certainly online dating works. we only hear of the nightmares instead of the success stories which deter many people from the internet and put ideas in their head that there are no good people to meet. i think online dating is wonderful because it gives you the opportunity to explore so many people and cultures rather than just the people in your city. Though you can meet jerks over the net just like in person. You just have to be careful of deception online but shouldn't you be the same way with a person you met physically? The same values you hold for physical dating should be applied with online dating such as standards and safety. Me personally i have met some good people online and yes some have been jerks. I don't like to limit myself to only the men in my community. I am now with a gentleman that i met over the net and so far, all is good except for little things which i think any typical couple would experience. The attraction was almost instant and we fell in love so fast. Though i am always cautious of my feelings. We'll see where it goes.......

I don't think on line love is even realistic. But at the same time you are getting to know the person and not their looks. So I think you can say in that aspect yes. In the aspect of not knowing one another personally though, how do you know the person is who they say they are? For all you know they are some psycho with mental problems pretending to be someone they are not.
I think the idea is just that an idea. I don't know that I would be able to trust someone I can't see, touch or otherwise. They could be a pedophile, a criminal, a liar, married, all sorts of things.
I don't think good could ever really come of a situation like that. We are one person on here, and another in real life weather we intend to be that way or not.

I know of two people who have met on-line and have gotten married. One is a guy I went to high school with. He met his wife on-line and they are married now and have a family together!!!!! The next is my cousin he met his wife on-line also. Now all four of them tell me that if they had it to do all over again They would in a minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They also say each one was more comfortable and relaxed talking to the other, and that when they each met for the first time there was no tension there it was like they had known each other for years and had finally found their soul mate.

I think that it is totally possible. My mom met a guy online, and now they are married. I'm not sure about purely online love, because you never know if they are who they say you are. I think you can talk to someone, get to know them, meet them, then decide for yourself. Whatever you do...be careful. It's always risky to meet someone from the internet. Always meet them in a public place.

Well I had one a while ago, it was going well, and could have lasted for a while, but the fact that I could like never see her, cuz she in NY and I'm OH, it got to me and I called it off. So they can work depending on things like distance, age, money, and some other stuff.

My idea of online love is that there is always a possibility of meeting "the one". Yes, my older sister got married from someone whom she met over the internat. Yes, because I have social-anxiety-disorder and it's much easier for me to communicate.

from what the creators of match.com and eharmony.com it can and does work but I do not think so unless you get to know the person off line before things get serious. How can you get to know how a person really acts if all you can see is letters on a screen? I think you need to experience a perons emotions, reactions etc.. day to day where you can see them.

i met my fiance online, it was weird, we fell in love almost instantly, its like we were two people cut from the same cloth then flung to seperate ends of the earth, we finally found each other. Its super duper sappy and stupid I know, but he is like coming home, and has been everyday since i met him
