what is your opinion about Internet Love/Friendship? Or what do you think about Internet Dating?I am wondering what the people think about meeting people over internet and after 2-3 months chating they become close friends, start sharing their personal experience and after 4-5 months later they tend to fall in love with each other. DO you think this kind of virtual relationship is same as we have in our personal/real life. Or these things are necessary before actually "meeting" them, you should establish a really close relationship and make sure what they really expect from you..

I think having a relationship, especially a romantic one online is risky and can lead to disappointment. Personally, I can't have a relationship with someone without being with them in person. It's one thing to begin to chat online, but pretty soon, I'd have to be face to face. Not to mention, there are all sorts of things that can go wrong. The person you're talking to may not look as the picture they might have sent. For some people, looks are quite important and to meet in person only to realize they don't look like the picture would be a huge disappointment. Also, the person may act differently in real life than they do online. Maybe they're a lot quieter, or they constantly make lame comments. They might have a habit of tapping their fingers or humming. I think people will form their opinion of a person when they're chatting online and once they meet in person, they find the person isn't at all what they imagined and they're deeply disappointed. Something like that could have resulted in three dates, and one person decides they aren't interested--it's over between them. But because they were chatting online, the person wasted months on this guy/girl they now are disappointed after meeting in person. Maybe using a video chat would make things different. I, for one, am not interested in online dating. If I'm viewing a person as a potential romantic interest, I need to be with them in real life.

In a way isn't online romance sort of like in the old days when women would write to men over seas during the war, and end up later on getting married? On the other hand I have to say That Mine and A.C's relationship is growing. I have had problems for a few years with my husband, and lately it has been getting a bit out of control. If it wasn't for A.C. being online, I don't think I could make it through another day. But he is someone that knows me and tells me that I am not that ugly person that husband says I am, and that yes I am beautiful. But I believe that when we know something bad is happening, that its good to have someone that we can talk to, and that they understand us. I know A.C. and I have chatted back and forth online for 2 years, just as friends, but its growing into something much bigger and better. When you have someone at home calling you BI*** all the time, then you go online, and have someone call you love, you know where your heart truly belongs. He may be clear across the country, but when I see what he writes, well it makes me feel like he is right there.

I see any relationship, including those built on the internet, like a young plant. In order for it to grow healthily to bloom and to bear fruits it needs enough food, water, air and sunlight. In the absence of any, the young plant would perhaps die. Meeting on the internet is just the start of it all. You need to continually nourish your love for one another to allow your love to blossom and bear fruit. You can only do this by physically being present for one another.

Hi dear, I didn't have a real experience on this subject. This can happen when both parties are really liked for. This is a situation where both will get a lots of anxiety and mental preparations. This will increase the depth of closeness. As this is a blind connection predictions may not come true when it really happens. The log lasted virtual relationship can break within seconds, one they come face to face each other. Also, the other way it happens. More deeper will the relation, once they come together each side of a table. These all are exclusive in nature and depend on person to person. However, one thing is sure, that the conversation of the initial periods will be more enjoyable and once they are exchange more and more in details, there may by difference of opinion. This may finaly lead to whether they should really go for the end meeting. Regards, Thank-s
