Is internet love a do or a don't?\nMy own opinion? A don't.\nWhat about you?

The only con I can see to it is you have the world's lamest "how did you meet" story.\n\n"Yeah, we were in this chat room one day and our ip addresses met and... I swear, my motherboard nearly melted."\n\n"Man, the first time we webcammed! Magic!"\n\nHonestly, for that reason and that reason alone, I'm staying away from internet dating. I met my current beau in New Orleans helping with the relief effort. We're going back this summer. That's a MUCH better story, as far as I'm concerned. But hey, if it works for you, it works for you.  \n\nI don't see anything wrong with it, really, but I would say you should be careful.  Much like in the real world, you never know who you're meeting, only a little more so, because you don't have physical cues to work with.

Of course. Anyone who says no is lying. Like I ate the cookies from the store cookie box (no seriously) I bought. Then no one  knows about what I write on the internet in my un-cyber life. Like fanfics. Or the fact that I stpped liking my crush but then I started to like him again (which I figured out was admiration because he was talented, not love.). Many right?

internet relationships are pretty much the same as any other relationship. whenever you embark on a new relationship you are taking a chance regardless of where or how you met.

Did I ever....had a friend that I wanted as more than a friend.  My friend moved out of state,  and we kept in touch my telephone for about two years.  Through a couple more moves on his part and some on mine,  we lost touch, for three yrs.  I connected with a  friend of his and found out he'd be in town,  so we made plans to see one another,  only to have a blizzard cancel plans,  he flew out of town the next morning.  When he got home,  he told me on the phone that he'd been in love with me for the last five years or more.  Time goes by,  we lose connection again,  but for FIVE years this time.  We've now been reconnected by phone and internet for about four or five years.  He begs me to move accross the country with him (even with my five kids, lol, he must have it bad, huh??lol).  I told him he should've said something while he lived here,  but he thinks I should've been the one to say it.  Just one of those things that makes ya wonder????What if????  The bad thing about missing the chance,  is that I know we would've been perfect for eachother.  The good thing is that I am in a happy marriage with five wonderful children.  Regretfully,  there's just no way to ever know,  leaving me with more "wonder" than I really care to have sometimes.

Have all yahoo users abandoned proper English?\n\nIf you meant, "Does everyone fall hard in love at some point in their lives", then the answer is NO.  Not everyone.  In my opinion it is a gift to go through life without falling hard in love.  It allows a person to remain more authentic, and true to their life's purpose.\n\nNow, if you meant, "Does everyone fall in love at some point in their difficult lives," again the answer is no.  I think everyone LOVES at some point, at least those of us who are not psychopaths.  But not everyone falls in love.  Some people don't even believe in love (in the medieval sense you've alluded to).

What is should? You either enjoy it or you don't. And if you do, who gives a damn?

'I would agree with everything Mindy said. For I too am in an identical situation to her. There's nothing wrong with meeting people thro' the internet, and if you then fall in love, distance becomes just a hurdle to overcome. In fact, meeting and falling in love thro the internet may be more real because the natural male/female urges that can sometimes get in the way, initially are not there. And so, you build up a strong friendship first. And that is the foundation of a strong relationship.So, definately, go for it

'I see your point.  I hope that most people just see this as a way to entertain themselves 'cause even the most sincere people don't always know what the heck they are talking about.  I send a question out (rarely) hoping someone may actually have an idea on relationships that I have never thought of...something original...but it never happens.  On that thought; did you know that 98% of our "free" thinking is regurgitated?  Either we have thought it all before or it is someone else's thinking.  This means only 2% of our thinking day is original.

Yep..\n\n\nnot all things are possible in real life...\ncertain things are possible only in Imagination...\nand Internet gives us a chance to live out that Imagination.....\n\nbut, i m strictly against the misuse of this advantage offered by the Internet.......

Fun? Doing what, typing on my keyboard? lol.. Seriously though? Yes I have dated via the internet. Never went further than it should have without meeting in person though, if you get my drift. I don't cyber.\nBut it's great, espec for someone like me. No time for dating losers, who just wanna go out with me b/c I am a Bitchin Gal or to ask me to pick up the check. In the use of a pre-date date, I totally recommend the internet. When you start to get into things a little too heavy though, watch out. It's like having a LongDistance relationship... And those are not for the faint of heart! Espec if one of you is NOT much of a typer lol..\nIn fact, my current B/F and I met online. Been dating what, 8 months now....  He's the best, and we are so well suited! (NOT Twins or anything, we just have common interests, ideals & goals etc)\n\nAnd all because of that Dastardly MySpace lol...!

