How many members here have found a long term relationship or a life partner from the forums, who you actually met and really hit it off? Did it last and was it fulfilling. Are you still together? I am curious.
i personally will not meet anyone from online. if i happen to run into them one day then that is one thing, but i've learned you can't be sure a person is who they say they are.
I LOVE YOU DIDJERIGIRL! ... oh you're just like a cannabis flower to me... i've met her just a month ago and now i love her and she said that she loves me and i'm glad to tell you this
Just signed up but don't think i will, i don't dig the whole online dating thing, i rather see her first then get to know her...the other way around just doesn't work for me. If there isn't any physical attraction then there won't be any emotional or personal kind of attraction either.
man... it's fuckin' weird to look for a love through internet... i prefer eye-2-eye contact when meeting people... i don't mean it's bad... but i choose real life instead.
Well the internet is a means to meet new people and turn it into reality. Like bars. It's actually better, with the internet you can "screen" or "interview" or (yuck) pre-approve potential suiters. :-D And to get to know eachother to see if there's any chemistry or potential.
AND I LOVE DREAMINGWIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're my looooove!!!!!!!! i'll always be your little hemp flower...! thanks to hipforums... now i know him... and i'm so happy...
i don't deny that virtual relationships have their advantages,... it goes forging an aceptic relationship, "almost" perfect, among cybers... as a triangular equilateral one, almost like an arithmetic operation! in cybernetic life, there are no smells neither bad breaths! no expressions of inconvenience or disagreement, no hands nervously shaken, no distant looks of desconcentration for distresses, unfulfilled expectations or unsolved problems ... no much clear differences of personality. we refuse to speak with strangers. when our small children are found in a park, they play freely, while we, the parents, captive by our cynicism and fear to commit some error, to speak not more than it owed, because who knows who's ahead, perhaps a lunatic, a murderer, a delinquent, a psychopath..., then, to discover that the true psychopaths we are. and those same children say good-bye with faces of disillusionment and confusion, because already is late, because we should go out, and wave him good-bye, and, of course, strictly between ourselves the "adults" the slightest forced smile and good-bye. in real life we commit more errors, make mistakes a little more, we are more imperfect... but that's what makes life interesting... so let's make more friends, and lose that panic to relate us as human beings. if there is a risk, time will tell, but it seems to me that, by our own dignity and by our own happiness, that risk well is worthwhile.
