I think its sometimes true to believe in an online love for a while.I tried to be in one which later proved to be the worse in my life.I was actually dealing with a scammer who claims to be a surviver of a civil war and now in a refugee camp under the guidence of a pastor.I was on pressure to transfer her so claimed money of her father which is is the next of kin.I later learned that I was dealing with some one who doesn't love me but only wanted to grap my money through her alliance with a claimed lawyer of her country of residence.I personally survived from being scammed of my fund though I was scammed of my valuable time.I am now in love with my real country mate,a physical person,not just a computer to computer sharing.I finally came to believe that online love doesn't work for me.What about you?Have you been in one such love?How then are you managing?I want to know.may be my believe is a false one.

There is an old Greek saying which goes simply "Know Thyself". The Bible says the unexamined life isn't worth living.
You need to know yourself. If online relationships do not work for you, then know that about yourself, and do not do them.
I for one, agree with you. I could never fall in love with someone over the internet, simply not going to happen. I need to know who that other person really is. Who they really are. Is this so and so, really who they say they are?
This is very difficult over the internet. Yet I will tell you that some people do just that. I know several married couples that met over the internet and make a great marriage, and a great family. For them, it worked.
Different people are different, yes? You are not me, I'm not someone else. We are who we are. If internet dating is not working for you, don't do it.

I am part of this 3d roll play chat site called Second Life. I have met many people and made many friends there. I have even gotten my real feelings involved as I talk to people in private chat and have gotten to know them. These people that I have talked to all want the same thing as the rest of us. To be able to find that special someone. I have had my heart broken numerous times when we realise that we truly can not be together because of our lives or hoe far apart we live. Can any one fine love online? I say yes they can but we all have to be careful as well because we dont know if the other person is a scamer or worse have a criminal record. I am findng my self having feelings for someone I know online at this point but will never be able to truly be with Him because we live in diffrent parts of the States and are both in positions that neither can travel to live with the other. It hurts but there is nothing we can do.
Hope this helps.

I think it's ridiculous in having relationship via internet. cos I'm the one who has principle do not believe to whatever we see on internet. so though I met very handsome guy, I won't fall in love with him as long as we only have relation through internet. cos I need to know his background, his real life. I can't fall in love with a guy I never met (face to face) before.

I think love can be started online but strengthening it needs time, bonding, togetherness. Sometimes fights will occur it is normal. Hope you can find love
