Hello bonita mia good morning to you...I think this prove on some different meaning of Love. LOVE IS BLIND; in the sense that the woman never look what might be the risk of marrying someone who has different culture. I knew a lot of women after marrying someone who has different culture with us experiencing big problem especially when the woman lives already at the man's country. In this case, it can triggered some couple's problem that might be resulted of splitting up. LOVE IS AN ISLAND OF ROMANCE SURROUNDED WITH EXPENSES; this is on the side on the man ( foreigner) just imagine the amount of money he spend just to win finally this woman.. Do i make myself understood bonita mia? This is only my opinion How about if someday this would happen to you? There's a big possibility isn't it? he he he ha ha

Hello Martin, Well,what can i say my dear amigo. I know there's a big risks on this matter,but,for me...it is more of two people understanding each other. Actually,i never seen these two(my neighbor and the Indian guy)dating for so long. I've seen the guy arrives about 2 weeks and then,2 days before the marriage,the guy's parents arrived for the wedding ceremony,and then,went home the next day. I don't think the guy would spent big amount of money just for fooling this girl. I wish them happiness,and i am happy to see my neighbor overwhelmed with joy. Well...me?......that's a big question mark my dear amigo (hahaha) have a good day always my dear Martin

I think that more people are meeting people from the internet than they used to int past, but the world has changed a lot since the internet was first introduced. With more peop[le having internet access and spending more time online it seems logical that many would meet friends, partners online. It can be daunting I imagine to meet someone in person after only previously communicating online. It is questionable if you can ever really know about a person without forging a relationship in the world beyond online communication. That said though, if a person is dishonest or involves themselves in bad things in life it doesnt't really matter if you meet them online or have known them for years. There is every chance of getting hurt in matters of love regardless of where we meet a person. There is a chance that relationships can work after online meetings but it depends on the people involved and the circumstances of life that impact on their relationships.

hello york, Precisely,if people we've met in real life and even get acquainted for years still can't be trusted enough,or,cheat us...what more with the chances of being cheated or fooled thru online. But,for people who knows and trust their hearts..there is always a way to find if someone they love and met thru online is sincere or not. Meeting in real life after knowing each other on the net is the most possible way to know each other. Meeting each relatives and other friends will also help to know how true the person is. It's not like...meeting online and agreeing to get married soon as they've met in person...i don't think it's advisable...there's a risk to be cheated then. They must take some more time to know each other in real before getting into more serious relationship. thanks for your response and have a good day always

of course, i do believe in internet love affair. even if they come from two different parts of the world, it will still be possible to happen. i also know some people here, aside from one of the relatives of my wife, who happened to get married with an australian guy.

uhmn,yes,i do. Some were lucky to have a happy ending,some were not. But still,i believe in internet love,..there is always bad and good side of internet,but,it is the people behind it that makes the internet looks bad to others. I admire people who trust people even without seeing each other in person,and,end with a happy life together once they've met. Your cousin is too lucky to have married an Australian.

Hi Jaiho, Well, anything is possible under the sun! One may need to be extra careful and cautious in choosing their partners especially in the internet. I think it would demand double, if not, triple care as much as one done on a personal basis would take. We are only here to see what one writes or hear what one says over a webcam. It is surely very different if you had a personal interaction with each other. Knowing a person is surely a long and maybe, an unending process. Even those who have lived together or have years of marriage still have the "strangers" in them and only get to know each other better after long years of co-existence.

Hello money, I agree with you...it needs extra care and caution. One must know each well and must prove the sincerity of the intention before jumping into such situation. I also heard some crime stories behind this internet love affair...and this happens global,not only in a particular place,but...around the world. And this internet affair is now a widespread ..open story and issue. I also admired those people who really met their love thru internet. True love in the net is truly amazing...and also sad for those victim of modus thru online dating sites. Thanks for sharing your opinion and have a good day always dear

Yes, i believe that some internet love affairs do lead to happy marriage. As evidence, one senior of my college met a girl through internet, started love affair between them and soon they got married. It's nice in the sense that there is no interference of a mediator or parents. People could select their lifepartner easily through internet. Soon,many will follow the trend.

