Has anyone ever actually met the love of their life on the internet?

Question

I don't believe it ever really happens. Can you prove me wrong?

Answer 1

Many claim to have met the love of their life on the internet.

The problem with that though (what pops the bubble) is that initially, they all refer to the new love of their life as the best, but later, some decide the new love of their life is the worst, and the title "love of my life" disappears.

In spite of this, the happy people who consider themselves winners are still claiming it's possible, but the losers are claiming that they (those who consider themselves winners) haven't given it enough time to really tell. So, the losers will claim they can't prove you wrong, and the winners will claim they can prove you wrong, but we know both those claims are just for the moment, and may or may not be valid at a later date. Yes, you read that right. Today's losers could become tomorrow's winners.

In love, which is like a game or a gamble, there has to be winners and losers, but sadly proof for the people who are the winners can't be provided until after death. So it's much easier for the losers to make their case, because they are alive and can easily claim failure. The dead winners can only hope someone includes a sentence about their having met on the internet in their obituary. Not likely to happen anytime soon; well, at least I don't think people have taken to doing that yet.

All of this tends to give us a negative opinion toward our chances of becoming a winner. And the internet has many con artists hoping to snare a loving person like you into their trap. You know none of those internet con artists will ever be the love of your life.

My current guess is that the odds of finding the true love of your life on the internet, as opposed to your local church or community center are about 50/50, but you have to use more care on the internet. There are a lot of con artists on the internet, but those types can frequent churches and community centers too. I think that what gives the local (as opposed to the internet) an edge is that you can see the local frequently and get a better feel for whether he might be the one for you or not. If you observe a person long enough, you'll catch him in unguarded moments. Moments when he shows his true image rather than the one he likes to project. Don't take those moments lightly. They provide very valuable messages. For example, if in a heated and unguarded moment, a man blurts out that the woman who's confronting him is just like every other dumb woman who thinks she know everything, you might want to cross that guy off your list of potentials.

So, to finally answer your question, I think it's possible that someone met the love of his/her life on the internet, but until he or she dies, and someone reveals the information in an obituary, I won't know for sure.

Hope you found my thoughts interesting, but not interesting enough for you to start scanning the obituaries for the truth about finding true love on the internet.

Answer 2

I believe so. I met a guy online in March 2005 - not a dating site but just generally chatting. We are in different parts of the world but the world can be a much smaller place with the help of the internet and low cost flights! Each time we meet for real is more special than the last but the parting gets more difficult too. He is like no other man I have ever known. My love grows more and more each day. Future times - who knows - now we are just enjoying what we have.

By the way, my brother met a girl online too. Two years later she joined him here and now four years later are enjoying the first year of their marriage.

Answer 3

Yes I did, I met the man that I am with now from the internet and he is my everything and I wouldn't do a thing that would seperate us. You just have to reliese their is a ton of losers on there and you will talk to a lot and lot of them before you will find anybody worthwhile let alone someone you will love. The love of your life could be anywhere.

Answer 4

I can't find "love of your life" in the dictionary anywhere, so I'm assuming that each person is allowed to give that title to whomever they choose. If that is the case, then my mother married a guy that she met online in a public health forum. it was for people who had lost loved ones and liked to talk about it to get it out. they met there, and have been married for 8 years. 8 years is not a lifetime, by any means, but its 8 years of being happy. i cant fault anyone for that.

Answer 5

I have known one person in my life that has met "the love of their life" online. They are now married with 3 kids and he is in the military deployed...she of course cheated but he's still the love of her life!!!
I on the other hand would say that you can find the love of your life online but you really should get to know this person before meeting them. The internet is really decieving. It can happen though.

Answer 6

Yes, I know people who have found their only true love on the Internet. I am one of them. :) How? Just believe and have faith that there is someone out there for you and that anything is possible. Talk to people. you will find some that are very different from you and some that are wonderful friends, you will find someone who will be compatible with you. Be honest with yourself of what you want, and be honest with the person you find special for you. You will also find negative people, not very nice people and people who are just looking for not meaningful relationships... say NO, don't waste your time, love is waiting for you, I know! Good luck!!! Believe and have faith!

Answer 7

Well may be yes.. may be no..

Why do people leave their pals and start looking for friends online? Answer is, because they dont have many friends or no friends at all! So they look for people around. Many just do it for time paas and ofcourse, many to learn other people culture.. many do it to connect it to similar-minded or interest community.. lists is enormous..

while doing any of these activities.. if u find someone really attractive.. you may surely found THE one of your life.. sounds strange because apparently "good" guys / girls find little time to do any of the above.. and others arent eye-catching..

may be you just felt little bored for you couldnt find someone THE one.. but dont be down.. good luck :)

Answer 8

I did. We were together, every day, for six years but never met in the real world. He died about four years ago. A really extraordinary man who expressed himself so deeply in words that it was impossible not to fall in love with him. He was, without doubt, the love of my life and my life was totally enriched for him being in it. His legacy lives on!

Answer 9

Yes.
A former Jewish-Russian dude.
He wrote some search program. He had put it on the interent. Soon, he met with the ONE he was waiting for his whole life.
ONE Billion of dollars.
His name is Sergey something. program name was Boogle or Googly, or something. That`s in Russian. Or Jewish, I`m not sure.
Smart kid.
I heard that they got married. And as happening in most marriages, his loved one got, you know, a little bigger since.
Cheers and Mazal Tov!
