internet love

Love this, too!

I am so happy for you dude! Congrats!!

 

I just started a "relationship" with someone I met online. So far it has been my experience that every man I have met online only wants a booty call or hook-up or whatever!!.....lol
I was really hoping this new one would be different ( he turned me on to this forum!) But I'm already having my doubts!......Peace

 

I'm really skeptical when it comes to internet love but then again, I've met a few people who have made it work. I think it's just as likely to find true love online as it is anywhere. It's just the luck of the draw I guess

 

If your gunna look for love dont do it on the internet.

 

Definitely. But you reach a lot more people online.

 

true you meet more people, but you sometimes aren't sure who they really are... I, for one, act much different in person than online. I'm bolder through text. Of course once I'm comfortable I act as I would here. Either way, human contact is just different. I would never carry on an internet relationship if it weren't going to lead to meeting up in person.

 

Yeah people are totally different weather they want to think so or not. I'm actually not a dick in real life. Believe it or not. Oh, and I hardly ever swear.

 

I think we all feel a little more bold online, isn't that true? I wish I had more balls in real life!

 

lol I didn't think you were a dick, Carcass! You made me a playlist, I think you're pretty nice. lol but yeah I'm pretty sarcastic in person but I don't use it as much in text because it looks harsher than it is. I have playful humor too and it just comes out the wrong way.

MaccaByrd- don't we all! lol

 

It's the idea of (semi) anonymity that makes people a little to hugely more bold online.

I may say something online and people may misinterpret me, but I say the same thing outside of the internet, perhaps over coffee with someone, and they might actually get what I'm trying to say. But the reverse might happen, too, in certain situations.

I just think the notion of the internet's not being "real"(sometimes we hear this voiced by some people) is a bit absurd because the internet is what we as real people make it. It's a unique, digital world made up of flesh-and-blood people. It's just that there are people who take advantage of what the internet offers too much to the point where their behaviour could become rather problematic.

But like I said, it is a world that consists of real people, and it isn't uncommon for two people to find themselves romantically attarcted to each other over the net. If it works out for them, then great. If not, then what else is new really? It's just like the non-internet world that we all know so well. Some relationships work out, some don't.

 

i think they suck. its so hard to go day after day knowing theres so much difference between you and this amazing person :/

 

Difference? Listen, if you're speaking of a distance distance, distance is just another state of mind. When you're in love, that 2,000+ miles just seems so small.. sometimes when I'm talking to my sweetheart, I feel as if she's in the room with me..

And the difference between us as people? Not very many of them.. we do almost everything the same. We have the same humor styles, we both listen to *any* kind of music, she's the only person I've ever met who has the *exact* same political views as I do. I've never had anyone I've cared about this much, and I've never had anyone to care about me this much.

Trust me.. the internet makes it so much easier to find the person for you. This girl and I are perfect for each other, and we live 2,000 miles away. I probably wouldn't have met her if not for the internet. (Then again, I would have- she's my destiny, the only person I am compatible- she's truly my Anam Cara.) I can't imagine myself with anyone other than her.

Trust me.. there are no differences.


Also, I'd like to thank everyone here for listening to me on this one.. I haven't anyone to tell this to irl, they'd all judge me.. but I truly love this girl, and I know she loves me back.. thanks for listening.

 

One site: www.greensingles.com
And, its pretty close to free.

I met my fiance on there, and got to know her for about half a year, visiting and such, then we moved in together. That was two years ago this November when we first contacted each other.

With so many "fish" in the sea why not take a chance?

In peace and love

 

Possible? Yes. Ever works out? I would guess yes.

I don't see any real difference in meeting people on the net and meeting them in other ways.

 

"Internet love"?!

My idea of "internet love" would be falling in love over the internet...never meeting someone, or talking to them for a very long time over the internet and claiming that you love them...when you've never even met them.

If you're just using the internet as a way of finding a person and calling them and saying "meet me here" for a date, then that's not "internet love", that's called "social networking", in the sense that you find people online and then meet them IN PERSON. After that, you don't need the internet to interact with that person...you just interact with them normally after that. By meeting and calling/talking, etc.

 

Internet Love

I suppose it's becoming more and more widespread as the world becomes more technological. I believe it can work (I know a few people that met over the internet and eventually got married).

I think with meeting people over the internet you should just be careful to not lose your heart too fast (I'm not saying you shouldn't fall in love at all over the internet), but I'm saying that you should take it at a steady pace.

Make sure that the feelings in this relationship (both that of yours and the other person's) are genuine, otherwise you could end up getting hurt pretty badly.

If you REALLY love someone you met over the internet, I say go for it!

L_S

 

That's crazy man, I'm happy to hear that. Well happy that your happy....because to me that would just make me feel awfully lonely knowing someone so right is so far away. It's amazing who you can find something great in common with....your approach to life. Do you think one day you are going to close that 2,000 mile gap?

My questions to all are......internet love? Can you have a relationship over the internet? What does it consist of? Open communication? I would think so. I don't know though. I'm willing to find out. It hurts though knowing someone you think you love for real is so far away. Like I think that would really hurt.....especially if you're not the type that gets along well with others in much of your real life. Leave you awfully, lonely, and glued to the computer.

ON SECOND THOUGHT.....Maybe it will help take away that loneliness...Knowing there is someone for real communication...heart to heart. Even if you're not going to be on all day. Two people can look forward to that loving point in their day....right?

And love is totally luck of the draw (props to whoever said that) and that can play out anywhere.

I've always been skeptical of "internet love" though...... but... but...luck of the draw. And I'm definitely not skeptical of love.

My real question is....should I feel happy or sad? It's sooooo both. Aghh.

 

I think there's been quite a few "internet love" success stories right here on hipforums. Herbuhlovuh and I 'met' on this site about 5 years ago... we chatted online and then we started chatting on the phone all the time... we fell in complete and confident love with each other fast and before meeting... he was on the W. Coast, I was on the E. Coast, U.S.
It came to a point where all we were doing was talking to each other, eating and sleeping, pretty much, we needed to get together, but it wasn't about 'meeting up', we knew our relationship was serious and forever, so I moved out there and we moved in together, and it was great, but somewhat rocky the first year or so, but there was no question we would always love each other, so no matter what happened, we made it work, we are meant to be together. Now we've traveled this country a few times over, we've had tons of crazy adventures together, and we have a 2 year old daughter now.
The internet made it easier for me to trust that it was 'real', irl, I could have easily dodged the situation like I preferred to do, the bravado that people put up in person when they're nervous, insecure, trying to prove something, etc. has always been disturbing and something I could see right through. On the internet, intimate details, subtle and psychic energies can connect in ways that 'the physical' can discourage, at times. It really just depends on the state of mind, the vibe, and well, tons of other shit... but for me, internet love was more welcome than going through the hassles of ''physical meetups" and dating, which is just not my style, and the chill nature and comfort of getting to know someone over time, in the comfort of your own home, without having to change anything about yourself or your environment can be ideal for some... follow your heart.

 

Nope.

 

aww thats lovely! :cheers2:
