fall in love online

I met my husband online - I was 17 and he was 19. We got married last year after 6 really happy years engaged. We spoke online for a few weeks and then he started to call me on the phone. We didn't meet straight away because we lived in two different cities, 200 miles apart - back then the trains were much slower too so it took around 5 hours to make the trip, not to mention that it was super expensive. After three months we met for the first time and even before that we were in love with each other and expressed it openly. Just because we didn't meet face to face right away didn't matter - the magic between us was there and we both felt like we had found the person to spend the rest of our lives with. So in essence, I do believe you can fall in love online - providing that everything is real. Unfortunately you hear a lot of stories these days about people having different names, different lives and lots of skeletons in their wardrobe - but I guess I was lucky. A lot of people used to ask if my age had anything to do with it, with the suggestion that young people claim they fall in love when really it's just lust. This probably happens too - but we are both very mature for our age and if it hadn't have been love, we would not be the happily married couple we are now.

You call it naive because you haven't experienced it. I understand your situation. I thought falling in love with someone you met online is cheap, but when the day it happened. You'll find it amazing that there will be someone whom you'll met that will change your life. There was this guy that I met online. All I can say is that he is the one that I had been praying for. Indeed, I found love in a hopeless place.

Ahem, I would first like you for telling me that I'm naive. You know NOTHING about me and therefore have NO right to pass judgement on me or how I feel! I met a man online in 2010; we moved in together and are planning to marry. We love one another very much and that's what matters, not what you or anyone else think. And just for your information-we're both in our forties.

Yeah, it can happen, but not on the internet alone. What I mean is, I met my partner online, we were both part of a huge forum for Filipino-Chinese Community. We were friends there together with a lot of other people. When I was scheduled to fly to his city for work, we decided to meet together with other community-mates. After meeting, we just hit it off I guess and became good friends who talk constantly on the phone about business, strategies and such (not about cuteness or flirting at all). Met several times because of my job and finally saw something and became us after a few years. I guess it could happen but it should not be the only means, one should meet first before you could really say that you truly feel something and not just out of words and 'expectations'. We've been together then for 7years now. I don't really think that people who fell in love online are naive. Perhaps they just 'felt' something there. Perhaps their imagination of this person became so vivid that they only see the person for whatever he/she says and no longer asked to know more. Remember that we have a lot of senses, sense of sight, hearing, feeling, taste, smell, touch, etc. we need to use them in order to truly see what we feel is real. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

I think fall in love online is something not serious. But I have friend who fall in love with a boy thru internet and they're married now. And they're seem happy.

I don't think it necessarily naive. People can be predatory offline as much as online. In some ways, I think falling in love online is purer in a way, since it can be based on ones thoughts, ideas, etc., and not start off based on how one looks. Aren't our thoughts more indicative of who we are than the mere vessel in which our essence is contained? Sure, there's a risk, but there's always a risk, either offline or online.

There is a right way, and a wrong way to do it. I met my husband on line. However, we were not looking for love when we found eachother. We met through a writing group, not a dating service. I am not keen on the idea of dating websites, but I won't judge everyone who uses them either, since love can happen, or it may not. It all depends on the people. Don't judge something you've never experienced! Am I naive? My husband and I have been married for five years, together for almost 8, and things are fantastic!

love can happen at any place . For me love is understanding if someone can understand your feeling love can happen it doesnt matter if you met that person through internet or wherever.

When I was young, I had a pen friend. He was 16, I was 13.We shared every day stuff and I cut out jokes from the papers and magazines to send him. He was from India and a really nice chap. I would look forward to his letters and get very excited when one arrived. My family began to tease me. By now, I was 16 and he was at University studying to become an engineer. Our letters were long and we had got to know each other, not just by what was written but by what was not written. There was warmth and affection in our letters but no talk of love or any other sort of relationship. Round about me being 16, I fell in love with a boy who worked nearby and circumstance meant that I lost touch with my friend. We re-connected later and I still felt just as close to him but his circumstances had also changed. I think it is possible to fall in love when you dopn't actually meet the other person but I think that an actual meeting, and talking, even the smallest mannerism could mean there was no chemistry and that would change things. Therefore, I believe "falling in love online" is a fantasy and the reality could be something else again for most people.

I found my husband on the internet and we have been married for 3 years. I don't think you have be naive to fall in love online, but I think it is important to have a realistic approach to online dating. Sometimes you get along really well online, but when you meet in person you discover that you aren't attracted to eachother. It is possible to find love online, I know that from experience, but I also know that it is easy to get disappointed. Sometimes you get really surpriced when you meet in real life, and the person that you thought that you knew from the internet doesn't exist, but fortunately there are also many success stories.

I believe it is possible. I know several people who have had successful relationships that started online. It depends on the people. While I have not had nay romantic relationships, I had defitely had good friendships that started online. After all the people behind the keys are real, and the good ones will tell teh truth about who and what they really are.

I met my husband online and yes we fell in love online. I am not naive nor am I am dumb. I have a Master's Degree and am an excellent student. We have been married almost 5 years and have been together for 8 years. I love my husband very much and I would never trade my life for anything in the world. I have known several people who have met online, fallen in love and are married. One of my friends has been married almost 9 years. I am not sure where you get your information from.

I guess its because we feel empty inside and we find fulfillment in other person who meet online. I'm not really against people falling in love online but for me the best way to fall in love is not online but offline. I mean like going out etc. Not like okay I have a bf or gf but I never meet him or her before just online. Come on,

i also feeel that to be a little wierd but one of my cousin brother have married a girl cuoples of months ago and she is adorable, a really sweet girl, really nice by nature....intially i found that to be a little FILMY in the begining but i was really pleased by meeting her and is more like a friend to me not my SISTER IN LAW. SO i guess this do work for some people and i feel you really requires a great luck for something like that as i have also heard of some unhappy stories in the same matter

Why not? People are people on the internet or down the street. When there is a meeting of hearts, you don't have to be in the same room physically. My son met his wife on the internet and they fell in love. They just celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary yesterday.

I don't have such experience but love can happen at any time at any place. I don't think people who fall in love online as naive. There is always pros and cons as well as risk to fall in love online or not. Sometimes we questioned it how they can fall in love to someone they never meet but its all about feeling.(^^)

HI therecairalyssa, Well in my opinion i think that there is nor wrong or right place to fall in love, I mean if internet was just the medium then it was just a tool to connect two people to fall in love it might be something out of the ordinary but i think nothing is impossible when it comes to love.

I don't believe in someone who want to find love on the internet, because on the internet he/she could say anything and he/she could have lied. If already know the truth,we would feel very disappointed in exceed of the lover who lie in real life (IMO)

Yes,I agree with you ,love will suddenly happen sometimes.In my opinion, love through internet is not an easy thing, will face a lot of testing.I also have similar experience when i was young, i was really naive then.

Yeah, falling in love on the Internet is very magic and full of challengue.First of all, you will be of difficulty in getting true information from others even his/her recent photo.Secondly,you could not get to what his/her purpose or their reaction to you? Take my experience as an example. I luckily meet with a girlfriend on the Internet.So we chat with each other for any subjects on QQ.and then we exchange mobile phone number with each other shortly. Most of important, we communicate with each other via short messenger, phonecalling happily and esaily. But when I propose to make an appointment with her, none could imagine her answer.She takes a blind a eye to my sincere invitation with the only word"I have my boyfriend".The moment that I feel all the more sad. So I think that love on the Internet is virtual.
