The most important thing to ask before I answer this question is have you met him in real life.  I mean have you had actual physical contact, not sex, just a real meeting.  It's hard to tell if love is real until you meet face to face.  If you have met face to face and are confident in your relationship and secure in the way that you feel about him, than what your friends think should not matter.  Come on, I am assuming that you are a grown woman if you are meeting men online, so drop the juvinile attitude and go for what you think is important to you.

It is possible to fall in love with someone you've come to know on-line.  I've known couples who have met on-line and are happily married.  I believe it is completely possible.  Congratulations on finding that someone special.\n\nI suggest you plan on setting up a meeting, and see if that same chemistry exists outside of cyberspace.  Sometimes people feel much more comfortable and are able to be themselves when there's a computer between them, than when they are there in person.  Give it some time and effort and hopefully you'll have a connection in real life that is as strong or stronger than the one you have via email.\n\n"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get--only with what you are expecting to give--which is everything.

I fell in love with my husband before I met him. \n\nEvery one has faults, though. Make sure you recognize this dude's before you get in too deep.\n\nFor the most part though, if he seems too good to be true, you're probably right. He can be whoever he wants to be online. If you meet in person, please be careful. (public place, bring a cell phone, have a way home that doesn't involve him, etc.)

theres nothing wrong with what you feel but its best to get to know the guys first especially because you only met him online. most guys that you meet online acts different when you talk to them online and phone and when you meet them in person. i've had few relationship dat i've met online..and its always like dat. keep in mind that its dangerous and its never easy. becareful who you meet and who u fall with. take everything slow and get to know the guy your falling for. also remember that if its meant to be then its meant to be. be patient. because love is patient. :D

If he has never seen you...i can only assume you met him online.\n\nTherefore:\n1.) He is NOT your boyfriend.\n2.) He is A boy you talk to online.\n3.) He does not love you because he does not really KNOW you.\n4.) YOU are just a girl he talks to online. Along with many others more than likely....\n5.) If you feel the need to lie about your weight, you do not love yourself, and shouldn't be "dating" anyone in the first place. \n6.) If you are fighting a lot and have never even met the guy, this alone should have clued you in to MOVE on.\n7.) Chat for fun. NOT to find Mr. Right.\n\nMy advice...stop meeting people online...unless you are old enough and mature enough to understand it's just chatting...it's for fun. Talking to someone thru IM..email or on the phone does not mean you KNOW them, nor does it mean they are your gf/bf.

You really need to meet them before you make a decision. I've met a couple of people from online that ended up being completely different than the way they presented themselves. I've also met a few that we just didn't click in person. \n\nRegardless of when or how you decide to meet them, please play it safe and meet in a public place! There are a lot of psychos out there so better safe than sorry!\n\nGood luck to you!

Personally, I think you need to sit the members of your family down and explain to them that you do not have a sugar-daddy.  Men are allowed to date whoever the hell they want because they're men and, let's face it, they can get away with anything in that department.  If you're confident that there's nothing between the two of you and you've already expressed these feelings to your friend, then you really should not worry what other people think.  So what if they think you're dating?  It's none of their business anyway.  As long as the people that matter to you aren't accusing you of anything and/or hurting your feelings, then those other people shouldn't matter.  What's that quote: "those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" or something like that, right?

The only dating I have done as an adult has been from on here.  I usually kind of know the person, have talked on the phone and online for quite awhile before we meet.  I have usually dreamed about the meeting for some time.  I tend to live a bit in a fantasy world.  I think about will we have as much fun together laughing, will he see me and think that I am not what he expected, etc.  I don't worry about how I will see the other person because I have already formed an emotionally satisfying bond from talking for awhile.

Yep. Well...kinda. I told one of my good friends about this website and we ask questions and answer each others. \nI think that that is really weird! Have you told this other guy yet?\nADDED AFTER LOOKING IN YOUR PROFILE:\nOooh, is it the guy that you like that you think you are gay with?

I think Love is a choice, and as for the telling him you Love him . the best thing to do is say i LOVE the way you...(fill in the blanks) or I Love it when you.... and one way to get him to feel it for you is to copy cat him. not outright bu if he laughs ,laugh back. if he is at dinner and gets a sip of tea, pick your glass up, non chalantly. DO NOT BE OBVIOUS.  when u do this it sends a subliminal message to him that you two really click. he wont know why he feels like that but he will for sure feel it. when he talks be "intrigued " never look away when he is talking. and take an opportunity to touch his hand or pat him on the shoulder or the famous gentle brush against him on the way to the car or in the house. men dont remember what u wore or what the conversation was about they remember the touch and the feeling of connection.the scent you wore and the size of your butt and boobs...COME ON GUYS ...AM I TELLING A LIE?

I am married to a man that I met online.  I thought that I loved him while we were only communicating online.  But once we actually met in person and starting dating things were very different...in a good way.  And I then when I ACTUALLY fell in love with him, I realized that what I felt for him before wasn't love at all...but more of an infatuation.  \n\nI think it's very easy to get feelings for another person via the internet.  But I do honestly believe it is VERY different in person.\nI don't think you can love someone until you know them completely, and you just can't do "at first sight" or over the internet.