I do not.\n\nInteracting with "people" on the web is strangely compelling to most of us. We are usually at work or in a room, basically alone, at home or a cafe. We look at a screen and type.....read a response.....and perceive a relationship developing. It may be a banking relationship or an instructional relationship, a buying /selling/ questioning/ answering relationship. We may have cyber-friends and/or cyber-enemies. Our perception is one of a group (or couple) engagement of ideas and dialog.\n\nWeb-sites are commonly filled with declarative statements, rhetorical questions and "sticky" links and crude Q&A response threads. When you plug yourself into a more "human" question and answer session with a "live" human individual you begin to feel like the screen and keyboard in front of you "comes alive".....almost like a telephone call. With the advent of one and two-way video feeds the web has finally created the "ambiance"  of a real meeting of two or more people. You may still be alone in a room but your mind begins to "lean" towards believeng you are sharing a "moment" with another person.\n\nAs mentioned.....buying a car or doing your banking  or getting/giving advice to a client or a friend is made easier and more convenient by using this technology. However, it will never replace intimacy. And many types of relationships require a truly intimate experience.....not only a sexual relationship.....but a truly healing relationship requires intimacy. Compassion requires intimacy. Reassurance requires intimacy. Real friendship requires intimacy. The web will never be able to replace holding someone's hand in a time of need or a time of reassurance or a time of congratulations.\n\nBut we short-cut that true intimacy and many times settle for something APPROXIMATING intimacy with our love-life. We all have FLIRTED on the internet at some time. It's fun and basically harmless. I love to try to answer questins and imponderables while bettering my typing skills and self-editing abilities. We all do something that is fun while using the web to be our buddy/tutor/ soapbox/journal or scrapbook.\n\nSex..........as we have allowed ourselves to view/experience it.....has become a daily cat-and-mouse game for many pepole. Some of us have forgotten what makes sex so wonderful and ALIVE so we become so jaded and "mechanical" that we surrender the most intimate part of ourselves to be corrupted by a typed word and/or a pretty picture.\n\nThe Defence Department created the internet.......the sex industry and the people who pay into it have FUNDED 90% of its growth and develpopement costs!!!!!\n\nLet's enjoy the fruits of what pornography has built (this cyber-infrastructure).... but let's also resist becoming a slave/zombie to it. The REAL people in your life are an arm's length away. \n\nTOUCH THEM.

I think that was just on Wisconsins Ballot.  I voted no.  Who cares if your in love your in love.  By all means I am not condoning it, but is that not what the U.S. is all about?  Freedom?  If Joe wants to do John in the azz who am I too stop it.  Just as long as I don't have to see it in public I don't care.  And if Jill wants to lick Jane,  I can get you some good money for the pictures.  Love is Love and no one has the right to stop it.

If society was not so F'd and persons clung to honesty and truths without distortions and personas and the like, the web would be an excelent place for meeting person/s from the broader sphere.  Alas, how sad, predators abound (male and female alike) and deciet runs thick and deep.  I know I am okay since I work at being okay every single day, but I am atypical since I exist in exile and value asexuality too and I'm old and simply avoid interacting with many people and this reduces the liabilities encountered from slime and the like.  Hi and hello are pleasing events whenever I do venture to town for purchasing essential supplies but I restrict my possible visitors to no more than five persons total and prefer one-with-one interactions for sake of having quality time with that individual with topics focused on things of merit and not the run of sands-through-the-hour-glass seeped with trivias and the like which all go to nowhere quickly.  Mind wasters suck and distance from that kind is sought.  If not meaty topics are to be discussed, what is in it for me?  Anyhow, answered an e-mail the other day and was involved with what was represented as a female and after some discussion the person told me she was a male and I just carried on our e-mail exchange, no sweat.  But since I was not persuing any sexual interaction/s s/he decided it was time to go to bed and after his/her bye-bye s/he returned on the web for e-mail exchanges with somebody else.  You see, how to overlook two falsities when they make a liar true?  Not I to garbage my time.  I judge by honesty, and yes, seems the web is laden with abundant phonies and distorting persons and if I were ever to plan on meeting someone from this source I would excecise extreme caution and I think I wouldn't even bother with it.  If I sought any interpersonal relationship it would have to based in priciple and not persona.  I fairly loath wink, blink, and nodders.  Have a nice day.

I believe every relationship whether it is online or real cannot survive without personal touch. When we met someone on Net and then we start sharing similar kind of thought then we have in our mind, we should meet personally so that we can match with the outcome which was till then in mind or heart. After that meeting, we come to final conclusion whether or not we continue this type of relationship. In this Virtual World, telling a dubious thing is very common. I believe in personal interaction, personal eye contact. In my believe Eye is the gateway to the heart of the person. In those cases where personal meeting was pleasant, their relationship existed for so long time and who gets confuse at the time of their first meeting, they just try to avoid in the Net also.

My friends and I were just talking about this last night...We have came to the conclusion that Love is a very strong word.  So many people today believe that they are in love, but love is to give unconditionally... love is putting someone elses needs before your own.  I have thought I was in love 2 times, I am now divorced with three kids and I can honestly say I have never loved anyone the way I love my children... If you can honestly say to your self that I would die for them  I mean being truthful to yourself and saying I would die for you... that's love... and I have never felt that way before.... and you don't have to be in love to be with someone...if you enjoy the company why say it's over... just enjoy your life  you only have one.

No, but it sure doesn't make ones morals of the highest standards.  \n\n"You only are, what you think you are!"\n\nThere are a lot of people out there who do the cyber thing and a lot of men and women alike who seek their pleasures in this manner...so who am I to judge?  I may not do it but I also feel the internet is a known place where everything goes and where everything goes...someone will gather...and it is "safe sex"...
