October 8, 2009 3:32am CST
What a fool I was!I believed a man online and thought we could work out.Yes,I think I am totally fooled.I cant hate him actually,because I was the one who was thinking too much.And I know we can hardly succeed.However,I am still really sad. We've never met and he got nothing from me,neither did I.Im sad because I dont feel love any more.That sounds stupid,I know.Im now trying not to be so silly and hope to get over it soon.Since I'v never met someone special in real life,its a bit difficult for me to forget him.I think it takes time.Thanks for reading over my discussion.You can say anything on this.

In real life I have seen women tend to lie more than men. Men are more straight forward than women. Men rarely speak in second meaning compared to women. I don't believe anybody I meet online. People lie in online chatting places and I have done the same. I don't want to disclose my personal details to somebody I meet in an online chatting place. All of us wear an invisible mask when we work or communicate in a social networking website. Many people like me don't want to come of the mask. So, if somebody ask personal details, I will give only fake details because I don't want to disclose my personal details and be in trouble. But, me and my husband met at an online matrimonial website. Both of us were serious about marriage and it worked out very well.

Yes, it is absolutely a high stupidity in revealing ourself infront of the social networking sites. Whenever I goto chat rooms, I never disclose my personal details and information. Apart from uploading my original photo and giving my educational details, i never give other personal details. If an anonymous asks me about my other details, I ould simply say that I am not interested in giving him/her the details rather than giving some false information. Some times you are destined to meet the person of your choice and I think Dalaiaj, the same was destined upon you and you are very much fortunate to find a correct person of your choice online and you must definitely thank your stars for that. Have a great day.

[b] Excuse me!? Speak only for yourself! I don't lie here! Why should I? This is a place I feel 100% safe in being myself & speaking my deepest thoughts! Look at my profile if you doubt that; you can see for yourself! I only know one of the people who come here in "real" life! I'm a "what you see is what you get" kind of person, & I know for a fact I'm not the only one! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

I know most people lie or give fake personal information in online chatting places but still there are some who would rather not tell more details about themselves than lie.Im not against finding someone online,I mean ,the net is just a way for people,esp.those who are not very active in social activities to meet others.Of course,you have to be careful when choosing your friends.I used to think the guy I met online many years ago could turn out to be the one I 've been looking for.Now,Im wrong.I have to face it and need time to recover from my own depression.

Only fools can love because love doesn't need any intelligence, so my friend it's not only you alone who feel like that, there are lot many like you and by the way you never meet him so there is no need to feel sorry, enjoy your life dear, because still there is some one special waiting for you to whom you meet also. Good Luck!

[b]"Love doesn't need any intelligence?" On the contrary--it is only real love if your brain is engaged! If it's not, then what you're feeling is probably just wishful thinking, or worse, lust! I feel sad for you, since you obviously have never learned about nor experienced real love. Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

I think what junior07 means is that poeple who in love are sometimes foolish because their mind are full of sweet dreams and fantasies that might seem strange from others'point of views.I know someone special is always waiting for me and I will meet him sooner or later.lol Cheers

I think most men don't like to lie, it's not a premeditated thinking, it's more of a natural impulse I think. And when the lie is believed by the person you lie to, I think that give the liar a feeling of power, leaderhip if you will. But if you know a person well enough, you can spot the lies almost instant and it's very important that in some cases either you show that you recognize the lie and that would be a punch in his ego or "fight fire with fire" - respond with the same coin = lie, but this doesn't go anyware as you will have an unfulfilling relationship. Best is to get to know the person, spot the lies and reveal them. Hope you'll get back on track soon and feel love once again. Keep your spirit up !

well to tell you the truth he did took something from you. he took your time, when instead you could have been out there meeting your true faith, you were stuck there chatting with him. i am not telling you this to make you more unhappy, i am telling you this because i want you to reallized that he too has a fault in all of this. men i tell you loves to play around when ever they can, you just have to be smart about this. I had expirence this before and what i did is not to get sad from this instead learn from it. most men lie when they just want to play around. thats just the sad truth to it. and its not just in the internet, its in the real world even your ace to face with a guy they will still lie just to get away with anything or everything that they don't want to deal with. you have to learn how to detect lies, use your instict and your good judgment on the matter. you will one day find that guy perfectly made for you. never lose hope.

Well not just men lies, everybody lies. But dont think you should rush in online meetings. I have heard many stories where one (not neccesarily the man) lies about him/her self.

I really can't agree with you. If men like to tell lies, women will tend to tell lies too. As we all know, as a part people' life, activities on the internet is just virtual, which is not worth believing in. At the same time, there are lots of scams online and you must be careful no matter what you want to do. It is a foolish way to make friends online. Be careful next time. Good luck!