It's easy to feel this way about someone that you are communicating to on the internet.  Probably many things in common, sense of humor, etc.  Be careful tho.  On the internet there is no commitment, no responsibility.  It's a whole new ball game when you're together.  Take things very very very slow, don't let your emotions take over, it's too dangerous.  Be cautious and if you meet do it in a public place not just once but every time for quite some time.

ok... i dont know you or your man, so i can only tell you what i do know. i have been with my man. i met him online and we became friends. after 1 month of chatting, he left to South America for a month. when he got back , we met up and started our relationship that same day. after 2 weeks, i knew that i loved him. but i held it in, and didnt say anything. 3weeks... i thought that he felt the same and we were doing as you are- telling each other how we felt about each other and all that jazz... anyway, after the fourth week had past, i was lying in his arms morning after valentines day, and i was thinking how wonderful everything was and how much i love him.. and i couldnt not tell him any more. so i told him. and he just smiled. he said thank you and that he just needed a little time to decide how he feels, but that the fact that i told him that i love him wont scare him away. anyway... 3days later, i get home and he is in my bed (he lives an hour and a half away, so that was a big deal) and he had a single red rose. he told me that he loved me and that he doesnt want to lose me. Its been 10 months now and i have no intention f leaving this man. he feels the same. We told each other a month into the relationship and everything was fine. My point, after that rather long winded saga, is that, if you are meant for each other, then telling him, should be the least of your worries and you should be secure in your relationship enough to have the confidence to tell him. dont wait for him to tell you first. chances are that he is confused and trying to sort his head out too. men arent complicated creatures. just silly ones. lol. if you love him, tell him. everything will be fine hun. trust in yourself and your relationship. \nDont wait on men. lol. You're a woman. Be a strong one.\ngoodluck to you hun\nxxx

I fell in love with a guy last year, but when I asked him out he said he can't, and that I was going to University... I wondered if that last comment was because he'd said that he had a girlfriend who moved away to Italy, and that his experience was affected by that. Anyway, I was heartbroken, and it's been a year, but I still think of him with love. \n\nI've done the whole trying to meet other guys, but none of them make me feel the way I felt about him. There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but most are a bunch of red herrings! \nI think he is a fool for not realising how much he means to me. \n\nI said this to someone else, that it's all very well people saying "move on and get on with your life" but if you love someone it isn't that easy. I think you should avoid her, as she is spoken for - give yourself a break. I had no choice, as I moved away. \nI now remember that guy with love - the way I see it, the love was floating around like a cloud, where I'd breathe it in all the time, whether I meant to or not. I now imagine that cloud of love to be sealed inside a large glass jar. Sometimes the essence still comes out, if something reminds me of him, but I have the lid, so I keep those feelings safe. I still wish we could be together, but I also hope that I might fall in love again.\nWhoring yourself is not going to help at all. Give yourself all the time you need to get over it - I speak from my experience, but yours may be different, but it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. \nJesus still loves you!\n\nI recommend this a lot: See the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

Hello, \nHow are you doing?\n\nLet me tell you a secret if you want a guy to admit his True Feelings instead of admitting them yourself, just adore him. \n\nI mean just adore him for everything he has done for you. For all those good times.\nFor all the fun you had when you talk to him.\nFor al the time he had helped you out.\nBottum line only adore him for all the good reasons but don't over do it.and thats if you really like him ofcourse as If he is the one.\n \nThe only thing was wondering personaly if you have seen him if not in person then atleast web came or internet conversation or something. there are a lot of Flerts/Frauds on the web too you.\n\nHe could be just shy you know, like I was, and my girlfriend did that to me, I felt special, and finaly have some guts to ask her out. Because All I wanted to know what do you think about me. If you would be some ussual girl he might would have not care for anything. 4 years seems a lot, WoW! What do you guys talk about?\n\nBut after you would adore him for that he wil get the idea and trust (if I'm not mistaken) Guys always go with the girl who make them Special.\n\nLet me know how it go?\n& yeah "NO KISS ON THE FIRST DATE.....lol!"\n"A NICE HUG WILL BE JUST FINE PLUS MYSTEIRIOUS"\nGOOD LUCK!

Hold Up!\n You met this guy online how long have u been talking to him for? \n\nIf you ever choose to meet anyone off line all I could advise would be to not travel alone, take a friend and meet in a public place like a shopping centre.\n Your friend doesnt even have to be with u but they can watch u from a distance. U have to be very weary. And only meet him when u feel comfortable. \nIf u dont wanna meet up keep dropping excuses he will get the hint1 Becareful :)

Yeah I have this same exact problem. There are like several guys that i think are absolutly hott and i cant tell them cuz i dont know wat they would say because we are just friends. Well my advise is to just sit him down ALONE and tell him how you feel. Dont worry everything will work out fine. Love, \nCassie
