Internet love... what is your honest opinion?

Question

Many people look down on "internet love." I definitely do not. I have had a negative relationship on the internet before. It had its ups and downs and was definitely hard. I enjoyed it while it lasted but both my "boyfriend" and I did wrong things like lying, for example. That relationship ended and I suffered quite a lot but eventually moved on and promised myself, 'never again!' Yet, later on I met someone else... because of my previous experience I knew some things to expect; how hard it is and all of that good stuff. Well, I am in love with this man. He's shown me so many things and I have in return. I would do anything for him and you know what? Life is about taking risks...so why not try it? I mean, I'm not saying to jump at the first guy you meet online...It takes time and I don't think you should be "looking" for someone, just let it find you. Things just turn out the way they should. You also have to be aware that there are liers and cheaters but just...listen to your heart...

Answer 1

Follow your heart, but use your brain. Dont let others tell you what is the best for you. They dont know what is best for you, because they do not walk in your shoes. Love finds you when you least expect it they say. Good luck, but always make sure to protect yourself.

Answer 2

well..i think that a lot of times internet love can ba a good thing and a bad thing. sometimes the people do end up being fakes and totally lied about everything that had to do with them and their lives. but then there is other people out there that really do want to meet someone and make something of it. if you do get into a internet relationship...take things slower then you would a "normal" relatiuonship. and if you are the kind of person that does fall in love easily...take a step back first. you need to get to know the person and know that they arent fake before you fall in love with them. and the whole you shouldnt be "looking" for someone jus let it find you...i must kinda disagree. if everybody just lets it find you then there is nothing to be found cuz nobody is looking. jus take things slow and know there is a possibility of getting hurt!

Answer 3

I have never dated anyone on line but I think that perhaps if you met personally it helps other than just communicating on the net. I mean how can you truly know a person from the other side of the screen? Some people are big liars. I used to cha back when i was in gr 9 just for fun but hey if you like meeting people liek that go for it just be careful like you said and internet love or not, love can hurt.

Answer 4

Risk in love is risk. It doesn't matter if it is in 3-D or the internet. there are people out there who hunt for true relationships and others that prey upon others. The irony of online relationships is the internet is always there to kill time when you're not together so you're opening yourself up to disappointment. But in reality, it probably isn't much different than someone going out with friend instead of you for an evening and bumping into someone else.

Be cognizant of the fact there always will be an opportunity for anyone with wandering eyes who is feeling unfulfilled - internet or not.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Actually I think its a good thing in a way... its a decent screening process to weed out the riff raff or incompatiables.. it dosent replace face to face though.. you gotta DEF do that as well..

and like in the non-cyber world as well there arent any guarantees But it does make the NO GO process faster and easier IMO.. It wont tell ya if they are MR or MS right.. but it can damn sure tell ya they are MR MS wrong pretty quickly...

Now as for listining to ones HEART.. NOPE thats a stupid Idea IMO.. thats gotten more people into more trouble over the eons.. Gotta use that Brain too.. hearts Umm not so smart.. they were designed for pumping blood not thinking rationaly...

Answer 6

Take away the internet and it's the same thing..Dating is dating and falling in love is falling in love..people have found a lot of happiness and experienced some bad relationships on the internet just the same as though who never touched a computer.

Answer 7

People who listen to their heart get it hurt the most.

Internet love is possible. It's just not probable. If you really feel you need to meet, do it in a public place, preferably with people around to watch out for you. Take every precaution, as if you knew NOTHING about this person. Perhaps he is everything he says. However, you wouldn't be the first to be fooled by someone like that.

Answer 8

i have a split opinion on internet love. while it is possible to find love on the internet, its also possible to get tricked and fooled. for example, how do you know whether your online boyfriend cheats on you when he leaves the computer. i mean, he is a basically free man. to some, having an onlie relationship is just a joke, so how do you know whether or not he believes the same. just be careful and don't be naive when you get involved in an online relationship. you will never know whether truths or being told or not.

Answer 9

If you ONLY know a guy online, then you don't know him at all. On the internet a person can present themselves exactly how they want to. Internet dating only works if you take things to the next level, and to do that you have to be VERY careful cause you never really know the person until you meet them face to face.

Answer 10

My honest opinion about internet love is that I really hate it. I mean people lie about their age all the time they might say they are 15 and they are really 35. It never lasts. Real physical contact with that could lead to rape, etc. I prefer someone at least close or someone i know, my age, a year or maybe 3 years older.
