I have friends who tell me that they've been talking to so and so all the time on the net. They've never met but they act like they're in love. I just don't see how this could happen. I know a few families who were broke up because of an online romance, and then the online romance didn't last a year after the family split up. Can it be true that sometimes you could meet an online friend that really becomes your best friend (no sex talk) and that it could really lead to an actual true romance? I hate being such a cynic but in todays world, it just seems right to be cynicall. I am 45, married to a man for nearly 31 years (yes, i got married when i was 14). Our children are grown. We rarely talk. We have seperate interests, and we haven't had sex in nearly a year. We sleep in seperate rooms. I like my husband, I even love him, in a brotherly or fatherly kind of way. I mean, he taught me to drive, and signed for me to get my licence. Where do you find true love at my age???

There's a reason that you're not supposed to get married before 18.. You are an example of this. You never had a chance to grow and learn who you were before you were forced to share your life. You certainly had no idea what you wanted in a relationship at 14. Hell, I didn't know at 25. I didn't marry till 30.
I'm real skeptical about love over the internet. However it is a great way to find others looking for a companion or mate. After the find, physical presence with each other is essential to really know the person. Chemistry is real and it doesn't happen on-line.

Yes, but you do have to remember that there are dangers to this online romance thing. You don't know who's on the other side of the monitor.
I can tell you that there are some people who actually have happy endings though. I met my husband 8 years ago online, by accident in an online forum. We started out as friends. Didn't meet until 3 years later, and then realized we liked each other more than friends. We didn't rush into marriage though, but still even after that long time we're glad we took our time.

My friend met a guy on-line 2 years ago, and they talked a bit, and she introduced me to him this January, we met in person briefly once, (he only lives a few hours away and came up for her birthday) and after that we talked on line every day. it was very casual we were both only interested in friendship, he was trying to patch things up with his ex, then trying to get over her and i was dealing with issues of my own. I had my heart broken and then discovered my mom had cancer. We both helped each other out. I was with my parents for my mothers last 2 months and all my friends seemed to disappear from the raydar, they didn't call me or e-mail me because they didn't know what to say. but he made sure to talk to me every single day either by on-line chat or phone. we both developed feelings for each other but we didn't say anything about it until I came back home and we were able to meet up and hang out. after a few weekend visits we started dating officially, I never thought someone would love me so truly and unconditionally. I don't know if we will be together forever. but he has shown me what love is, and i know our friendship will last a life time. So I say the answer to your question is yes.

people can fall in love just by talking everyday on the internet to that same person. I know because I have. I met a guy and talk to him everyday and just seeing his name on my emails just sends goose bumps all over me. It can happen. You are never to old for romance. Trust me.

why not? There is no definition for love. Your definition is different than someone elses, perhaps your husband thinks love as something else. What is true love? Why do you seek it? Signing for a license in my book is hardly love. You loving your husband as if you were his father is a sick statement if I ever heard one.

On line romances are doomed to failure but they happen.
They are void of the physical, non-verbal stuff.
It's just text...with a favorable picture.
The ricipient adds his or her own bodily cues and interpretations
...most people are falling in love with their fantasy person come to life.
Then they meet and they get the real deal.
Usually - HUGELY dissappointing.

Honey I don't think it is wise to get involved with anyone on line. You don't know who or what you might get yourself into. There are a lot of wierd people out there. It is o.k. to get on a chatsite, but don't get involved if you don't know the person you are on line with. You don't know what you might be getting yourself into. You could be chatting with a rapist or someone that will hurt you.
