Deception of Love

I had seen so.many souls that lingered to love. In my view, loving someone online can lead to deception. I am not generalizing the statement. Majority showed their frustrations for being ghosted by the ones they loved virtually. At some point, I prefer meeting someone physically than investing the strong word "love" online. What is your opinion with this concern?

I think it's all about digital attachment and detachment, let me say digital break up. I think if you are serious or intend to build a true relationship, it is better to meet each other physically

You said it right. I always remind my friends. If you are into this kind of relationship, it is better to meet up to know the person up close before investing the love that they can offer to them.

I had experienced having a partner through online. We were been together for about 6 years. Unfortunately, it did not end well.

There is no love online, people lonely but there is barely love when people meet each other in these times. People do not trust one another enough. If they think they in love, they probably just in love with people's views or the way they talk. They do not know if people practice what they preach or even how moody they are. People very different online to what you see in real life, one way or another. Loving someone requires a lot of time and in person action. You can't do that online.

I can agree with you more. I have a friend, and she keeps on telling me her problem about the guy she's been talking with online. I simply told her that she needs to see this person and know him well offline. We can never tell the real score if we do not do this.

absolutely agree. also, many strange people out there who want only to stay online; if they are decent, they should write that from the start and not deceiving people cause, i feel, online deceiving became very spread. and that started even before covid

Love or affection can't be virtual. It is very personal feeling and should be shown by meeting the person

I do think that they should have seen each other personally. In this way, they can still continue the affection either online or offline.

This is something I know nothing about despite spending a lot of time online. I don't think I could be in an online relationship. Or I could but I rather doubt I would be able to resist real life temptation should it arise. I am not sure about " love" without at least meeting someone and getting to know them by spending time with them. I have a friend who got scammed by an online lover. She took a lot of money from him, well borrowed it, dumped him and deleted her dating site account. So online love is not for me.

In the old days, romances by post were common too, and often, the people involved would wax lyrical about each other, and themselves, so that a type of infatuational love might develop, but it is still the case, with online relationships, as well as these past pen and paper relationships, before any committing is done, we do need to meet in person, and assess the person directly then too.
