internet love

not hiding anything.. it just didn't work out. We did not get to know each other in that crucial time of the beginning of a relationship so it was weird the whole time. you only see the best parts of a person through a computer. Only when you spend time with a person do you pick up on all those "quirks" that they have that changes things. My girlfriend has a similar story, she dated some guy online who said he played a lot of guitar and when they finally moved close to each other.. it turned out he OWNED a guitar but never touched it. The girl I dated across the interwebs was sweet as can be over the phone and computer and seemingly liked all the same stuff I did and then when I moved in with her, I found out that all she wanted to do was put me in a mental cage and change everything about me. Also, it turned out she lied about liking at least half of the stuff I liked. It'snot that we didn't have much in common, it's the lies.

 

Tried, failed and no it doesn't work
The others I heard from trying is failing, or failing slowly

 

But you can just as easily find people who are all frosted and sugar coating on the outside only to turn into coffee grounds and lime peels on the inside,,, where you meet them is irrelevant, the only thing which matters is the degree of honest intent in which this other person is approaching relationships in their life with plain and simple.

Granted the likelyhood of someone you meet online as merely viewing the "ideal perception of you" they develop in their mind ( just as you likely do the same to them before meeting ) and being thrown off by the mere shock of the merging of the Fact of you with their fictional character dissolving away before their eyes is a great deal higher, but not nearly as far as one may think given the degree to which our society is driven by it's initial perceptions of a thing and our immediate gut reaction than by any other factors.

 

I know two couples who met online.

Friends of mine met to Match.com. They've been together for several years, married for a couple, now have a kid. Seems to be working out very well. Second marriage for both of them. Perhaps they just knew what they wanted the second time around.

Another couple, been together for 15+ years. Truly in love. Mid 50s, not getting married because they don't feel they need to, but very happy.

I think it *can* work. Maybe less likely? But 1/2 of all marriages fail.

 

I have read somewhere that the greatest loves are those who never meet. Only then does love become magical and story like, only then is always something positive and not a roller coaster of emotion.

If two lovers meet there is all the problems of the real world to follow behind them. All the fights and make ups, marriages and divorces, trials and tribulations. Sometimes you get tired and fall out of love, and go to find a new love.

When there is space, the love can go on, you can keep creating beautiful dreams between each other. Is the actual meeting that kills the love.

While I don't go looking for true love through letters, this is a very interesting look at things.

Although I suggest to find your love in person, so your love can truly play out.

 

Only with people from eastern Europe.

 

worked fine for me , been together going on 5 years soon

 

Been with someone for two years so far, met on hipforums

 

Well I'm just going by my own experience and what I seen with friends/family who have tried also but everyone is different!

 

Omg who

 

I think it can play out with a fair amount of people... but it can really mess with your head.

 

that doesn't sound positive, or like actual love at all.

alright, if this is going to be the only thing you post anymore you really have to tell us who it is.

 

I've only mentioned it twice
You've got to get your sneak on, I'm sure you can figure it out

 

i'm certain this is not true. i was already thinking about how you've said it a few times before i saw this post.

 

Is it Mitch hedberg

 

I can only recall mentioning it in the lonely person's thread, and here, but I am thinking they may be another time I cannot remember...

I cannot keep track of my wandering mind, much less my (type-mode) mouth!
Luckily everything is recorded. I'm sure you can find the exact number of times I've mentioned it.

 

or maybe i was thinking of someone else... i just searched your posts and saw only one other in the last few days...

 

No Half Telling Allowed Here, Spill The Beans Young Lady....
