Online dating???

[Jenny13]

So right now I'm single and I kind of want to have a boyfriend online maybe since I don't know many guys on real life. So I don't really know how online relationships really work. Can I have a relationship with someone on this forum? What's the best free online dating site?
And here's the main question
What to guys do to Impress girls online or start a relationship with them.... I kind of want to know just what to expect.

Well, number one, there's no need to rush into wanting a relationship like this, and rushing headfirst into a potentially dangerous method of meeting people isn't that wise. Meeting people online, confirming who they are, and having regular conversations is alright, but actually making it a stable relationship from the start at long distance sounds incredibly difficult.

This forum is NOT a dating site. To try and use someone's information that's posted on this forum for online dating could result in termination of both of your accounts. (Am I right mods? :P)

Also, it's not a place to recommend online dating sites if I'm not mistaken.

I don't even know of any online dating sites in existence that are intended purely for teens. Though if there are, I'm sure they're overrun with pedophiles, unfortunately.

That's why we work with what we have.

To make this perfectly clear, as I may be mistaken:


"VirtualTeen is not a hook-up or dating website. You may not use the visitor messaging system to request off-site contact with other members. If they want to contact you, they can use the information in the Contact Info section of their profile or (given they have the requirements,) private message you. Messages asking for off-site contact will be deleted, and those that are seen to be soliciting other members will be deleted and the user likely infracted or banned."

Rule #4 in the VT messaging guidelines.

As a former moderator, when I was on staff it was most certainly against the rules to use the site explicitly for hook ups or dating for the safety of all members. I doubt that rule has changed or will change. That being said, have their been members in relationships with one another? Yes. But that was not their original intent for using the site and it's honestly a pretty rare occurrence.

You won't find any dating sites that are meant for teenagers. Anyone under the age of 18 is considered a minor and dating sites are the perfect place for explicit and mature content unsuitable for anyone underage. No site would risk any responsibility if a minor were to engage in any acts with an adult masquerading as another teen that are actually illegal. Again, this is for your safety as well as others. So you're out of luck there until you're 18.

Honestly, as a teenager, online dating doesn't really work. Most teenagers don't understand the concept of commitment and long distance relationships of any kind require a large amount of trust. You're going to want to experiment, you're going to want to find out what you like in relationships and being separated by a computer really limits that. Hell, even adults get frustrated by online dating. Dating in general can feel useless and tiresome and futile until you find someone you really like. That's just natural. I've been in an online relationship and I would not do it again unless the person was really something special.

There are a few different types of online dating. Some people are in an open relationship were they will have a relationship online but can still have other relationships in real life and another type would be a committed relationship where you are only in this relationship however it is hard to stop the other person from seeing people in the real world. Beware of people who lie online though as there may be someone who won't go on cam with you or skype call because they are hiding something, I hope this helps :)

So I "dated" a girl from Australia for a short time. It wasn't like "hey, you wanna date?" lol. We just ended up messaging back and forth a lot, and then one of us gathered up the courage to call the other on Skype, and it turned into a romantic fling. We never had to say, "you're my girlfriend" because we just sort of knew what was happening. Eventually, jealousy took over both of us because we could never physically touch one another... We cammed with each other and everything, but seeing pictures of us with other people drove us insane, even if we knew there was nothing going on between the people in the pictures or the people talking to them or whatever. It ended pretty badly :( you really have to watch yourself when it comes to that.

From my experience it's mostly older guys, and they want to share pics and stories.

Magenta is correct! You can't use VT as a platform for finding and having an online relationship. Yes members have had online relationships on VT as Magenta said but that was never what they intended and they never used VT thinking this would happen. The rule hasn't changed, so please don't look for using VT as a platform to have an online relationship.

You won't find ANY teenage dating sites and any dating site you find will be 16+ and if you sign up with a fake profile that will only end badly and can get you in quite some trouble.

Honestly at your age I'd stick with finding a boyfriend in real life and channelling a relationship through that.

I dont think a dating site is what you should go to. Try facebook or something. but if you really want one, try catholic match or something. You can get more info on it here at http://www.freedatinghelper.com/reviews/catholic-match/
if you want.

I really have no idea how online dating works... I'd chat with you though, if you'd like...

[Cognizant]

After being in a few "online relationships," it's just not worth it...
It made me uncomfortable that you can't really see the person in real life. There's just some level of seriousness that exists in real relationships that isn't there online.

Even in my current "hybrid" relationship (half the time I see him in person, the ladder is online because he lives 25 miles away) makes me uncomfortable :/
