Posted: 11/14/2004 7:23:29 PM | I think you can fall for someone online just not in love with them......
We can meet someone we think is absolutely awesome and amazing, talk to them for hours have so much in common, and think we are in love but the problem is you havent seen or met their quirks their little ticks or how they hold their fork.....
in our heads we have made them out to be that person we have searched for our how lives, but then usually when we meet its a little disapointing because they arent the prince charming or helen of troy....
but i must say if you do talk to someone who is absolutely amazing you can talk for hours about anything, chalk it up to good friends who are emotionally attached and kindred spirits, dont get all wrapped up in the idea and falseness of love.... Then when you meet in person you will see what truly lies between the two of you......
You could be as lucky as heftymon and I and meet as close friends wi†h a lot of emotional ties, then when you finally physically are together you fall head over heels and are blown away by how absolutely amazing this person is for you..... | |

Posted: 11/14/2004 8:08:27 PM | | I agree with Limo. Ya have to find out the little stuff before you can be in love. Gotta find out how they squeeze the toothpaste tube, in the middle or the end. Gotta find out how they hang the toilet paper roll, over or under...... | |

Posted: 11/14/2004 8:19:36 PM | haha i am noturious for squeezing from the middle, but i totally squeeze from the end when the bottle gets low on toothpaste....
i had a boyfriend who like went insane everytime I used his toothpaste, we had seperate tubes at both of our places lmfao...
its true you have to know what their body feels like against yours, if you fit together like a two piece puzzle.....
you need to know what its like to kiss them, cause omg if they are a bad kisser then all feelings end right there..
ok i admit it im a b*tch
oh yeah and mtvvvvvvvvvvvv muah miss you babe | |

| IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE?
Posted: 11/14/2004 8:36:58 PM | Well...there are so many myths about "love". It's something different to everybody. We don't ever REALLY know what a person's feelings are; even if they tell us.
Why?
Because words are only a tool we use as a medium to try to describe them and they're not very good!!!
As closely as I can determine: "I love you" means only one thing to all people who say that. It means "I want you in my life."
So... I guess you could say you COULD fall "in love" online. Not that the love would be good...or honest... or lasting or anything like that...but it's certainly possible. | |

Posted: 11/14/2004 8:41:44 PM | eh i knew this girl i met online and we talked like everyday. We started talkin about meetin. Then one day bam! Shes gone. Im like wtf? She comes back and she pretty much gave me this bullognie story and slapped me with a trout.
Will take awhile before i ever trust a women again. Considering we were friends sinse i was like 14 and we were really good friends like every day friends for like 8 months and she was just thinking about meeting. I suggested earlier but got. " i was not ready "
Now she won't even talk to me and ive not talked to her for 2 months. Have had a good convo that lasted more then 10 min in like 4-5 It totally sucks. | |

Posted: 11/16/2004 12:07:47 PM | Ticket said earlier that we can fall in love with what or whomever we choose.... ei: kitchen sink cat , dog etc...
and it's true.........because there are different types of love. I don't love my "man" like I love my dad, or my dog..... or my kids....
I beleive you can form some very strong feelings and yes a sort of "love" relationship....but it will only go so far until there is actual contact with that person....

| IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN "LOVE" ONLINE?
Posted: 11/16/2004 1:02:46 PM | I don't think it's possible, so my answer is no. The only thing you could be falling in love with is a mere illusion, reflection, or construct of your own mind. In other words, you're chasing a misconception... you are falling in love with the concept of being in love with someone rather than loving the person for who they truly are... and you won't know whether you are in love or not until you actually meet them face to face and have known them for quite some time.
Old people walking hand-in-hand down in the park -- they are in love.
Two geeks typing on the internet are just two geeks typing on the internet. Simple as that.
Sorry if that sounded hypocritical, seeing as how I am writing this over the internet and all... | |

Posted: 12/5/2004 3:50:06 AM | | No it's just a game... Heck half of these guys don't even take it seriously...I onced asked the guy why he was on the dating site? and his response was "it's a contest between him and his friends on how many girls they can lay". lol That was the last time I spoke to him. Shot my game of pool and went home. | |

