It all started with genre love story in the movie "You Got Mail".. where Meg Ryan develops a fruitful relationship with Tom Hanks through e-mail courtship. This has happened several times already, some relationships last and some don't. The only issue is the physical and the confrontation part of courtship is deleted, sometimes, deceit starts with the misrepresentation of the photos in the profile. Whatever the start when the relationship prosper it becomes the "ends" of the endeavor no matter the "means".
Do you really think that true love can blossom through the internet? Do you believe in love at first chat? What do you think?

it's hard to say...but it's really has...generally, we can nnot find our real love in the internet, almost all the websites for love are cheating on you but you can find some real site that you can register for finding love...but for me i rarely go that site to find love cuz i feel they are all unreal, and can not believe...but i heard that there still are people find ture love in the cyber space and even more get a better life...fall in love at first chat, i dont think so cuz we can not know well each other, we can not certify that the personal info. are real...to know a lot someone just meet each other

i wanna believe that there is such thing as e-love after all. with all honesty, i am in a relationship that started in the chat room. and i know that he is being sincere to every word that he says. and very soon we are getting married. he proposed traditionally(altho it was only in the webcam), he talked to my parents asking for their blessings and he talked to my 2 little girls that he wanted to be their daddy. so i can say that i believe in e-love after all.

I think a relationship can start from online chatting.Because i got few friends meet their girlfriends online and some progress into more serious relationship and few end up marry and having a family currently. I think internet love is bound to happen at this age of communication technology and advances in communication made far places closer and easilier with webcam and such.

I do because I already experience it, not to me but to my brother in law were in he finds a partner through internet and all the way from a far country she travelled here for him and asked the parents of my sister for their permission to get married. She'll be back to her country because she has a job to do but will file a petition for my brother in law to be with her on their country together.

yes i do. in fact, i can also happen on texting on a phone. love can blossom anywhere, because the most important factor that triggers it is the fact that you found someone you're looking for.

Yes, actually, if it were not for the internet, I would not have gotten to know my boyfriend better.
The thing is, my boyfriend and I met in person before we met online, and to top it all off, he and I actually had mutual friends before we got together, so things really did work out.
If you just meet a person online, and don't meet them in person, or didn't meet them in person first, well, you really don't know who you are meeting behind that computer. You could be meeting someone who isn't who you really think they are. This person could be lying to you about who they are. You have to be very careful when you are having an internet relationship.

Yes I believe it happen in the internet love affair as of this days. I have a friend who is really inlove still to his gf which they are now almost 4 2years in relationship. That is possible as long as they understand each other. As long as they still have their communication even they are at long distance of places. I really believe.

For me it is defend of the person but there's many problem about it because you don't know everything about the altitude that's why many married are broken now a day's.

i think so. the internet is just a medium that makes it easier for people to meet. once a couple meets in person it's up to them to develop the relationship. At the end of the day the success of the relationship depends entirely on the couple and not on the internet.

perhaps because my cousins and friends found their love of their life in the internet its a matter of trust and loyalty for each and everyone.

Possible and will happen once in every one million similar event. This is meaning that it will be hard to get one since through the internet, people can hide their identity and easy to not being honest while in contact towards each others. We don't know the other part which we contact which suppose to be female but in real life, they are male. And also, we don't know of their background, perhaps, terrorist who want to gain advantage through emotional agenda to slip through. By the way, if you already met the person and exchanging emails as contact if far apart from each others, it's believable and trusted. Perhaps can be as going to get better and may proceed towards emotional bond.

Yes, I know that true love can develop through the internet. I have a few friends both male and female that have found their life's partner through the internet and are now raising children and living relatively happy lives. Each started with a serious interest and pursued it in that area. For example, a female acquaintance of mine connect to christian chat forums and christian singles chat. That was about 10 years ago, today she is married to a man that relocated to where she lived and they currently are raising two beautiful and well adjusted children. One of my close friends met a woman in a different country and courted her for about two years and went to her country, married her and about two years ago brought her home. She is also adjusting well and is working and they are enjoying their lives getting to know each other and making plans for the future. The internet is simply another environment where like other communities many things are possible.

Love may blossom thru internet if you share common interests, compatible in many things and you have physical attraction to each other. Sincerity and respect to each other is also important. I dont really believe in love at first chat, it maybe seldom to happen

You only mentioned the word "REal" if everything is real i mean the thoughts they share and photos they share and opinions they exchange is real then there is every possibility that u can develop a real love affair...!!but let me make it clear that its impossible...!! coz at some other point either of them will give false statement to impress other..!! This is hard core fact

Yes it can. I've seen it and felt it many times. Though one has to be careful because over the internet its a lot easier to be who someone else wants you to be than yourself so you could be changing for them then when you get together in real life it goes bad quickly. Or they are completely crazy/lie about age/looks. But a lot of people have met and fell in love online and it has worked out nicely for them.

It happened many times before and is still happening at the moment. But I don't believe in 'love at first chat' (?) that's almost impossible. To really fall in love by the Internet you need a very good reason to like the person. You should get to know him/her really well, and it takes a lot of time for that to happen.
