Net Love

Does It Work Or Not?

 

a friend of mine fell in love with a guy she met on the net who lived in england and they talked for months.. he visited her, she visited him, they went on holidays together, met halfway sometimes. it worked.

if you are going to see the person eventually then wtf does it matter

 

I keep telling my wife that internet hook ups never work. Only freaks and psychos online looking for love. I then tell her that since we met online 4 years ago she should leave me cause it never works out in the end.

By the way our 1 year wedding aniversary is sunday (5/22) and our little boy is doing fine!!!

 

I suppose it has as much change to fail as any other way of meeting in a relationship

 

Yes it can work. It worked for my wife and I. We met here a couple of years ago and I have not been happier...............
Good Luck!

What I've witnessed from my mother's numerous romantic online relationships, one of which she thankfully ended a few months back, it's been nothing but hell. Lies, betrayl, abuse, you know, all that good stuff. And she says they all started off so well, that they were so nice, so loving, caring, so many promises were made.

That's not to say that romantic online relationships can't work, because I'm sure many do and have, but I have little faith in them from what I've seen.

 

I think that the good thing about internet love (romantic and/or friendship) is that it's more easy to open up.. the internet gives you some kind of buffer which is just a tad less personal. I've had a friend (RL) for a couple of year but only after she got internet and MSN we got more close, because she was always a bit shy in RL.

However.. 'opening' up doesn't always mean 'being honest'.. in RL you can at least try judging by their non-verbal behaviour if they are truthfull, online it takes more wishfull thinking and good faith.

Both RL and internet has it's pro's and con's..

 

the only net love that works involves a fishnet hammock

 

Very good point. I myself am more outgoing online with friendships than I am in "real life". Normally, I'm quite shy and keep more to myself.

Romantic wise, I don't have any online experience with that, I only go by what I've seen my mother go through.

 

As long as you actually meet the person in real life and then stay with them, why not?

What is annoying is people going on and on about their "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" when they've never seen them or confirmed that they are not this guy:


What difference does it make where you first met someone, I mean, you're not gonna get a better relationship just because you met someone at a church. Bad marriages are not exclusive to the internet...

 

*drools* that guy is hot..wonder if he is single..

 

No fuckin way!! I want details. Has anyone else dont this on HF? What;s her member name?

 

no it doesn't because you don't know someone's mannerisms you only know the good side of them, which is easily innacuratley portrayed on the internet. you know your values morals ect coincide but there's so much more that's important.

 

net love is ok only if youre both deaf blind and dumb

 

i was thinking the same thing

 

Bitch..he's Mine..back The Fuck Up...

 

you always take the guys i want

 

i deserve them

 

totally depends.

 

I think it can work most certainly, depending a lot on distance and whether or not, your 'net love' can be a true love right next to you all the time.

I fell in love with a girl harder than any other with our initial meeting being over the internet. That being said, once you experience 'real love' as in you meet and enjoy each others company in person and sparks fly high there, I think it becomes very hard unless you see each often and have hope that your 'net love' will someday soon become that true love next to you all the time - one you share your life with.

Maybe some can do it, but I really don't think I can manage distance in a relationship very well - it just becomes very hard to feel like your living and sharing life together and in me in creates a sense of uncertainy and doubt and jIust lose hope that I'll ever be able to truly share life everday with my 'net love'.

So, yeah, I completely believe that you can meet the perfect partner over the internet, I know many have, but sometimes its just too hard to make work to actually end up being together.
