Meeting Online friends in person Options

[*icecreamisyummy*]

after knowin someone online for a couple of years and actaully metting them in person and hanging out with them a coupleo f times ,is it possible to really fall for this person??? like would it be consider jsut an online thing or something real. does anyone understnad what im trying to say/ask??

[miiichellley]

Yeah, i get what you're saying. I suppose it's possible. Never happened to me before, but you could fall in love with anyone, i guess. Depending on how often you talk, and that way you get really close to that person.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

actually we've become really close, well it seems like it. we're both in band so he went to disney and watched me perform and then he had a huge band competition up where i live PA and i watched him perform. considering that we live so far away from each other...ive hung out with him quiet a few times this year 4 times to be exact. idk sometimes he seems a bit distant. but then again we've known each other for about 3-4 years.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

its very very possible especialy if youve known them for a long ass time

[ANG33ZY]

^ What she said. I think it's possible.

[lilJdawg]

Yes, I know what you're talking about &I think it's possible for you guys to fall for each other &establish a real relationship.

[OhMyAnniee]

Possible.
You can't tell the heart what you feel.

[showstopper!]

It's possible. But don't rush it, get to know him first.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Like already said, it's possible. Just be careful with someone you met on the net because you never know. Ok, I'm done sounding like an old lady.

[*x1227x*]

It's possible. But don't rush it, get to know him first.

^ what cassie said.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

i guess what im really tryign to ask is if its possible that he too might feel the same way. i mean when we're etogether it feels like we're a couple... in a serious relationship or something. we sonstantly hug we kiss we hodl hands... the usual in a relationship. but you knwo how a lot of guys are... i jstu don tknow if he's being real or not. i know he likes someone where he lives, which i guess it doesnt bother me that much cuz yea... we do live so far away from each other. but sometitmes it seems like its jsut an online thing. ahh!! so confusing. oh and to the person who told me to watch out for ppl i meet online... dont worry i know him pretty well, he's not a weirdo and isnt gonna go rape me in a dark alley or something. he's met my mom ive met his dad and a few of my friends met him and i met a few of his friends. well thanks everyone!

[marzipan]

Well, if he likes someone else where he lives, then you might not have much luck there because he'd see that person much more because, well, they live nearby. You wouldn't know what would go on over there because you don't live nearby.

But you said he hugs and kisses you, so he probably likes you. Unless he's just a cheater and is in a relationship with more than 1 person.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

lol actaully she lives in his state but not exactly near. and yea he has told me of times he jsut gotten home from like having sex with one of his ex's or somethign like that...btu that was before is tarted realizing i really do liek him and its not a temp. thing. he used to talk to me about his like relationship problems and what not about girls etc... and ever since i told him im actaully starting to like him he has kidna stopped. and also, i like someone thatlives over here, but i like HIM a lot more. so we're both in the same situation kinda in a way. we already talked about it when he got back form his summer tour. now after seein hima month a go the feelings have obviously gotten stronger and well we havent talekd about it. idk maybe its just the age difference.. that big at all im 17 he'll be 19 in a few days. idk
On myspace when ever iw ould write in my blog about him with out really giving it away he would figure it out and would confront me about it and i would jsut lie and say... "youre not the only guy i talk to " and blah blah. well recently i wrote a serious one about him and it was extremely obvious, and well i know he read cuz he tells me he reads all my blogs and he hasnt said anythign about it. thats whats really botheringme i guess. well if someone wants to read the blog, jsut let me know and ill jsut put it up here, and maybe you can tell me if it is a bit harsh or somethign

[Intercourselyts]

I wouldn't see where it would be a problem by liking them. Online relationships form everyday, its nothing out of the norm.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

im not talkign about onlien relationships. of course its a normal thing, im talkin about taking form an online thign to the real life relationship. and i wouldnt "date" some one online. thats jsut plain silly. i can just find myself the real thing.

[MeanBastard]

You should, then they can bring you back to their house and rape you up the butt!

[Intercourselyts]

Yea if you met the person online and then formed a relationship with them in real life, theres nothing wrong or weird about that. Then you would have the same type of relationship as everyone else.

[asung88]

yeah. its possible.

[Rachellll]

Its possible, but don't let it happen.
Its too sketchy.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

^^^^thats what i was thinking...

alright well heres the blog i wrote about him




Before going to Hawaii, i couldnt get this person out of my head.and i knew that was gonna happen after seeing him. i tried avoiding it from happening by being a bit distant at the end. it worked somewhat.

Now.... i really dont know why im so into someone that 1.is completely opposite of me 2. is an emotional freak and 3. i know is impossible to ever have something with . i could never see myself with this person just cuz we're so different from each other. its more of a friends with benefit type of thing, when really there isnt any benefits like that( ge tyour midn out of the gutter)

but yea, after i came back from hawaii, i thought to myself, ''wow im finally over this person." and i realize how stupid ive been all these days weeks months years. now i got told to be optimistic about this whole situation, but how is that possible if that person isnt helping the whole situation. HINT TO GUYS, its not a good to play mind games with the girls you like, well you tell them you like em, who knows if its true.

so yea, last nite as im sitting on the bus on our way back from hershey, i got this feeling.... it wasnt a good feeling. the couple infront of me was making out, well attemping to... idk what the heck they were doing, but anyways and they were cuddlign and what not an i just hgouht back to that summer nite when YOU held me in your arms and didnt wanna let go. that first REAL kiss just a month ago, and i realize whether all this is real or not, i still have that feeling for you. I miss you more now than i ever did. but why now??

i know youre like completely head over heels for someone thats not me. I myself have started feeling for someone else, but last nite... never have a felt like that before. and it hurts so much to know im never gonna let it happen, youre never gonna let it, it will never happen.

ive noticed that everytime im feeling lonely i run straiaght to you. everytime youre feeling lonely im always there for you no matter what. i guess we're jsut using each other as wrong as that sounds.

after all these months, ive learned to be a bit mroe optimistic about this, too bad the timming is wrong....

also as im reading over that blog, let me point out one thing. when we "talked" about it the first time, he told me to be optimistic about the whole thing cuz i mentioned that even if i do go to college down tehre we werent gonna have anything. which i am planning on goign to college down where he lives but has nothign to do with him. believe me.

