Do you think you are capable of falling in love online? email this discussion to a friend?

The internet seems like a place boiling with many opportunities, and one being the opportunity to meet new people and possibly form loving relationships with them. Can you see yourself falling in love with someone from the cyber-world? I was always a cynic before it happened to me, I don't really believe in successful dating sites, because I think it's a bit desperate, and that desperation may not bring good love, but you may prove me wrong. I found a guy from Sweden accidentally on www.sharedtalk.com (there's no profile pictures etc. so there was no sex appeal), a website that is for practicing languages, made by the program Rosetta Stone. It was an accident that we fell in love over the course of time, we just clicked as friends first, and we agreed with each other on a lot of things. It then formed into a crush on both sides and we decided to meet a while ago. We have been together over a year now and I can't believe the internet even gave me such an opportunity. Now I plan to see him again, but this time I will be flying over there, so I am very excited!
In the picture it shows us in NYC, his first visit to America! We were very sweaty that day from all the walking, I'm not so proud of my appearance there rasp.
But back to my main question, are you capable of opening your heart to someone online?

Oh, the internet is just that too. Boiling over with opportunity. I really stress the friends and going slow on here. Move slow. Don't believe what you hear till you see it. I am very glad it worked for you. Also that you took it slowly. I think it could happen online but, it needs to be done with finese and calculation.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sugarplum9084 (730)   ranked 1,117 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Very true, you must be extremely careful when dealing with things like this online. I took it really slow and learned a lot about him to get a good picture, it seemed pretty genuine of course, and it was. But there should always be room for doubt. I figured when we met for the first time at an airport I couldn't get kidnapped due to all the security, and I wouldn't get that close to someone who didn't fit the description online haha, but thank god he was just a regular 19 year old, not some lonely 60 year old man rasp. But I was pretty darn sure that he was the real deal, and my intuition was right happy. Good things can come out of a few clicks and finger taps I have discovered thumbup.

yeah, but it depends on the situation. i can fall in love with a girl through online chatting if that girl is a good looking, nice to talk with and we have the same interest. if everyday i have communication with her and almost we talk to each other theres a possibility that i can love in love with her. love can be found in so many different ways...

Hi,

I know people are capable of falling in love online. I met my current hubby online over 10 years ago. happy\

We met in an online chatroom thru America Online. We tagged each other as friends because we were both from Illinois and just started chatting. After awhile we met and one thing led to another and after about a year we got married and we've been married 9 years. It doesn't happen to everybody. I've heard some terrible stories of adults meeting people they've met online but I guess I just lucked out. thumbup

Happy MyLotting,
Char
happy


My hubby and me

i love hearing about (or reading about) love stories... how 2 people find each other thru millions and billions of people roaming the face of the planet. isn't it just fate or luck... and yes it doesn't happen to everybody, but it is just so nice if you do.:)


myLot reputation of 90/100. TessWhite (945)   ranked 1,941 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Wow Char, that something else you and I have in common. I met my guy in a chatroom too. It wasn't AOL, but we both did have it back then. We were using a chat site called Excite Chat. We just had our 8th anniversary.:)


myLot reputation of 90/100. sugarplum9084 (730)   ranked 1,117 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Great stories! It's nice to hear that you guys have been together for so long, these stories can really give some people hope!


nuemann (27)   ranked 23,009 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Yeah it happens when you least expect it. You can only find that person that completes you when you have decided to let go of all your bag and baggages, which most people bring in from their previous relations.
You lucked out! if we are to take the many complaints from people who have tried finding a common ground for the many pals they meet online. I have had it but sometimes no matter how hard you try love will only go to places where it is least expected. If let go like you did and open up to receive people you just be receptive to a 'Prince Charming' or 'Ruby red lipped Princess' lol

hey, this is so great hear. it doesn't matter where you met as long as it's working for you.

in my case, it is quite possible. i'm not limiting myself nor closing doors. i used to be quite in friendly terms with a guy online before and who knows where the relationship would lead to given the opportunity to meet in person. however i'm already committed with someone so i'm no longer "looking".

what attracts us online is the ability to communicate. in a relationship, communication is very vital. there are so many stuff we can write about more than we talk about it. our words is an expression of our thoughts and inner self... stuff that normally won't be seen by others unless you spend some time with them and really talk with each other.

i'm happy for you... for finding someone. goodluck!:)

YES, I'm proof you can fall in love online. I met a man in a chat group I had just joined. The first night we met we talked for hours on end. When he left for work & logged off I said "I'm gonna marry that man." My second thought was "How stupid. You'll NEVER even meet. We chatted for a lil over 3 years when the company he worked for closed down & virtually put the whole town out of work. Nothing new moved in to fill the void. I told him if he'd move here, he would have a place to live & be able to find a decent job. He hesitated & then finally agreed. A month after he moved here we were married & had 3 blissful years together. Unfortunately he passed away or we would still be together.

