I find this interesting. That you can know someone through the web and feel close to them and feel love for them, without ever even seeing a picture of them or hearing their voice. Printed language alone conveys much of what a person is. .
I think there is a lot to be said for it. When you can feel so strongly for someone, based solely on their thoughts and personality, as opposed to physical attraction, implies a more genuine emotional connection. The first time you're with them, physically, will be that much more special, due to the connection you already share.
I love lotsa online peeps. In a way, being this separated from people but being able to find a connection, is what led me to truly connecting with people in my offline life.
I have issues with eye contact, so in some ways I think it is easier for me to find an emotional connection over the net. Another thing is, the majority of girls where I live are so narrow-minded and obnoxious, even my girlfriend! So meeting people over the net is another way to find people who you would never have met otherwise. I like it
I honestly care about many people I interact with on the net and not just in type. I sometimes read something and it just clicks as to why something else is going on or why they feel a certain way. That is a connectivity. If I read something is wrong I feel for them as I would for friends in real time. I do feel connected to many of the people I post with.
Something's kept me here for 10 years or so. I wish our west coast meet up would've happened a couple of years ago. Turned out to be a scam.
i too have feelings directed online but its not love....more of a lusty interest....and i gotta say she wouldnt look twice at me in RL[she will lie and deny this]... out of my league if you know what i mean....BUT....because she read my posts and thoughts before meeting me I now have a shot at flying her in and bangin her brains out.....lol
I don't really think internet relationships work at all. Then again, I've never met any of you people, and with each passing day I'm less interested in doing so. Edit: Some years ago, I invested more emotion into a couple online acquantainces I had made here. But, I think I was projecting. Or, barking at trees.
I know the feeling. The best part if meeting them after two years of IMing them and going on webcam with them every night...And then seeing that they're even better in real life! But then they don't like you back and you try to kiss them and they turn away. Seriously dawgs. What the fuck?