Hello Sam, The story you've written is really amazing. Most people doesn't believe in the power of online love affair. But,i do believe in it...and it's really interesting. I also admired people who are honest thru internet. It is really hard to trust people on the net...but,we need to trust in order to be trusted also. thanks for sharing this story and have a good day always

I know many ladies in our place who have found their foreigners husbands through the internet. I having nothing against this but I am just worried that some of them end up as maids in the foreign seas. It is difficult to trust people whom you met online. Good for those who are very lucky to have found a good husband.

Hello doris, I agree with you..lucky for those who have met the real love with the real person. But,sad for those victims of bad people. It is really hard to trust someone on the net,when people in real life could cheat us..what more with someone we've only met thru online. So,i guess...this is like gambling...and winning if lucky enough to win. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

I cannot contradict that situation for myself met my bf through an online game. And we've been together for more than two years now. Just because two people are miles away, it doesn't mean that their hearts can't meet. :) Although there might be some issues as the relationship grows but we can never avoid that now can we?

Hello anjel, I wish you both more success in your relationship. yes,it is easy to judge that online love is not true..or must be a crazy idea. But,for me..i do believe in it...it's not impossible to fall in love thru online. And,maybe issues will always be there..it is just a matter of acceptance and trust to each other. Online love i guess is a very hard relationship...due to the distance and many barriers on how to prove the sincerity,but,love will always finds a way. I hope someday your love will come into reality. thanks for sharing your story and have a good day always

well first, I'd have a hard time accepting the claim. First, I'm in America where 50% of marriages fail, and that doesn't include the millions of shack up relationships where 90% fail. Second, I'm massively skeptical by nature. So I don't know what it's like in your country, but until they are still together 20 years from now, and happily married, I still don't trust it. As for me, it would take a miracle of God for me to fall in love with some women I have never met, let alone get married to her. I just don't think that's going to happen. How do I know she is who she says she is? How do I know she isn't crazy? How do I know she won't find some other guy online, and be gone next year? Sorry... too cynical for that.

Hello andy, Of course,it's hard to believe.But for people who have experience this kind of relationship..it's not impossible for them. Well,i am not talking about the success of internet love affair and real-life people engagement.... we can never tell up to this moment which relationship is more successful. just like what you've said...some people married for 20 yrs and still doesn't know each other well...and even end up with divorce or separation. We can never measure the foundation of love...it can be the internet love affair...or whatever engagement it is. The important things is...the two concern people..how will they make their relationship to last forever. Thanks for sharing your opinion and have a good day always

Hi jaiho: I agree with you and I find it marvelous how people can meet each other nowadays. In my case, I have never experienced this and I find it a little bit difficult to start a relationship in that way but of course, if two persons love eachother they can have a relationship via internet and they eventually would get married. Thanks for sharing with us this story. -Alvaro.

Hello star, Oh yes,it's a great thing happening on this modern world. I guess it would be a bit difficult...it's not easy to determine how real it is to be in love on the net... And,maintaining a relationship thru internet would be somehow complicated and exciting. Well,you will know about it once you were into such situation.

In my opinion internet love has less scope for success. People are not frank online. People lie a lot online. People act a lot online. Only a very few cyber love can be successful. I have started to write a novel with a name "Cyber Fling" but could not continue it. I wanted to write how a man can get very close to a chat friend and how it develops into a serious love.... I think success rate is very less than 1%. BYW I don't get any chat friend to experiment it? Your dear brother is so unlucky hehehe...

hello my dear brother, I know what you mean my dear..but,internet dating is different from internet love. There were people who were using the net for foolishness(i guess you knew about this things) But,i still believe that,there are real people and love can be found also on the net. So,you are looking for someone as an experiment huh?. Well,you won't get the real feeling..becoz,it is just for your experimentation But still,i wish you can have your prospect to help you with your writing. Have a good day my dear brother

hi jaiho, It happens and it do come true! I know someone who met "someone" online and they got married. I find it weird at first but after hearing their stories it made me think that sometimes online love affair make sense. I used to think that it was weird and so crazy...but in most cases it isn't. There are great couples whose living their lives together happily and there is no way to judge them. Love is love. Anything in this world is possible, that includes loving someone online. (well, in my case..I still prefer the other way around) haha! happy lotting!

I don't know but i don't trust it since the media is saying all that stuff. Like the part about internet-dating could result to some sick pedophile attracting teens or kids and illegal actions. I do trust matchmakers but internet dating is unreliable i guess...