YES I was lucky he wasn't one of those conartists I hear about all the time. But after 3 years, his stories never waivered & I learned him well enough to know when he was fibbing. Sometimes you just have to trust your gut instinct.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sugarplum9084 (730)   ranked 1,117 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Wow, that is such a beautiful story you have to share, but it's so tragic in the end sad. It is good that you have memories of something that was good, and those will live on forever in you. It is great to hear that people fall in love, real, true love, on the internet. There's more to it than advertisements and media! The world is in your grasp without having to step outside of your house (though I still do recommend that rolleyes).

Yes I think everyone is capable of falling in love online. I think it always happens and it is normal. And some people find their love of their life online. I don't think it's desperate if you look for dating online or look for love. People spend a lot of time online and it can happen even if you are not really looking. Congratulations to your new found love, I wish you all the happiness and best things in life.

Yes, of course, I met my GF rite now in the internet in some local forum. And it was started as friends when we first made a contact. FOrtunately we were in the same town, so that when we feel a little bit closer, we arranged a meeting and the rest happened just like that.
We continued the friendship in the messenger, and then started to falling in love there too. I was skeptic that it would worked, but eventually we have made 2 years now and it was an OK relationship.:)


myLot reputation of 90/100. sugarplum9084 (730)   ranked 1,117 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Oh, that's very nice! You're extremely lucky to have found someone close to you, location wise, and emotionally rasp. I'm happy to hear it worked out well. Sometimes when you find someone so close to you in location, it doesn't feel like they are even from the internet because there share that community web and you tend to be really similar with town customs etc. But none the less, you met in the cyber-world, no matter how people like to define it!


myLot reputation of 94/100. klaudine (651)   ranked 905 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

yeah.. it happened because we were in the local social forum, where almost of the people came from the same region. And it was funny if we're talking about it, it could be hours talking about how we could met in the net since we're actually close each other. Well, when I say close, it means really close.
If you are familiar with the movie "you've got mail", starring meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, you can imagine how close our location should be.

Hi friends..... I haven't ever been fall in love with a girl online. But am not sure I am not capable of. I feel, Love is something strangest and unpredictable on earth. No one can ever know when and why that'd be happening. You can't love a person, rather you nmay fall in love with her. When it occurs to you, you only can see those prettiest things happening in your life.
Similarly, to fall in love with a gal online is not impossible, but it is quiete risky. Most of people generally don't tell the truth about themselves. But if I meet some girl online, who is good at heart and truthful. I may be in love with her someday.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sugarplum9084 (730)   ranked 1,117 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Yes! Love is very unpredictable! It's the best kind when you least expect it, and that is usually the case when it comes to love. Perhaps someday you will stumble across a nice girl online and something will blossom between you both. Good luck!

 
9. myLot reputation of 94/100. revellanotvanella (851)   ranked 907 out of 26,366 in life   1 month ago

No. I feel like I've been there and done that when chatrooms first came available on the internet. I had so really deep heated conversations with people and spent hours talking which was great but it was no more than that, its like its a honeymoon and it peaks but the allure fades, you know. Im not saying it cant happen but I would suggest meeting someone and perhaps trying someone in proximity to you first for your own safety (dont want to be just another tourist). I have met people online and I have a few friends I still talk to online but the compatibility only led to friends, which is cool because Im a mommy and have a boyfriend that loves me just fine


myLot reputation of 90/100. sugarplum9084 (730)   ranked 1,117 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

I understand what you mean, I have spoken to a lot of people and have formed friendships, but then you eventually get bored with them and move on and speak rarely when you have moved on to other things.

 
10. shahanas (67)   ranked 12,210 out of 26,366 in life   1 month ago

I dont think so. Because i dont believe those people who want love or such like things online .


myLot reputation of 90/100. sugarplum9084 (730)   ranked 1,117 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Well I didn't necessarily want love online, that was the last place I thought I would ever get it, but it kind of chose me and in that location. I am still amused that I met someone online and made it more than a friendship.
