Thoughts? I don't think it's for me.
I mean there are a few power couples that are obviously right for each other. Then there are some that aren't so compatible, and then there are some where on of the participants isn't even an actual person!
Of course, there are different ways to look at this. One way is people who have met here. Another is where one of the two was dragged here by the other. :jess:
EoFF dating kgo
In the vernacular of the renowned Cuch: if you find someone good for you, it matters not two trouts where you found them. You wee bell end.
So you're done trying to smurf me?
I... I don't understand, Justy. Are you saying you don't know if we'll work out?
:cry:
As much as it pains me, I'm going to have to agree with Raistlin on this one. I've never dated anyone online and I never will, being married and all, but where you meet a person doesn't matter.
I'll stick it you anytime, any place. ;DQuote:

I don't really date. Anyone. Ever. So dating another EoFFer would be really odd and out of character. The doesn't necessarily mean I would never. Just means that I'm not expecting any of you to start beating down my door. Or that I'll beat yours down.
But if someone does find another someone that they love (Del Hannah) then that is just badass.
>>> EoFF Dating?.. Final Fantasy/videogame fans doesnt date..:luca:
I date people online all the time because it is easier to hide all the lies.
I'm not against it. I myself have had a few EoFF love interests. I'm with Raistlin as well, it doesn't matter where you find someone. If it works, it works.
Hope it works out for you kids.Quote:

I can see if these types of things work out or not, basically. It really depends on adaptability and the willingness to change oneself. So, tell me, Justin, are you willing to change the fate of your entire life for a single person?
So who do you want to date?Quote:

Depends who the person is and how much of the same they are willing to do for me. My current career goals would certainly make it difficult to be in any meaningful relationship. But yes, if I loved the person and they could make the necessary sacrifices as well, I'd do it.Quote:

I wouldn't really care if I met someone on here, it's no different to meeting someone at a bar/library/bus station, but I will never do a long distance relationship again. I don't believe they can work, at least not for me, and because of that I doubt I'd ever have anything to do with an online relationship, on a predominately American/European forum like this one anyway.
you know, youQuote:

I don't really like the thought of dating someone over the internet. I need to physically be with someone for me to feel like I'm in a real relationship.
don't give him any ideas. False hope is painful.Quote:

I've seen a lot of long-distance relationships that worked, and lot of long-distance relationships that didn't work. Just like any other sort of relationship really! It depends on the circumstances and individual people. The thing is that I think most of us don't go into it wanting a long-distance relationship, due to all the hassles and whatnot, but if it happens, well... it happens. :P
Hux and I actually first met on a different forum some time before we were members here (if I recall correctly, it was a long time ago). I think we both wound up getting dragged here by mutual friends! Of course, we weren't dating until recently, as I'm sure everyone knows, but we've been close friends for a very long time.
Before that, I was in a long distance relationship with another guy for something like six years. Again, we met on a forum (not this one), and the relationship ended for reasons that are unrelated to the distance-- in fact, we broke up a couple of months after living in the same state for the first time ever, but we'd been drifting apart for a while, I think. After that I pledged not to get involved in anymore long-distance relationships because I wanted that physical closeness, but remember how I mentioned earlier that "if it happens, it happens"? Yup! xD
Like any relationship it just depends on the people involved and their circumstances! I feel confident in the one I'm in now. We've known each other for four years now and my parents are going to rent their house out to us when they move out of state in a few weeks. But I don't know if I'd call it EoFF dating since we never actually talked on EoFF, seeing as Mogi never posts here and all. It was just Yahoo! Messenger for about three years until we moved in together.
EDIT:
But yeah, the long distance thing. We dated for a year and then broke up for reasons most likely brought on by the distance. Then a week before I graduated from high school we decided to examine what went wrong and how to fix it. Webcams made a HUGE difference. We were just doing text over IM and the occasional picture. The webcams made us realize how important it was to actually see each other, and from there we made more of an effort to arrange visits. Getting him involved with my family helped too.
I have found that I find the idea of long distance relationships to be frustrating because I'm often accustomed to being able to escalate a relationship. For a LD relationship you have to be very patient because 1) you are far away and 2) even if you are fast tracking meeting up and living together, unless you live in the same country it is not easy.
Anyway my question to Jess is that: do you find that webcamming actually causes problems? I think it exacerbates any issues a party might have with requiring physical contact.
Miriel and I did not start dating until we met. I never had an 'online' girlfriend and never planned to. I think it is important to meet or plan to meet if you wish to take the relationship seriously. After that point, there should be plans to one day live in proximity to one another. Long distance relationships are hard but as long as you have a goal to work towards you can make anything happen.
It also helps to be as awesome as we are.
Side note: I wonder who's boinked the most EoFFers. My guess is BoB since he has had at least 3 girlfriends from here that I know about, but I don't know what happens at all y'alls meetups.
But I'm PG and you're not PG. Am I doomed? D:Quote:

