Would you ever use the Internet to find a date?

“No. I’m not going out of my way to find a partner. I just go about my daily routine, and if I meet someone, fine. I wouldn’t put myself out there on the Internet. It’s just not my thing.”

“Only if I met somebody first at a club, but didn’t get all their information. Then I’d go to Facebook to connect. But otherwise, I’d feel too weird about using the Internet to date. It’s not my way of meeting people. I go to clubs, where I can meet someone face to face.”

“Yes. That’s how I found my boyfriend. We’ve been together a year. The Internet can be helpful. But it’s also ruined a lot of relationships. I blame Manhunt [www.manhunt.net] for destroying so many relationships. It’s too easy to find somebody to hook up with. The club scene has suffered too.”

“It has no appeal to me. I’m old-fashioned when it comes to dating. Friendship has to happen before I get involved with someone romantically. And I don’t find my friends on the Internet. But I’m not being judgmental. To each his own.”
