Love on-line?

[kattoy]

I hope this thread belongs in Personals...

I was wondering who believes in "on-line love"

I personaly believe it's not possible to fall in love on-line...someone once told me we are all just words on a screen...while I don't completely agree with that, as far as love is concerned I believe that it's true.

I do think we can create strong friendships on-line(or destroy them, but that's another topic) we can get attached to people we post with and create an image in our minds but can we fall in love with that image? If we do, how will we react when a possible meeting occurs and the person we "fell in love" with is nothing like we imagined...what complications will it create for us in our future relationships both on and off line?

I am a person that needs to see and touch someone in order to know them...I express myself well with my hands and trust my eyes completely...I do have the tendancy to be very trustful anyway...but not in matters of the heart...

I'm also a very curious Kat so if you have an opinion let me know...

On the online dating subject......


I have trust issue's from having heard of so many people pretending to be someone they are not (as it's so easy to do online).

Maybe many people are fascinated about it all because it gives us more options.

Just my thoughts. : ) PJ

I think that in life it is important to believe that anything is possible...

We should not allow past prejudices..to hamper too much our futures of tomorrow..

That does not mean to say that one should not be careful or vigilant about online relationships...but in my experience people in the waking world can lie just as easily.. and as we get older it is important for us not to limit our own experiences in life... which from my own experience is all to easy to do..

Some of the best people I have ever known I have met online... If I had not given them some part of my trust in the begining I would not still know them today..

It is best initially to see the good in people... untill such times as they make that difficult to see...

keep an open mind is what I say...

Good luck to you both

[i]Well.. this is a topic eh? lol

Ok.. Well my input is this.. Yes I do think it's possible to meet and fall in love online... In fact.. I know it is!

I for one Have.. and I am not alone..

I also have many friends whom have met and have fallen in love with their online significant other.. and I know many who have actually moved to be with that person, whether it was just across their own country or to another country completely... I also know a few who have actually Married from their meeting.. or are planning the wedding as we speak. And to be fair.. I also know many, whose online relationship has ended.

The point of someone just being "words on a screen" may apply to some if there is just not more to the relationship other then online friends.. but this does not apply to all.

I truly believe that without all the interference of "sexual tension" two people can truly learn and get to know each other in such a way that sometimes it is not possible in other relationships.. or perhaps it would or could take years to achieve such a knowledge of that person. Being online, forces two people to talk, and talking is what some relationships now a days lack very much. Communication is a KEY to any successful relationship and without it.. the rest is surely going to cease to exist..

Relationships in general seem to be impossible at times.. lol.. but with understanding, communication and Love anything is possible and I don't think there is a need to limit online relationships to that.. As long as both parties are being honest and faithful to what they have agreed, then an online relationship is just as Real as a "in person" one.

Oh and lets not forget.. lol.. all the build up and excitement of that Meeting.. lmao.. makes for a wonderful experience ..

I am actually limited right now for time.. but in a nut shell, this is my opinion..

Best of luck to everyone whom seeks more

Pretending to be someone is not exclusive on-line...it is an occurence we deal with everyday in life both on and off line...

Talon
An open mind is not what I lack...it's an open heart...

Mistress
Did you fall in love on line or after a meeting? btw imagine your response if you weren't limited for time...lol..

Druid
What would be the difference between friendships and love...why would not a friend make themselves out to be something different just as much as a "lover" ?

[i]Actually... I knew where my Heart belonged way before meeting was even discussed.

Like I said... It was intellect, emotions, what feelings I got from it all.. and what I was willing to give of myself, that lead me to know for sure.. that I was in love. and at that point, meeting for me in the sense of knowing it was love, was merely a formality.. I knew all the feelings I would have upon meeting..

What would be the difference? ermmm... Ok.. to everyone here who feels its impossible to fall in Love online.. is it because you feel that the Physical Attraction has to be there? Perhaps I look at it differently, but to me.. Physical Attraction starts in the Heart and Mind... Just my opinion!