Advice accepted.I was really silly.Well,its not late to go back to real life,isnt it?BTW,If you meet someone you get to know online in real life,then you two become friends or even lovers,i dont think its wrong.Internet is a way to make friends ,only you have to very carefully.Never put your heart into it until you meet in person and spend some time together.

It's good that you were able to look at it objectively and your share of the problem having fallen for this man on the net. I'm sure you will take this as a lesson in the future not to be gullible and believe people easily. They may be serious people on the net but the general rule is "in the cyberworld, nothing is what it seems" Take care of yourself. Be friendly but practice extra caution especially with your emotions. cheers!

No its not true that men alone lie. In fact women are more apt to lieing than men. Although most of the lies tend to be harmless, women still do it more than men. There are women who lie even after sleeping with another man

It's not only the men but in reality everybody lies. Don't rush, there is always someone for everyone. I know you'll find someone who will love you as you are in due time.

i also have the same feeling, sometimes i think men like to lie, but not most oof men; maybe men like to lie, beacuse women like to listen to lie, about love many people also know as they said, women also like to lie, i agree, if you love someone, are you sure your true word is more than lie?

yes you are right men like to lie..but behind this there is a reason..and the reason is this.. they like to lie..because they don't want to hurt her/his loved ones.. so they like to lie..lol.....:)

Ok,I take that.maybe he lied because he didnt wnat to hurt me.But I think I was being fooled even though that was true.Then I would rather be told the truth.What a fool I was!

we can never tell if the person is true through the net. they could always tell lie. the best thing to know a person is to meet him personally and spend sometime with him. don't believe what the men say in the net because they always tell good thing about you.

You are right.We can never know the real him if we dont meet. I cant believe what he says.Dont worry for me,We are over,which is not a bad thing.

i think the feelings you have are all false feelings out of your imaginations.we girls always do such kind of things.that's why we are sad when it finally cannot work out.men are more realistic.you'd better find someone that really love you.it's difficult,but try.there must be someone waiting for you.

Thanks so much,dear mylotters.I can understand every word you say.What hurt me most is that we(The internet guy and me) dont belong to the same place,we live far from each other,which makes meeting difficult.And I do agree that men are more realistic,they cant love one without seeing or touching.They are sensual animals.Im sad because my imaginary lover has gone.lol That must sound silly to you.Im ,on the contray,very sensitive and emotional,or kind of romantic.Well,Im much better now.I wouldnt lose heart.Regards

I do agree with you,angeliam. All men like to stay in realistic but most of the girl enjoy imagination...i also think that it's not a real feeling, you sweetyethot,might think that is real, but time will tell you that is only imsgination. Do you know why?it because you never have a real relationship face to face in real life. that why you are so get into the internet guy i fell for him.he could influence you by the sweet words, the acting to show love but he didn't mean to hurt you by the way. ...can you imagine?it's about computer and network, we can say and do anything we want to, he might be not intend to lie to you...but whatever you know real relationship will happen when two person can see face to face, hold hand in hand, and learn to know each other very well. .. Anyway, do not give up, your soulmate's waiting for you in the future,who know:)

They are the 2 headed beast and they breath lies because they cant agree with each other on who is the leader.

Hello friend, I want to tell you that not all men, is liar. They don't want to lie as possible and they are also equalize to women in percentage of saying lie. There are some men, being lie because of their vices and caprices that will not prevent them to do...They want to be as good as they like but they are lure to commit mistake sometimes...have a nice day!

i dont know why men like to lie? but i do think u'd better not to believe someone u never meet in real life, certainly i'm just meaning most of the time, esp for the feelings, it's not good to believe the words totally without any actions between two persons who never meet. there are too many such kind of examples in the society.

You never know who you are talking to in cyber space. It may be a girl or a boy. Nothing can be certain. If you have fallen in love, it is just being soul mates, that's all. No harm has been done as long as there is no physical contact. Do not give them your phone and house address to avoid being stalked.

[b]Hello Men and women lie, not all but some, you will eventually get over this, I would hope in time you will not give your heart so easily, this is a sure way to have it broken very fast, internet relationships should be handled with care anyway, considering you don't know what is true or what is untrue, take this experience as a lesson learned and try not to make the same mistake again, in time you will learn to protect your heart and things like this may hurt your feelings but you will get over it pretty quick. Thanks for sharing.[/b]

em,it is a real pity .But,I think, on the other side,it is a lesson to learn.without such experiece,we would not be more careful about ourselves. And I agree with you,it will take time to forget that.Then,your life will be more meaningful.
