Well, I remember when internet first became popular I was in the 8th grade or so. I remember when people said don't meet anyone off of the internet, that is bad and etc. Well, I was in 10th grade and I met a guy the same age in my same city from the computer and it wasn't that bad. We never got to be in a relationship because of other reasons but ten years later we are still good friends and I consider him a really good friend. I met another guy a little over a year ago on a dating website and we had different views on the dating thing but he is like my best friend and I come home and he is there waiting for me.
So do you believe that you can find true love on the internet? Is it worth taking a chance just to meet new people? Is there a time-limit in talking on the phone first? HAve you met your present spouse/mate on the internet?

I can say is, love comes into two connected persons online or offline. We talk about internet relationship, I believe it happens and it's true that they develop and falling in love with each other if they are always communicate. As I know, love develops in saying those sweet words and appreciations to each other. Even they cannot meet yet face to face love grown in their hearts until they realized they fall to each other and got married at the end. Lucky! to those who are single they can freely and easily get married to their online partner but sufferings to those married already that fall inlove with their cyber friend or chat friend. It really hurt to them coz they don't fulfill their desire. But lucky because they still feel the magic and wonderful power of love.

I agree with you. I can honestly say when I am online talking to people I am more honest with them and myself and I feel better. When I actually meet a person in real life I am always wondering if I am going to say the wrong thing. I hope I meet the right person online that way I can be honest from the begining

It's really possible - the real love is based on speach, shareings and things not always connected with physical contact. I know people that get married starting their relationship on MSN.

Communication is a big asset in a relationship. I feel like I can communicate better online than in person sometime. So when I finally meet that person from online I am already connected.

that can happen. meeting true love online. but be sure to know that person first before going out with him alone or whatsoever because it might be dangerous. but meeting with someone you just met on the internet is just okay. just be careful.

How can you tell if someone is dangerous or not. Anyone could say anything online that is what confuses me. I was watching some show could predator or something and these old men were coming to a teenagers house to try to get some and they ended up getting caught. How do you know what you are really setting yourself up for..

Hi there Flirtykumquat! I do believe that we can find true love over in the internet because my fiancee now we started in getting to know each other in a dating site and we haven't imagined that our relationship will really go this far. Yes I can say that it's worth trying to meet and greet people over in the internet and it's normal that at first you have to be careful but as soon as the days go further of your getting to know each other you can be competent and trustful to each other. I don't think there's really a time-limit, if it really mean to be it will just happen and everything will be in the proper time and place.

Congratulations to you and your fiancee! I do believe that people can find love on the internet. As I stated earlier I found my 2 best guy friends online and I do wish I could be with one of them but he lives so far away.

Online dating website is a thriving business. Which means that there are a lot of people that benefited from it. Proof to this is the increasing number of Foreigners marrying Filipinas. Most of them were only introduced online and they end up getting married. I can't really tell for sure if true love is involved but it's for the couple to tell.

Oh dear, i can relate to this discussion wholeheartedly.
I met my hubby in a social site.We were friends first and then fell in love.
It's been a long distance relationship for two years and right now we are on our third year.She cannot relocate yet as there are many complications but its in our plans. I love her very much and we been through a lot of hard times, lately we broke up and i thought its the end of it. But she came back to me and said we can do it again , hoping for the better.
On our third year..that's really an amazing online love affair.

Congratulations but I do have a question. How can you be certain your in love with a person that you can't spend your entire time with? I remember I met a couple of people in like 3 states over that I knew if I could get to know them that something would be there but I couldn't take the chance because I couldn't move and neither could the other person.

I hear a lot of people meeting online and finding true love. I have friends who have friends that met their spouses by way of dating web sites, chat rooms, etc. However, I also hear a lot of horror stories regarding online meet-ups. Personally, though, I view the idea of finding true love online with a grain of salt. I believe that trust is the key to establishing a relationship, be it online or otherwise. But how can you establish trust with someone you've never seen and how would you know that who he/she purports to be online is who he/she really is offline. But then again, I believe that love is a lot like lottery, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose and sometimes you hit the jackpot. So if one is looking for love, then hope that you get lucky. And of course if you wish to look for love online, then just be doubly cautious.

Hi! I wouldn't really qualify my relationship with a guy i met through the internet as true love because we weren't romantically involved or even attracted but we have remained really good, dependable friends for almost a year now! We haven't seen each other yet but he plans to move down to the Philippines. So, a relationship that started over the internet can really get real! I think it;s not in the manner of meeting the other person but it all relies on the kind of person he/she may be. :)

actually you can meet different kinds of people through chatting, some just want to play but not all the same, theres still some that used internet as their way of looking a partner in life as they dont have much time to look around as they are busy enough to do that than just stay at home while you can talk to them anytime. most of them are already 40 to 60 years old whose looking for a lifetime partner, lets say companionship but then we really cant avoid those who play so at least we must be aware of it too and not to trust too much. i had a friend who met her husband online, they become friends first then lovers then when they met they got married and so they live a happy life now. the guy is 10 years older than her of course but its alright at least she found a real love.
