I never really thought it was possible. There are so many things that you cannot know from just talking with someone online but I've had other people tell me that those things don't matter when you truly care for that person. My mother met her husband online and I've had several friends who've had relationships that began online but I'm still skeptical. I'm also very good friends with someone that I think I've begun to care a little more deeply for and I feel like an idiot because I never believed in it before.

So guys/gals- What are your thoughts on this?

 

YES !

 

no way
it will only be a crush you could say.
You've never met in real life and you only see the persons online personality so how can you?????/

 

Totally possible hunni, if the magic is there then the magic is there, not much different than meeting someone in the pub, you just have to be completely honest about what you look like and the other little things that you cannot work out unless you are in the same room, but falling in love on line is possible, so get ya boots on and kick the door open and go for it, you could be pleasantly surprised.

 

Personally, I think it is possible...but I'd probably be unwilling to act on it until I had met the person in the flesh. Because there would always be that grain of doubt in my mind.

So just go for it, sweetie, and when you feel the time is right, get together in person and see if it's the real thing.

 

That's the question AdamMe. I'm with you but I still I keep thinking my feelings are a little deeper than that. I'm so confused.

 

Thank you my dear. I absolutely think meeting is the next step but I'm a little worried we'll get along as well in person, too. If it works out that way, we'll never be able to just let it go but if we met and it were just so-so, that would suck!

 

I think sometimes....depending on WHERE online you met the person....people are more honest online, especially when there is no intent to build something deeper.

What I'm saying is this...I've several friends online who know me better than anyone that I know in person because I have been overly honest with them. So I can understand why so many online romances are successful.

 

Exactly so. You can be much freer about your innermost secrets online...and your relationship can reach considerable depth as a result. That can be very intense.

 

Life is a risk. If you met me in a bar one evening and enjoyed my company and arranged a second date would the same feelings be there, would you worry that the second date would be different, treat it like an adventure and have a little fun.

 

As long as the two of you are honest with each other, you shouldn't doubt it. Exchange pictures and talk on the phone even if you have to get a disposable phone until you feel more secure. If you decide to get together make sure its in a place you are comfortable and someone knows where you are. Life is way too short not to take chances on someone who makes you feel good especially about yourself.

 

So hunni what do you want to know about me, ask me anything and I will give you one of two answers, the absolute truth or a gentle request to mind your own business.

 

Yes it can happen....I have met the love of my life on line. Go for it.

 

i really dont think so, maybe lust, but definately not love.

 

Thanks for your feedback everyone!

I was trying to ask this as a general question but I guess there's no point in disguising what brings the topic to my mind.

And he and I have been friends for months. We've talked on the phone and seem to spend several nights a week just talking via Skype so there's no mystery about appearances.

 

If we're talking about meeting someone online and falling in love before physically meeting I have to say no, at least for my self. I think most people are actually more in love with the idea of being in love that they drive themselves to think that what they have is in fact true love, but really it's all just infatuation.

 

but christina that is still out of the question whether ur in love or not even thru skype if it may be.

Because in real person many people if not all are different and within mmonths you can tell if you 'reaally' are compatible or if you 'reaally' think ur in love with him.

 

Well...I'm kind of a different case, in that I'm not really LOOKING for such an intense relationship.

 

I'm not arguing with ya! lol I completely agree but I'm getting an odd twinge that I'm unfamiliar with. I have no idea what it means and I'm not the lovey type so I'd be more likely to call it heartburn than anything else.

But still, I figure it's worth getting everyone's opinion on.

 

my dom and i met online and it wasnt like he was looking for a relationship but we talked for months and really hit it off and met and all those thoughts that were already forming just really came to fruition when we met so go for it the worst that could happen is u find its just a crush and the best is its real do ya really wanna keep going not knowing if u do feel things?
