Anonymity is an illusion when using this kind of technology. If you would not say it / do it / feel it IRL, best not to do it at all.
Even on the internet, we still have to live with our actions/consequences.
That is what I tell my son.

That's pretty cool. I've read success stories on the dating sites, but I've always just assumed them to be BS. I've never actually known of anybody who's had a marriage from an internet dating site. My best friend, who lives with me is hassling me to go on a dating site to meet guys. She says she'd go with me to make sureeverything goes OK. She still thinks I'm straight though
. Obviously I don't want to meet guys.
I want to do it to meet girls but my aunt and uncle have warned me off doing that. Given my limited social life, and the small town mentallity of the place I live, the chances of meeting a gay woman in real life who's single and with whom there's a mutual attraction seems at best remote.
I think my only realistic chance of having a relationship is probably through the internet, but the thought of doing it scares the crap out of me, and it means going against my family. One day I'll probably pluck up the courage to do it though
