Would You Accept an Online Proposal?

I completely agree with you. You can never trust a person...whom u have never met...atleast not in today's world.

It all depends on what you are looking for on the net. I have seen relationships that have evolved from the Internet. I actually met a lady online. I'm in Zambia and she is in USA and we got to met. And I have met some fellow locals that I met on the Internet. However, I agree that others may claim to be what they are not. And some have ulterior motives. One just has to be cautious on going about it all.

Buddy, do not accept the online proposals for marriage/love/date, which will end in great loss! As there's no face to face deal in the internet community, people use it as a medium to cheat others. Try to speak to people face to face who propose you and then come to a conclusion dear!

I agree with you there!

I agree. You can certainly meet someone online that you will eventually marry, but you SHOULD meet them before taking such a great step. The ironic thing is, even though I agree that it is important to meet first, I had an online boyfriend and accepted his proposal without ever having met. It was a strange situation. Highly dependent and slightly obsessive-- it wasn't a very healthy relationship, I don't think. He agreed to it, apparently, because he thought that that was what I wanted and was going along, and I agreed to it because I have a hard time saying no and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I do think we took it seriously, eventually... But we didn't really know each other. That is, he knows me very well, even now, but only about certain things... I shared some parts of myself with him BECAUSE we hadn't met. I don't know what would have happened if we had. Like I said, we were very dependent on one another in an unhealthy way. Very jealous, not really happy... It was the type of relationship one enters out of depression in order to distract yourself from whatever pain you happen to be feeling, and in order to avoid loneliness. Of course I'm babbling on. I want to explain it, I suppose. We thought we needed each other. We thought we knew each other-- and did, to a certain extent. But talking online takes away something-- touch, body language, all of that. Even with web cam or voice chat, you're missing something. They don't always show exactly what you would see in the real world. You can't REALLY know someone from online conversations. You can't pick up on some of their habits, you can't read subtle clues from their body about certain things... Just think of how often someone might misunderstand what the other is saying, based on his or her interpretation of the written text. Tone conveys a LOT. Anyways, the original question was if you would-- and I did, so yes. But I also know that I was really waiting to meet him, before I considered any of it real. Today, I have a hard time even considering him to have been my first "real" boyfriend. I'm with someone else now, and I view HIM as being the first, in most aspects of what a relationship is. Internet dating doesn't work out, if you can never meet that person. (Well, there were other issues involved, but there's no need to bring those into this.) So, yeah... It wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I think I accepted it as a placeholder, so to speak. Once we met and got to know each other in real life, we could make it all real. Of course, that never happened.

lol no not online unless youve acctualy met the person we heare these storys everyday about funny chacrters online so be carefull!!!

Never. People can claim to be anything they want to, even men claiming to be women and vice versa, under the anonymity of the internet. There is no way I would trust someone online to be exactly what they claimed to be until I met them in person, especially when it came to a subject as serious as marriage. To err on the side of caution is simply the best act of self preservation you can exercise.

I agree, It always depends. How well you know the person before the email. But I would always prefer when its done in person
