Yes, i talk with some people whom i know only on internet. But that is only for friendship. I don't think that it is healthy to marry a person whom you know only through internet. It is dangerous. We can't say that how long will it be lasted. We have no guarantee that the details that they are given is true or not. What is the need of taking risk then?????????

I have made friends over the internet and things stay there. I have not found love there. I believe in online love, although, I think it has the slightest probability of blooming into a full real love. It is only the avenue where people meet and if they really want to pursue that person, they have to make an effort to meet up in person because whether we like it or not, it won't work if all things are done online. True love will never be realized if you are not together. It can never be called real love if you have never experienced things with that someone. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I believe that if two people are meant for each other they will get together and hopefully stay together no matter where they meet. Nowadays online dating and friendships are extremely popular but I think it is still only by meeting in person that one can truly know if it is real love and not just by talking to a machine! Online is an enjoyable way of meeting people and I have very good friends I met via the Net but in regards to romance I would need to take it one step further! I don’t think it’s a bad way of meeting prospective partners provided adequate care is taken in regards to safety if planning to meet face to face.

i think online relationship or love online is one of the hardest part but it is materialize depending on the two person engage in that relationship.
There is no real perspective in every relationship whether it is online or not. The reality is that differences should be set aside to avoid any discouragement.

If they are not artificial in their chatting...may be theres a chance. It is very difficult to say. You have just got to trust your luck.

I believe that someone out there can fall in love with anyone and anything. I heard a guy get married to a character in his nintendo ds game. I heard people who are obsessed with cartoon characters who only exist in media and not in the reality world. I heard a person who fell in love with someone online without even knowing what the other person looks like. It can hard to tell the difference between truth and lies but I make my own judgements whether I believe something to be true or not.

I dont say its impossible but it would really depend upon the 2 persons involved. They would have to really be 2 straight forword honest people to really know someone online. Sometimes in person when you met someone they hide things about themselves. It takes a long time and very much time to get to know someone how much more so for online.

I have fallen prey to online love several times. I have heard of several people where this has worked. Sure it is a real love! Why not. It is just long distance. Still humans with feelings and characteristics people like and fall for. Yes, I believe in online love! People are people and have feelings whether online or not.

Hi meesaradee! I believe it is possible to fall in love with
someone that you meet online because I know people who have!
I never have met and fallen in love with anyone so far online,
but I have met some wonderful people who have become very close
friends that I speak to offline now too! I don't know how I
got along all these years without the Internet! It has opened
up a "whole new world" of friendships that I would never have
had.

Do I believe in it? Depends on what you mean. Do you mean do I believe that some people fall in love, and have a great marriage, after meeting on the internet?
The answer to that is yes. I know of about a dozen different people who have met online, fallen in love, got together, dated, got engaged, married, and now have a great family. Not perfect, no such thing. But a good marriage nonetheless.
But, do you mean do I believe in online love, that I myself can fall in love with someone I meet over the internet?
No, not a chance. I have to meet you. I have to see you. See how you live. What your family is like. What your morals are. How you deal with the good, deal with the bad, and what you want in life.
I can't get that over the internet.
Some people say that meeting over the internet is better, because you learn who the person is, as opposed to what they look like.
To some extent, that's true. But at the same time, you can say absolutely anything, and I have no way of verifying it. Look at your avatar photo. Is that you? Maybe, maybe not. There are millions of photos on the web, from all over the world. It would be nothing to copy a photo from someones blog, or facebook, and put that as my avatar, and how would you know either way?
You wouldn't. Not for certain. And I know people who fell in love online, and when they met face to face, they were completely different than who they claimed to be online. Broken hearts.
So yes, there are some who find love online, and more power to them. As for me, not going to happen. Not till I meet you eye to eye, and see that you are who you are, and not who you claim to be. So give me an address, and we'll meet up for lunch or something. Until then, no falling in love for me.

I think it's possible to feel real attachment to someone online, but I don't think I would label it love until the two people have met and really gotten to know eachother in person. I had a friend who I met online and if I didn't talk to him every day I felt a big hole in my life. But online you don't get the entire picture of the person, so it's hard to take things any further without really meeting the person and spending time with them.

When a person meets someone on line he or she does not fall immediately in love. In this kind of attraction they merely see a prospect of falling in love. Love at first sight does occur, only if you have an image of the person in your mind you would want to spend the life with. If you happen to meet someone in that images you think you have fallen in love. Whereas it is not love, it could be just an infatuation, which may develop into real love at some point of time. Only after two persons have lived together, they have shared moments of joys and sorrows with each other they develop a liking to each other to an extent that they cannot do without each other. The time they begin to miss each other then only you can say they are truly in love.

I have seen it happen more than a couple of times. My sister met her husband on the internet and they have been together for about 13 years and are still very much in love. Also my sister in law met her husband on line as well and they have been married for about 4 years and things seem to be going really well. I do believe it can work because on line you spend a lot of time getting to know one another on a mental level and it is not all truly physical. So they know each other really well before they get physical. On the other hand it is hard to know exactly if it is love until you actually meat as you need to be physically compatible as well. But I believe on line love can be a great start.

I suppose anything is possible these days with so many people having access to the Internet. I suppose the real test would be when the couple eventually met up in person and got to know each other that way. I think that everyone is different and we all take to these things differently.
There has been a lot of news regarding scams online that involve one member acting the part of a potential lover and then the other party was scammed out of thousands of pounds. This isn't always the case but I suppose a lot of research needs to be carried out to ensure that there is some kind of trust between both parties. Andrew![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

People can meet online and then meet in person and given time then sure things can work. I think some people including some on here live in dream land. They say hey are in love with people and yet they have never met the person, i mean actually stood in front of them, and they also haven't spent time with them to see if a relationship can really work. Until you spend that time together then how can it be called love? That word is used too easily by too many people.

I think it is possible to get in love online as some of our friends here have. But personally, I don't think I'm going to get myself involve in such thing. Though many people here have found their love ones through net, I don't think everyone can and will. Most people now are faking their identities and it's really hard to know whether someone is telling the truth or not in the internet. A young person can become old, poor become rich, ugly become beautiful/handsome, and vice versa. Also, though some relationships online have succeed, most did not last at all.
Love needs foundation and one of those foundations is the knowledge about each other. Though you might be telling the truth to the person you come to know online, there is no assurance that that person is completely telling you the truth.
