Calypsophia XstarXnoXstarX funky_fudge_monkey is it possible to love somebody you have never physically met?? no, definately not. is it foolish to do so if you can?? you can't, but thinking that you can is foolish do you think it's possible to find your soulmate over the internet?? haha, yeah right ~sarcasm~ or is it just desperate people who immediately fall in love with their internet friends?? it probably is actually, people who need love but can't find it, so they need an alternative, artificial love. what do you think?? i think that internet love is for people who can't get a real relationship is it just infatuation?? it's not infatuation, it's just desperate unloved people what are your opinions?? people who "love" others on the internet need to get out more. i'd be happy to know them ^_^ xX you quoted someone, but didnt respond. i did, i wrote my views in the quote

I did. I lived in NYC, and my husband lived here in TN when I first met him online. this was around 12 years ago. I've lived here in TN for 10 years now and we've been married for almost 8. it's not the best way to find love, it is indeed dangerous. a person can be whatever they want to be online. but how much more or less dangerous than meeting someone at a club or a bar, or even at the bus stop? they might be right there, but you dont really know them. but I do agree that initially, while it's still merely an online affair, it's not true love. but that doesnt mean it cant grow to be so. my story is perfect proof of that.

I love my boyfriend Jacob with all my heart and more, but I've never touched him. We've seen pictures of eachother after we were dating for awhile. Now we talk to each other on the phone for hours every night. It isn't just desperate people who "immediately" fall in love with their net friends. If it's truely immediate, then yes, perhaps desperate. It usually isn't immediate though. Usually it's friends for awhile, then they hook up, and awhile later they say they love eachother, like a 'normal' offline relationship. You can have internet infatuation just like you can have offline infatuation. But it's not ALL infatuation. In my opinion internet relationships are just like offline relationships. There can be anything involved, just like offline. In online relationships you can feel loved, you can love, you can see each other every day, you can say you love them. There is also the dark side. You can still be abused (emotionally only though) by an online partner, you can still be used in an online relationship, and you can still feel the hurt, bitterness, even pain of breaking up online. It's all the same, the same risks, the same gains and losses, and the same value.

I think it's possible to fall in love over the Internet. I also don't think it's foolish.. risky at times yes, but love is only foolish when you throw all reason out the window and put blind faith in the person on the other end.
The love of my life and I met online. I was recovering from a broken heart and he was being the nice guy - several months later we realized we'd developed feelings for one another that went beyond our friendship.. even with him being 5k miles apart, I fell in love with him and him with me.. nothing planned vacations to and from and working extra hours couldn't resolve though. ^_^

I dont know that I'd have been able to keep up such a long distance relationship indefinately.

I personally wouldn't risk it. With all the perverts out there today I think the Internet is THE LAST place I would look to for love. (and e-harmony said no one matched me XD)

yep its possible but foolish.
its possible coz during internet relationships, "looks", which is a factor that most ppl ignore in relationships, are not very much IGNORED. thus making it possible.
its foolish coz loving a person who is not with u is empty and there r lots of doubts coz of the fact that d both of u r not together.

I had it once. It didn't work out. You can't truely trust them you know? You never know if they are cheating behind your back, or if they're A LOT older/younger than you, or well..if they're rapists or something along those lines. It's trust that keeps a relationsip, and internet relationships have less of that.

yes i think that its posible to fall in love over the internet... although i think if u do meet someone on line like that and u develope a relation ship with them... u should have some sort of confermation that who u think ur talking to is really who they say they r... like a picture and their real name... cause u never kno who u r really talking to

I think it's possible, but highly dangerous. As long as you take the precautionary things, like don't tell them your address and such, and just try to be safe, you can be friends, and maybe eventually fall in love. But sometime, you do have to meet. But just be safe, meet in a public place, and get to know each other in real life.
It can work. =)

You can make good friends on gaia, can't you? I know I can. I have many really good friends in my guild. If you can make good friends online, why can't internet relationships work?
However, I do believe that after a time, people will have to actually meet in real life if it is every going to really be serious, but the first step is getting to know one another, which is easily done online.

However, I do believe that after a time, people will have to actually meet in real life if it is every going to really be serious, but the first step is getting to know one another, which is easily done online. yeah, that's the thing. an internet relationship can work but the realistic potential for relocation and a near infinite amount of patience has to be there. if it's not, then a true, serious, and lasting loving relationship simply isnt practical as it will have 10x the stress of a real-life relationship. also, it's easier to have a platonic friendship online because lets be honest here... they're less demanding. they dont need nearly as much attention. one doesnt pine for the physical presence and closeness of a mere friend. sure, one could miss having a friend around and wish they lived closer so they could hang out and do stuff together, but they wont go out of their minds if their friend isnt physically there. love relationships are generally deeper and needier in nature.

Personally, I don't think internet relationships are any good.
They make no sense to me.
I have trouble understanding how you can say you want to stay with someone forever when you never even met the person before. =
But that's just my opinion.
