What do you think of this love affair... you meet thru internet and fall in love then go out for a date... love each other... go for good or let it go...

i really dont see much difference in meeting someone online as opposed to going to a club and meeting them there. people can and do still lie, whether online or to your face, doesnt really mater the place you met tham at. you cant tell if someones lying to you until the lie is exposed. the only difference is, if you meet them in a club and theyre psychotic.. they can follow you home.
i met my husband online.. ive friends who met their wivess/husbands/significant others, online. have lots of friends that ive met online, that have since crossed over into reality and spend time at my home often. is everyone i meet online wonderful? no.. is everyone you meet face to face wonderful.. ? betcha they arent.. makes no difference where you meet people, if theyre going to be rotten, theyll be rotten regardless.

Well it depends on both of you if you are really in-love with each other and make the commitment. If you have seen each other and get to know each other then why not? But if its just a fling, then I would say let it go...
I have posted a similar topic and most of the respondents are those that have met their love in the net and have been married for several years now. For some its just play... so better be careful. Good luck!

There'a risk on having an online relationship, because most of the time each one has it's own sugar-coated lies to say about themselves. There will always be someone who is lying, simply because you're giving your best foot forward to be liked and loved by the other one. Some online relationship works. My husband and I started with that for a few weeks, because he works overseas, it just started to get serious when finally we met in person, it'a a long story, now we're happily married couple. We were introduced to each other by my guy bestfriend who works for him.
Online friendship works too if you have time to make it work, all you have to do is give time to that person. Just beware though, there's a lot of scammers around.

well thats how i met the guy i'm with now thru the internet, we started out rocky arguin over silly things and stuff of that nature now were doing a whole lot better . i dont think u should give up on it i mean if u want jus let it ride out and see where things go. if they dont go so well then jus remain friends because u never know what could happen in the future but jus dont give up on it so fast and you've only had one date. May i ask how did the date go is that the reason u are wondering if u should pursue this or end it?

I am one of the most skeptic persons about online relationship until i met someone (online) and he is already getting married with his fiancee whom he met online too.
I guess it can work out - took them about 2 years before they met each other and now they are getting married!
Maybe it did not work for someone, but it sure worked for somebody i know and that made me change my mind. If two people who are sincere met each other online and fell in love online, i can only wish them goodluck and hope for the best too.
Everything is possible.

Sure it does work but its not for everyone. It is always good to keep your wits about you and maintain some level of personal sceptisism I believe. I also think that after meeting, a lot of quality time should be spent getting to know the person be fore the relationship excels. Anyone can go online and give a false portayal of themselves.

Well, just in my opinion. I don't think looking for a good relationship on the net is a good thing. Why? It's scary to know people who they really are not in real life. It's easy to fool anyone in an online relationship.
I would still prefer looking for a long relationship to the people I know or somehow have a small background of.

Well, i just don't believe in online friendship, especially the two ones are not in the same city ,even not in the same country. But if the two person are near to each other, and after getting to know each other on line, they can date in real life, maybe they can be real lovers. but pur sang on line love is not realistic, i think. For me, i won't even start a online relationship.

In my honest opinion, it is really risky to look for someone online. I tried it 4 times and all 4 times it failed, alot of it had to deal with not really knowing the person on the other end.
I have seen a few that have been abled to make it, but that is the exception not the rule, for the ones that I know about personally.
