internet love

On the original topic of internet relationships. Nine years and going strong. Like to consider ourselves internet love pioneers.Can work, does work, still works.

 

Glad to hear it!

For me, the best relationship I've had is my current one... and I lured him in on pof about 3mos ago. We have similar senses of humor - and compatible libidos... as well as a host of other items on common ground. I don't want to say HEY - SUCCESS STORY after only 3 mos... but things are going really well. It's easy and comfortable together. No drama. Can you imagine? LOL

I tried the internet as most of my friends are married ,a few offered me their husbands, but I know the warranty has been run out ; dated a guy from work once - am really glad he'd changed companies before "the breakup" - holy cow that would have been awkward - I had to block him from my phone and FB; and I live in a small town- I know why most of the single guys my age are single - some of them are already my x's. (hahaha!/jk/sorta).

The thing I noticed with internet dating was that it was good to meet, somewhere public and neutral, right away. Otherwise, you build up this expectation and if you don't "click", either party, there is disappointment. Better to meet soon and see if there is chemistry. I also preferred coffee/drink to dinner... less pressure and easier to escape after an hour than to try to make an evening of it. Sorry - if there's no attraction, there's just no attraction.

It would be hard. Now that I'm in a relationship, I find internet communication far less satisfying than I thought I'd find it. Honestly, I thought I'd be more or less okay with just seeing a boyfriend once or twice a week. But it's hard, so I can't even imagine having a real relationship with even greater distance and more reliance on the internet. And we only live an hour apart, so I don't think it's really a long-distance relationship, but obviously we can't see each other everyday at the moment, and it's hard enough as it is. That's just me though. I'm sure there are plenty of people who can do long-distance relationships.

 

For some reason interent dating has never worked for me. I do not really know why. I have been on lots of interent dating sites and they have all been rubbish for me. A few years ago I had someone help me with internet dating and she joined me to a few sites and that did not work. I hate internet dating. Every now and then you hear of someone that gets lucky and meets someone from internet datinng. I have been stood up a few times by a few different people I have met on interent dating and I even drove over an hour to meet up with someone from an internet dating site and we had chatted on the phone before hand and it was her idea to meet up not mine and and she met me for 5 mins then made an excuce and left. Thats life there is no reaally easy way to meet Miss Right what works for some people may not work for others. It just seems that in this day and age that lots of young late 20's and 30 somethings do not want to get tied down or settle down till later on in life.

 

I don't know about a "relationship".

But meaningless sex... Oh, there's boatloads.. :biker:

 

I dont know if this has been covered , this thread is 17 pages and over 3 years old. On inter net love , a few years I got in the cyber sex chat rooms . I had cyber with some one that got kicked by a moderator for gender faking . This kind of ruined me for this kind of thing. You do hear of people , men and women , that got robed , raped , or killed by some one they met on line . desert rat

 

Where u have two ppl loving each other they met by chat or some BS like that and they talk to each other by phone or msn, but never really met face to face...:love:

 

I believe in love....
and it is blind...so whatever the way or the situation u got to know the one....it will just get to u.

 

I never thought i would start an internet relationship....
I've always told myself that long distance relationships is a big no-no....

Until i met someone on here... and i slowly began to like him..
Hes something wonderful and we haven't even met yet but we are soon...
We have been talking for some months but it feels like forever..
I get good morning messages and nightly phone calls and i look forward to talking to him everyday... I miss him so much when we don't talk and i love hearing his voice...

Hes funny, charming, hot, sensitive, talented, smart... just everything..
Its hard sometimes. Theres nothing i want more than to be in his arms and to see him everyday... cook and bake him yummies... make him happy...

Sometimes its rocky we are two different people and we grew up completly different..
With way different opinions.... sometimes he makes me just want to kick him or something but at the end of the day i still look forward to him....
On bad days he lights my day up... when im sad i wish he could be here to hold me and tell me everything is going to be alright.....

we both connect so well....
I guess time will tell what happens next..

 

I've met some cool people online but i feel like you can't genuinely know someone until you meet them in person. Some people are shady in the things they say and stuff...idk. then again ive never been in love to begin with! lol

 

Love can happen anywhere, anytime, any age.

 

yes this is true in a way, but i don't know...
We talk and we talk and i feel like i have known him all my life...
And we only met but some months ago... I think that this is a rare occurance me and this guy... cause we connect so well.... and we tell eachother bout our families, lives, when we were kids... you have to have trust and i would suggest telephone time, and webcam time whenever you are going to meet someone online because you never know who is on the other side of that computer..

and i agree with TFTD.. the internet is just another source of communication.

 

Just make sure these feelings are real so you won't get hurt. A lot of the time we want love so bad that we think we are in that state but in fact thats not whats happening at all.

 

I believe it happens yes and it can last if both parties try to make it work. Anything is a possibility. Ihad relationships over the net but they cut it off strickly cause it might have not been what they wanted but it does happen.

 

Sounds like my hubby and I when we started talking online

 

God I Hope Your Right, I'm Starting To Run Out Of Time Here...:wheelchair:



Cheers Glen.

 

I met my ex online.....

Note, I said EX...

 

Everytime I see this thread, this song flashes in my head for a second and I lol a little bit.
