Well two months ago I met this girl on Omegel and we started "Dating". It turns out that she is a lying sociopath, So I broke up with her. I want to go back on Omegel and see if I can't fiend a new girlfriend, But I friend of mine said if I do, I am going to get another Nikki, my ex. Do yall think he is right?

Honestly, yeah, he's probably right. There are some cases in which online dating can work among teens (It's a bit different among adults), but for the most part, it doesn't work out. The thing is online, a person can be whoever they want to be. They can lie their pants off and not get caught if they're careful. It's hard to know who you're really talking to a lot of the times. Just like you said, your "ex" was a lying sociopath, there's nothing saying that the next person you find on there won't be the same. I'm not saying that everyone on there is a lying sociopath, don't get me wrong. But, there's a much greater chance of it happening online than in real life. Honestly, I would advise you to not even go back there. Enjoy the time you have, and focus on friendships and relationships that aren't online for a while. Try finding someone to be with in real life, and remember to just be yourself. Sooner or later, you'll find the person for you. Dating someone and having a girlfriend isn't everything, it really isn't. There's so much more to life than that. In all honesty, it won't hurt you to go for a while without one. Again, I'd advise you to shift your focus on your friendships in real life for a while.

I've always thought online dating was bullshit, i've never tried it and never will.

In my opinion, it's better to go on a standard date, like go some place nice with your partner, like a restaurant or whatever, some place you guys both enjoy.

Also, if you start dating someone, don't jump into a relationship, wait a few months, and make sure that person is a good person, and that you actually do love them enough to be in a relationship.

I wouldn't go searching on the internet just to find a girlfriend. If you want on online relationship, personally I think they happen when two people become friends and find the connection to be more than just that. I wouldn't recommend omegle to act as a dating site unless you want to end up with some skanky old man that's pretending to be a 15 year old girl. 99% of the time that's what you're going to get.

A relationship should be based on feelings not wanting a girlfriend quickly. Online relationships are not often pursued and when they are it takes a lot of time and effort to keep them going - a hell of a lot more than if you were dating in real life and if you're just looking for any girl then I don't think online relationships are really your thing.

In my opinion your friend is right. If you do go back to omegle hoping for a great relationship you're more than likely going to be disappointed with what you come out with. Probably 'another Nikki' as you put it but it's not like you can expect much more.

Thats not the problem I live in a place that is impossible to meet girls. And as for confidence my problem is the reverse I am over confident.

Using Omegle and ChatRoulette for dating/finding people, is like trying to find a potential spouse on a MegaPorn site.

If you're hellbent on online dating, go to a respectable site geared towards dating. Not even that really, go onto another online forum and search around. Just anything that doesn't risk you getting your next chat partner as someone who will hide under a blanket, then pop out and do the helicopter dick to polka music.

Personally i do think your friend is right, Online relationships as you fount out, You don't know who they really are, You will never last, They could be cheating on you and you never know and it will just lead to a lot of hurt, Take it from personal experience, But do what is best for you :)
