Am I the only one who finds this a bit strange? Nonetheless, I have friends who have met their boyfriends/girlfriends this way. In this kind of interaction there is strange mix of reality and fantasy. But what happens to a person’s individual identity if they are represented by an avatar and emoticons that are preset and used by thousands of other people? In my mind this is where the fantasy aspect of game dating kicks in…it adds excitement, feelings of spontaneity and adventure that are not always experienced in real life therefore attracting people that are trying to find solace from lives of monotony.
