It's totally not stupid at all! I won't go into loads of details, but I'll say I used to think the same way, that I'd never date online, until I met someone who I REALLY liked. We didn't end up dating, but the moral of the story is that it's not stupid at all and sometimes you just can't help who you fall with. You get to know them for their personality and it's not like you're not talking to them when you get the chance!

If you feel as if you really like this person, it's okay to date them. Just remember that online dating, or any relationship really, does require honesty, trust, and communication. With communication, you definitely can make this work!
