Recently I read an article that a man is real in love with a woman who met on the internet. He saw her on photo only but he says that he will go to her country and will marry her, In fact he says that he is going to divorce because of her. Can this is possible....if he never met her, he just chats with her but dosen't know her way of living or how she really looks. what if she isn't what she really is saying, would you leave everything to search for someone who you met on the internet?

My fiancee and I met online, but we fell in love AFTER meeting in person. I don't know if this is such a great idea considering this person never met the woman. Especially getting a divorce over it and not even knowing if they'll get along well in person. wow. It seems as though their relationship must be rocky if he is considering a divorce at all. Maybe he should do that before having anything to do with this other woman. That could turn into one big mess. Yikies.

I met my boyfriend on the internet too. We also didn't fall in love after we met face to face. I think people who meet on the net should always start off as friends because you won't truly know until you meet face to face and get to know a person properly.

No, it can't be love from just a picture. And I think he is foolish to move to another country for her. We don't know what his marriage is like now, but it is very possible that afterwords, he's going to find that the looks are the only thing good about her. I would not leave everything for anybody, internet or not. You just don't know. Even if your marriage is in a horrible state and you're getting a divorce, I think if you marry like this, you're just asking for trouble.

I agree. I don't think I could love someone from just a picture. Moving to another country might not be the best idea either. Marriage is hard sometimes I know because I am seperated now after 12 years of marriage. I don't think that marrying like this is a good idea at all because you need time to get to actually know the person and their likes and dislikes and beliefs, values,etc... By meeting someone on the internet you don't know much about them and you don't even know if the picture they gave you is really them. I would not recommend this. J

Well, there have been many people who have met online and met and then Married, but how someone can say they are going to Marry someone without ever meeting them is beyond me. Especially to the point where they end up leaving and Divorcing someone to do it as well. All I can say, is I could have never let a guy leave his wife to be with me, as overall that relationship to me stands no chance. But we cannot judge. It will have to be their choice completely.

No gaucii23, it cannot be real love when you meeting someone on the internet as so many false identities are here. If your luck is strong and fair enough than meeting someone on internet may a begining of real love but it will be realised only after meeting with him/her personaly. As for as my case I hardly found good friends on internet so real love far away.

in this world, almost anything could happen. I do believe that real love could build over the internet. we could chat, we could communicate over the internet and communication is a very important way to learn each other. It is possible that we could know each other what kind of person the other is. although there might be disguise involved, it could be true. our world is full of things in disguise anyway. I admit that it is very risky to leave everything behind for the one you only met with over the internet. It is irrational. but love itself is a irrational thing. as for me, I would not leave everything behind to search for my love met only over internet. I ain't that kind of person. I am rational.

Actually there is a form of love that can be found through the dialogue between two people and when it magically happens it is both mysterious and fascinating. You can learn this as an art but you would first have to experience an example of the attraction that can draw you into such a relationship. The real danger lies with the pretenders and that can be a huge set back once you get burned. It would be great to have a mate that you can both be with and write with and care about together as a couple one to another individuals brought together able to overcome any obstacle because your communication skills are so sharp that you move in unison synchronized and flowing like one unit instead of two trying to work together. It does take practice and a lot of luck to have the right person appear at the right time with the right way of reaching out.

Well I really dont know because I haven't really tryed online dating, but Iv been thinking about trying it out but I heard so many different things about online dating some good things and some bad things, but I guess it could be possible to fall in love online after you meet the person and stuff, because Iv heard that some people have excually gotten married after meeting online.

Well, I've met my hubby through an exclusive website and we fell in love after meeting up in person.. i don't think it's right for him to do that.. i mean, he isn't sure yet what the girl looks like in real person or is she good enough or what... you know, what we all see in the internet aren't all true.. yay! you know, that's the craziest thing a man can do!

Well, it doesn't surprise me that some people would do such a thing. Some people are just impetuous and live in the moment, regardless of the consequences. They follow their hearts. Practical people, like myself, would never do such a thing. I could never fall in love with someone I meet online without meeting in person (unless he is Jensen Ackles).

Actually I have already encountered numerous times already these sorts of relationships. Although it might sounds odd but I know a lot of couples who are successful in this kind of relationship. Like for example, my co-gamer in a certain online game meets his partner on that game. They started knowing each other in the game and as time passes by, they fall in love with each other. They were together for more than a year and decided to get married. I just don't know if they were still together now since I was not able to talk to them for a long time now. Anyway, I also met my first boyfriend in an online game, we were together for about two years but things did not work out the way we would like it to be so we broke up. My current partner, I also met him in an online game. We are a year and a alf now and things are going smoothly. So things like these are quite common for me.

i just cant agree on an online love relation, because it is total waste of time, false relations and all wrong people. i remember one of my friend was fooled he met a girl fell in llove, but the girl showed him someone elses photos, and let him meet that girl tell her name. the guy loved the girl seriously, and then one day the girl told him the truth about how ugly she is and she loves him a lot, the guy was in a biggest shock, and i can imagine his condition she just played with his emotions from that time i am like , no no to relations online. i have many examples.

I feel pretty strange when i hear about these stories but yah these are for real and i really dont agree to this because i bind to the fact that you can only love a person unless you know her physically. When you spend some quality time together to know her/his better, it will help you whether he/she is right for you. I find lot of divorce cases even though couples might be knowing each other physically and spending years together to understand the relationship but still end up getting separated after marriage and i cant image to what extent it might lead for the couples who met on internet??

There are many examples called "internet love". Internet may be a media for people to know each other. However, it should be the real world where you can really understand a person. So I believe the internet can provide such a way for you to find your lover.

I think most of it is impossible, If he is not married,then the possibility will be larger. It is clear that man has been a failed marriage, He did not need to rush into marriage.

i don't think so .the two persons may get well on with each other on internet .but when they wil live together under the same house ,they may not be fit each other .because they don't know much about the opposite party very much .and one of them may cheated the other .their aim is not for love but money or other reasons
