I have been "in love" one time in my life and that was with a guy that i have never met before :/ My momma says im crazy that theres no such thing but i believe i was and still am. i fell for him hard. talked on the phone every night for 3-5 hours at a time and even texted thru the day. People says i'm crazy but i believe there is a such a thing called "online love" I met him on mocospace dont talk any more dont know what happend guess we grew apart. I didn't call him and he didnt call me. Do yal believe in "online love" or have yal fell in love with someone you have never met? how did your family react to it?

That sounds romantic , I think its possible , no one can tell what you talk about . I think love can be found any where . I am still in love wit a guy I met in a local teen chat room , we stop talking for over two months and when I was in his town one summer I call him and we meet lol and we are now engage . Its such a funny story because we were so different but we just grow together, everyone is amazed that we met so young and still together .

I have met my husband online. But the best way to find true love online is to make sure that you have constant communications. You should be talking to each other everyday, and seeing each other through video chat, so that you can see each other even if you are afar. When we are talking online, he was able to meet my family and they talk to him to. Even if we are already talking online, we still send each other letters.

I know there are some interesting men online but whether I would say I 'believe' in online loves. They usually fall apart. I have heard of a couple women who found their loves on here and are married to them now. For me that didn't happen. I was on a social networking site and came across this great looking guy who lived in the state next door to mine. We became friends on the site and started chatting and then talking on the phone. He seemed to be everything I wanted in a guy. Funny, cute, smart, all the bells and whistles. We seemed to really get along well and he would call me two or three times a day. Then all of a sudden OUT OF THE BLUE he quit calling. When I finally got him on the phone he said I was just too much for mim. He couldn't spend three to five hours of his day on the phone with me. He was blaming me for taking this time out of his day. As I remembered it he would ask if he could call or surprise me. There were times I would ask him when and so forth but I thought that was normal and showed I cared. So anyway I caught him in a lie and we are no more. How did my family react to this? They were sad that I had been hurt. I would be careful and guard your emotions until you have met the guy next time. I sure learned my lesson.

Oh wow i'm so sorry you went through that! I could never get my guy on the phone i tried to call him like 5 months later to see how he was but never got an answer. i thought about him alot and so fourth but we were never a "thing" And i agree i deffniately have learnt my lesson with online dating. He kept saying he would come over but he never did, he lived in alabama and i live in South Carolina so it was a long ride.

Well, I can understand why he couldn't or didn't make it over to South Carolina. It is quite a ways. I just wouldn't take them at their word. Some will say anything.

I met my daughter's father online. I think I thought I was in love with him, but now that I look back on it, I'm not so sure it was really love at that time. I think once I met him in person and we started to be together is when I fell in love. I think that when you meet someone online, you only depict certain things about a person and that person can make themselves appear to be whomever they want you to believe they are. Online dating is extremely complicated for many reasons.

I completely agree with you! Online dating can be extremely dangerous to some certain points, and you really do not 'get' the person until you meet them in person. Like my momma said you can put anything on the computer you dont even have to put your real name, nobody will ever know.

I believe in online love but the materialization of that love was depend on both the person in love. That love might be success and go into deeper until to reach marriage proposal and be happy. But it will be unsuccessful because the other side didn't understand the situation the two people apart... Long distance and near relationship is the same. The only different was the distant and but love is same... In a relationship whether this is online or not. It will be successful if any person involve has the ability to understand each other and has the ability to consider discipline and be truth for everything...

I met my BF online 2 years ago,, and we have not met yet, we have planed to meet on my birthday but he was busy with work and can not come to my country. We've been in long distance relationship for 2 years but we have faith that we will meet someday. He knew I was unhappy that I spent my birthday without him, he asked what I want for my birthday, he will send me money to buy birthday gift for myself lol, I said I dont want anything. I joked him I want O magazine (Oprah Magazine) because I am a big fan of Oprah, 2 months later I received a shipment from California and it was OMagazine :D We have another plan to meet this december, and we still pray for the best thing will happen to us. We have routine chat everyday...sometimes he calls, sometimes we chat on skype, sometimes texting, and tons of daily email. Online or offline relationship just same. It depends on you and your couple.

I believe in online love because I met my husband that way. We have been married for 3 years. Before I met my husband I had a couple of bad experiences with the men that met on the dating sites. One of them was very different in real life. Our meeting was not a success and we only met once. Then I met another man from a dating site. He got along really well online, but when we met in person things didn't work out and we weren't attracted to eachother at all. Fortunately I decided to give online dating another chance and then I met my husband My mother was a bit skeptical when I told her that I had met the man who became my husband, because she knew the that the first couple of dates weren't very successful, but when she met my husband she understood that it was different this time.

Lol I never had any love affairs, my marriage was an arranged marriage, i am happily married since 1968 I know many cases of online love, mobile love etc; after persons started using cell phones and internet, in most cases the ending was sad, many men disguised as some one else chatted with girls; best thing is one should love/marry a person whom she can meet in person.. thanks for sharing.

I met my ex-girlfriend online in a lesbian chat room. We emailed, texted, spoke on the phone, viewed each other on webcam, flew to see each other when we could, & eventually lived together for a year. We're still friends & it was an interesting experience being in a relationship like that. It had its good and bad & I don't want to be in a long distance relationship again but I don't regret it at all. I'll always love her as a friend & I'm glad I met her. I did love her romantically & she's a blessing in my life. So I do believe in online love.

Actually, I don't see why you cannot fall in love over the internet. You are two personalities that meet and discover. However, I can see what people in your life are saying. I mean, the internet us a good way for someone to hide their true intentions under the guise of sweet wording. I mean, there have been men and women who were cheated out of their savings by online romances (they end up sending all their money to someone they 'love'). However, that being said, I do believe you can fall in love online. I really do. However, the true test of love is to live together. It's still easy to be in love on line, you don't share the bathroom, no one trips over the other persons shoes, etc. The real world is the place to find out if it is love. You MEET on the internet, but in real life, you must see if you can coexist. And, if you work things out on the net, I don't see why you cannot! YES to love on the internet, but ONLY if it leads to 2 people able to have a relationship where they live together, under the same roof.

I personally do believe in online love though I have never experienced such. I am actually looking on a site making the possibility of it. Though I believe that it should start with friendship first.

Oh yes most definitely must start with friendship first. I mean you wouldnt date anyone you just met, you would go out with friends first, so definitely agree with you there!

Hi, I read your post and you are in similar situation like me. Even some people call me crazy for searching my online love. Even i have started a discussion here about "online love - Good or Bad" . I feel it all lies in the correct person you meet. Many successful online relationships are there and that gives me a hope that i will find my love one day. Even i was ready to make phone calls, do video chat , sending text messages to show that i am real and not a scammer. But many people are out there just for hook up. More over some people lose interest with each other after few days. They get bored sometimes. When you are determined to get an online relationship, both the people should be faithful and honest to each other. Chatting or talking daily will automatically develop the trust and confidence on each other. They should always keep in touch. That is very important.
