Many people tell me that online dating is not real, email this discussion to a friend?

chaikofi (2)   ranked 172 out of 3,561 in lover2 months ago

Many people tell me that it is folly to date online. There is no physical presence. It is just not real. What does a lover mean anyway? Is it someone you can hold, someone you can touch, someone you can caress, someone you can embrace and kiss? In order to understand this, maybe we should understand what love really is. Love, from which the word lover come from. Does love need physical presence before we can call it love? With all these dating sites that we see on the internet, I think we should give our insights on this internet love phenomena.

Dear, Yes You are almost right. Most of the problems you will face is the Identity of that person. Be it a Man or Women, they try to hide their actual Identity. Unless you know exactly, with whom your chatting or talking, the dating can not be called as real and genuine. Most of the times you are being cheated up by the other side person. But I may be lucky, at least after talking to more than 500 ladies, I found a real person, who is not a Fraud. And now she is my GF. May be she is 20 years junior than me, but she is a lovable person. Most of the times it only becomes Flirting and not proper meaning of Dating.

Hi. Well maybe,if you are both honest, even without physical presence, you can call internet love as real love. I always think that the bottom line of love is honesty and trust. I think it will work as "real" relationship does.

I don't agree with dating online.Most of the time, guys are just to kind in the internet or through online, but when they already met, the guy is so rude, but I am not that type of guy.I don't do online dating. I only chat and never try to have an eyeball. What about you?Do you date online?Did you try doing an eyeball?happy


chaikofi (2)   ranked 172 out of 3,561 in lover  2 months ago

Yes, I am dating online. I've been dating this guy for more than 3 years already. We do have plans of meeting and stuff but it is just too hard for now. He is in the other side of the globe. I still have a lot of things to finish first and so does he. But we're keeping it real here. We feel like our relationship is just like any other "real" relationship because we are both honest and we both trust each other. I think that what kept us going for more than 3 years now.


myLot reputation of 91/100. rberon1985 (1399)   ranked 817 out of 3,561 in lover  2 months ago

Wow!congratulationshappyVery few online couple can stay three years. Most of them encountered a lot of problems. Did you see each other already even once? Do you think he is good and will not hurt you in the near future? If you have some problems or concerns,your mylot family is just here for you!happy

You can never love a person not unless if you know him/her inside out and that means physical presence is a must. Let's all face it, the internet can be an avenue of lies and deceit and the people that we meet there are not what they seem. What stems out out of online dating is more of curiousity and excitement about the other person and not really genuine care, love, and trust. We should never confuse ourselves with what love really is from the feeling of being "in love". Falling in love with somebody online is so shallow and it falls under the category of infatuation, it could even be considered as very shallow infatuation.

The question now is, why do a lot of people develop some feelings with somebody online? Somebody they haven't met physically and get to know first hand? It's because people are so too good to be true online. They either stress out their positive traits or worse, lie about it just to impress others (which is usually the case). How many times have people developed some feelings for somebody online and such feelings immediately died down after meeting? A lot. Why? Because online dating is a deviation of reality. It masks what or who people really are and shows who they want to be.

Online dating usually leads to frustrations, disappointments, failed expectations, and heartaches that is why it is so risky to invest emotions in online dating not unless you have met the person physically and was able to get to know him/her first hand. Dating leads to relationships and relationships requires physical presence for it to work.

What you have just said are definitely the truth and nothing but the whole truth about online dating. But i knew some couples who dated online for some years and was successful. Maybe they were just extraordinary. Or maybe they were just too honest and too truthful that it worked.


myLot reputation of 97/100. boybato (444)   ranked 466 out of 3,561 in lover  2 months ago

Though there are some that really worked and have gone quite well, the numbers game would show that meeting somebody good enough or have met our preferences online is quite bleak. Online dating might be fun but just be cautious in making it serious. If you want to get into a serious relationship with somebody you met online, you've got on better choice but to really meet such person physically and see where it leads.

Some online dating isn't real, but the power of emotional ties and the mind is extraordinary. If there's a connection and your heart is really in on it, then of course it's real! Perhaps it's even more real then people who date like drones, not feeling anything at all. The daters who date just because they're bored and don't bother putting anything into it at all. Love however I believe is much more complex than dating. I do not view love as an emotion one can just fall out of like sadness or happiness, but an act that is not restricted to a significant other, but you show to your friends family and even strangers.

5. myLot reputation of 99/100. dorannmwin (1730)   ranked 1,766 out of 3,561 in lover   2 months ago

I initially dated my husband online and then we met in person and dated in the traditional sense for a while. We've now been married for five years. With my experience in mind, I really do think that online dating is real, but it is only real if you decide to take the next step and move it into a true relationship where there is companionship and truly getting to know the person. Now, I did know that I loved my husband before we even met in person and I also knew that we would end up married with a family of our own, but I don't think this is the case for all people.

I think you are very lucky to have found real love online.:D

The whole basis of online dating is to find a match for you and to eventually meet. For example i am married to my wife which i met on an online dating service.
When you date online its not like the whole intention is to have a relationship that way its so that you can meet new people and eventually face to face.

When it comes to online dating,anything goes.
Both partner can lie all they want just to make
sure that they will be accepted. Attractions do occur
in online dating..sometimes it can be intense. But on the
other side it's more like an illusion for something that
you can never had in real life. wub

Online dating, now that is a laugh and a half.

1. Its online
2. It uses the word dating

The first one I am ok with the second I am not.

I guess you have to be that kind of person.

Love is companionship, Someone who makes you feel good. I think if it brings comfort and love and happiness to your life then Do It! Its all about the individual person and what works for them. Who has the right to judge!


chaikofi (2)   ranked 172 out of 3,561 in lover  2 months ago

I agree. But there is still that lingering doubt. Not doubt about the other person. But more of the circumstances.
