Do you believe in love on the internet?

I do, let me share my experience.. august, 2006 was at work, bored, turn on the PC log in to yahoo, close my eyes, ini minnies to chatroom, which i want to join in and chat.. fortunately my mouse over NJ, join the chatroom.. waiting for someone to pop and talk to me. SOmeone pop out talk talk bla bla.. and become friends, do the same thing everyday with the same guy at home and at work, friendship becomes intimate, deep and longing ro be with each other.. after two months October to be exact. he came to visit me and meet my parents, propose marriage and wedding NOV. 6.. 3months, 3 years 30 years, doesnt matter when love strikes, meet your soulmate, in short with in 3 months, chatting, 2 weeks to get to know in person, before he goes back we get married.. waited 1 yr for visa and walah... im here with him married for 3 years and still going strong and inlove. thats my hubby. either good or bad, nothing is impossible with internet. thats technology.

Yes, l once fell in love with a lady over the internet and we where dating seriously still on the internet. I got her phone number and she collected mine we were calling ourselves regularly for over eight months. I decided to invite her to my house in lagos one Easther break and she came and to discover that she is older me.l couldn't do anything further with her that night.

one of my friends fell in love with a guy on internet,and marry him.although,the internet is a virtual world,it give us surprise sometimes.everthing has two sides,so it depend on how you handle it .

I never have but I suppose it is possible if someone believes in it and is open to it. Belief is very powerful. We are all friends on mylot and that is a relationship of sorts...I suppose it is possible.

I met one man from Taiwan, the first time we chated through internet, we talked so much, and he talked more about him, he said he was so lonely, and he would come in China to spend his holiday, and he told me that he want to find a girl accompany him to go shopping etc. I refused him, because I think I didn't know and understand him, even his intention. And the internet is so virtual, though it give us channel to know more friends from different countries, but trust on basis of much understanding. so I can't trust the love from internet.

To be honest several days ago I juts met a guy I had communicated with him for 6 months. And my suggestion is that keep the relationship in the vittual world...

i know of people who have met and married people that they have met on the net buyt in the same breath, you have to be pretty cautious when you meet people on the net because there are a lot of weirdos out there.

Hello Norah0804 and welcome to mylot! By your ratings I can see that you are fairly new to this site! Hopefully all is well with your and your life, as for me and my life things are going just great. I really thought that your discussion was very interesting and I know that I can shed a little light on the subject. Yes I have met people off of the internet. But never have I once feel in love with any of those individuals. Sometimes internet dating can be very very dangerous and I know this from personal experiences. Recently I have had a daughter! My daughter's father and I are seperated. So we both are seeing other people. Well I gave this guy my number and ofcourse anytime you give someone your number more and most likely they are going to give you a call. Well he did just that. He called and talked for awhile. A little over a month we had been talking and staying up late talking on the phone. He finally asks me to go out on a date with him and I agree. Our date was okay and we started to date regularly. Well after awhile he started to become controlling telling what I could or could not do. Seeing that I am my own woman and am very opinionated I tried to be nice about it and let him know that he can't control me! Well after warning him things started to get really heated and he actually walked over my house early in the morning and was stalking me and my daugther. When I called the police he would run and hide but return back once they had left. I finally got charges pressed against him and he is locked up for meancing. It have got completely worse. So now I do not internet date for the sake of my daughter! Well Norah0804 with that said NakitaLikely3617 is out. Until next time be safe and be blessed!

I've met people on the internet and share common interests with them, but that's as far as it goes. We hear so many scary stories nowadays about kidnapping, murder and stalking, that I'm a bit weary about starting a romance with someone I've met only on the internet. I know there are "success" stories, but it's not for me.

Hi Norah: i have never done this before even if i must admit that i have tried to meet some persons using the internet and that's because, as you have said, there's a big wall between reality and the internet but at the same time i have known some good love experiences like this here in mylot so it's possible that you find love using the Internet, why not? If both persons really share their feelings they can fall in love of each other and eventually be a formal couple. Thanks for opening this discussion. Have a nice day.

This is very common on the internet , anyone who has tried dating online will agree with me that it's just trial and error like in normal dating but without the extra baggage of telling someone off when you don't feel them anymore. This degree of freedom has allowed people to jump bases ..there is less care about what another person feels , there is less care about intimate details apart from scoring online (which I think is super lame). So Norah , the next time you meet someone online , I think it's wise to ask them point blank what their intentions with you are ... If they give you a rubbish response , ignore them and continue with what you were doing. I think there are more losers on the internet than anywhere else ... I prefer meeting people offline in the real world in order to experience what kind of person they really are. Hope I have enlightened you a bit .. lol :)

hiii i think its just a waste of time and i don't think so that anyone would fall in love with other over the internet just chatting.... its just a work of ideal persons

I do believe love can be found anywhere, but real love on the internet is somewhat rare. There's just so many seedy or scammy dating sites these days, its hard to find something reliable.

I think it is ok to find a guy on line, but if want more intimate relationship, the two should meet and begin to know each other more detailed. internet is just a way, like a match-maker, but if you fit each other, that's not decided by the internet. I have some friends who fall in love with another one meeing online, that's ok, but they need to know more about the other before falling in love.

No. I do not believe that is truly possible. I think it is the person that one plays online. It is almost fictional in a fairy tale world. I know people who have gotton married this way. It is not for me. That is just my opinion. I do not believe in it at all!

Yes, I do believe love on the internet. I also believe that love have comes in many ways in different walk of life, times, and date

No,I have not met such a person on the internet. Frankly speaking, I agree with you in a certain degree. I can't believe in the people on the inthernet throughly. Because there are so much uncertainties on the people who you have never met. Of course, we can't deny that there is possibility for people to make good friends on the internet, even fall in love. However,I think we should be alert when we surfing on the internet in case of being cheated or hurted.

i believe in love on the internet before ,but now i cannot trust it again ,as you said ,internet full of lots of uncertain factors.you don't know the person actual is on the internet.i once like a boy by chating on the internet ,then we meet on the daily life ,he become my boyfriend ,but we just get together about two month ,because i found i cannot understand him most of the time ,so i give up .now i don't believe internet again.

I do, many of my friends and relative married and have a good husband and wife it all started in internet relationship. I think its all depend on how you deal with internet relationship. But for me i prefer in reality life... it more romantic and more meaningful.

I know at least one person who has met her husband online so it is possible to find love on the internet. I have tried online dating but haven't gone on any dates yet, so I think it's takes time and patience.
