Do you trust the person whom you chat on the net?

Hi ajithal, you believe or not, the son of one of my colleague found his true love via chatting on net. They had been chatting on net for nearly half a year and had the face to face dating later on. Not long after that they got married and live happily together till now. I did hear many cases of cheating on net chat, some even with malicious motives, so we have to be very cautious when during dealing with matter.

how did you find out this person was fake? ive been chatting with this girl named tracey for almost 2 years now and i believe she is real and who she says she is. I have seen pictures of her and her family and me and my husband plan on going to see her eventually.

I have had a couple of past experiences with people I have met online and they also turned out to be very fake. I chatted with these people for about 3 months also andthey turned out not to be the people I thought they were. they pretended to be so kind and helpful and in the end they were very fake and rude and even cussed me out in an email. It also took me about 3 months to see their true colors. It is very hard for me to trust people anyway, but online folks are really hard to figure out and know for sure at first.

At first time I don't trust. We don't get to know a person in 2/3 months, it takes more time. I usually prefer to wait and to get to know the person better and then I go and meet her. I don't have many online friends, maybe only 2 or 3 I don't know personally but I know they are what they show, I've "known" them for years but they live far away and it's very difficult to meet. I don't really know why people lie, sooner or later they will get caught, I guess. It's not because we pretend we are nice that we really are. Lying doesn't help.

Not really, unless do really met her/him and making real life friends with him/her, otherwise will just treated him/her just normal hi bye friend =)

Hello dear ajithlal. I think that it depends on the personality of the person on the net. There are still some net people who are trustworthy. I have got to know some friends on the net and we had some very nice chat with each other. Of course, there can be people on the net that cheat the others, which is not avoidable. Anything can happen. Thanks for your old discussion, dear ajthlal and thank you for responding to my discussion, my dear friend.

I have had one experience where someone turned out to be fake but all of my other internet friends are as genuine as I am. I have met some of them and I hope to meet some in America as well, later this year. Internet friendships can be just as deep and rewarding as face to face friendships - sometimes more so. The important thing is to be entirely honest oneself (though never reveal too much too soon), to be prepared to trust the other person but always with one's eyes wide open. Look for red flags but always see them as guidance. It is possible to be a friend to someone even though they are not being totally honest with you. Understand that people do have different ways of 'feeling safe'. If the other person is really intent on snaring you, then it will be obvious fairly soon. If you have given a little in friendship but not too much, it will be no harm to you.

what kind of fake? well i used to not trust anybody who try to make any money dealing with me... but with the chat about life n so on, i don;t really care enough if he/she lying. so there's line n rules between the chat fren :) o yeah n no realtionship too i guess...

It's difficult to predicit the person whom your talking face to face is saying truth or lieing.How could one say the one with whom your chatting is genuine one?Opposite person may also think same like you.As per me most of people knows that they are chatting with fake ones.
