Online dating doesn't have to be LDR. It can just be a way if meeting si eone else locally.
I was in a few LDRs when I was younger, before online existed. Neither one worked long-term, although each was fun for a few months.
It's human fishing. Catch and release, catch and release, catch and release. You don't actually want to take the smelly fish home and clean it. You just want to weigh it and say you caught it. Then release it for someone else to catch it later.
Online dating is mainly for fun. There might be 5 or 10% of the women online worth dating but if you're lucky only 10% of those are going to respond to correspondence. So really when you come right down to it all online dating is is just a mental chess game with supposed "other people" on the other side if the screen. Practice for the people you'll meet in real life and preparation for the many games they play.
Its okay but only if they have a plan to meet in the future. Need to be realistic about it though! Like the 1st question is do you both have the means to meet? How often can you travel to see each other? Do you have long term plans? There are factors to it that play a role. I don't recommend it unless both of the people involved are serious and have the means to meet.
Exploring online dating had its perks like making the first move without pressure, but the quick shifts in conversations and the challenge of presenting oneself were downsides. Now, focusing on in-person dating provides a different, potentially more authentic experience for me.

Haven’t been in the situation personally but know a few people that have. Didn’t work out for them too complicated and hard being far apart all the time
I've tried it a couple of times, and they usually didn't work out.. I think if the two people plan to meet up soon, it definitely can work out.. For some people they can keep it going for a long time.. But I believe more times than not they probably don't work out in the long term..
I think it’s silly. It’s not a real relationship and lacks any foundation of shared experiences or true intimacy.
I was in one when I was underage for about 2 1/2 years, he was terminally ill and I felt bad, I don’t understand what love was yet, but he still took advantage of me, love bombed me, then gaslit me. Wouldn’t say he loves me unless he received nudes.
Nah I just do not see it working and far too many risks associated it with it.
Bad. There isn’t enough there to form a connection. And a relationship formed on that with no physical interaction is 9/10 doomed.
it's not real until you meet in-person and it sounds like a bumpy road lol
It just seems like a huge waste of time to me when you can walk out your front door and meet someone today in the flesh.
I don't like it because of catfishing and infatuation tbh. I got my heart broken a lot of times because of it. Tbh irl is better off , however it depends on you and your preference is and your experience on online dating
I won’t call it dumb. But I won’t pretend to understand it either.
Ldr are non existent. Why don't you go get a normal relationship. I don't understand you people on here
Use it like Meetup, it’s not the same as meeting in person.
Swiping right before meeting is stupid.
They won't work. Without physical contact, there is nothing.
Only time I could see it working is if it’s short term and they will be together irl soon
I believe the impossible is possible.
Everyone needs to be touched, ldrs will not last long
For me, not interested.
Not my thing, but It can work for some couples.
doesn't work
It’s hard
