Your views on online romances?

In my youth, I had my fair share of blind dates. As you know, girls never went out alone, so the boys had to act in pairs in order to split up the girls. Hence the blind dates! Now with the Internet, it's all blind dates. You would never be sure that the picture you're seeing is the girl, or IS a girl! I wouldn't recommend online romancing and I'm glad that I'm old enough to be past all that nonsense!

I've experienced this but the procedure is not the same as you think. in my case i met this girl in the net and became friends using online chat for months then still after how many months we are still friends and we don't even have love, pure friendship and i enjoyed talking to her so we decided to meet and then the love starts after we have met. but in the case of online love as in pure picture and pure video cam only then got in love? i don't believe in it...

Internet relationships or meeting people from the internet is no different from meeting someone anywhere else. It's just another communication media. It has no structural or inherent effect on the relationship itself or how it pans out. The foundation of any relationship is still the connection and communication of two people and therefore the flaws or benefits rest SOLELY in the people involved. Any concern, danger or problem that can arise from meeting someone online is EXACTLY the same as anything that can happen in person. The only minute thing that the internet can allow is for people to post fake pictures, but even then it's a fairly rare occurrence and ultimately boils down to one thing. Liars lie and they will do so no matter where you meet them, how you meet them or how you communicate with them. As with meeting strangers in public, there is a certain degree of awareness, caution and wariness that should be taken with each new person until such a time when you feel comfortable that they are genuine. And even then, how many times have you heard that some psychopathic, sadistic serial killer gets caught and their spouse, family and friends never even had a clue what they were? So meeting in person is not some magical shield against bad people, nor is meeting online automatically "fake" or dangerous.

Well, I have nothing against online romances. But we still have to be discreet dealing with people. Online meeting or or whatever we may call it still like knowing a total stranger. He/She may be kind or polite or in good character while chatting online, communicating online, but still not assurance that he/she is the real he/she. Chatting is like the old system of penpal writing/meeting. We never have discover the real character, or the real identity of a person. But nothing against it for some people luckily meet true persons and become the source of their happiness. Probably, someone must just have to be aware of what is the reality and be careful in identifying an online friend. Nothing is wrong to befriend with someone, it always starts with a little knowledge about that person and soon will prosper if you really meant to be in a romance stage.

I met my husband online and it was a great experience. I lived in California and he lived in Idaho. I had made the move to Idaho and made the right choice. we dated online for eight months then I came to Idaho for a two week vacation in 2004 and have not left. Meeting my husband was a great experience and I am so glad that I met him. We dated a year and half were engaged for a year and a half and got married in 2007.

I once had an experience of these "cyber romance" when I was in college. It wasn't exactly love. It was more of an infatuation. He was a Norwegian. We had that romance going on for a year. He told me he'd come visit me but I got scared. He may be nice online but really, I barely know him. Saying nice things on cyber space is one thing. Having an actual conversation is another.

i do not really advice relationships online. it is still better to get to know a person when you meet face to face. you would be able to observe that person that way and by that i mean even if you talk to a person 24 hours online that still won't be enough to get to know a person for who he/she truly is.

I can't say it's something i would like to try out for myself. But that being said i think it's a great idea. i think it puts people in touch with people that would have never otherwise met. That could be the quickest and simplest way to find your perfect match or lost lover possible. I think its great that people who have nevr known love have found their soul mates via the internet.

I don't think I'd ever try to look for a mate on the internet.I believe in meeting people the old fashion way.In person.Atleast when you meet someone in person and you've known them for a while you know what you're getting yourself into where as on the internet you could be talking to someone for a long time and not know what is to be expected when you meet them they could be totally different.But I am not saying it is impossible I am sure their are people that find their soulmate on the internet like your friend.

You can find things in any place so i think love can be found that way . This is not about a question about if someone online you met is fake or not . I mean if you really have some real intentions to someone you will eventually both feel it and will met somewhere or already know each other ;) So there is the other thing that in this life (in the era we live) the distance between people is great we can be so far from each other but we connect online , so because its internet we cant have our romance ... nah i dont think so .
