Dating in Online Games

Some people are highly against the idea, stating that it’s stupid or childish or even downright unsafe and ridiculous. Others expressed that they met their significant other in a video game and many went on to get married have children and even remain together years later.

One of the most important points made is a commenter who says, “I want to know how meeting on WoW is any different than internet dating websites.” This is a fantastic point. Meeting in a video game is no different than meeting in a chat room, a message board, an online support group or even a dating website.

The different with a dating site, of course, would be that people are there for the sole purpose of finding a mate whereas typically in an online game, people are there to play and if you meet someone special, that’s just a side bonus.

I think as technology continues to advance, we will see more couples hooking up online, even through video games and it will become less controversial and shocking. However, I think it’s very important that people who want to date someone they have met in an online game practices the right safety precautions.
