Thanks to viagra (and it's ilk), I think the answer is "never". Nice to know I'll be getting nice in 40 years. Yikes.
The internet has caused me so many troubles in my love life. Yes, I had scored a few times but is not the natural way, people play games in tehir minds, specially when there are pictures involved. Is a fake sense of communication and that mental game is so adictive.
Relationships that grows in a regular way are way more healthy just because they are realistic.

I think it's funny (and stupid) that they "dated" for 6 months... without meeting.
Perhaps my definition of "dating" is radically different than those of kids today..

If there's any doubting the shallowhood of this "cheese eater", as you put it, his summation after the fact pretty much slam dunks it. "The truth is, I got to see a side of my mom I'd never seen before. I'm grateful for that."yellow said:

Nice to see Have I Got News For You was mentioned in that Wikipedia article, this week's episode is repeated in half an hour.
Anyway, just a comment about the definition of dating these days. Someone I know of that used to work at the same place as I accidentally received a text message that was destined for someone with a similar number. A brief exchange followed, they met, fell in love and got married recently. Large portions of that time were seperated by a few hundred km, but you could say they were dating. Fortunately, the woman was no relation to him.

It's interesting, in spite of being very amusing. The cliche of a son not finding anyone to live up to their mother's standards might not be so far from the truth. The connection you have with you family can't be explained.
When I was a kid, my best friends mum was a social worker, and had worked with a man and woman who were madly in love as they fought a court case to stay together. Why the court case? They met at a party as adults. Bam. Instant attraction, they wanted to get married and have kids. The problem? They were (biological) brother and sister, and had been brought up separately in care, and that was the first time they had properly met.
I found this interesting, as I know I have a bond with my brother that can't be explained. However, as we grew up together any thought of anything dirty is "Ewww! ". But I have a similar feeling about friends I've known since I was a kid. One of my best friends I've known longer than my brother (he's my age) and any thought of getting it on with him (although he's very attractive, funny and successful) also leaves me cold, because he feels like my brother (no pun intended ).
So, I wonder if, like the brother and sister mentioned above, when the usual growing up together bit is taken away, either by people growing up separately, or by 're-meeting' on the internet, that the bond you have with a family member is as strong as in real life, but free from the taboos that are built in to avoid incest. When you (as a boy) have been brought up by your mum (and you have had a reasonably good relationship), it's presumably natural that you then look for a partner who will continue to look after you in a similar fashion to your mum. So who better to choose than...your mum!

I had a feeling you'd post in this thread.mymemory said:
I'll agree. The fact his mom showed a picture that was not her and she expected her online lover to accept her for the first time at face value is irresponsible and fraudulent. I wouldn't want to meet anyone online until I saw what they looked like. And even then, they could turn out to be murderers or just plain creepy.
