Internet Dating on neo is and will never be serious. Simple as that. Are they planning to meet? Then it would be a concern.

Kirsty, you got guts girl! Glad it worked out in the end for you :)

[quote=kittenz]Interesting topic :P I just want to clarify, how do you define dating? While I understand the 'tent interaction' is illegal for minors and stuff, but dating in general? (regardless on/offline/neo/offneo) When some kids go to kindergarten and interact with other kids, and come back home saying "Ma! I have a girlfriend!". While to a certain extent we know it's not serious, but is that illegal? :p Is that dating, if the two kids hang around with each other a lot, calling each other bf/gf with no 'further interaction' involved? -----------=^_^=----------- I bite. Ik bijt. Aku gigit.[/quote] That is funny you say that, a few weeks into kindergarten this year my 5 year old came home and informed me she had a husband *lol* I asked her why she wanted him to be her husband... "because is nice and he helps me put my coat on, plays with me and does what I want him to do" *lol*

[quote=Reborn_naphesh]Actually, dating a minor in any state is illegal. USA. It could be different in other countries but here in USA, its illegal. And they both are in the USA. A few of my friends are in Criminal Justice major and they had to do a project on it. It doesnt mean that they will arrest you asap or anything..but its against the law.[/quote] That's inaccurate. It is not illegal to date a minor, it's illegal to have sex with a minor, and the law varies by state. Each state has an age of consent. In California, where I live, the age of consent is 18. Therefore, in this case, your statement is true (you must be age 18, an adult, to consent to sex - but you can still date!). However, in Hawaii, the age of consent is 16 and so a 16-year old may legally consent to sex with someone of any age (be it 18 or 80). Anyways... with regards to what I read in the rest of the thread, meh.... when I was 14 I dated a 17 year old. I turned 15 and he turned 18 a few months later. I don't see what the big deal is. It's only 3 years, LOL! We were together for 5 years and had a child together. I definitely wouldn't go so far as to use the word pedophile!! There's definitely a fine line as far as age differences in teenagers go but it ends once they reach adulthood (or the age of consent in their state). I like older men, almost everyone I've ever dated has been at least 5+ years older. My boyfriend is 5 years old than me (25/30). The oldest I ever been with was almost twice my age (20/39). To each their own :)

Lol someone at my school (15 years old) was dating someone she said was 18, showed us a picture and he looked like a 21 year old pedophile. She kept trying to persuade us how great he was... then we found out he really was one. XD --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.

You can't tell if someone is a pedo by their picture. :P We weren't born to follow ♥

Actually, Jan is like a freshman in highschool, 15. You're right, he was lying about his age - but he's 15 and Chey is like 14. It's not illegal in the real life although if someone was 14 and dated with a..21 year old...it would be. ;)

[quote=saudor][quote=evanescence]Internet Dating on neo is and will never be serious. Simple as that. Are they planning to meet? Then it would be a concern.[/quote]why is 100% of your posts so stupid?[/quote] I would say internet dating is mostly stupid because you don't really know what you're getting into (unless of course you are over the age of 21). A small percentage who are looking for "love" (compare to millions of people) who are over 21 can find it. But even then... its a very difficult sitation (moving to see each other, dating, etc.) So unless, you are looking for "real love" and you are over age of 21... and have the money to go to his/her place to meet, date, and to live there (because its mostly like that he/she is outside your country), then I would say, "Go go goooo!" Therefore, I prefer dating someone outside of this virtual world. Of course, one exception is if I really... really... really x10 love him then I would make him as one of my priorities. WOW!
