Say, If you fall for someone through the internet, ...?

Question

If you've fallen for someone through the internet, but chances are,...you guys are really far and the odds of meeting is almost impossible for now. To me, I have chosen to let go.......which, obviously is self-torturing...what do you do?

This question is intend for someone who has the same experience, and any dimwit trying to laugh at this, word of advise..." what goes around, comes around", so get lost if you're not helping.

Answer 1

Just remember that people aren't always what they seem to be. No matter how much you talk to someone on the Internet, it's not the same as actually "being" with someone. In your case, I think you've done the sensible thing of letting go, since it's not likely that you'll get to meet this person. All I can suggest is that you try to find someone closer to home. I know it sounds cliche, but time really does help make it easier. Be patient, and don't sit home or spend too much time on the computer. Good luck!

Answer 2

I met my boyfriend on the net and we just celebrated our 3 year anniversary, it worked because we were completely honest with each other from the first time we chatted. We chatted on line almost everyday and then eventually over the phone for around 6 months before we met When i met him the first time i brought 3 girlfriend's along and he brought some of his friends because although my heart trusted him, my head was cautious, you hear so many stories about things going bad. Although you feel it is impossible to meet him now don't give up on it or suggest you just be friends because he could be right for you, but remember when you meet him there has to be a physical attraction too.

As for the person who answered first, "don't fall for strangers", well are all strangers when we meet anyone, even in person, unless you date your family.

Answer 3

Date someone in the real world, even if you were to go meet him, no matter how much you think you're attracted to him from online - meeting him in person is an entirely different story. The internet is a great tool for meeting people locally, but limit the travel distance to 100 miles for meeting people.

Answer 4

meeting on the internet is either hit or miss, I met my wife on the internet. Weve been together for 4 years and have a son. But then again we werent really that far from each other. only like 40 min. I would say try it out, if it doesnt work, oh well at least you tried and you wont be wondering "what it?"

Answer 5

I met my husband online, which doesn't help you cause we lived 1/2 hour apart turns out. But why would you start with someone so far away, just incase something came of it? I know it must be hard to let go, but if either of you can't move, you have no choice, remain friends.

Answer 6

I met my husband online, and he was living 3000 miles away and we made it work and it is best thing that has happened to us. I kept with it obviously and I made the time and the money to visit and he did the same and the rest is a very good history:)

Answer 7

you never know, if the guy feels the same about you. then you guys can build up a semi relationship by talking on the phone and then eventually meeting, having him fly to you or visa versa. there have been MANY stories of one person moving to be near the other. keep the faith, and be careful.

Answer 8

My fiance and I met on the internet and we have been together since the day we met in person almost 3 years ago.

Answer 9

I do not believe in internet dating. I think they may be someone crazy. If you may not meet him, then dont date him through internet. Just ask him if you can be friends. Dont fall for a stranger.

Answer 10

I think it's normal to fall for someone in the Internet, especially if he/she is a good writer or witty. Please do try to limit yourself to friendship. He/she might only wants to have a good pal. If you think you really wanted to meet why not, plan it.
