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 met my wife online, actually. We've been together about 10 years now.

Honesty lies in the heart/soul of whoever you are talking with, I personally dont date online, I believe there is ALWAYS a little something that's not being told by one or the other...see, lonely women, they fall so easily, so when a guy gets online and is like "oh I love you, I want you to move to me, we can have a family and ohh baby this, oohh baby that" and it most always ends up in ...well....it ends up badly. lol...If you're looking for someone online, talk for awhile on the computer, after you "BOTH" are comftorable, talk on the phone, send cute little gifts through the mail....and when you both feel like you can't live your life without the other one, make arrangments to meet in person (public place of course)...if that goes well, do it a few more times, vacation with eachother for a week at a time...after that, if things are still going well..and BOTH people are inlove then it may be safe to say..."IT'S LOVE" :o)

my bf i met on answers. it's going great. other guys i've met online....and we went out for a while. so i'm not opposed to meeting someone online as long as you know in time you'll meet each other. it IS possible to fall in love this way. :)

I hope you date somebody off of the computer, or else the it would be pretty hard to have a physical relationship.  \n\nYou can date somebody off of the computer, but you had better make sure that they are who they say they are first.  There are a lot of weirdo's pretending to be something that they are not just to get to young people on the internet.

You mean cheating on your spouse ?  Yes it is I think...I think on - line relationships are in some form a way of being unfaithful infact its worse in a sense because you can get emotionaly attached because you start knowing the person well and thinking THINKING you are in love with that person...its a totally unrealistic thing unless you take it to the next level and meet.  But yup to me it is...think about it, what would you do if you saw your spouse doing that?  Id flip out, shove the puter up his azz break it on his head and then um well id take it from there heh.

well clearly your not in love with the current boyfriend or you wouldnt be searching for someone online so i owuld suggest you end the current relationship as far as the man you have met online you really need to meet him before you go to overboard many times people are very different in person than they seem online. I have met many people online and it is rare when they are the way you imagined them...and the same works for him you do not know how he is going to like you until you meet so I would wait and see on this new love.

I met my now husband online, we lived 4 hours apart, and saw each other 2 times a month for 2 years.  I think it makes it easier to get to know people, and brake if off if needed.  I had a way to get the good guys from the losers, and it always worked.  Right away I would ask for a picture of their private man area, and if they sent one to me, it showed they were pigs.  First that they had thoughs pics to send, and that they would sent them so easily.  \nSure online dating is difficult, but then again, so is dating in the real world.

You need to look at the thousands of answers to this question that already exist on this site. \n\nIt is impossible to know whether someone is sincere whom you only know through an online and/or telephone relationship. Also, there is no way to be sure that you'll really like each other unless you meet. Even if everything looks great on paper (or on screen), you would need a lot of time together before any pronouncements you guys make to each other would mean anything real.\n\nI'm not saying it can't work out; only that there are too many variables for anyone to know for sure. Life online is so much simpler than day-to-day, person-to-person contact.

Yes, they can work.  My husband, whom I met on line, and I are approaching our 5 year wedding anniversary so you can have a long term commitment from one.  I think the better sites are the ones that have you fill out a profile and then match based on personality - In my singles days udate.com was one.  I never used eharmony since we were together before it came out, but it appears to follow the same format.\n\nBefore I met my hubby I dated a handful of guys from sites (don't remember exact number but it was probably around 8) and I never had a bad experience.\n\nThe key is to treat this just like you would dating someone off-line.  Pick people that are geographically close to you and after a few emails you should start meeting in person.  I think it's crazy when people claim they are madly in love with someone they've only emailed.  If after a few emails the other person is leery of meeting you in a public place (another necessity just to be safe) or at least talking on the phone I'd worry if that person was married or completely different from the way they were portraying themselves.\n\nHope this helps.

Well getting attached to someone you talk to online is an bit extreme,granted there are some cool people with decent personality but to be truthful any one can portray that online if they know how to talk to people. TO want to go stay with someone over the summer that you've talked to online is moving a little quickly dont ya think? I am sorry that you are sad but think about it this person could have been bad for you and things happen for a reason take it as a learning experience. I would move on and try and meet someone locally, or at least if I talk to them online meet them and get to know them in person before I make a leap that big

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 found my best friend online - my wife.  It was nearly 4 years ago now.  Keep trying - but never rule out finding friends in the real world - they tend to have less to hide!

It most definitely can happen.  My husband and I met on the internet and created a relationship from online chats and phone conversations.  We started dating, met face to face, and the rest is history.

Sure. Happens all the time. A recent article said that 12% of the people in the US who got married in 2005 met on the Internet. I am happily involved with someone I met on the 'net. No, it wasn't a dating site. Our first conversation was an argument about politics on a news discussion board.\n\nOf course there are going to be freaks and whackos here, but, if you think about it, you could also meet a freak or a whacko at a bar, at the food court, or even at school. The internet has no corner on the weird market.\n\nMy advice is just consider the 'net a way to meet people you probably wouldn't bump into in your "real" life, and take the time to learn about them just as cautiously as you would with someone you meet anywhere else.
