General

I guess I'll start off with saying this, not to protect myself, but yeah. People who date online aren't losers.

Why do people "date" online?
Maybe people aren't interested in people they know irl xD I did it because it seemed like you could be more open with the other person, I dunno And you have a common activity to do with each other. Currently not dating online though, or dating at all.

How do you date online?
I didn't have a webcam till my ex gave me one for xmas x] but even then we only did it like once because he no longer has internet in his house. (He was stealing a neighbor's xD) The other option is talking on phone forever and ever.

Is there any kind of sexual activity's involved?
I haven't done that. It seems way too embarrassing.

How does that work?
I would think people cyber or send...nude pics...not a very good idea, haha.

Do the people involved really love each other?
I really did love him xD It hurt when we broke up.

How can they live without any physical interactions?
Control. As much as I wanted to be with him, we made each other wait until we could meet each other irl.

I know a couple that has been together for like, 5 years now and mine lasted like 1 year and 3 months-ish.

you should ask him

How it works-
Person1: I think you are hot. let's go out, but i'd never say this in real life because I don't have the bells.
Person2: bells? wtf? anyway I have self-esteem/daddy issues or some sort of related baggage..so.. Of COURSE I'll go out with you!

..lol but on a serious note Online dating is there for anyone missing the void and not exactly a go-getter in life.
or just too busy. sexual activity? uhh Urban up Cybering i guess. & I've always thought internet relationships not very serious more like a "you're here until I find someone real and better...or just real." and the whole lack of any physical interaction is the very reason why Online dating fails..unless you're like.. idk within the same state or something.

Step one, cut a whole in a box.
Step t- oh wait we're not taking it that far yet.

It works like regular dating, but online.

Why do people "date" online? For some, it's easier. For others, it just happens naturally.
How do you date online? How do you date in real life? You manipulate your vocal cords to emit waves through the air into the other person's ears. For online dating, you manipulate electrical currents through the internet onto the other person's monitor.
Is there any kind of sexual activity's involved? You could always do webcam or phone sex. You'll get laughed at (been there done that) but it's an option.
How does that work? Rather awkwardly.
Do the people involved really love each other? Do people in real life relationships really love each other?
How can they live without any physical interactions? Well, there are those war veteran couples who have limbs blown off and stuff. They manage just fine.

my online dating experiences, lol
basically it didn't work for me because i couldn't handle zero physical contact or intimacy and having the internet as a barrier

though the relationships themselves had other negative aspects that have made me come to just not really like online dating anyways

Thank you, this comment made my week.

OT: It can work out, if you eventually take it to real life.
