why do interntet relationships seem so crazy?

Question

I admit, I had my first internet relationship this past year.

I have never fallen so hardly in love ever in my life, i think nearly.

why do you think it is so easy?

I mean, I felt a very deep connection to this person.

I mean , I would never want to admit this in public.

Everybody would think i was crazy.

maybe i am.

I personally think people are able to express themselve more truthfully, as ironic as this may seem to some, over the computer.

you argree or disagree?

why so?

Answer 1

cuz you cant trust the person behind it the monitor
internet relationship doesnt work

i disagree, you never know their true personality till you meet them in real life.they can say they are this and that but who knows what they really are... i would not fall for people online.

Answer 2

I think meeting on the Internet is ok. It can be used as any other occasion or tool to meet people. Some people meet on the street, via magazine adds, matrimonial services, teather, movie, via other friends, it's really doesn't matter. Some tools are suitable for certain people... shy prefer to know the person bettern before the physical meeting. Probably it was the same case for you, as you saw the personality first (even if you saw the picture of the person), you could talk without boundaries and fear and you were your true self.
However I believe keeping a relationship on the Internet for long it's not healthy. You can easily transmit and copy characteristics into the other person which are probably not there, physical contact is very important. If someone cannot pass beyond the PC screen because it's shy, he/she probably needs help.

Answer 3

Ah, luv, I don't think you can have a real relationship just on the net - it may be a starting point for some, but that's all. Until you've had the whole package, in person, you don't really know someone, and if you don't know someone, warts and all, and still feel the same way, you're not really in love with them. People tend to edit themselves more when they're writing, not speaking directly to you, I think. But good luck, if you really feel that way, and they reciprocate, just meet, then you'll know. Otherwise, live your real life and just keep this part of it for fun and fantasy
PS that last bit did not come out how I meant it, I did not mean do both, really.

Answer 4

I have been in the same situation as yourself and have been a member of a couple of dating sites and what you say is true. I was very sceptical of it but the thing with this type of dating is you both want to know the other person so you can ask as many questions as you like, for as long as you like before you meet.
There is a draw back that you have to be honest from the start and so does the other person and that is not always the case some of the women that I wrote to shall we say were less than truth full.
But like yourself had not been deeply involved with a woman for a long time and met someone on the Internet and was head over heels in love would have done anything for her but alas due to a trust issue we parted but hey crack on mate best of luck.

Answer 5

I think two people may get on very well on the internet but that doesn't necessarily mean they will still be compatible for one another should they ever decide to meet.

The only way to know for certain if two people are going to get on together like a house on fire is by spending a certain amount of time with each other in person.

Answer 6

Because people can be whoever they want over the internet. They can pretend to like something. They can pretend to look like some picture they found. They can pretend that they arent a creepy stalker. You just can never be sure. If you really want to take a chance then go ahead. Im sure not all of the people on the internet are creepy stalkers. I mean that would be stupid. =)) and I have heard of it wokring before. But I would still be careful.

Answer 7

Because when you meet in this unnatural way over the internet, it isn't entirely "real". You can represent yourself anyway you want to be and the other person can do the same. The real test is if it translates into chemistry, attraction, rapport in person. Nothing replaces that face-to-face, organic element of a relationship.

Answer 8

Agree 100%, same here & mine 'll work too. Its easy prolly cuz u dont start loving some1 as to how he/she looks for real..its just the qualities she had, the way she cares ..i simply adore my gurl <3 As some 1 has rightly said, inner beauty is more specific than outer beauty..so yeah & Im gonna set an example by marrying my Lady Love from Internet ..Whoa!!! Hell yeah, just wait & watch ;) Cheers

Answer 9

You're not crazy. I met my fiane online 5 years ago. :)

It's easy to feel a connection with someone because you're getting to know them on a completely different level. You're friends first, without the phsyical stuff being in the way. You really get to know a person (as long as they're being honest about who they say they are!).

Just be careful. There's alot of crazies out there.

Answer 10

In an internet relationship, you are only experiencing what the person wants to allow you to. They can show you their best attributes and hide the rest. Sometimes, they can work. But don't be surprised if you meet in person and the person is different than expected.

Answer 11

I'm an old git now (65) but when I was 9 I had a pen friend (long, long before the days of emails)

We wrote to each other for 10 years. We told each other every secret we had ever had - we loved each other.

Then we met - and couldn't stand each other.
Enough said?
