Will you fall in love seriously to someone on the net.. Especially to someone you only met in one of those social networking sites and does not even want to show his/her face on camera for reasons like she/he has no camera, my cam is not working or the internet have some problems. For me These are just alibis and that these persons are not serious with you and so they should not be taken seriously as well, much less to get involved or to be in loved with. just like texting, you do not see the face of the person you are talking to and you do not even know if the person who's texting you is the same person you're in loved with.. On the other hand how can you be sure that the person you're in loved with is telling the truth.. Even if she/he shows her face on cam.. How will you know if he/she is committed to someone or has a family.. I think that it's but just proper to meet the person before you can say that you're in loved with him/her. How about you would you fall seriously in loved to some one thru the internet.

I would, and have, loved someone seriously over the net. The first person I ever fell in love with was over the net. I didn't know what he looked like, nor did I care. I loved his personality and we had great times talking to one another. We never dated, but I loved him with all my heart. The next 2 loves of mine were also online. Both also before I even knew what they looked like. We webcam and start talking on the phone a bit later on in the relationship. Granted my current boyfriend I met in real life, but we do communicate a lot over webcam, video games, phone too, just like how I did with my online lovers, except that we go to school and stuff together. My online lovers were the ones who taught me what love was and what it was like to love in the first place. IMO it's not really different. You two are both people and can have nice loving conversations. The only different is the lack of physical contact. Online loves are completely, 100% legit, and of course if you are both telling the truth and really care for each other, doesn't that also mean that neither of you care about the physical aspect but love each other for who you are as people?

I can only be in love with someone I met online if I already got to know her in person. We should not rush into falling in love. Let's not be overwhelmed by the feeling of being in love. It is always important to give ourselves sufficient time to know the person better,after all that's how a good and healthy relationship starts. A person who claims that they're in love with their text mates, chat mates or other person they haven't meet personally are just fooling herself/himself,because you're not in love with the person but you're in love with his/her messages or your exchange of messages, because it gives you a feeling of love. In other words you're in love with the 'feeling of love' and not with the person himself. That's all.

That's indeed a dangerous way to risk our heart in. I have always been an online type of a person and have a lot of friends gathered from my time here online. Love has come knocking several times as well but I have never really paid much attention to them since I know that online love has more disadvantage than advantages. I would be lying thought if I'd say that I have never really fallen for someone online. I did, it was harder than I thought it would be possible. It happened a long time ago, about a decade or so. I just go online to just have someone to talk to (that time online courtship wasn't a fad and there only few who's primary purpose is to find love). I stumbled upon this guy because I used the internet to rant and pick a fight after a very bad day at work. It was unfortunate of him to have tasted my wrath after he was playfully trying to tease me with something in the chatroom. After the incident, I felt guilty and apologized - that started our friendship and my friendship with his 'group'. We talked for hours as a group and individually, and had the time of our life. It wasn't long that I started feeling something special for the guy. There were no talks of courtship, it was just friendship. After a while, I slowly realized I loved him, the one-sided (because he never told me how he felt for me) love lasted for a long while before he decided to get married to someone. Now, the point is, you could fall in love with someone, but I think expressing it or not is up to you. If you want to spill your heart out to someone you have not yet seen in person, that's dangerous because he might not really be into you or is just there online for fun or for collecting a lot of girls. I think it's best to just find friends online, and when someone is interested in you, meet the person first and be with the person for a while before you finally decide if the relationship is worth pursuing or not. It's simplier that way as compared to just spilling your heart out only to be hurt in the end. I have found my partner online but we have met several times before he courted me and before I accepted him. The relationships isn't very smooth because we're far from each other. But I guess we don't really have control who we fall in love with. There's no perfect formula to love.

well you have good experience. I too feel online friendship is much dangerous. We doesn't know whether they are telling the truth or not, and what is the intension behind their making friendship with the people online. I think most of them will make friend to make fun and they skip i think. Better not to involve or invite problems through online.

Usually I have noticed that mostly the one's who used these alibi are people from Africa. I do chat before when I was Still single and I noticed some people from Africa, Nigeria some part of that continent they will not show their cam because they knew that when the person they're chatting with knew that they were from those country they will stop chatting with them. In that case they feel a little bit discriminated that's why mostly they don't show their faces on cam.

I guess it's best to meet someone first before falling seriously in love. It's good to feel the trust and affection without meeting the person, yet. In that case, you have a strong foundation of friendship. After you meet each other and feel he same way, then you can give it a try if you can make it work. ^_^

I have fallen in love over the internet, from a social networking site and before everyone had cams and such. We've been together for seven years, we've been married for over two years.

