Who believes in love online?

You can't really get to know a person online.  If you can't see them, you can't tell if they are lying to you.

Yes i did and I think everyone has one, now i dont mean the sickening..sappy..lovey dovey crap...but the one that knows you. knows your soul, that 1 person that you let completely in...the one you can tell anything & everything too...regardless of how embarrassing or stupid it is...the one that knows your feelings & moods from a single look or word and can change it all by a single look or word...the one person that has the power to hurt you no matter what you may tell yourself...the one person that you love and hate as much as you love and hate yourself..the one that you would gladly give your life up for if it meant that the other would have one moment of true happiness & peace. \nThats what a soul mate is to me. It doesnt have to be a lover or the person your in love with. It can be your mother, a sibling, the person that lives down the street, the person that lives a million miles away or the person you've known for years and cant get rid of. If your lucky and your paying attention you'll find that person and recognize them for who they are. I did and yes it was online and no we are not "in" love.

I don't have a problem finding love over the internet. After all, I met my husband on the net.\n\nWhat I have a problem with is people who actively go looking on the internet. It's like putting your name in the personals in the newspaper. A sign of desperation. And last I looked desperation isn't a good thing.\n\nThe internet is also dangerous because people don't think when they meet someone on the net. They rush into it talking about how they met only a month ago and have talked for only a week over the phone and want to get married to this person. For some reason, if it's over the net, they don't want to wait until they actually get to know someone.\n\nMy husband and I have known each other for almost 9 years. We knew each other for over three years as friends over the net. Then we spent 5 and a half years "dating" going back and forth between our countries and talking on the phone for hours and hours every night for YEARS. \n\nWe've been married since June.\n\nMost people aren't willing to take the time it takes. It's not like meeting someone face to face. It's alot more dangerous and you don't have the ability to look at each other so you can rely on your own personal perception. \n\nPeople also aren't willing to wait until they're over that "honeymoon" phase of the relationship and work at the communication part. It's why most internet relationships fail. They can't handle the distance and work on the communication.\n\nEven my family, the people who were so sceptical in the beginning and advising me against getting involved with my husband. Even they have admitted that this is probably the healthiest relationship they've ever seen due to the level of communication he and I have. We can even finish each others sentences and yet we will find each other absolutely fascinating. Even after all this time.\n\nIf people would learn to be patient and take it slowly, I wouldn't say anything. But most people seem convinced they want to marry this person after speak to them for only a month or so over the internet. It's ridiculous.

Yes, that is true.  He can love who you are and have very deep feelings for you as a person, but I don't think you can truly fall in love with someone until you meet them and spend real time with them.  Online you learn a lot about the person your talking to and you can even share pictures and do the whole video thing, but that still limits you to knowing only a part of each other and you still don't experience actually being together and touching and interacting fully with each other.

A lot of people have had much success with meeting the love of their lives online. So I guess it really depends on the person and how hard they are willing to find that special person.

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.)

I can say Yes.\nI am in love with him in the net for one and a half year and we plan to meet in 4 months, we are both excited about that. Though I have not met him yet, I do believe that I love with my true feelings and so does he. It doesnt matter you love someone in the net or off the net. I feel lucky to have such a nice guy thanks to the internet.

It is easy to fall in love over the internet but becareful not to confuse love with mere infatuation.  The word love is used to lightly.  Wait till you are able to hold and kiss this person to call it love.  Good luck.  Believe me.  Been there and done that.

CYBER LOVE IS JUST A PASSTIME BUT IT CAN BE REAL IF SOMEONE ADMIRES INNER BEAUTY & VALUES THE THOGHTS OF OTHERS

If you met him on the internet, it does NOT mean he is just after sex, I met my husband on the internet.  As for trusting, whatever happened to giving people the benefit of the doubt.  That's what's wrong with this world today, everyone thinks everyone else is out to get them.

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.

it sure is!!! trust me i know it makes no sense at all but make sure it's really love.. i know its so easy to talk open to someone online an sometimes it really does feel like love but its more of an emotional attatchment to the person becuz they provide u with something that your not getting in your normal day to day life its scary an confusing as hell but don't take that leap of faith unless u really check this person out...

I fell in love with a girl on the net.  She lived in Brazil, I live in the US.  We're married now.  We both thought we were too far away for anything to happen at first.  You just never know........  I also thought I fell in love with a few girls I met online, but I really hadn't.

Everyone out there loves something. How much do they love,  depends on the object or person or place. You can deny it but you are wrong, most poeple love money it makes them happy. People love sex it pleasures them. You can love tv it entertains you. So I think everyone believes in love no matter what.

Personally I don't believe you can love someone you have never met face to face.\nThe people you talk to on the internet can pretend to be whoever thay want you to think they are, so meeting face to face is the only way I can see for you to be in LOVE.\n\nYou can fall in love when you least expect it!  I know,..I did!  And we have been together for over 15 yrs. and only apart for 1 week since the day we first met!\n\nHe is wonderful.  The best gift God ever gave me was my best friend, lover, and now husband!  I thank the good Lord every day that he brought him into my life!\n\nI hope you find true love, however you do it, because there is nothing else like it in life!\nGod Bless!
