is it possible to love somebody you have never physically met??
is it foolish to do so if you can??
do you think it's possible to find your soulmate over the internet??
or is it just desperate people who immediately fall in love with their internet friends??

is it just infatuation??
what are your opinions??
i'd be happy to know them ^_^

funky_fudge_monkey is it possible to love somebody you have never physically met?? yes it is very possible because behind the machine there is a human, but i think most of the time its dangerous. is it foolish to do so if you can?? i think its a bit foolish, but it depends how far the person lives, if there is no way that two people could meet then theres no point but as i said before this is dangerous since other people pose as others. do you think it's possible to find your soulmate over the internet?? im not going to say its Impossible but theres a 99.99999 percent chance that i wont find a soulmate over the internet. or is it just desperate people who immediately fall in love with their internet friends?? not really you dont have to be desperate to fall inlove, sometimes it just happens. one of my best friends fell inlove with a guy over the internet. they have been going out for like the last 3 years and she even talked to him, his parents, both of their parents approved and they are going out. he lives in her country and is coming to the U.S in like a year or two so they will be able to be together. im so happy for them^_^ what do you think?? is it just infatuation?? what are your opinions?? My opinion with internet love is that its too dangerous. i dont recommend it. and it is very rare that an internet relationship will be successful. i'd be happy to know them ^_^ xX

I met my husband now of nearly 8 years (been physically together for 11 or 12 years) online. before I met him in person, I thought I loved him, but once I met him in person I realized he was quite different in real life than from what I imagined he was while only knowing him online. I had been in love with my idea of him. with the exception of knowing a bit of his background, I had to get to know him all over again. I believe you never truly know someone until you've lived with him/her. I was lucky.

Aside from the moron before me who would rather eat a pound of butter then engage in an intelligent conversation, yes, I do think that it's very possible to find your soul mate over the internet.
I'm not saying it's easy, in fact, it's why almost all internet relationships fail, it's because they are really hard to maintain. I met my one and only on the internet. Since we were both adults it wasn't that difficult for us to meet in person. We decided that the only for the relationship was going to last was if one of us moved. So, I decided to Move from my home state of California to my new home with her, here in Virginia.
Though the internet isn't going to be the way to maintain the relationship, it is a real way to meet a person, if you're willing to make the effort and be safe about it. It takes a lot more work then any other way, but it's not impossible.

I know two people with different outcomes from an online relationship. One is a friend of my Grandmothers who met her new husband of a few years through an online dating service. Pretty much was a match in heaven, and they are both very happy.
Another is a friend who had gotten close enough to someone on the net and decided to meet. They met, but he looked nothing like his photo, and was about 10 years older too. And then, to boot, she found out that her friend had an online relationship with him and was scheduled to meet him during the same weekend. In the end they found out that this guy had done this with over 5 other girls in the area.
Personally, online relationships scare me. I prefer in person contact, and I want to know the person I'm with. Even in dating it's hard to discover someones true self at times, because we all want to make a good impression. It's easier to decieve over the net.
And then there's this thing called hugging, kissing, and hand holding . . . kind of hard to do over the cybernetic highway. Though, I know, being friends first and lovers second is important, chemistry is something you have to discover in person.

well, at this point in time, it appears that the majority of those who have voted have said that internet love is possible but foolish, i'm afraid i have to agree with you on that one, from my own experiences, it turns out that internet relationships are hard to keep and are incredibly heart breaking cry
it's quite embarrassing, considering that i've only known him for 7 months, and i never physically met him during that time, but it didn't take much for us to fall apart.
i guess that's not real love.
but, it's not the end of the world... life does go on smile
congratulations to those who have found true love ^_^
and good luck to those still seeking for their soul mates.

i Think it depends.
i think about 99.5% of the time the people on ze internet lie about themselves., they can be older, even be a different gender. You never know.. i guess it is just you choice to take that risk or not.

I don't like the idea of an internet relationship... I mean yeah sure you see them through a web cam but what bond does that create.... A piontless one that's what... You will eventually not be able to talk to people in real life properly... And whats to say you'll ever meet this person... Real life relationships are all that people should be bothered about... I can understand people just talking over the net but you can't really consider them as real life freinds... But thats me people are different...

I use to think internet relationships were stupid but now i am in one. I knew him 1st for about a year, we were just friends but then we got together and it is love. Just because you haven't actually met someone physically doesn't mean you don't know them. We both act like ourselfs online, we don't fake a personality and now we call and text and send mail back and forth and he is coming up for the summer. I love him very much but haven't met him yet but i believe it is possible to love someone over the web

I love him very much but haven't met him yet but i believe it is possible to love someone over the web true, but there are certain things you wont know about him, like how he'd react to certain things (and vice versa) until you experience certain situations that couldnt be experienced unless you are physically together. that is just a fact. that's not to say your feelings arent real, but you really cannot know someone until you've experienced them in person. 37 years of life experience has taught me this is true.

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

I think it's possible to have a crush on someone you've met on the internet. But love is a different animal all together. You have to really know a person to truly love them. And you just can't truly know a person based on what you see on your computer. It's so easy for someone to put forward a personality that is nothing like themselves, and while there are people who get lucky and find love online it is a rare thing and can be rather dangerous. You just never know who you're really talking to and what their true motives are, and sadly enough there are not so nice people who would just get a kick out of doing some really messed up s**t to someone else. So, I think it's possible to find a soulmate on the internet, but you'll never really know that they're your soulmate untill you've seen them and gotten to know them in the real world. And this poses it's own problems, because you just can't run off and meet some person from an internet site and always expect to be returned in one piece. I suppose if you met somewhere crowded and extreamly public with a few friends and refused to go anywhere private you could safely get to know someone you met online. But I just don't think you can truely fall in love with a speech bubble on a cartoon character, or a box that pops up on your screen.
