchange of personal data, is pretty sad.

[Sir_Kurity]

Haha, yea. My friends did that.

 

 

 

Some people just do it so they can wear a skirt without looking stupid.

[Maxingmck]

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

 

:shock:

 

 

 

i hope ur just kidding :lol:

[Zierro]

I feel the same as internet dating as I do with homosexual relationships. They don't cause any more harm than a normal relationship, so the only real problem is that it is "weird" which is pretty negligible if you ask me.

 

 

 

I'd rather have two people that loved each other go out even if they don't know what they looked like, than a typical high school relationship of just having a boyfriend because you see all of your friends have on and you just don't want to feel left out.

Oh Zierro. If you wanted a date, I have a PM box.

He speaks the truth. Not having a boyfriend just because everyone else had one was my mantra in school, and it worked well in deflecting advances.

[Randox]

The problem I see with dateing is how people do it. If you solicit your 'lover', it might be called a date, but at least one of you has swaped the bf/gf title in favour of prostitute. Thats what the people who advertise are. Theres money or other gifts involved, and the whole thing is just wrong.

 

 

 

But, it does not have to be like that. It can happen that you meet people and start talking, and maybe start to talk more and move on to training together. I've been there, done that. If you look at it, its really no different than getting a normal RS friend. I hate when people are so blunt and tactless that they ask to be friends, or ask if im their friend. You don't do that in real life (normally, and not when you getting to know each other), so I dont see why it should work on the internet. We never declared ourself a couple, it just happened. Before she quit she was a really good friend who happened to be a girl (and yes I had proof), no cyber sex or anything. That'd be disgusting. When she quit, I just moved on. I missed talking, but its not like breaking up or anything.

 

 

 

I don't know if she ever considered it more than a good friendship. I never will know either. Personaly, I don't see the point in developing romantic feelings for someone I have never met, and I don't think I can anyways. Even seeing her is not enough. If I ever developed feelings via a picture, that would be lust anyways, not love. I see no problem with haveing a relationship, as in good friendship. There might even be some feelings there. I think seeking out a relationship in RS is wrong, but I see no problem with developing one in as natural a way as possible.

I admit, that I once did that.. maybe more than once.. eck. Nevermind.

[quelmotz]

This is a stupid thread.

 

 

 

Firstly, JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT. Seriously. You don't need to make a stupid thread telling people to not flame you about having a girlfriend in RS. This will just make them flame you more.

 

 

 

Secondly, its the internet. Anyone can pretend to be someone else. If I said I was a 18 year old boy who lives in Colorado, would you believe me? Of course not. I can easily say I am a 21 year old girl who lives in New York too. Get the point now?

[Furah]

I only divorced because you said you were 5'4" and a 17 year old girl.

You clearly dont read the papers... If you did, you'd hear the sick things that people do to others are a result of misleading eachother on the internet.

 

 

 

In fact, a close friend of mines sister met a '17 year old boy' over a MMORPG and he lured her into meeting him... Lets just say he wasn't a 17 year old boy who wanted to meet up for lunch.

 

 

 

The point is, anyone dating over an internet game is clearly sick. It should be banned from internet games, especially those aimed at 11-17 year olds.

Yeah completely agree with Gin and Tonic and Ratchet. Honestly, this is so stupid it's not even funny. I get the OP's concern - that it is not our business and we should not interfere in his life.But really, if someone was jumping off a bridge, any sane person would try to stop them, wouldnt they? You don't even know what you are getting into - get a gf IRL, thats not what RS is for. :shame:

[DuckyTheSwan]

personally, i think dating on runescape is pathetic. it's for those too antisocial or ugly to get a boyfriend or girlfriend in real life. my partner and i have been living together for over a year and we occasionally played runescape together... in the same room, me giving advice and cutting diamonds etc for him. we didn't meet online, we met at college.

 

 

 

basically, i'm a 19 year old girl. i could say i'm a 15 year old boy or an 11 year old girl on runescape and you'd never know. also, with runescape as the primary method of communication, it's not a relationship. where are the hugs, the kisses, the catching each other's eyes over a pizza you made yourselves after a flour fight, where is the joy in waking up next to each other, covering your mouths with a duvet because you both have morning breath, where is the excitement in awesome sex, knowing you never want to sleep with anyone else because you've found the one?

 

 

 

you'll never have that in runescape. you'll never have that in any internet medium. you'll never have the physical contact that is a huge part of any real relationship.

 

 

 

i don't respect ruenscape relationships for the same reason that i don't respect two 11 year olds holding hands in the playground: it's not real.

[Moad14]

I say do what makes you happy and don't waste your time with people who bash you for it. Do I date on RuneScape? No, but I don't get all riled up when I see people who do. Just don't be obnoxious about it, then who can be upset?

[Harakiri]

If the OP didn't want us to interfere with his life, he wouldn't have made a thread on it in the TIF rants forum. 8-)

[khandajatt]

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 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?

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

"good luck with that"-booda

 

 

 

kk like this is sad on your part as of no gf in real life, plus we got our rights to speech so you cant say we cant say anything because we can say everything if we want to say anything at all, and plus i doubt that even 10% of the rs population are girls playing, they got better stuff to go like sleep over, makeup, specially shopping ( ps dont go shopping with your gf, you wont find cash left in your walet, better yet take 20 bucks with you :lol: ), so mostly it guys playing on girl character, but if your g@y then it different story. Bottom line is go out in real world and get a gf other then in games, if you want to people to stop flaming you then keep thing like this to your slef, you telling other about your gf in rs starts everything, now imagin if you have kept it to your self all of this never would have happened

[Harakiri]

^^^Sorry, but why did I find that kind of sexcist?

Oh...that's why.

oh sorry if you were offended by this, didnt mean to do that but was making a point which by far means is not invalid

[Harakiri]

I personally wasn't offended but I know someone will be.

Yeah...

 

 

 

Your arse is not a credible source though, so your statistic is invalid.

 

 

 

Seriously, what? You list some stupid things and make the assertion that that is all they pretty much have to do.

 

 

 

Also, you can take your girlfriend shopping, just don't friggin' pay if you want money left. You have the goddamn choice. Don't make assumptions about the female gender.

 

 

 

Oh, and I guess part for [wagon]ume really describes you.

[hihihi727]

Sorry but thats pathetic. Internet dating isn't as bad but dating in runescape is pretty sad. Although believe it or not some real girls really do play runescape :o

GOOD LORD! What are these girls you speak of?

[Cabbage_Boii]

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. OP is stupid.

 

 

 

But this is what i don't understand about people like yous opinion. Is it that weird for a girl to play runescape and devolope a relationship between friends?

 

 

 

Sure E-Dating is silly and quite pointless some people just devlop good friendships then i guess feel the need to be "dating" the other.

If you want to date on runescape fine, don't try to [bleep] attention by saying "ilu and kiss me and with gf bf stuff".
