Do you think it's possible to find real love online?

Hi, i can't say that it's impossible to find real love online as i actually knew my boyfriend through Yahoo Messager. In my opinion, this kind of thing is quite depending on luck. No doubt, we can have all kind of topics, share all kind of interest through online, but, how sure you are he/she telling you the truth? During chit-chatting, you may though that you understand him/her very well, but in actual fact, maybe not. We can read a lot of news about some girls being rape after meet up with the person who she get to know from internet. There is a lot of thing which really beyond our control. We have to be smart enough to make the judgement on whether we should meet up the person or not. Or just continue this kind of 'unreal' relationship in internet world will do.

yes it is possible. it happen to me and we been 3 years now and still counting.. its just a matter of trust and loyalty and i guess we both able to give both what we need..its hard but once u fall in love u fall inlove..

Well, From my experience I can say its possible to find real love on net too.. I have seen a couple. They met on net and now they happy couple. But its really difficult to trust some one here and let him/her enter in your real world. It can be risky too... So I always give advice to be careful ....thats all. thanks !!!

Wow...you just virtually described exactly what I'm going through right now! I met this guy on a game we both play...first just friends. Then we started talking a lot back and forth on Myspace. We have been talking for around 2 months now, and have sent over 100 messages to eachother. We have talked about everything! Our lives so far, our future goals, movies, music, our families, our hobbies, likes/dislikes, our pets/our similar love for animals =P We even played a Would You Rather game with eachother through a lot of the messages, he still asks a few now and then when he has them, but I don't have any good ones left atm! lol. We send eachother videos we like (funny animals, people, shocking videos, shows, music videos, anything that we like.) I actually got him to like Country music more =P lol We even talk about really serious stuff too. He now knows my dream proposal =P lol. It's a rather unsual, creative one =P He asked me how I would want my wedding to go like. Where I would want to live (he even looked up real estate in where I said lol, I did too.) He asked me if I wanted kids or not...I said I didn't (I know he does want them a little bit, so I was worried about answering that particular question), but he said it was okay and not something he would break up with someone over, so that was a huge weight off my shoulders! He wants to meet, but I'm not sure I'm ready (for the reasons you listed). He says that's okay and is willing to wait until I'm ready. His family knows about me...my sister and best friend know about him. (i'm still not sure how happy my parents would like this whole thing

I have a friend that has found her true love online. They even got married and live happily ever after. But I think this is a one-in-a-million chance! I think it usually leads to a false understanding and people can cheat online. You can never be sure that a person is really and exactly the one that he/she describes online.

I'm on the rebound and I think an on-line love might be interesting. But I'm also wondering_ what if I find someone I want to meet? I have no experience with this new wave of romance. *This is a side-topic question*_ if you use one of those on-line dating websites_ you are still limited to the people who live near you, correct? Otherwise how can the relationship become, well, real? Because I can't imagine finding anyone to love in the city I live in. I'm serious.

IMHO... it is possible to find real love online. But because so many people are out for only themselves, it's hard to find REAL people. Before I have ever trusted anyone online... I have had to include them in my Real Life more. I think you need to do more than just exchange emails though. You need to see each other on cams, talk on the computer (Skype or voice chat) and make phone calls. I have a group of friends I meant thru a game site and we have all talked on the phone, have group voice/cam chats and mailed things thru snail mail, before finally meeting in person. In that group of friends, I know quite a few who fell in love. Unfortunately, they didn't do all the things I said... and it turned out to not really be real (the single girl was a married woman, the cute guy was an ugly hag who just needed money). It is extremely easy to fall in love online... but its just as easy to screwed.

Well it's hard to say whether it's possible or not. It all depends. Kinda destiny thing, ain't it? If became very close to a guy on the internet and you feel like that's love, but when you meet each other you began to live together, you'll find more problems than happiness. Because on the internet, you don't have to worry about something that you have to face in the reality. That kind of love may only exist online. But there're still many people who make online love real and many eventually married. It's really hard to explain the phenomenon. But just remember your Mr.Right or Mrs.Right will find you if time is right. Have a nice day!

Well my Dad met his wife kinda the same way and they have been going strong for years! I think it can work but not always will.

Many people have and I think love can go anywhere if u just let it. It's all about taking chances but i strongly disagree with the idea

Hi there! in my own opinion yes it is possible to find a real love online. At first you could say that it is hard or impossible to do so but when you find someone online then you will have a constant communication then it is not possible to feel something special for that person and its very wonderful to think because one can't imagine how it is exciting to feel someting towards the person who is in another world without seeing him in person. So, it would be more exciting when you get a chance to see him personally. However, in order to know more about that person one has to show his/her real self, to that person even through letters or any online or cyber communications.

