hi,everybody.it's my first time to start a discussion here. i really wonder whether people can love a person just by talking on the internet.and become girlfriend or boyfriend some time later. they dont know each other.they dont know their backgrounds,families, etc. maybe they are attracted by their own imaginations of meeting a perfect cool gorgeous guy.perhaps they are lonely . i dont know .but the internet truly make it convenient to know more people. Is their love real or just be beautified ? tell me how you think.......

I think Yes. There's a big chance that you can find true love on the internet. I know a lot of people who's just chatting some guys or girls on the internet and they really fell in love with each other. Now they are happily married and they have kids. but not everybody is lucky enough to find their true love on the web.

yes,i do believe in internet love affair do come true. My neighbor just got married last summer with someone she met thru online chatting. And,i also had one close friend who also had the chance of meeting her online boyfriend in real life,and,they are planning now to settle for good. Internet love is like a long distance love affair. And,thu some cultures and traditions maybe a barrier,it is still love that prevails at the end. We never knew the real truth unless proven. And i can attest to you that,internet love do happens in real life. Have a good weekend and welcome to mylot

yes, i believe that it is possible to find true love on the internet. i personally know of several couples whose relationship developed online. but then again one has to be really careful about online relationships because you really do not know who this person is. there are also a lot of horror stories about online relationships. so proceed with caution.

I know first hand that true love can be found on the internet. My husband and I met in a chat room. We fell in love with each others personalities. We didn't need to know about each others families because we loved each other. Besides, even now that I met his family I cannot stand them and he can't stand mine either so what's the difference if we met them at first or after? I don't really think it would have made any kind of difference. As for the background, we trusted what each other said. We felt it was meant to be from day one. We had no distractions such as physical appearance to get in the way since we had no clue what we looked like... So, we fell in love with what really matters, our hearts! We have been together for over 6 years, we have been married for over 5 years and we have 3 beautiful children together!!! I am SO glad we met and fell in love =) He's the best man in the world for me :)

The first thought is that it's hard to find your true love and more hard to find someone hundred of miles away and when he/she says " I love you!" that may be hard to believe at first but as time goes on you will know that whether it really is true love. Or maybe just another false. They are usually lonely more and they want someone to whom they can share their feeling and pour their heart out to. So they make friends online and one of them might really understand what she/he really wants and might love him. That i believe is a rare case.

i dont think that we can get true love on internet . In real life only we are not able to understand some peoples even if we are together and how can we know that weather the person is telling truth or he is fake. We can even not know how his family background is. i think it can just be an attraction, when they will be together then loose that interest.

Sure people can meet on the internet and even find true love online. I even had such a relation, and when we met, we knowed all about each other, and it was pretty and nice, because we talked on phone, face 2 face, and online. We talked a lot of time on the internet before meeting, but it was a success. But, after a while, we broked up, because each of us was going to another city for studies.

You can find true love anywhere, and internet is one way of finding one. Who knows where to find true love? Who knows who is right for us and the perfect partner for us? I am married and I married a once completely stranger to me. I have no idea about his background, except that he is from the same province where I grew up. It took me a couple of months before realizing that he's the one for me, Oh, he made me realized that. The reasons you've stated could be true but it only means you need someone that's why you are searching. Some love they found through internet work out, some did not. It goes with everything as well. In this life, there's no guarantee. Only hard work to make things work.:-)

Yes, I think it is possible because I have witnessed it myself, two people meeting on the internet, they get married and are now happily married. The internet helps people who are otherwise separated by distance know each other, get together, and find happiness again in their lives. Love happens in the most unexpected places, right? So there.

I think some of us could find their true love on the internet. In some ways, we force to feel love to overcome boredom. We can easily be attracted or attached to a person, even if we didn't know them at all, because of boredom and loneliness we are currently facing. That should be the reason why some of us giving their best to find a mate online. But I believe that all of us have a destined partner. We should only have to wait for the right time for them to come. We will all live happy when that day comes.

And if you can find you really love you no experience, you won't really but do so because the man was so. If the person willing to visit you and enjoy every day when I am with you. Then you will feel happy, you think you really love him/her, don't want to lose him/her. This may be true love. It may be so difficult, because when he/she must leave it will be very sad. But I believe, one day will come, someday you'll have a as long as you keep on that day, whatever, believing that love is to make the impossible and our creator.

i don't realy think so, as u've said, people who felt in love with some one from the net without even seeing then are probably attracted by their own imaginations of a perfect guy. internet relation is very dangerous, u see, you never know what kind of person is hiding behinde the words. some people can be realy good at pretending to be some one else, u won't even notice. i mean, u got people like this around u, and u can't even tell if these persons are lying or not even if they are oin front of u, how can u expects too get to know a person that's I dont know, from the other side of the world.

yeah...people can love a person by just talking on internet...love knows no boundary, limitation, culture, circumstances, appearances or any other barrier u think of...but unfortunately, people exploit and play with other's feelings...i do believe that for true love it is not necessary to be a two-sided affair...but inorder for true love to have good ending, feelings have to be pure from both sides

It is possible that some people can find their partner on internet. I don't like the idea of searching for love on the net, because i will never get my choice.Though if it will be warrant for someone, in will advise the person to search for his fellow nationalities.

Actually, if you'd be smart enough, you should at least meet the person who you talking to on the internet, something like go out with him/her on a date/coffee/lunch like a couple of times, assess the person if she/he fits the bill. This kind of thing isnt new anymore. Even on cellphones, these kind of things do happen. Although just be smart, who knows you're talking to some maniac/freak on the internet and you ended up loving someone that would destroy your peaceful life.

Well it depends upon person to person, place to place and circumstances. Some people do get true love here. but mostly virtual Love is prevailing here.But the gud thing here is, that ones gets chance to share his/her views openly and discuss them with others.So u get a chance to explore yourself and know other person .and moreover you have many choices to make. So the whole Story is that its matter of Just good luck to get true love here on net. So keep trying and have a Nice day

Hi kikivc, I had never believed there are true loves on the internet, till my colleague married with her net-friend. On her wedding, all of us said they are so match like made in heaven. Now she has a baby and has a happy life. Then I change my opinion on this. Perhaps, there has your Mr/Mrs Right on the internet. Just depends on the fate. good luck to you.

Well,I do beleive that will happend, but not only chat on line, as time gose by they will get to know each other more by more, like web cam can tell their face, vist can tell about background, just little by little, I believe people can fall in love in this way, all they need is the special feelling for each other...
