Do you beleive in E-Relationship / Romance ?

I haven't found my one, true E-love yet and I'm starting to think I never will. :(

[QUOTE="UltraZero"][QUOTE="Agent-Zero"]It's not something I'd be into, but it can exist up to a certain point. At some point you want to meet each other. Only when you met them in person do you get that special feeling, "the know". Of course I'm talking about true love, like I want to marry you love. You could just have someone you cybersex with or something.Agent-Zero

No way.

lol, **** no.

Sure. As long as you guys get to meet up later.

Edit: Unless you're talking about strictly online romance. I've had a few of those, where even though the girl had a commitment, we still did stuff on webcam, with the intent to never meet. Those are usually just for fun though.

Thats hard to say, i wouldnt go as far as to saying i condemn something like that, but i sorta think it gives too many people false hope :lol: in some ways unless theyre really serious about it, I suppose there are ways such things can work out wonderfully, but to know someone you'd really have to see them for their true selves eventually too...either way as long as trust exists yea...dont see any problem with it :P

True :)

The whole thing seems kinda silly to me, it just seems like there's no intimacy or anything. You're talking to someone through merely text on a screen. I mean think about it, the casanova of your dreams could be a hairy, creepy, 67 year old truck driver named Philbert lol. I'm happy in my real life relationship, online can't subsitute for that 8)

My wife and I actually met on the Internet. After a while though, she moved to within an hour from me and we started dating.

This reminded me of a thread from long ago on a FFXI forum. Epic lulz were had.

I don't know. Maybe for a first relationship but now that I've experienceda relationship with extremely physical aspects I could not go to one without any, it just wouldn't work.

I was matched with someone name Satans child on Zoosk..Her interests were bleeding and lifting weights.

It was "scientific matchmaking" I might go with it..she sounds like a keeper.

the internet is a necasarry evil to me. It allows for us to seek out people with like minded interests. But the downside to that is if they live too far away, then you can't kiss, snuggle, date, and do all the physical things that lovers do. Which to me defeats the purpose. It also makes you more vulnerable to being dumped assuming that person finds someone in real life to do those thing with. while you're stuck miles away not being able to do anything about it.

Another reason why is because you don't always know who you're talking to. I have a freind, well, HAD a friend that found a "girlfriend" he'd met on myspace. he was 21 at the time she said she was 20. well, to make a looooong story short, it turned out she was only 14....

Can a Boy and a Girl from different corners of the world fall in love with each other over Internet ?

Would you fall in love with a girl / guy from Internet ? Would you trust your partner completely under such circumstances ?

I personally know of a couple who met on Gamespot , found True love in each other and living together very happily now .

Whats your opinion on this matter ? :)

And my Uncle is married to a women he met on E-Harmony.

I really don't understand some peoples attitudes towards online dating. Dating sites are a very plausable way to find someone.

I use OKcupid and I think it is great. The way it matches you is based on questions you answer. You not only get to choose your answer, but you get to choose which answers you find acceptable in a potential match, and it is through that that you two are matched up.

The profile set-up is nice too. You have the section to explain yourself, a section about what you want to do with your life, a section where you name off interests, etc.

You don't get that sort of thing when meeting people in the real world. I feel you can gauge a persons personality really well from profiles like that.

No, how can you have a relationship with someone you never actually see?harashawn

I said the same thing to my former pastor.

Strictly digital... meh. You'd have to meet in person I think to find true love, but hey, who am I to judge what people call love?

This can't be serious right ? ......R....Right ?

It definitely is possible, especially in this day and age with emails, social networks, instant messaging, and high quality video calls. Keeping it entirely online with no intention of meeting up isn't the way to go in my opinion, though.

[QUOTE="Omni-Slash"]sure you can meet somone over the web..but without a physical meeting or contact...it's sure to end in epic failure...binpink

After talking to a guy online for some time, and then the phone, he turned out to be a douchebag. I've decided to stay away from online dating since.

I said the same thing to my former pastor.

A relationship can be emotional without a physical connection. There are different types of relationships. Over the Internet, people can grow to have an emotional connection (not physical) to the other person whether or not they have met previously. I had an emotional connection with my wife before we ever met for example. After we met, we now have an emotional and physical connection with each other which grew throughout the years.

I used to play Runescape. There were a lot of lonely, desperate 10-12 year old kids who went around asking characters who were female if they'd be their Girlfriend. For all we know however, your E-Girlfriend could be this man.

I always figured anyone who used the poke feature on facebook believed in such.

eHarmony etc. is pretty sad. Let's face it, if you're on there, you're otherwise hopeless with women and had to resort to the internet automatically matching you with someone that you'll feel "compatible" with because you're desperate for affection and will stick with the first thing that comes along. Versus in the real world where you get to pick and choose (and try your luck of course).F1_2004

Relationships can start over the internet, sure. You're still getting to know the basis of a person, just not the person in their entirety. That is what makes most internet relationships fail, the fact that you can never REALLY know someone unless you spend a sufficient amount of time with them.

One thing that I can say is that if you don't work at it enough, it is headed straight for inevitable failure, but that goes with any relationship.

In a nutshell, I support the beginning of relationships to occur online but not the entirety of a relationship...you can't really co-habitate over the internet.

It gets pretty ridiculous though. I know someone who actually met their wife on the internet and while they were living apart post marriage she actually had her husband babysit her kids over Skype. -.-