I've fallen in love with girls through the internet twice in my life... and I do mean an absolute falling in love, a deep and meaningful connection with someone, and they started with someone so far away, but the need to be writing eachother and talking to eachother each and every day... then when it came to meeting them in person, I found that I had such a strong connection with them already, and it made every single thing they do just so incredible, just amazing... I can't even say I've ever felt that amazing about someone... it truly is like your dreams coming true all of a sudden. Another piece I've found, is that you have to worry about lies and problems if you've only known eachother for a couple weeks and you've fallen for them, and then met, but if you're talking for hours every day, for months and months, by that point, it wouldn't be hard to see the problems and errors with them... and if they're trying to pull something on you, then they've gone through so much work to do it... would someone actually go for that? I can't see how... months of work isn't worth ripping one person off... even moreso if you just met them by chance through a social networking site... I mean... come on....

It's easy to scam someone through the net, especially when you never see his face. The point is, you need to figure out whether he's lying or not. Check for patterns and his story. See whether he stick to it or not trustworthy. This might not work for some as they're already good at lying. Relationship that start from the Internet is always doubtful. But not all end badly. A friend of mine meet her husband from Friendster and now already blessed with two children. Another meet through Facebook. So I guess you really need to figure out whether he's really into you or try to scam you.

You are right there.. Don't easily believe what you hear and believe... Try to be discerning that way you will know who is trying to fool you and who is telling the truth.. if you were scammed try again... lol..try and try until you succeed...

How can you fall in love when you haven't seen that person thru cam or even picture? I don't think it will be possible to fall in love just by chatting or voice chatting. Well,maybe it may happen,but for me. I need to see him first,in order to be sure that i am talking to a real person and not a gay,or she or an old man just having fun. But i can say that,it is really possible to fall in love with someone thru internet. Just be sure who you are talking/dealing with,not to have a broken heart in the end.

For me, it would be too dangerous. What if the one on the online is not the real one in person? I would only be wasting my time for that. And hurting my head too. You're right, how can you be so sure that the one there is telling the truth? Falling in love online is like going for a dive just because the one there is telling you to do so when in fact it is only waist-deep.

Yes, definitely, it is possible that you will fall for someone you met on the net. Same thing that you can fall for someone you met at the bus stop or at the a party. But the hardest part of being in love with someone you just met online is that you really wouldn't know if that person is also serious about you. If he does not want to show his/her face on cam, for sure there is something he/she is hiding. Who know, he may not be a real male/female right? If he/she is serious about the relationship, you will eventually feel and see it. I met my first boyfriend on the internet, he is based in California. It takes a while before he sent me his photo but before that, he calls me in a daily basis. Aside from that, he usually makes me meet some of her relatives here in the Philippines. I was able to meet two of them, they brought me something that came from him. We exchanged snail mails and cards especially on holidays and special occasions. So I know what is his number and address in California and he knows where I live too. So if this person you met online doesn't want to share personal information like those, I believe be careful on trusting him/her.

For me, i think when we get a relationship with one on the internet, it 's not only internet but also a real person. I always think seriously to get a relationship with anyone, and i hate who just want it to be fun. Control yourself and don't be easy to fall in love *.^

Dear friend, Not yet got anyone to love through net. Moreover I feel if it is my right choice I may go forward. But may be my right choice is yet to come, who know if it is from internet. Anyhow I had seen an increasing trend in our locale in dating through internet relationships.

I do agree that meeting in person is the only way to know if it is true love because, in my opinion the attraction to another may not just be superficial but I would need to know the whole ‘package’ especially someone’s eyes, I can get a lot by looking at another’s eyes. Speaking for myself I don’t see how one can fall in love without ever having seen the other person’s face!

it happened to me :( and i feel sick :( and tired :( i loved him, i worked hard to go meet him, i cared so much^^ i saw him in cam yes. he waited me more than a year to accept him, i accepted him and then he just is acting careless nowadays. i dont know if he cares or not about me. i just know that im so confused and dont know what to do. but is possible to love someone online^^ if you share many things, if trust, if listen each other, if talk, if laugh together, if see each other^^ you just cant touch person but you can speak and see^^ sure is hard these relationships but can fall in love^^

i do agree that we shouldn't or try not to be so serious in this type of relationship. although there are some who have a successful relationship even though they met through internet. i also agree that it is just proper to meet the person and to know him/her personally before you decide on things. as for me, i don't think i'd fall in love thru internet. i don't mind making friends but going that deep would be a no-no.

Well I guess it depends on the situation. The net maybe the way for both of you to communicate more deeply and would probably turn to serious relationship.

love on internet esp. on social networking site is most common. but in todays context, its become the home of fraud. so falling love there is very tough..so i dont think and i also dont believe in falling love through social networking site without seeing them..
