Probably because there is a stigma attached to online romances as you have found out here by some people's reactions. I know a guy whose wife left him for a sleaze on the net, she later regretted it and wanted to come back but it was too late then, he didn't want her back. I think she has learnt the hard way that meeting who you think is the love of your life over the net isn't always as good as you think it will be. People lie and pretend they are something they are not. I have heard of many similar cases as well, which only adds to the stigma.

BUT....... occasionally you do find someone worth talking to on the net, somebody who is honest and open and you get along really well. If that happens I think there is nothing wrong with it.

The internet is just another place to meet people, is all. I reckon if you go "looking for love", in ANY place, you're liable to be disappointed and spend a lot of time sifting through hoards of wildly unsuitable people ;-)

I met my girlfriend online.. some chat room somewhere. We exchanged emails for close to two years, and we became great friends before anything else happened. We met in person once, when she came to sydney for a weekend - it just went from there. It's been going for 4 and a half years, and she's been living in sydney with us for 6 months.. Must be doing SOMETHING right

I agree with you. People who intentionally look for a relationship online, and don't bother offline, have problems. However I believe if you meet someone, and you like them, and then you meet up and decide that you really do like them and things happen, that's a different story altogether, and that's not sad. I think a lot of people in internet relationships are not using the internet as a substitute for finding a relationship, more just another way of meeting people.

Yes. They are losers.

One of my friends...is engaged...to someone from NSW...she has NEVER met in person. She met him online, and got asked to marry him after 2 months knwoing each other online...i dont gte it. Looking for love on the net is sad, meeting someone online, then meeting in person and if THEN u fall in love well i dont see anything wrong with that. But u cant love someone youve never met IMO, or at least i couldnt.

it doesn't always start as people looking for ''love on the internet'' as you have all put it.. things just sometimes work out that way.. I don't think you should go on the internet looking for a relationship, that is fraught with disaster. Most people are just looking for someone to talk to, and if it should change to a romantic feeling some way down the track then so be it. There are a lot of lonely people out there.

My name has yet to be mentioned here!
What a shock


Calling people sad is a bit harsh.
Peoples personalities aren't the same. So it is not as easy for some to just get up and go meet new people.
Their personalities may see them to be standoffish, or even seem like they don't like the other person, just because of the way they are.

The internet is a good place for meeting people, not necessarily meeting people for internet relationships.
If people are honest on the net, you get to see what people are really like, as like as they don't put on a front.

So you can see how someone could potentially fall for someone on the net, as they are generally falling for a persons true self.

You should read between the lines.

But.......... surely, you were going online with a voice in the back of your head saying 'I'm looking for a relationship'. You must've realised that.

When I'm depserate to talk to someone, I call a friend or go to see my sister or folks. I don't go online whilst vulnerable and/or desperate and wind up in crappy relationships with people tens of thousands of km away. That's not love.

If you can't be yourself with someone face to face, you are obviously not that person to start with.

Are you asking for people to talk about you?

I see what you mean, but aren't you the one that told me you can't really fall for someone until you know all their true habits, likes, dislikes, etc etc...? I think people on the internet, while they are showing their true selves, are still only showing part of themselves. I know with most of the people I've met, they've been like what they are online, but there are still shocks and a lot of differences with they way they act online, not because they are lying online but because you just can't show everything online, and it's a lot easier to unknowingly act differently online.

There is nothing wrong woth meeting a 42 yold divorcee with 5 kids who is wanting some unconditional love. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Make sure you ask for their pic first though!

I disagree. Internet is the worst way to meet people, if that is your intention whilst being on the internet. Its rife with social ******s, creeps who prey on youngsters, pathalogical liars and other weirdo's. Its full of these people because its easier to lie hiding behind a keyboard and monitor, its easier to exaggerate about your looks, your financial/social status, everything. The amount of people that have "fallen in love" with people they have never met on the net is astounding. Personally i dont see how you can fall in love with a bunch of words that you dont even know are true. Not when you can look into a persons eyes and use your gut feel, with their physical presence, to know if they are the real deal or not. Its a lot harder to lie about who/what you are when you've met somewhere other than online.

Stop wasting time on the internet then and get back to work.

and what happeneds when they meet and she finds out he's an 80 yr old man???

idont get the point of having any relationship where being together in person isnt the main way of interacting. there's just no point to it! people arent 100% honest over the net, and even if they are, sometimes personalities can be interpreted in many different ways! unless you've met in person and like who they really are, its just a waste of time, effort and emotions!