I think it's possible to find love online. In the beginning, fronts are put up as a sort of protection of making sure the person isnt crazy or out to get you. There are obviously a lot of crazy people today, and you always have to look out for yourself. However, I think after a while, if you can open up to people and they start to know the "real you", its definitely possible to fall in love online. As you say, once you've exchanges 100 emails with someone, you have to at least know a little about someone. Even if they are lying about one thing, something else is truthful, you just need to be decipher between the two. Having someone that you can share the everyday routine with is part of what you want though, if its oly fun during exciting times, its not going to work in the long run. I like sitting on the sofa playing Xbox360 just as much as I like going out for annversary dinners. I dont forget what has drawn m to my bf in the first place, I make it a point to think about it on a regular basis(that and we still act the way that we did in the beginning). I didnt meet my boyfriend online, but we were set up on a blind date and I literally knew nothing about him(and my friend refused to tell me, she wanted me to go into it with no pre-conceived notions) and we've now been togther 2 years.

yes it is... after some time u will find out that this guy is good or not for u.... if u feel something new in your body and soul u will arrange meeting and see how it goes and than its much more easyer....

I do think it is possible. I met my husband through a free dating site. I was just looking to meet new people, to date, get know folks. I had not intended on anything serious at all happening. I had just ended a very tumultuous marriage and I just wanted to broaden my horizons, meet some new people who didn't live where I do. It seemed at the time that all the local guys I was meeting weren't worth the time of the few hours I spent on a date with them, let alone even nurturing a friendship. My now husband lived an hour south of where I do. He was funny and pretty charismatic. We started a long distance relationship, and after 6 months of dating, he moved up here and we shared an apartment. 2 1/2 years later we married, and it's now 3 years since then. It started out as friends, hanging out, getting to know someone else, someone I never would have met otherwise. It developed in to something great. I really think the key was allowing it to take some time. Being honest also is key. You can't lie about how you look or what you think or who you are because eventually the other person will meet you, see you for who you are, and it will all have been a huge waste of time.

Yes I have, we met online, and 3 weeks later met in person when he flew 1600 miles to meet me and spend a week with me. 2 months after we met online I was moving to where he lived. We have been together 3 years, matter of fact, as of today. Three years ago today I pulled up in front of his house. Since we've both been married before and have children from previous marriages, we know what kinda curves real life can send your way. But, we are good together, he can always make me laugh even on the worst of days.

I'm afraid I am another one to blow the "it isn't possible online" theory out of the water. We "met" online in 2001 and celebrate out 4th wedding anniversary this year. Distance wasn't a problem either (didn't make it easy lol) he is American me a Brit and I ended up emigrating! The point is love knows no bounds when it strikes it will get you whenever and wherever. All the lies and deceit that is available face to face is there online and all the love and romance available in your real world is online too. Life and love are what you make them wherever and whenever!

Hello, I suppose it's possible even though I can't see myself falling in love that way. I suppose for some people it is easier because if you are shy, its hard to express yourself when you are with someone, but it's easier to type your feelings online. I agree with you on the everyday routine thing. It's nice to log on and be romantic for a while and then when you want you can sign off and not have to deal with the person. I guess I'm skeptical about what people write, but all those matchmaking sites seem to be making money, so I guess there is love out there for some. Have a great day!

not at all. i dont think it is ever possuble may be a relationship but not love thats for sure. the part where you mention 100 mails to and fro yes thats ok however out of those how many are true and how many false who is to say. what about your daily meets with the person. doing things with each other. what you spend the whole day with other people and when youget on line you start chatting with this person. no i dont think true love is possible

i think its just as possible to find love online as it is in a bar, the library, school, laundry mat or the grocery store. why is it people think online meeting is so very different than face to face meeting? because you can pretend to be someone else? hello? you can do that face to face as well! i dont think that ted bundy came right out and said to those women, hey, yeah.. im a serial killer.. wanna go back to my place?? the internet just affords us with another place in which to met people.. with the perk of meeting people from all over that you ordinarilly wouldntve had the chance to meet in yer own town. my husband.. whom i met in an aol chatroom over 9 years ago.. lived a hundred miles away from where i was at the time. i dare say we wouldntve just simply run into each other at the local convenience store for a "chance" meeting. has it worked out? yeah.. quite well actually. and im pretty sure our 8 year old would agree.
