I tend to fall in love with people on the internet that I have never met,is that a problem and is it really,?

Yes, it's a problem.  No matter how close you think you're getting to a person on the internet, the rate of information exchange is really very low.  You are not actually getting to know the person, just how well he types.\n\nSo you (and everyone else for that matter) fill in the details with your imagination.  This is a problem because there is a tendency to romanticize, simplify and idealize things.  There's also a tendency to want to be Cinderella and experience the magic of meeting your prince.  This means that you are predisposed to see princes where none exist.\n\nSo you become infatuated with people that you probably should not and sometimes cannot have a relationship with.  I mean, what are you really going to do with a guy who lives on another continent?\n\nThat hurts you in two ways:  first, you suffer all of the loss and disappointment when you realize this guy isn't for you.  Second, the time you spend infatuated with internet guy is time you could have been spending meeting actual people in your area who there really is a chance with.  You've lost all that time.\n\nI met my wife on the internet.  But I was looking only for people who lived near me (she was 10 minutes away) and who I could meet for real within just a few days.  I also met about 30 women to whom I most decidedly did not marry. \n\nThe internet is a tool.  It's not a replacement for your real life.

I'm guessing you were trying to say you proposed to this guy you've never met? I think if he feels you are obviously obsessed, you will give in to him if you meet and trust me...there's crazy people out there who prey on your type every single day. Be cautious of what you're doing and saying via 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.

You can't truly fall in love on the internet. Without a person physically being there how do you know they're truly sincere. Your heart is such a confusing organ, but vitally important. You obviously seem unsure. Guard your heart by using your head.

There is real love. I have been attached to or dependent on  people that I didn't necessarily love. I have called these experiences love out of desperation, but I have also felt true love for others. I just haven't often had it returned. I've had people swear that they did love me, but it was more need than anything--you can tell who does and does not love you by refusing to be a door mat. The ones who remain love you.

OK YOU NEED A REALITY CHECK.. YOU LOVE A PERSON WHOM YOU MET ON THE NET AND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.. WELL GIRL THAT SHOULD BE THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES. DID ANYONE EVER TELL YOU HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO MEET PEOPLE OFF THE INTERNET.. HE COULD TELL YOU ANYTHING AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW..STAY OFF YAHOO CHAT ROOMS AND GO OUT AND MEET PEOPLE FACE TO FACE IN YOUR AREA..THIS GUY COULD BE A CRAZY PSYCHO..HE MIGHT BE TELLING YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR.. MANY BAD STORIES OF NET MEETINGS.. GROW UP AND ACT RIGHT

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...

Honestly, I do have a lot of people who like me and care for me, but finding someone who loves me, has been a lonely adventure that I see no end to. Maybe some aren't meant to end their trek.

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.

Yes, I have that way, and, yes, it is normal and natural.  The problem is when a person feels unlovable for too long or that they are obsessed with the thought that nobody could ever love them that those thoughts and feelings can be a serious problem.

The simple answer is: Of course! You always have the chance to meet your love and as long as you are honest with that person they are likely to go wherever they need to go to be with you. Now if you expect to find that person here through questions, that isn't very likely. The internet tends to make bad relationships because it's too ambiguous.

I've met quite a few people from the internet, and ended up with some very good friends that I see almost daily :)

??? I guess it's something about your personality.  Damn, if I could meet another person that would make me fall in love... xoxo\nHmmm... we're on the same boat but on opposite ends.  I'm a guy that has problems falling in love or even talking to the person everyday.  Why?!?  I like my space, right?  I like my own time.  Maybe I'm not ready because I haven't found anyone worthy of my absolute (EVERYDAY) once a day phone call thing that everyone does.  Therefore, for that reason it is difficult for anyone to see anything going serious with me.  It doesn't bother me.\n\nI'm just saying we're oddly on the same boat but at two different ends.

Of course it's possible, I have a few friends on the net that I never talk to other than email, but we can talk about anything.  It takes the pressure and judgment off that you might get from someone you know for real.

Hi, i met a guy online and we got on really well, he lived in Sydney Australia, we had been chatting for 6 months then he got a chance to come here to Leeds in the UK and we had 2 days together and to my surprise we didn't get on all that well, we had fun but it was not the same in person as it was when we were chatting online, he then went back home and we never spoke again.\ni am sure people do find love on the internet and have happy lives together.\nyou don't really know someone untill you meet them.\nxx Jo

Well.. It also happens to me.. I'm a person who talks to guys a lot online.. When I'm talking to someone for hours and getting to know him better, I feel like there's a connection between the two of us and that he's worth talking to. On the other hand, when I'm talking to other guys on here, I feel that I'm just wasting my time talking to them and that they're not worth talking to.. But yeah, Its hard when you meet people on the net because of the time difference and it's really hard to catch up with 'em when you're busy.. I am not really sure if my answer will help but yeah, I'm just sharing y'know.. =)
