Roleplaying is assuming the role of a fictitous person, while Online Dating is an entirely different matter.

People always say "ODING IS TERRIBLE! GET RID OF IT IMMEDIATELY!" Which comes with my honest response:

Online Dating is not illegal. You won't get penalized or banned from the internet if you date someone using it. Why? Sites like eHarmony and Match.com exist, and they are for the sole purpose of finding you a partner that you can spend the rest of your life with.

Those sites, however, are limited to people over the age of 18. So, some players who want a partner (but surprisingly can't get one in real life, which is very sad) use ROBLOX because other users under the age of 18 play it and are the opposite gender.

ROBLOX Corporation didn't put that rule in because Online Dating is evil in general. It's to keep 5 year olds from "dating" someone. Some religions (OTHER than Christianity) don't allow children to enter serious relationships with each other, yet, some countries will allow children under 10 to marry adults.

Of course, you may use ROBLOX to play with your partner in online games, but for chatting, I recommend anything like Skype or Facebook. You really don't want to use the ROBLOX chat system for "inappropriate" conversations. They have what's called a whitelist and blacklist system that works differently for players under and over 13.

This may not be true, but it's what I believe. Anyone under 13 has the "whitelist" system, which will only allow some words to display. Otherwise, it'll show hashtags. Anyone over 13 has the "blacklist" system, which censors some words from displaying.
