March 18, 2010

Hmmm. Virtual World Dating. Yeah whatevs, Harvard & MIT nerds…  A first date suggestion like “Hey, let’s go HANG-GLIDING… in CYBERSPACE!” is a really smooth move… if you say so. *chortle*

I think the joke it on you.
I’ve used it, and it works.

This is not to replace dating.
If you bothered to read you “might” comprehend whats going on and the reason behind it.

Since online dating matches don’t work well, you’re supposed to use weopia to meet someone so you can get to know them a bit better to decide if you want to meet them offline.

Its a dating tool, or like adding a step between sending messages and meeting.

I’ve used online dating enough to be able to say it cuts down on wasting time messaging back and forth, which doesn’t really give you much of an idea of the person.

things like hang gliding are just there for entertainment. you’re supposed to use the in-world conversation starters and dating quizzes to get to know someone. thats the whole point…

you know, its free right now. Go try it while you can and invite someone in there. Better if its someone you don’t know. Then you can see how much faster you can get to know them compared to messaging.

When I’ve met someone at online dating, I send a message and usually have to wait a day for a reply. I can learn more about them if I set up a time and spend half an hour with them then a week of two of messaging…

I’m using it too and disagree with this post.
Good reply Michelle.

If you have been dreaming of a fairy tale wedding dress, you may need ball gown wedding dresses. This is the most common style for a princess in a fairy tale. Full skirt produces a sense of fantasy and luxury wedding dresses and fashion prom dresses. However,its better for traditional formal wedding dresses. Mermaid wedding dresses embrace your bodies tightly from your chest to around the knees.
