There's this... guy. And I seriously have NO IDEA about what I feel for him. So I ask you now, dear myLot friends. Have you ever fallen in love with someone online? How did you knew that you ARE in love? And what happened after that?

I met my wife online in 2000. We've been married, pretty happily, since 2001.

I met my ex online too. We were together for a year before he decided that the feelings we once had were gone. Before that breakup, everything was pretty great. We got along really well. But things happen, right?

Is he the same guy that those 3 songs reminded you of? I'm sorry. But yeah, things happen.

I definitely fell in love with someone from the internet. I feel in love with him after we'd been chatting for only a week. I wasn't certain it was love, you just can't be certain of that kind of thing no matter what the circumstance. I just knew I wanted to be with him. We chatted online for about 6-7 months and the feelings never went away, even though he kept rejecting me. Then once we met in person, I just knew I wanted to be with him.

That was 4 years ago. We're getting married in May. I'm sorry you can't meet. That does cause problems.

Awww... at least you have met. i doubt we'll meet, him being in the Army and being located into different places. I hope things work out between you two. And I admire you for having the courage to tell him. I don't have that. Yet, at least. .;;

well i really have never fallen in love with anyone online,since i really dont believe that the people we are talking online is telling truth.ya its okay if after starting the intial conversation one meets each other face to face and then one starts having emotion for the other.i think if you havent met the guy ,you should first meet him and then come to any conclusions.

I met my ex online. Aol to be exact. We ended up being together for 9months but his job did not allow him to be home much and I finally couldnt take it anymore. He was a great guy. I felt silly at first having an "online" boyfriend but once we met and things starting going well for us it was no different than anyone else I had dated. Good luck with this and just follow your heart.

As I age, (gracefully of course) I understand more and more that life in general takes time. Especially anything love related. Only time will tell. Be patient and everything will work itself out one way or another. Just be safe and smart. Good luck.

I have never fallen in love with some I met online. But one must be very cautious before commiting in online relationships.It is very easyy to write letters of love online. But meaning that is tough what I feel. so if you really feel something different, better check it very well.

I have. And I married him. My husband and I net on an online dateing service. Lavalife to be exact. I think it is a great way to meet people because you are more comfortable and open and more yourself when you are getting to know each other from the comfort and privacy of your own homes, rather than being right in each others face and being really nervous and acting out of character to try to impress the otehr person to alieviate your nervousness.

No I have never fallen in love with someone online. I have trust issues with people that I meet face to face. I doubt I would trust someone I have never met to be telling me the truth over the internet. I have heard of many success stories, I just don't think it would work for me personally.

Yes, that's what I'm afraid of too. T-T Haven't dated anyone I met online either. I hope he's not one of those fakes, though..
