Well, lets start by saying 2 of my cuzz met their soulmates from chatrooms are are still very much in love.I personally met mine from there too.Yeah, people can lie abt everything on the net but you gotta meet them in the flesh.And you just take it from there, if it doesnt work, move on.Lets face it, the guys n gals we meet outside sometimes don't work out either..Just go with the flow and most importantly, follow your heart.

Of course it is ok.  After all, it would be ok if you met face to face and it deepened into a closer relationship.  The only thing about meeting online is that you take it slow and careful at the beginning..ie. meeting first in public places, etc.  I have made some of the best friends over the net.. and have met the man of my dreams!!

I personally believe that the internet is an alternative avenue of finding love.  Just like going to the bar, attending parties, going to malls, joining clubs...this is the new age with an amazing technology so cyberworld is an alternative for everything. I have found 2 amazing guys on the net....I feel in love with them on a different level at one point in time. They did reciprocate too...we had a really good relationship that didn't stay online.  We just started virtually but ended up in real life.  With one guy, it lasted for 3 years....that means it wasn't really just a game.  It's really possible to find love online, take it from me.

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.

Big ne.  Personally I think you have to be pretty deperate to go to the internet to find a BF/GF.  Somehow I dobut God wanted the internet to be used for dating.  I mean, your soulmate could easily be right in front of you and you MISS the chance to be with them but then you meet a so-called SO on the internet.  So in my opinion, only despearte people come to the internet for their so called love.  How can it be real?  Its not its fake.  There's an old saying, "Don't look for love, let it find you."

I think friendships and relationships have as much chance of surving if started online as any other!  They will only last though, if both parties are actually honest, and true to themselves!  If you are being a different person online to who you really are, then expect to be found out.  It's legitimate if kept online, it's just different when you meet in person.

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

My friend did. They were together for 4 years and married for almost a year. I think that relationships that start online have a better survival potential because you bond over similar interests and values while in the "real" world the first attraction is always physical and cannot guaranty that you will have something to hold on to once the initial infatuation is gone. I am dating someone I met online as well and I couldn't be happier.

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.

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.

'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 am finding that it is.  Internet is not a bad thing...\njust a relatively new thing for dating.  Give it a chance\nbut please be careful.. there are predators out there.

My husband and I both think it is.  We feel that if you are seeking ANY form of intimacy outside of the relationship, things need to be evaluated...even if it is something as impersonal as the internet.

Long distance relationships can work, but I think that for such a relationship to work at least one of the people involved must be ready to move eventually. If neither one of you wants to/can live where the other one is living now, maybe you could consider going to a third country where you could both be. If neither one of you is ready to move, sorry to say, it's unlikely that the relationship will work out.\n\nA long distance relationship worked for me, we are now married and living together despite living thousands of kilometers apart for a year and a half after we got to know each other. :)

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.
