Finding love online

December 28, 2010 7:01pm CST
I wonder sometimes if it is still possible to find love online.You hear of different online site where you meet people and you date,i wonder sometimes if it is achievable and worth it sometimes. I meet a girl online once.The picture she represented online was that of a really cute and beautiful girl but when i meet her in person she was so damn ugly and i felt i have wasted 3 months of my time chasing a fraud.If love still exist online please share your comment cause right now i think the reverse is oterwise

Yes I believe in finding love online. It didnt happen to me but I know some stories and see other couple. There would always be a risk in finding love online but you will never know unless you try, ofcourse disappoinment will always be experience but if you succeed in finding the right person for you then its worth all your time. I'll say good luck for all of us! Cheers!

from all your response so far it seems that online love is still possible.I am not pessimistic but i still believe there is a whole lot of fakes out there looking for whom to pounce on and devour,so i will advise caution when dealing with online dating

Search for and find love and life partner according to need patience. Because not all friend dating willing to get married. A relationship must start with friendship that lets you know the good and bad sides of your date.

Sorry, but I have to tell you that your story made me laugh.. Do not expect everything or everyone to be truthful and honest over the WWW. Yes, you were chasing a fraud.:) But, hey, there are other people who aren't as unlucky as you are because they found real love online and some of them really stick to each other regardless of their cultures and family backgrounds. Communication is the key to opening oneself to someone. In the long ran while talking to that person, platonic conversation at first, it can blossomed into something deeper and more meaningful like love. And, yes, it is possible for two hearts who have learnt to be honest and trust each other to build a lasting and strong relationship based on love even if they just meet online.

Finding love online is probably better than finding it in bars, or clubs. People are more likely to be themselves when they converse with you in a more relaxed enviornment like their home.

i have done dating both online and offline. and had good times and bad times with both. i met my ex husband online 5 years ago we were together 4 years got married after the 1st year of being together in the end he turned out to be a liar and a little bit crazy! i left him this time last year! and then in april i started dating someone who i met thru a friend and again he lead me on for over 6months! so the the last 2 guys i was with 1 online and 1 thro a friend offline and both really ended the same! i dont really see and difference with the to. but if i had to pick i think it would be online dating. i find it easier getting to know someone online. feel safer chatting with and getting to know them. and it builds the whole mood up i think so that when you do meet up for the 1st time its sooo great cos you feel like you know so much already. unlike if you meet someone offline then go on a date its a bit hard to get things going.

I have a friend who met a guy on eharmony. They fell in love immediately!! They dated for a year and got engaged and were just married two weeks ago! After hearing her story, I would definetly say that there is love online, you just have to look :)

Ok I think your first problem is that you are too focused on the outside packaging. If you can get along with them online, or over the phone, you will be fine. I just got out of an LTR (7 years) and he wasn't all that good looking but he did have a ton of charm. We met nearly 12 years ago but he hid a lot of important stuff from me (like the fact that he was common-law married). I decided to try online dating, started falling for someone (who never asked me out anyway), went on a few dates and met J. We spent a LOT of time chatting online and hours chatting on the phone. I felt as though I knew him already--although he's not my usual type physically, I still fell hard. My suggestion is that you find someone whose personality makes you smile, even when their looks fade.

Maybe you shouldn't be such a shallow jerk? Maybe then you'd have better luck in general. Yes, you can find love online. The internet is not much different from meeting anyone anywhere else.

I always questioned the on-line dating until someone I know found and married someone through on-line dating. True love has no time table. Sometimes it won't show up until later in life. Who knows where your true love will come from. I guess even on-line dating is possible. Remember, true love tends to show up when you least expect it. Trying to force things never works out.

Yes, it does exist. I've had a 5 year relationship out of that. I think the key is not really to find love online. Let it come to you. I didn't go online before to find love. It just happens - unexpected - that's how love is.