Posted: 12/5/2004 6:07:09 AM | For the people that believe it is a game, then there is no way any real feelings can enter into the equation. However for people who are looking for and want more than to just play games they can also find what they want.
The Internet is a communication tool, it's not a Matchmaker or answer to all your dreams. It is a method of communication that has the ability to bring many times more people together than physical meetings ever could. | |

Posted: 12/5/2004 6:39:27 AM | I agree with Watchman...
Using this "method" of communication to become more faimiar with a person is a great means.
There is a certain "openness"......
BUT.....I think that any person MUST be grounded and honest when "outhere". There are "players" etc....but those same "players" are in the work place, the bars etc... So I think it's just common sense to use the same caution on line as you would in a bar setting....
There are pros and cons to getting to know someone on-line..... especially if there are phone calls, pictures and cams involved... it can become quite ...."copmfortable"....so yes I do believe you can grow very attached and even start to love a person by this means...... | |

Posted: 12/5/2004 8:22:20 AM | | I agree with both angel and watchman. Honesty is key. I also think that cam and phone conversation help to weed out certain things the computer can hide (ie. no ability to backspace and retype when your talking on the phone..) | |

| IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN
Posted: 12/5/2004 8:09:41 PM | It is very possible to fall in love online. I introduced my sister to a friend of mine i met online they started off as friends she went thru hell with him helping him out thru all his problems she changed him for the better. He was a real bad boy type of guy she changed that about him he fell in love with her she fell in love with him and they went out dated for 3 yrs and decided to get married. However my parents would not accept him and they ended up breaking up. so he stole his moms car at 4 am and drove 4 hrs to come and speak to my parents. My parents freaked and questioned my sister about being with him and talking to him other then just online my sister denied it my parents hated him becus they thought of him as a lier and grounded me becus i defended their relationship. He loves my sister and someone needed to stand by his side my sister was to scared to stand up to my parents so i did it. I wouldnt let her break up with him becus i know what it is to be without the person u love and i wouldnt want my sister going thru what i go thru. So now they together but my parents dont know about it.
YES it is possible to fall in love online. | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN
Posted: 12/13/2004 10:12:51 PM | well I dont know about falling in love...How do you FALL INTO LOVE? isnt that something that just comes natrually, a feeling that you when youtalk to them, see them, hear them? Something that you see in their eyes, something you just know is real, and true?
i mean realisticly, online dating is just the first step, its meant as a way of introduction, not the way to have a relationship....there must be more to it...i think that this is a great starting point, learning about each other, getting to know their personality, and seeing if there could be an actual connection....
i think you can feel something strong for someone based soley on their personality, and looks online....But well I think LOVE is something that takes the PHYSICAL meeting, and connection...
i know people find the husbands/wives online all the time, maybe soul mates, maybe true loves, but maybe just a mistake?
i am not down on love, yes i think i could love someone i first met online....i already care deeply for my friends here on POF... and yes i would like to meet someone and see if the connection we have online is there in person....because if it were, i think from that LOVE would find a way...
this is just my thoughts on it... | |

| Re: IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL IN
Posted: 12/13/2004 11:08:48 PM | well,if you found a person that was always there for you like a flip of a switch,or push of a button, as online is....and you could make them disappear just as quick...how nice would that be? You get your "on" time, and your "off" time-without hassles. And you cut out all the nasties you might prefer to do without-gas attacks,pms,morning breath,snoring,nit picking,whining,tempers,yadda yadda yadda.... But on here, you get just that-the good stuff, the simple pleasure of thinking "all-me"...yeah, I love this! I fell in the "web-love", so to speak. My heart jumps every time I see his name. In reality, it's retarded. Well, for me..because I get all the symptoms of being in love (with someone I never met before!) I'm telling ya, it's gotta be a new psychosis,or addiction,if you will. Shrinks will be studying it soon, if not already.(lol) hey, we all need love. might as well take it where we find it! | |