[GREASEbaby]

well hun, it seems you like him alot.
maybe ask him to just stay away from you.
even though you probably can't stay away from him, you really need to move on.and if he isn't in the picture, then you can move on.
try not to talk to him, as hard as that sounds...

[xostolenkissezox]

it's very much possible for something from online to turn into a reallife thing. i know because i'm going through it. i've known someone that i met online 10 years ago and i couldn't be more in love. we are now moving in together and talking about marriage and having children of our own so it's very much possible. you can only be as honest as possible because it's difficult with the distance to hint around things. people that are far away can't pick up on things as easily as people you can see face to face. but just know it's very much possible. good luck!

[*icecreamisyummy*]

I am not in love withhim. i really like him, thats all. and we have gone out on a "date" already. we've hung out a couple of times this year. anyways thanks to everyone

[xquizit]

I've dated people I met initially on Myspace... so uhhh... yeah. It can happen.


And since you guys have already hung out a few times and stuff, what difference does it make that you met online?

[*icecreamisyummy*]

hey everyone, so i actaully tlaked to him about it ... it was more of an argument and what i got from him was

"your important to me i want you in my life..no matter how far away you are"

i guess i feel better about the whole situation... he's even coming to see me in the next month or two. staying at my house (note: im still in high school he's in college... i still live with my parents)

has anyone gone through this before?? soething similar??

[mocassinsx29]

I have no idea what you're saying. But I imagine meeting someone who you've met online must be pretty awkward. At least in the beginning. Yeah yeah, please don't respond to this by a "NO THAZ NOT TRUE I MET _____ FROM CB AND IT WAS GRATE!!!!" It's just how I imagine.

That was probably totally off topic because I don't know what the topic exactly is...

[*icecreamisyummy*]

ive never met anyone from cb...but it is kidna ackward to meet someone you met online in person the first time. for me it worked out, but we still get those weird moments

[iDecay]

Yeha, probably. Can't say it's happened to me, but I have developed crushes on people I've met online before.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

So has anyone been out to meet an online friend in person and found out that the person was not who they really said they were, etc???

[JenxCrazii]

i used to have a friend who played maple story and she met a guy there. and the guy was actually at her school, and they were in love and in a relationship. Also, i had another friend who met a guy while playing runescape buh, theyre not in love or something.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

update!!!

so yea he's coming to see me in a month....staying over my house. cant wait!!

everythings better for us though i guess. idk if you guys have ever seen the one image here on cB



thats basically how i feel about the whole situation. but jsut knowin that he'll spend his spring break here with me.... in the cold, just makes everything ok!

well since im moving to where he lives this summer after i graduate, he mentioned something about getting an apartment together, but i didnt pay much attention to it, cuz i dont wanna get over excited about the whole thing... ill just wait till summer to figure those things out.

i jsut wanna say, good luck to everyone out there in this situation!!! there have been a lot of topics about online relationships and meeting them in person and what not. it is possible. but jsut be careful

People think that long distant/online relationships never work out.
Mine is!!
We have even started planning our futures together.

I have been in a long distant relationship with my love for months.
She lives in Bulgaria and me in Singapore/France.
There is a time difference of 8 hours between Bulgaria and Singapore, so it is not really easy for us to keep in touch, espicially since both of us school.
We write, skype, phone and msn each other.

I met her in a random chat-room and we totally clicked.
The first few months of our relationship was totally on-line until I met her (I flew over there).
Tough it was only for a day, I felt as if she has always been next to me.
As we meet each other once in a blue moon, we know how to apriciate each other's company no matter how short the period of time is.

Personaly, I find that long distant relationships last longer and sometimes forever.
Tough long distant realtionships have thier ups and downs.

We do not have the luxury of chatting everyday, so we have loads of stuff to talk about always. As our time together is also limited, we do not argue at all. Not once in all these months with her have we argued.

One thing important which keeps the relationship going is TRUST. Both of us trust each other a lot. Also the other important factor is patience. Sometimes it takes months and even years for us (as both of us are teens) to be together in real life.

There is no secret in maintaining a online/ long-distant relationship.
It just takes a lot of trust, patience and eagerness from both parties.

Till today, our relationship is getting stronger and stronger day by day. Each day we love each other more and more. To me, she is the only girl that has the key to the doorway of my heart. And hopefully she does not lose it

No matter, how far apart we are or how long we do not talk to each other, I know that both of us will be in each other's hearts forever.

[*mishyerr*]

sorry, but although it is easy to fall for someone through the internet, and it is possible to fall for someone even after meeting them in person

they might be a freaky old guy or something :/ and if he talks to you about having sex with his exs and stuff, he sounds kind of... um... ...scary. not the fact that he has sex; the fact that he would tell a random stranger who is a girl.
