What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: Is It Generally Considered Socially Acceptable to Marry Someone You Meet on an Internet Dating Website?
Answer: The Internet is the 'New Pub'. Apart from the obvious differences between the pub and the Internet, the one big difference is that a girl needed be afraid of getting a date rape drug slipped into her drink.
As long as folk are aware of the dangers the Internet can hold, there is nothing wrong and I think it will become increasing acceptable to do your courting (old fashioned word) on line.
Bye xxx
does it really matter if it isnt?
only if u are in love—
Sure, everyone does it these days. I mean, that's what they're for, right?
bugger it go for it if its love
do you love her/him?
theres your answer.
Who cares? Honestly. All that matters is what YOU think. If you don't care, nobody else will either. I met my husband through a personal add I'd put in my college newspaper, and I'd done it mostly because I was bored with my lot in life and wanted to see what I'd get that way. And back then, it wasn't socially very acceptable. Only "desperate" people did that.
Best thing I ever did.
I married someone off the internet…and everyone accepted that…..i havn't meet a person yet who has a problem with it…as long as you are in love…it really doesn't make a dang what others say or think
It doesn't matter where you first meet someone. What matters is what comes after you meet and spend real time together.
"socially acceptable" ?? you do what is right for you and the other party involved, if you love someone enough to spend the rest of your life with them and they you, then go for it.
Sure, but these marriages never work. Ask me about my wife's first marriage. LOL!!!!
Make sure they send you a picture before saying yes.
I don't know about that but I do know it is unwise to base a marriage on anything so ridiculous. Who cares? If you met someone that you should really marry and build a life with why on earth would you even think about the social acceptability of how you were introduced???? I think if you are that hung up on this stuff being married to you wouldn't be much fun.
Don't see why not. It doesn't matter where you met your partner as long as you are both happy..
And anyone who says different can answer to me,, cos I met my wife through Msn messenger….
I have a cousin who did I think they have been married now about 8 yrs.
If you meet someone on the internet and all things work for you both does it really matter what society thinks? If you are in love then there is nothing wrong with it and no one even needs to know where you met
no
but u can find true love anywere as long as u are happy who cares were u meet them
Follow your heart,
if you love someone it does not matter where you met them
It is usually snickered at and not talked about to marry someone you met on the internet. You dont have to tell people that.
But, if you meet on a dateing site, why not, it's not the same as meeting someone in a chatroom
I don't think it is anyone else's business but yours and your partners.
No comment dont know of anyone, all the best!
Well hell's bell's why wouldn't it be?
why worry if its socially acceptable.. it should be what you both want.. love is love no matter how you met
Of course! There are many good people out there now finding love online. I met my true love 5 years ago online and we are blissfully happy and getting married next year. Go for it! This is the 21st century! And remember the most important quality in a person is good mental health….if they have that, everything else will fall into place!
sure, why not? What else do we have all those internet dating sites for?
It's becoming more and more common. In this day and age, things like this are viewed more as a personal choice rather than a reason to judge someone. From this point of view, I would say it is socially acceptable. But there will always be "conservative" people who feel it's bad, weird, strange, you name it.
I met my fiancé on an online dating site. This is where people meet people nowadays.
who cares love is love..
If you been knowing the person for a while, been around them more than once, and if you know they are clean! You cant just marry someone because they seam like they are good. If you have gotten to know the person and have been face to face with them more than just a couple of times, then it would be acceptable.
it doesnt matter if you met them on a dating site or at Buckingham Palace; if its love, go for it- if it isnt, walk away and try again.
Well I don't know if it is considered socially acceptable but..that is where me and my man met and we moved in together the second day and we have been together for a year and 8 months and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. My family totall loves him. According to his whole family I am the best thing that has ever happened to him. We will be married and everyone totally approves. When it all comes down to it ..it is what you feel for one another not what everyone else may think. If you are totally happy then that's what really matters. If they all accept and love you then they will accept and respect your decision. Good Luck to the both of you!
yes why not go for it. I met my fiance on the internet. We have a relationship made in heaven. I love her very much.
