Love help: falling in love online? - Help.com

Well if you do plan to meet him.
Go by the rules, like meeting him in a public place, or with a large group, just in case.

I have always wondered if online love is possible. I am so desperate I am willing to try, but I am too young for those silly dating sites, so I blew it off my shoulder sorta.

but i think that is cool at the same time.It’d be cute meeting your one love online and everything.
have you seen europtrip, and the whole idea he went to europe for the girl he met online and is in love with her…its rated R but funny.
If a guy did that for me, that would be sooo amazing.

Hmm… it’s not always so good. I’m on my second help marriage.

there are lots of success stories and bad endings in life too. it all depends on if you’re compatable as people or not. it can happen, and love is irration anyways. Just don’t jump into anything you’re not ready for

I me tmy girlfriend online, we new eachother for half a year before she told me she liked me. We started dating and we waited for a year before we culd see eachother. We video chatted, we voice chatted… we knew that both of us were who we said we were. She came just a few weeks back, to meet me for teh first time. It was incredible and wonderful and my love for her has only grown. But dont kid yourself, the pain of online love is not easy to bear… I miss her everyday and often I spend nights in tears missing her touch. But I love her and she means the world to me.

I met my ex- girlfriend online lol. It wasn’t on a dating site we met in an online game. Everything was great at first … We just broke up recently but we were together for 3 years, we were engaged for 5 months. We grew apart when we moved too a foreign country for work and the company wasn’t ready yet so we were together 24/7 for 3 months. She woke up one day and said “I don’t love you anymore”. Err anyways thats not the point here, I think it can be just as good as a normal relationship. The only thing its missing is that initial courtship (which builds bonds). Oh and something like 80% of first date who meet online sleep together the first night. Be one of the 20% if you want his respect (make him work for it). So I think that if you meet somebody online it might just work. Be careful because even tho you think you know him until you have met him you really don’t.

i am being careful in my craziness, trust me:P.
and no i don’t plan on jumping into bed with him the first night if this is true and it turns out wonderfully when we first meet. this is for several reasons, 1) because im a virgin and its kind of complicated as usual. 2) because i WANT to make him work for it 3)cuz i WANT to be SURE and 4) im afraid how much harder it would be when i either eventually leave him or when he eventually leaves me. but i don’t know.
and Snar you give me hope! lol. im pretty much already goin through h ell but you know if it turns out to be love then im prepared to go through all the pain.

Safety is number one, even in the midst of love.

1. Meet in a public place.
2. Inform your relatives, friends, and anyone else close to you.
3. Know yourself before you try to know this person.
Considering that you are a bit young…I would encourage you not to make “him” or “her” your top priority…
Put yourself first. You have to finish school, go through college, get hired for a job, and buying your own house…

My reply’s motive is safety and responsibility.

Late at night here so only answering the main/first question.
Yes, it is very possible. I know of many couples from here alone that have either gotten married or are still “seeing each other”. That being said, there are also times it didn’t work out, so you may have to keep at it. My last point before I head out is to be SAFE. Don’t give out private emails or details at first. If they want to talk to you on an IM or through email get another account for that. Make sure the name doesn’t give away anything that could let the person know where you live exactly. If you decide to meet, follow rule 1 from curioussea there. Take a friend with you and do it in a public place. good luck and good night.

It’s good night and good luck to quote that one anchorman Mr. Ken.

yes of course i need to finish my education and such! lol..i would never in a million years give up all those things…another reason why if things do work out lovely when we meet things will be hard.
and we aren’t exactly ’seeing eachother’ yeah i like him, but it would be silly of me to ask him to, i don’t know, have it be like that. would be weird. its kind of a mutual acknowledgment of how we both feel if that makes sense.

i really appreciate all your replies guys! im totally taking it to heart…and i’ll remember all that CuriousSea.
never planned for any of it to be a big secret. when the time comes i’ll tell my dad and hopefully he won’t freak out on me to much…eek. lol

When I told my dad he made a face like he had just eaten fecal matter, but when they realized it was serious they had to give in.

Personally I would rather meet someone in real life then in cyberspace. For one, there is no way to know who people are since you can put a picture of anyone on and say that it’s you. Secondly, there is more of a connection when you speak to someone in real life then online. Im not saying that meeting someone online is a bad idea, not at all, I see the success stories on eharmony and realise that you can meet the person of your dreams. What I mean is that at times it’s just better to see someone in person and there is more “emotion”. If I couldn’t find someone in person, then it would seem like a good idea to meet someone online, better than nothing.