I thought that went without saying.Quote:

We just tried to keep our affair on the down-low. At least for people more than four doors of away.
Del Murder and I were lucky since we are both in California and were ever only a few hours away from each other. He had friends in LA from when he went to UCLA, and I had friends up in NorCal who were attending Berkeley when we first met, so it was easy and comfortable dating each other initially because we each had connections to the other's home town. I could go visit him AND drop in on friends. And he did the same. I guess this was important in the beginning since it made everything kind of natural. It made sense to meet up with Del Murder while he was visiting LA. It wasn't a big deal for me to drive up and visit him. Everything fell into place. And the distance only became an issue the more we fell in love, and the more we wanted to be close to each other. We solved that by moving in together.
I think it was one of those 1 in a million luck of the draw, that I randomly signed up to a Final Fantasy forum, found a guy I liked talking to, who happened to live in California, who happened to have gone to college in the city where I lived, who happened to be super hot and a perfect match for me. What are the chances, right?
I'm not sure how well an online only relationship can work. I have zero experience with something like that. And I think it takes major balls to get on a plane to go visit someone far away. I don't know if I have that kind of balls. Plus, I don't like flying. :p
Yeah, I guess you wouldn't want to wake up your parents.Quote:

Oh my god! Congratulations man!
Oh christ no.
(SPOILER)That's great news. :D
Thanks guys, I just found out yesterday at work. I was shaking for the rest of the day xD
One of the ideas that I keep harping about is that we should start our own commune, but I cannot find a single person to sign in on it (mostly because of the underlying drama that permeates EoFF like eating too many eggs). In EoFF land everybody will be in the same town so travel is very limited and therefore all of you eccentric and bizarre lunatics are within driving distance.
I understand to some this would be more annoying than it is good, but I doubt it.
I used to date a girl who lived 4 hrs away. Weekend visits were completely possible albeit still annoying. Compared to some other scenarios I would trade for 4 hours any day.
As for visiting people on an airplane, I think it's awfully cool. I've visited numerous EoFFers but only ever stayed at Rubahs' (and stu, back in the day the first time) for an extended period of time. It's not for everybody but at the same time I cannot understand why not.
Keep us updated, Bert!
I would not want to live in a city with all you smelly freaks. No offense.
Baby you know you love us.Quote:

Wouldn't endure another long-distance relationship, though. Nuh-uh.
Guy I'm currently dating doesn't even know what Final Fantasy is and currently lives very close although his home town is in Baltimore, Maryland where there's delicious CRABS. Reaction = win! Basically my answer is no. I tried the whole long distance thing and really doesn't work for most people and it's definitely not dating until you actually meet in person.
When I first saw your post I thought it would be a story of how an EoFFer gave you crabs. I was disappointed.
Congratulations man.Quote:

very rarely have I ever heard of people dating online with absolutely no intention to meet up and stay in close physical proximity for the long haul. Maybe kids do that, but they're weird anyway. No, strike that, I was a kid internet dating, and I still dreamed for and longed for the day I'd get to meet my internet boyfriend (which never happened, but hey, we're facebook friends now)
the term "internet dating" can probably be relegated to the neologism graveyard, with the advent in comm tech in the last decade. With my first internet boyfriend, postal service was slow and sketchy, digital cameras still rare, long distance (let alone international) phone calls expensive, and texting was a few years off from being a verb.
nowadays, what internet relationship could dispense with any of those? But aren't those the same ways that people who didn't meet online and may have once lived together but for some reason have to be separate for a time use to keep in touch with their families? The only difference is where you meet them (which is yardie's topic, but that is long gone now imo)
anyway, all I really want to say now is if you think you don't internet date, you're right, but not for the reason you think.
Do you really want to know the answer to that? I can tell you privately if you'd like.Quote:

THis whole thread has turned into a creepfest.
(btw If you even think about PMing me Roogle I'll piss in your shoes & slap your pets)
I'm going to dodge a bullet by asking Shiny to PM me and that way none of you realise I'm a creeper.
haha yeah like that'll work anyway
LDR not my style but at the same time I'm a pretty cold hearted bastard so I could bugger off from my significant other and probably not give two trouts.
It definitely isn't me. I've had 5-6 (depending on whether you count the 'relationship' with Kath which lasted "officially" for about four days before we agreed that being boyfriend/girlfriend was weird and we should stop) girlfriends from EoFF but have only met three of them and have only "boinked" two. I'm very certain that a dozen or so of the members here have equalled or increased on that number.Quote:

I dated my second account once but it did not work out. Maybe I will try dating some dead accounts for a try. :bigsmile:
There's not a single person on this site - past, present, or future - that I wouldn't date.
The staff here is so scandalous. If only I was a staff. I could date the hottest guys here and raise my online self esteem. :(
And is Roogle's PM still avaliable?
Wait yeah, Roogle, PM me wtf
