Being In Love Online, How absurd, or how blissful? Options

[Achromatic]

Well, I just wanted to see what everyone thinks about online dating, hmn? Stupid question, I know. But I don't want answers that pretty much cliché, if you know what I mean. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't mean online dating as in 'Cyber/Porn/sex/etc etc' ... I mean like knowing a person from online experiences, and creating something a bit more past friendship. Finding yourself e-mailing and chatting with that person 24/7 and well, you know the butterfly feelings. x] Well, how about it?

Personally, I think it all depends on trust. Make sure you really know the person before you take it beyond friendship. Personally, I think that 'online' is a bit easier at first... You don't really have to deal with awkward moments where s/he says something that you dun know QUITE how to respond to... You don't have to reply immediatly. Also, for a lot of people, it's easier to be more open online - less selfconscious. But I really must stress this TRUST issue before meeting them face to face.... Don't just accecpt things at face value - if you're concerned about something, try to bring it up again, or even ask directly. Currently, I'm in an online relationship and while, yes, it is hard not seeing them everyday, I kind of think it's worth it. We both know each other's personalities really well; no stigmatas to really deal with; there's a bond of trust between us that I've rarely seen in 'IRL' couples. We HAVE to trust each other if we want this to work.

Sp while it has it's ups, it also has some downs.
Just follow your heart - it rarely leads you wrong.

I totally get what you're saying. I guess trust is the way to go in order to keep the reltionship active. It's hard though, especially when you're a student and all. But, planning to meet one specific day, talking on the phone and knowing how we look like is cool, too, I guess.
