How do you tell someone you love them online.?

Question

How do you really think a person should go about confessing there love and admiration to someone on the internet without making them feel like you're a freakin' stalker or somthing?
Cause I've never in my life felt this way in my 19 years of life! My emotions up until this point have been pretty much like a block of ice, very cold.
I actually sent an E-mail to this person letting him deeply know how I feel about him and I would'nt have done that if I did'nt know he would understand. He responded but I feel even as smart as he is, he did'nt grasp what i was really feeling so I responded back again, and again and I since have'nt gotten a reply.
Now what I know of him, he's a very busy person and might not have been able to get a chance to reply, but there is another part of me in dout thinking that he might just be ignoring me. It's killing me cause it's out of my character to be or feel this way and do the things I vowed I would never do like showing my emotions. What do you think?

Answer 1

Well, by looking at the answers you can clearly guess which of them are the older folks answering. Most of us in our early 20's know that you can have an online relationship and it can work. The older generation just doesnt get it and they never will. When your online with this person, do you at least talk with cams or something to see if he is who he says he is?

When you said you loved him, it could of scared him. So he could be thinking it over seeing if he feels the same way. You said he is a very busy person perhaps he is just very busy. I wouldnt press it as it might come off as you want it to badly or stalker as you said. As tough as it is stand back and wait for him.


You can have a real long distance relationship and tell someone over the internet you love them. I know people won't believe this but statistically relationships, that start on the internet and end up in marriage almost double the number of the quote "real" relationships. Only difference is a online/long distance relationship takes a hugh amount of blind trust.

Well, if you proclaim your love to someone online that you never have met, you will come across as a stalker pretty much. Online relationships are almost fantasy-like. You can put your best foot forward without having to reveal all of your demons. If you know him in real life, it is best to tell him these things in person.

If this is a purely internet relationship, it is best to arrange a meeting and see if your expectations are fulfilled about this individual. You are young and for you to profess your love to a person online that you have never met comes across as unrealistic. In fact, you may scare-off the object of your desire.

Love is a all encompassing. True love means loving the whole individual even their misgivings. You should meet this person and if you like him enough, the real him, by all means date him if he recipricates.

I'm sure he got your point in the email but he probably does not know how to react to this. He could be bewildered, scared, or maybe feels something close to what you feel from the contents of your email.

Wait for his reply a bit, if two weeks goes by and that is the longest you went without getting a reply from him-write him back. Tell him that you didn't mean to come across as strange but that you feel a strong connection and hope that he feels that too. Tell him you would like to arrange a meeting to get to know the real him some where you can meet up in a public place. Keep it casual. I strongly suggest you follow up with a less intensive email. There is always the possiblity that he doesn't feel the same or he is just unsure about the whole online relationship.

A long distance between the two of you can complicate the whole relationship but try to meet up with him! Remember, an online relationship is not the same as seeing a person in real life. Keep your expectations lower so you don't get caught up in your emotions. If possible, try to stay away from constantly checking your emails and focus your time on other things while you wait for his reply.

OK, first of all, I think it's real nice that you and Hannah are so close. And it's good that you both are concerned about your parents. Sounds like both of you have good parents who care about you. And I'm so glad to hear a teen say that they don't want to sneak behind their parents' backs to see each other. So you are off to a good start. I don't think you need to tell your folks the two of you are "in love." Those words scare parents. And besides, you love everything about Hannah, but you can't know if the two of you can really be a couple until you start spending time together. What you need to do now is make both sets of parents feel comfortable about the two of you spending time together. Your parents have to be on board about these trips between Rhode Island and Oklahoma. My suggestion is to make this unusual situation seem as normal as possible. You need to meet each other's parents through Skype or WLM. Your folks will then begin to realize that this relationship is "special." Then maybe a couple of weeks later the parents can meet each other on Skype. This might be kind of corny, but if you want to get to see each other, and you want the parents to not have problems, they at least need an opportunity to eyeball each other. Share pictures of your families with your parents. Then tell them you'd like to meet Hannah in person. You can work it out with the parents on how to make that happen. Believe me, things will be so much easier for you if you have the parents on board, especially since you both are underage and probably want your parents to help pay for college. LOL

Answer 4

You tell someone you love them in person -- not in an email or online. If you can't tell them face to face, then you can't be in love with them! If it is just someone you know only through on-line, then you REALLY can't love them. It could be a 300 lb. prisoner you are communicating with.

Answer 5

U really shouldnt do the online thing its kinda pointless and not meaningful. We are all humans and it is a proven fact that we feel empathy when we look into ppls eyes, so telling someone in person that u love them is a lot more meaningful. making eye contact and wat not would be the best thing. just dont stick to the online thing cuz its kinda pointless. when ur in person u can have ur tone of voice that wud tell that person u really do care.u could do all sorts of thing that would make that person know u do love them. just dont do it

Answer 6

I am going to assume that you have never met this person in person. That said...You NEVER had a real relationship. It is very easy to get carried away emotionally online when you do not have to look at a person face to face. If you can meet this person face to face, take a friend and do it. Start a real relationship.

Answer 7

I've been in the exact same position as you are in. You just need to wait it out, and don't listen to others... especially ones who don't know the entire situation. You can tell and tell a story, but only you will ever know all the details. I don't think that he would have just run away, just from what you say, he seems better than that. So wait it out, stop e-mailing, wait for him to come to you. Only you will know what to do, and you will know when to do it!

Answer 8

Sorry, but i think he got "it" and went running. Do you only speak to this person on-line? If you see the person in real life and he doesn't mention it then he probably doesn't feel the same and wants to ignore what you have told him to keep your friendship the same. If you only speak to this person on-line, do not be surprised if you never hear from him again. Sorry I know it sucks.

Answer 9

You`re in love with a dream of your own making. Wake up.

Answer 10

well it depends on if he is married or not? is he gettin married? you just have to think about curtain stuff. but honestly i told a guy online that i love him but he lives in the same town as me.
