A general view of online dating and in particular Irish dating online.

I was out with some friends on Saturday night and we got to talking about previous exs. One guy admitted that he stood up his now wife! for a girl who he had always fancied and suddenly got the opportunity to date. A heated debate then ensued as to the rights and wrongs of this.
So would you do the same?
His argument was that if he didn't go out with the girl he would always wonder if he should have and how it would have worked out. But that by going out with her he then realised that she definitely wasn't for him, she was then out of his system and he knew that his current girlfriend really was The One for him.
Needless to say his wife was not in agreement on it - she said how upset she'd been when she found out that he wasn't "stuck in a meeting" but in fact was off with another woman and that this was a loss of trust in him that put their whole relationship on the line - luckily she forgave him and 15 years later they are still happily married:-)
What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions on this.
In the meantime, happy dating!
