how to find true love on the internet?

Answer 1

i found love and pain later because we didnt give it a chance......i never pursuit anything and i suggest you the same. if you find someone ok, if not then leave it. i never wanted something like that, it was pure luck to meet my other half here. most people will say that it is impossible, i lived it and i say that never say never..

Answer 2

Even setting aside any discussion of the abstract prerequisites that the question implies (e.g. "does true love exist?"), there is still no simple, straightforward answer to this question. But I'll offer what advice I can.

It used to be that the primary advantage of the Internet was that it was easy to find people with interests like your own. All you had to do was find a mailing list on a subject you were interested in, whether it be knitting, computers, or Elvis impersonation. That option still exists, but the Internet has gotten a lot better about actively thinking about what you might like. Social networking tools still lack a lot of polish (I think MySpace is tackiness incarnate) but they are helpful in finding people with whom you share interests, temperament, and geography.

But the 'Net is a big, and often unfriendly place. You need a battle plan going in. First, decide what you're looking for. True love, you say. But be specific. How willing are you to deal with a long-distance relationship? How comfortable are you communicating online?

I would suggest keeping your search local: it's too easy to exchange e-mails and even phone calls for months on end, only to meet face to face and realize that the person is nothing like you imagined, and far more annoying than you thought possible.

Local is also an advantage if you're not comfortable with the fundamentals of typing, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Rightly or wrongly, you're judged on the Internet by your writing skills. If you're not willing to invest a fair amount of time and thought in everything you write, it will be hard for many people to take you seriously. So moving from cyberspace to meatspace as quickly as possible is to your advantage.

My advice for the literarily-impaired? Use the Internet to expand your social network. Find people who do interesting things that you can join in on. Then, if you're lucky, you'll find other people who share your interests, and some of them will probably be available.

There are also various dating services. My personal favorite is OKCupid.com. It's free! It can also be very nosy and too vulgar for some people, but I do suggest you give it a try. I've met some wonderful people there, and they have a first-rate matching system that may not guarantee that you find The Right Person, but will certainly sift out lots and lots of Wrong People.

But it's easy to make a bad impression on dating sites, and difficult to make yourself stand out in a sometimes crowded market. When you write a potential interest, be polite, funny, down-to-earth, and interested in the person as a person and not just as a hottie. In short, whatever you do, do NOT be yourself! :)

Actually, that's something I should add: if you're looking for the right person (whether on the Internet or off), there is absolutely no substitute for *being* the right person. The best way to find love is to improve the person you are. Be responsible. Be compassionate. Have good hygeine. Exercise. Learn to save your money (being a tightwad is unsexy, but being broke is way moreso). Be confident in yourself. In short, be the person you want to be, and it will suddenly become much easier to find the person you want to be with.

Answer 3

You be open and honest...don't present a persona which too many people looking for love on the WWW do. Unfortunately, I don't believe you will find it without investing in a site like eharmony.com or other for profit dating site. Just going to BB's and Free Dating sites doesn't cut it because of the levels of dishonesty in here. Go where the people have been screened first. Good Luck and Peace be with you!

Answer 5

Go to chat rooms that share your interests and be truthful about who you are. Truth and trust are the building blocks of any relationship. The Internet will allow you to find someone who is compatible with your personality without physical stereotyping. Just make sure your looking for love and not just sex.

Answer 6

Actually, i think you can. You could meet someone who likes all of the same stuff as you and then you'll be thankful for flirting over the Tinternet a.K.a. internet. So really what i would do is just ask around seeing if people like the same as you.

Answer 7

in my opinion alot of people just "play" on the internet so if they say i love you or that they are you boy/girl friend dont believe it until after you have met in person a couple of times i have a friend that met a guy on the internet and they were "in love" then after they met in person i think they hung out one time and then he wanted nothing to do with her so try going out to clubs, bars, parties, or even amusement parks or something i dont suggest the internet

Signs To Look Out For

If you are in, or are interested in being in, an online relationship, it is important to know what things to look out for so you don't get hurt -- physically or emotionally. You'll notice many people who can re-tale every horrible incident that happens in online relationships, rest assured you won't find that here. The advice you'll find below is meant for you to use as a way to help protect yourself from getting hurt. The tips are mostly common sense, but sometimes when it comes to love, it's good to have it written down for reference.

Person is too secretive.
This can be as simple as the person is insecure with letting out information about themselves, to the person being married or living with someone else.

Person is often flirting with other people online.
Just as in real life you can find "players" online. Watch how your online interest interacts with others. You'll learn more about them, as well as be able to spot any unusual interests.

Person wants too much information about you right away.
Unless you are 100% completely comfortable about this person, don't give away any personal information. Even then, it is a good idea to keep important information to yourself.

Person seems only interested in cyber or phone sex.
Unless this is something you are interested in, this relationship is probably not going very far.

After trust has been established, person will only give you a pager or cell phone number, but not a home number.
This again could just be precautionary, but again, it could indicate a cheating heart.

After enough time has developed, person is adamant about not meeting in person.
The reason for this could range from the person hiding something about their physical self, their lifestyle, other romantic involvement's, or just protecting themselves.

Person wants you to move to local area or in with them after only one or two meetings.
While my husband and I broke this rule, I strongly urge other couples to really get to know each other in person. It worked out well for me, but if follow this advice you will find yourself more confident about your choices if you really take the time to know them in person before deciding to make the big traveling step.

You find person posting other personal ads online.
An obvious heartbreak!

Person keeps e-mails from other people hidden or a secret.
Something to keep an eye out for. Any relationship that begins or is involved in secrecy has it's days numbered.

Person asks for money or other help.
You may feel comfortable with this, but it's not a good idea, especially if your just met them. Don't open yourself to a potentially huge loss.

Person won't let your mail cards or other gifts to home address.
This is also another sign of a possible romantic interest living with them. Take the extra precautions to make sure your online interest is not already involved with someone.

Every tip is dependent upon your instincts. What is good for one person may not be good for the next. Use your head, and your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, question it and resolve it quickly. You may discover it was a silly case of doubt, but you may also discover it wasn't!
