Love is complicated no matter where you’re at. But like Havocholli learned, it’s how you deal with it when it shows up.
When you’re up to your nose, keep your mouth shut.
May 1, 2002 at 11:09 pm #69640Mr. DiablosMemberright. notice that online stalker thing always happens to new yorkers? I’m from new jersey, and the girl i met is from florida. if she thinks i’m a stalker, than fat chance she’ll send the cops on me.
@ rustedtight:
ooh, you’re a girl? sorry for being rude, but i didn’t know.
August 20, 2002 at 2:09 pm #69624Jeff HesterKeymasterI have many friends who met their loves online. And I know of many who have also had horrible experiences. Such as the person lying about what sex they are. A male pretending be a female and a female pretending to be male.
I met my love online. And we are still testing the waters before the complete step is made. We didn’t rush into this either. As there is an ocean between us. We have had 6 trips between us and are now living together. We have been dating through the internet for 2 years plus. I think taking the time is the best thing. I know too many who have horror stories even after meeting them. like a friend of mine met a girl got married and 2 weeks later divorced. Why? Because they didn’t date enough online and real life. She said he wasn’t what he thought he was. Note THOUGHT. When you date someone online its mostly thoughts not the real thing. much like the holodeck.
“Guian to Geordi :
You saw exactly what you wanted to see on the holodeck. Sure the computer made it look like her gave it a personality.. But when it came to the relationship Laforge you filled in the blanks. And you had a perfectly, wonderful marvellous little fantasy, until the real Leia showed up and ruined it. And she’s probably done the most horrific thing one person can do to another… not live up to your exceptions. So I’d take a good long hard look at her LaForge, see her for who she is and not for who you want her to be.”
See the underline meaning?
Also women tend to think men can read our minds. Trust me they can’t. Nor can anyone else. Yes they can read looks but not all looks mean the same thing. We really need to be realistic when it comes to dating.
There is NO perfect person for anyone because NO ONE is perfect. Also take into account that there over a billion people on this planet. To find ONE person that fits us would be nearly impossible and would be very pointless even to try. I have read many Christian books upon this very issue. There will always be things about another person we don’t like. There are things about ourselves we don’t like as well. If you expect a perfect mate you will never be happy and for that I am terribly sorry. I remember when I was young and thought that way as well. But doing enough research I saw the way it really truly is. Everyone changes and even tastes do over time as well. So when you pick someone don’t expect them to change to your liking… Expect them to change and love them anyway. The largest excuse of divorce is, I expected them to change when I married them, just not the way they changed. Example, he’s always leaving dirty clothes on the floor… when we marry I hope he using the hamper. Stupid things like that, which there are many everyone has and does. Just keep repeating over an over again when your in love, No one is perfect.

August 21, 2002 at 9:36 am #69643MerryOneMemberI have met a few people from the net. One even moved interstate to be with me. I thought i loved him and vice versa. But it all went to hell, as he turned out to be an alcoholic and a woman basher. Yes i found out the hard way and found it hard to trust again after that. Eventually i myself moved away, to another country even for 6 months. Then found i missed home too much so returned. I did not set out to meet anyone new, just concentrated on sorting out my life. But, nevertheless, a few months later, someone comes into my regular chatroom and we start to chat and gradually become friends. After about 2 weeks, he asks me out. I think, ok last chance. So i take up the offer. He comes to pick me up, and i tell you, first time i look at him,my heart jumps and i take a sharp breath. I felt so at ease with him. At the end of the night, we kiss and say goodnight, and never such a good night have i had till then. From then on, every spare day we have, we spend together. I have been myself all this time, both online and off, as has he. Why be anything else? It is you that interests them, not someone you arent. 🙂 Be true to yourself, so you can be true to others. Would you want someone to lie to you?

August 21, 2002 at 7:11 pm #69634LADYJMemberI have met many wonderful people on the internet
and formed some very loving relationships
people tell me that the feelings are not real
that is not true, I love my friends, and I know my love is very real,
after all there are real people behind the words that are written here on the screen.Its nice to know there is someone out there in this world that cares, and with the internet, there is no reason to be alone……LadyJ

July 16, 2003 at 8:55 pm #69645sweet_teen_chickMemberOk this is from personal experienece when you meet guys online and hook it can either be a good thing or a bad thing. One thing is once you get to know the person and you feel comfortable with them dont lie. Actually I had more but I am totally busy so maybe I’ll post it some other day. Yeah and another thing is you cant trust most people online, I know for a fact cause everyone lies!!!!
October 10, 2003 at 2:50 am #69647WolfriderMemberI’ve got some personal experience with the subject (not getting into it but it’s going well) and figure you might as well go for it if you feel something. Granted meeting each other as soon as possible (and with being comfortable) is ideal, but plenty of people have made it work online.
I try to be as sincere as possible with who I am over the net. It’s foolish to try to be someone else, because as in real life (why do we always use “real life” to distinguish from our cyberlives? it’s still real) being insincere is just going to blow up in your face.
April 12, 2004 at 2:43 am #69649IMQueenMemberI met a guy online. He’s sweet. We have the benefit of F2F chats with our webcams.

Yea same here, I just think that chatting is all just fun and games. I keep my personal life out of it. Heck, who knows who’s on the other side it could be an old man personating a chick ha ha ha!
April 28, 2004 at 12:38 am #69648IMQueenMemberI think online love is the most wonderful thing. My man and I will get together someday.
April 28, 2004 at 12:50 am #69644BrianMemberI was involved with several Internet relationships but now I no longer do that. I learned the hard way, and never again! If people want to be involved with Internet relationships, I am happy for them!

I don’t think I have ever had one, but I have fallen for personalities that I speak with. It can be a bad thing as some live on the other side of the world, but like others have said. Most people use the Internet as a game, not a 1900 number. It’s hard to determine what’s real, and what’s not with minimal knowledge of what’s on the other end.
