HHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII MY LOTTERS......... Internet provides a lot of benefits for us in every aspect of life.We can search on any thing on internet.We gain knowledge & entertain ourselves from this.It has covered the world to a better future. But i have a question.The sites like facebook,orkut etc. provides u a good friendly atmosphere & make new friends.But my girlfriend got to have a break up with me due to this site. Actually she made a number of new friends through these sites & started chating with them.Then she started to chat all the day & made a relationsahip other than me. So i hate this. CAN U HAVE A BETTER WAY OUT FOR ME........................

u are right. social networking websites take more of our time. we get friends thro these and we lose friends thro these. ur case is an example. u are possessive. u want her to talk to you only always. for her u are one among so many net friends. so she will not bother. u expect respect from her as ur mother respected ur father. that is not possible in this generation. u must give more. u should allow her to be secretive and u also be secretive. that is present day younger generation.

No offense, but you can't really put all the blame to social networking with regards to what happened in your relationship. It just showed you that your girlfriend is experimental. The only thing I can say is move on, and treat this break up as just another break up.

Sadly, there is always cons and pros to everything, social networking sites are not an exception to the rule, dear. There are people who benefited from it and there are also who suffered from it. Others are too unfortunate that they even got killed because they are a member of such a site. Knowing or meeting people you hardly knew could be very dangerous. You aren't alone though. I, for example, experienced the same bitter fact when my husband flirted with so many women in the net. See, he is my husband, for Pete's sake! Yours is just a gf.... Nevertheless, I know how you feel. I am also very much into facebook but unlike my husband, I'm not flirting. I'm just enjoying the company of my friends to forget the s hit my husband did to our relationship. You see, he used it to ruin us and I'm using the same site to get through what he had put me through... Cons and Pros. Inseparable... I'm wishing you well, dear...

Just realize there are more fish in the sea. And, not all people are adicted to social networking. If your girlfriend dumped you because of a website, then that's her problem. She got cought up in the world of the internet and probably lost sight of who she is. Most times the internet can change you. And, I can't say this is bad, or good... social networking can be both. It's adicting, but it's also been known to do a lot of good things too, just depends mainly on who you are as a person and how you use the internet.

Very sorry to know that your GF leaves you. This generation is very fast and intelligent. They are very materialist also. They do not believe in long lasting relationship and internet provide a channel to go to such big world. So, options are endless and your GF choose the best for herself. I m sure if she finds someone other more suitable than she may ditch that person also. So, do not crib for her. Try on the internet and you will surely find someone other.

The internet give us the unique opportunity to share our hopes, dreams, ambitions, fears, etc.. without it having attachment to our normal life. That is why I enjoy sites like mylot because of anonymity. However, now that facebook and other mediums are becoming more popular we are losing that anonymity that allowed such freedom of speech. Now saying something on facebook or similar sites can have real life consequences like getting fired, caught cheating, not hired, unfriended, etc.. I don't like this change. I have a facebook account but I hardly use it because I have different classifications of friends/family and not all of them I want to know all the same things. I am facebook friends with people from high school I hardly know as well as really good friends as well as my family and grandparents. There is hardly anything I want all of these groups of people to know about. So in retrospect I think the internet is a terrific thing for bringing people together and creating discussions; However, I don't agree that facebook is good.

I am sorry that you broke up with your girlfriend and the reason was she had met someone off a social network center. It must have been very upsetting when she went off with another person. My friend was a member of a dating site and she dated a man for 8 months. Sometime during the time she was dating him he became friends with another lady on that dating site. It was awful when they split up because he straight away began dating his friend. Since then he seems to have dated around six different ladies. I like to be on Face Book but I am careful who I become friends with. I have now got a photo of myself on Face Book. I think social netting is excellent because it has let me find my old friend from primary school and my old friend from secondary school.

I think social networking is not bad thing it is a very good thing because you can find your old friend on social networking who are not to near you in present. But sometimes their some criminal activity is also done on social networking. So always be careful about these types of things. But overall I want to say that this is a good thing to communicate with peoples.
