Have you meet someone online and then had sex

I have. But nothing lasting.

That could have its advantages? State exactly what you are looking for. Relationship or not.

At the time I was looking for a committed relationship. Unlike some people, I don't have to know someone very long sometimes before I'm willing to sleep with them. Not to say that I don't have decent standards, but I'll admit I am a very sexual person, and what some people might think of as jumping into bed too fast, I am personally sometimes ok with that if I like the person.
Now, my circumstances have changed, and I no longer desire a deep relationship, because of my complicated life, but more of a FWB. I realize that that isn't a lot of people's thing, but I am comfortable with that if I like the person.
That said, online dating in my opinion has advantages and disadvantages. I for one am very limited in being able to get out and meet people any other way, because of my location and circumstances.
Online dating is also risky because there are seriously a lot of weird people out there, and you have to be careful. Be prepared to have nerves of steel because there are a lot of players and weirdos online, just like in real life. I have been disappointed many times. I have met a lot of people online. Some were nice, some were not. I've had my emotions toyed with many times. Never did have a long term relationship from being online.

My advice. Be careful. And use your best judgment. But keep an open mind.

I am not morally against casual sex. I just haven't done it since I was younger. I am single and haven't dated in a few years. Sex might be the thing to ease me back into relationships. I like to know up front if it is just sex. I am fine with that.

I, like you, am a very sexual being but getting out and about is hard for me as well. I had two relationships that lasted 7 months each and both guys I wound up sleeping with within a couple months upon first meeting them.

I am not into fwb as it only serves to complicate things.

However, I don't think I can do a relationship again because I like my space and the freedom to do what I want when I want it. I guess having to sacrifice even a bit of this sounds selfish of me but I hate being smothered.

Like you, I have been toyed with, to the point of breaking down completely and going to a psych hospital for an evaluation. I just don't know if it's in me to work at building something up if the inevitable is to have it come crashing down all around me.

I met someone online for casual sex. Six years later we are planning our wedding for next may.

That is great. I have definitely met people to date online. I had a 2 yr relationship with one of them.

I have a friend who is marrying her booty call after a couple years together.

I like that you can just state what you want. I am easing into dating again. Gotta get back on that horse, so to speak. lol

Ahem. I think a huge part of the problem is that most (many?) guys *assume* a woman wants to rope them into a relationship. I have met a number of guys online who just want sex but they think they need to fool me into thinking they want more. Such fools! Geezus. I don't care if they just want sex, I just want them to be upfront about it. I have zero tolerance for lying. Just be honest from the get-go about what you're looking for. There's no shame in going out there and getting what you want. (Just be SAFE!) There IS shame in being a lying b@stard who manipulates others into selfishly getting what you want through deception and lies.

Having said that....I met someone online a few years ago. We periodically meet up. We're safe and smart about it. If either one of us became involved with someone else, then we wouldn't meet up anymore.

Just be safe and if a guy isn't honest with you, say goodbye.

Well I went on a date tonight. Every single thing he posted was a lie. lol

Age, pictures, weight, height.

It was great. lol (sarcastically). I instantly called him on it and he said "everyone lies." I said "not me a -hole."

I just got home and he already text me 6 times.

So much for the upfront online dating/sex scene. LOL

I met someone from online last night and we stayed in a hotel. She liked me and I liked her and we had sex and had a great time. But when she left she said we were too different, said she would like to part ways. She was nice and I am disappointed. I'm used to disappointments.

That is exactly what I said to him last night. Strange. I slept with him too and then said I didn't want to see him again.
