Is it Possible to Find Love on the Internet?

[Kalishnikov]

Yep I'd agree with that

My m8 met his now wife online an' they're goin' strong

[SilverFox]

Imagine this
There was a woman called Mandy and a guy named George. They spoke to each other everyday, there was not a day went by when they didn't speak. Mandy was going through a tough time, George was there for her, he helped her out and made her see that life was worth living. They began a relationship, the used to stay up talking all night, he used to txt her in the mornin just to say good morning. He made her feel so special, like she was the only person in the world. She made him feel like the luckiest person in the whole entire world.

Now, what would you think if I said these people met on the internet? Yes you can find love on the internet, just because you've never touched his/her face doesn't necessarily mean you can't love someone that is just ridiculous

I saw a clip on french tv this morning telling kids not to give personal information to strangers on the net, funnily enough though it was a lot like the sketch with two paedophiles grooming each other thinking they're kids until they meet...

[SilverFox]

That's the French for you. That's why I don't watch it :P I spend my life watching DVD's.

Loving each other is easy, however when living together require each partners to compromise. To maintain a lasting relationship require the efforts of each other. That is the cause of many failure in relationship and divorces. It will not be easy however it can be done.

Excellent... I think you can find love on the net but you do have to be so careful... i mean i know you could meet someone in a pub and they could turn out to be a complete psyco just as easily as someone off the net could be...

But people can pretend to be something else online as you can't see them they can post up pics of someone else.. however for people that have a really busy life like one of my mates.. he works for hours an practically lives in the office so he used an online site an met a girl that he has been with for 10mths now.. so i guess it can work..

Just remember though if you are meeting someone off the net for the 1st time tell your mates where you are going and make sure its a public place and tell someone when u expect to be home an call them if you are going to be later.. its better to safe than sorry people..

Someone I know packed in a decent job to go and live with a woman in the good ol' US of A. He was married with a child at the time. Many people warned him about the pitfalls. Ten months later he was back in the UK telling us all what a nutter she turned out to be. He didn't meet her on a dating site. She was his fantasy game opponent. I think that says it all.
Real sad.
Ha ha.

Yo, tht's very much possible to find a love on internet. In fact, we can find more than one loves on the internet, provided we work in the right direction, in right time!

But have to be ready for the disappointments too

[TK-421]

i know of a people that do, and love it, yet ont he other hand ive met people that tell me horror stories..

for my part no, but im open:) and like to find out myself....

[imike]

Actually it will require both parties efforts to maintain the relationship. The distance is already a big problem. Using telecommunication might not be a long-term solution.

A haaa haaa! Sorry shouldn't laugh but you gotta admit, pretty nuts hey?!

knew a mate who went to visit a girl in the world's dictatorship known as the US of A. He got her pics and chatted online, soon turned to phone calls etc and when he got there, it turns out she sent an old pic of herself, although she didn't look that much different, her waistline did, like 30 inches different on top of what she had already!

I think you'll only be successful if you meet someone on the net but meet them in person very shortly afterwards. Othrwise you establish all the bonds via a keyboard and when you meet each other and actually have to chat, it'll feel weird and in that case from the word go, things are awkward!

Finding sexual partners on the net? Well that's another issue altogether! As anyone who knows me will say, I don't speak from experience but there's definitely a much higher success rate. So in that case, depends on what you define as love.

[Angel]

I think so..But dont know,sometime its easyer to talk when you cant see eachother..Think thats why women like to speak in the bed at night..LOL..Sorry,had to say it..But you never know if the person in the other end is honest,well you dont know that in the "real world" either..Take a chance but be careful

[benbear]

I can answer this question. When I was in a band back in England the guitar player found a girlfriend on the internet. Now I am working in Bangkok and he is married. He's living in Texas U.S.A and they are completley in love. So um um um that's it really.


life love and unity Ben

[Silversword]

Hallo


True love i think not. i cant fall i love in a picture or a phone call
I have to meet the person

Yours silversword

[Dr Bunsen]

Depends on your definition I say, anything's possible really. In some ways the internet's just another medium for meeting people so there's no reason it couldn't work IMHO...

[Mariasupial]

I went to one of my best mates wedding last w/e and he met his wife on the internet.

[HM300]

it is possible it worked for me on two occasions the first didnt go too well but that was just down to her being a bit of a nutjob.my current g/f started listening to me playin on the radio online and now were together and v happy together :)

[quietRIOT]

No i dont think you can...how yous supposed to know someone they can tell you ought.....

its a good way to get to know someone better tho...cos you can correspond an if you already know who that person is you can find out a lot thru letter writing...or as now the internet....

[phantom]

it is possible. i know few people who met on the net and eventually got married. but finding true love on the net is very rare and has very thin possibility.

TBH I think that finding true love is hard whether the net is involved or not....

don't want to sound old fashioned but it does seem like society is changing to a point where because the stigma is disappearing from short term relationships built mostly on lust (i.e fuck buddies) or even using prostitutes, people of both genders are becoming less inclined to actually bother working at a relationship.

I can see the dangers though as its clear that a lot of so-called "networking/dating" sites are used by people merely to arrange short term flings (perhaps even cheating on their partners), theres blokes looking to put more notches in their bedposts, and girls looking to rinse blokes for as much money as possible during their one night stands

but all this went on anyway before the internet was about. Its more to do with a culture of "instant gratification" though..
