I have to agree with you on this one but not just I heart but all on-line dating. What do you do now that the other has your phone #, address and private e-mail account.Scary isn't it!
Well I had thought about this one long and hard and had to weigh the good and the bad. In the end it comes down to this. Are you willing to take a chance to really be with someone or just go on alone!
If it comes down to a break-up (good or bad) I learned from my divorce that being negative does not help. So even if the other does not play fair. There are things I can change to such as a block on the others account or just being the bigger one IGNORE what negativity they have to say. It will make you a stronger person.

That's why it's so important to have the "friends first and foremost" rule. You should have a basic respect for each other before getting "involved". If that's there...along with open communication, etc...if it doesn't work out, you're just back to being friends. (Barring no one party was completely misrepresenting themselves.....)

I think i agree with the "friends first and foremost" rule. I think that is important in any relationship no matter where it begins. I personally am not here looking for anything more than friends and fun etc., but if something more were to develop I am not going to turn it down just because of what may or may not happen down the road. I did the dating at work thing and didnt quit my job when things didnt work out. This is along the same lines, you have to deal with it and move on and hopefully you can still be friends with one another but if not at least you can respect the other person enough to share the same virtual space.

I agree with pp. We're all adults here, we should be able to conduct ourselves as such. In the worst case scenerio you could always start a new page with a different page name and different pictures?

Well, I'm not naming names, but there are a few folks on here dating each other and even one couple that is sharing iHeart post breakup. So it can be done. Yes, i think we are all adults and hopefully understand that we ALL love iHeart!

So the big question is..... who do you have your eye on my dear? He he he!

I would agree with Heather and try to have enough faith in people's basic maturity level that sharing a social networking site post-breakup wouldn't have to be a Major Drama.

Heather, that is good to know. I'm not sure if there are a few guys interested in me on iheart or if they are just being friendly and have no interest in me that way. It's a difficult call. But knowing that you can still be friends and be on iheart makes a difference. Thanks, Mc K for asking the question.

Trust me, I'm not anti-dating. At all. And I am fully capable of being a mature adult....I mean, come on, if single parenting doesn't grow you in a hurry, what will????

I like all the feedback so far, keep it comin! :)

You know, I was wondering about this too. That's why we toyed with the idea of doing a separate dating site for iHeart members, that was only dating focused, that way you could keep the dating life separate, but not sure if that would even work. What do you think about that?

While a dating-only site sounds interesting, I think that the ability for everyone---single, frequently dating, intermittently dating, in a relationship---to contribute gives this site something that the others sites just can't touch. I just want to avoid drama....:)
