Posted: 8/3/2004 10:12:59 AM | YOu just have to be careful when baring your soul online- you could be chatting with someone you think is a 23 year old hottie from Texas, next thing you know "she" is really a 54 year old, toothless Truckdriver from Nova Scotia (noth that theres anyhting WRONG with Nova Scotia), or being a truck driver... or even being toothless at that matter, so long as thats what you let people know you really are..... I love you just isnt the same when you have one image in your head for so long, then you find out youve been fantasizing about a back thats hairyer then Robin Williams... Just my 2 cents though-
Oh- love the ste- Just joined Yesterday, so feel free to say hi!

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 8/4/2004 8:20:26 AM | | Leather..... Muuuaaahhss babe, I think the internet gives you a different avenue of communication. Yes there are some whacko's out there that disguise themselves, but there are plenty of people out there just like the ones responding to this thread that are real. I think it is very possible to fall in love with someone over the internet, I think that I am actually experiencing it right now. I never really thought it would be possible, but the end result is...... you dont control your heart. My thoughts are this.... if you find that special someone out there, the internet gives you an avenue to express your feelings that most people would have a hard time saying face to face... why do 50% of marriages fail??? Communication, talking about your thoughts and feelings something that alot of people are uncomfortable doing face to face. So the net gives them the opportunity to express those feelings for the other person, and talking to the other person on the phone helps out as well because then you have verbal communication. Oh well..... ill end my rant here but to the woman out there that has started to take my heart...... muuaahs to you cin | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 8/11/2004 8:25:30 PM | "how can you love someone u never meet, it is definitely impossible"
I disagree it is very possible it happens all the time. Online if you meet someone you fall in love with it's because you got attracted to their attitude ,in person you get attracted to their looks first then their attitude.After all in person you're not going to try and get to know someone if you aren't physically attracted to them in first place,online attitude is all you have to go by.
However when you do meet in person it doesn't necessarily mean the relationship will continue or last especially if the picture of person on net doesn't really match the person in real life ,or her/his attitude is different in person then online,but it's not impossible.Some relationships online work and some don't,it just depends how honest the two were online.
I could say anything about myself and convince someone into believing it but what good would it do me if I plan on meeting person one day in person,the truth is bound to be seen eventually when both people get to know one another and if having lied it's not going to last.Only the truth will make it work whether it's for good or at least for a little while.
My sister's boyfriend's brother in France where they all live met someone online from Japan and now they have been married almost 3yrs.so it's not impossible.How long it last is a different story,it may last forever or it might not only they can decide that.

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 8/11/2004 9:19:05 PM | | It's entirely possible to fall in love online. I did and it was the most beautiful relationship in my life. Things didn't work out in the end because of the problem with distance, but we are still very close and I would never in a million years regret it. It's just a different type of relationship, whereas most relationships are physical, an internet relationship is more emotional, but I think that sometimes having an emotional connection with someone can be more intimate then a physical relationship. | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 8/15/2004 3:22:58 PM | | My Goodness Holly! You DO get around these forums! I'll continue to remain optimistic but would love to know how you have so much time to surf from one forum to another in here...lol. You never answered my question in the other thread though. Would you say it was a good match? | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 8/16/2004 9:05:58 PM | | I will say I have fallen in love with somebody online, only after meeting that person in real life. As long as she is on the pc screen, it's all bs. | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 8/17/2004 3:31:05 AM | I agree pics of a woman or a man on net is B.S.
As I mentioned earlier online relationship is based on attitude since it's all you really have to go by.The picture may be nice to look at but any body could put a nice looking picture it doesn't mean it really is them.In person you go by looks first since you have nothing to go by after all in person are you going to go chat to a woman or man you are not physically attracted to? of course not.
I have met a woman from net in person never called her back though,because she had been dishonest she didn't look like her picture shown on net.I wasn't upset that she wasn't great looking,because she wasn't exactly ugly either but the fact that she lied and never showed me any real pictures of herself made me not want to call her back.I think she was interested in seeing me again though.
Be honest and a relationship from net can work out. | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 8/17/2004 3:37:19 AM | If a girl is too good looking like model type you have to wonder why she needs net to find someone when she could probably get any guy she wants without net unless the picture isn't really her.
Just look at Holly she is very good looking makes me wonder why she is in a dating site and wonder if that is really her but of course I haven't met her in person so I can't say it may very well be but there is still that chance it isn't. | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE? Posted: 9/5/2004 5:17:30 AM | I would say yes, it is more than possible...love has no boundaries...once upon a time, it was 'love at first sight, now its probably love at the first chat'. When you 'talk' to someone on the internet, you can still sense alot of vibes...for example...if it feels, sounds or smells 'bad', its probably going to be bad..
But for me I would need a "real contact", to see and touch the person with my own eyes and spend sometime knowing him before I can tell if the strong feelings that I feel is really love.
