well I think internet is just a different medium, a different way of interacting compared to what was done in the past.

Example :

in the past some people would write letters to each other bla bla bla and eventually feel in love ( not that it was a common thing either )....


well me personnaly, my grandparents, ( I don't know the whole story that's true ... or kinda forgot it ) well they went back and forth writing letters for like a year or so and one day good old grandpa asked her in mariage in one of the letters without ever having meet my later to be grandma.... ain't that odd?

well I think internet love is totally possible, but you have to be totally honest with yourself and ..... not rush anything, cause getting caught up is so damm easy, you like , create a dream character from the person you talk to online .... and sometimes they do the same, or more often don't ...

I say, just be careful, take your time. And don't open your mouth first if you feel you got to say something

I've had baaaaaaad experiences with net love (or as i was trying to do, hook up with some cheap pussy). Just always follow the golden rule: If a girl says she's really hot but doesn't have any pictures of herself or says "sorry the pic is dark", she's ugly.

However I did *somewhat* meet my ex on the net. I talked to her on icq for about 6 months, then met her in a club not knowing who she is. After I got her number and started talking to her for a few weeks, I realized it was the same person. That relationship lasted 1 1/2 years, then she turned all weird on me.

But other than her, every girl I met on the net was either a whore, ugly, or both. If u don't care about looks, that's good for u. But unfortunately I can't be with them unless I can honstly say I think they're beautiful.

oh, and I just remembered one story that brings hope to people looking for love on the net. My manager's cousin met this guy on random chat about 2-3 years ago, and she's getting married to him this saturday. Both are really nice people, and they are able to fulfill each other's needs so I wish them the best of luck.

there are many possibilities

i think you are more likely to open up on the internet more than you would in person, therefore making it possible to really get to know someone...but everyone is different, so it's hard to generalize.

Yes, this is true. The reason why it's easier to open up to someone on the internet is b/c u don't have to look them in the eye and say something. For example, if someone on the net told u "i think ur sexy", most ppl would just take it as a compliment. Now if a total stranger came up to u in person and said the same thing, there is more chance of rejection.

Real love can only arise when 2 people have real contact with eachother

thats silly logic.

so, if i hang out with someone, but then i move far away, i cant still have "real love" with them because im somewhere else now?

i agree with what slylee said. the internet can be a lot more open than real life, and you can really get to know what a person is like. on the other hand, it also opens up huge floodgates of potential lies and false masks. but, i absolutely believe that two people can fall for one another, not being able to be face to face much. all of you are saying "oh, thats not REAL love". i guess this depends on what your definition of "love" is.

heres a fun story:
me and my sister (shes 24, im almost 22), have been using computers since we were little (me since i was like 5). we had an atari ST old school computer back in teh commodore/amiga/atari days, and we both used to log on to BBS'es. my sister somehow started talking to this guy michael who is from Australia, i only knew about him because when digital cameras first came out (serious novelty at the time), my mom had one for her school and my sister had her take a picture, holding up a sign saying "Hi Mash!" (his screen name). at this time, scanning a picture of yourself and shit was pretty rare.

anyways, i guess they talked for a few years... then, id say about 4-5 years ago, he moved from australia to seattle. they have been together ever since. at the moment they both live in the silicon valley area of cali, he programs for Sun microsystems and she programs for Nokia.

my point is, this shit does work out. just talk to my sister. just goes to show you that two people really can connect over a medium that is more and more used to facilitate great communication between people. shit, you guys probably take for granted all the messengers that are out or the global chat rooms. its so easy to get a hold of people now, so easy to communicate... so why is it so hard to believe that people cant fall for each other in that way? its very ignorant and close minded to think that way. and again, it all rides on your open minded or close minded definition of "love".
