It seems that usually unless your very lucky the answer is no. Often times people who turn to online dating sites are desperate and will go with anyone not a "real match". Also it is very easy to lie about yourself online so even if someone isnt desperate you may not be getting the real information about your possible match.

sure!  people make the internet out like all you're going to find is pedophiles and serial rapists, but let's be honest - the internet reaches everyone in the world, including you, including your potential soulmate!  it's no more dangerous than posting ads in the newspaper, and that's been going on for hundreds of years - because it works!

With so much going on on the Internet now days it's hard not to form strong bonds with people you've met or even only known on line. Meeting people on line is interesting. There are some that see the Internet as a media to be whomever they've always wanted to be. Others use the Internet to truly be themselves, either way talking to people on line seems to be without the barriers that you find in the real world..which understandably leads to strong feelings at times. Unfortunately I've found that heartbreak on line is just as common if not more so than heartbreak in the real world.

Tristan, I know the feeling I have fell in love with men that totally turned me on and yes it can become addictive, especially if you have a reason for it...I have fun talking to men online and whatever else it may leads me because of the thrill of it and the challenge as well....I like what they say to me and some of them have said some really nice things to me to keep me coming back for more...I find it fun and exciting..And no you will not be able to resist the temptation of doing the cyber thing...Trust me I know!

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!

If this is an internet romance then you can fall in love with the idea of the person you think they are.  I can pretend to be anyone I want sitting here behind my keyboard.  It doesn't mean that it is me.\nGet to know someone in person first.  If you fall in love, it will be with the real thing.

Not on the net because you never know what you are getting until it's too late. Just seek someone with the same interest as you, someone down to earth,. And take your time getting to know this person, build your trust with this person, and most importantly, show your love to this person.  Don't rush things and if its meant to be you will indeed have found your partner for life someone you can be with and relate to.

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.

Hi,\nIt is a very common problem as Internet widely used nowadays. the two persons meet and chat from Internet and finally one loves another or love each other.......\ndo you know why? because of distance makes perfect. all the characters they showed are the attractive. and we accustomed to picture him/her as our ideal partner.\nMaybe you can make a communion with him, if he consider for you enough , I think he will help you.if not he is not worthy your love.Do you think so?

Ah, yes, I believe so..Love doesn't merely consist of the physical, especially if you are young.  It's importantly based on communication...just like a relationship with God for example.  If two people are to have a relationship, they must communicate or the relationship will break down...that's the only way you can have a relationship with God; Is to talk to Him (pray, read the Bible, church). ASSUMING that you're communicating some way with this person is a good foundation for a relationship.  If it's through the net, then, I think that's different because people mask who they are alot of times and have false identities, personalities, etc. and really aren't anything like the person they portray on the computer. This is not good.  If you have met this person one time or another and the relationship has blossomed from there and it's a long-distance relationship, then I'd say, GO FOR IT.  I've seen many enriching long-distance relationships turn into great marriages.  Good luck!

Is it really possible to fall in love with someone online and that it would be "real love?" How could you know if the person you love is who the person is? It is so easy online to be anyone a person wants to be. And it is very easy for a person to adjust his or her personality to be what he thinks the person on the other computer wants him to be. Sounds like you are dealing with an infatuation, and yes, you need to turn your computer off, and get real. You have absolutely no idea if that person loves you, and if he does you should be very suspicious.

I met a guy online 6 years ago and fell in love with him that very night. We talked online daily and on the phone every Friday night and Sunday afternoon. 2 years later he flew here to meet me. I will never ever forget seeing him for the very first time.  My heart was pounding so hard I could hardly breathe. Words cannot express the love I felt at that very moment.\n\nRemember...\nIt takes time to know people.  To know if they are for real.\nAnd always meet in a public place for the first few times.  Trust your gut feeling, mine never lets me down.\n\nGood luck and be careful.

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.
