Love

[Nicole]

I was just wondering if anyone here has fallen in love online?

I am talking real love here. If you have how long did it last or is it still going???

You see I have and I just wanted to know if this is normal (although what is normal?).

I Know it is love because I would walk water to be with this man. I think of him 24 hours a day and walk around with this stupid grin on my face all the time. I'll burst out laughing for no apparent reason and I get all these different feelings when he is online with me. When he isn't I feel lost and lonely, with only my thoughts to get me through.

I really would appriciate some response here.

Oh and I LOVE YOU baby xxxxxxxxxxx

I was wondering if I was the only one to have fallen in love on line. I met a woman in a chat room one night and we exchanged phone numbers. It started out just talking as friends because i was having trouble with my ex-girlfriend. That was six months ago. Even though we have never met in person, we talk to each other everyday and write to each other as often as we can. Luckily, she is moving out here this summer so we can finally be together. I know alot of people would think this is highly irregular, but we both love each other very much, and i cant wait until she is here with me.

I fell for a girl over the net too... And all I can say is that she is just SWELL!

In fact I wrote a line of prose JUST for her!

Hope she likes it!

Here goes... You all ready?! *Ahem* Clearing my throat... Much better... Now... Oh, yes! The prose! Almost forgot...

Take from me my heart and place it within the frame of the moon so that all who draw breath in the night may bask in the shimmering light of my love for thee.

My husband and I met online. Luckily we both lived in the same city. (I think it's stupid when people try to engage in a long distance online relationship. More times than non the people never meet, etc.)

Interesting topic. A friend of mine bought his wife a computer for Xmas, and she wound up leaving him for a guy she met in a chat room.

Wellll.. If you're wondering, read my story series 'Good things come to those..' It's about falling in love online, and it's non-fictional.

I didn't really know what love was before I met Christopher online-- I thought it was, but it was all infatuation. About MY feelings-- 'I feel so\He makes me\I've never felt like this.' I'd always been so self-absorbed I never knew what it was like to live my life for another person.

To this day it's the thought of him that dictates my actions, 24 hours a day. When I first thought I was in love with him, I still didn't know what love was, and I was wrong. I'd say I still don't know completely, but each and every day, I'm learning. I don't know where I'd be without him.. He's my best friend.

I too have fallen in love on-line, but for me it have crashed and burned every time.

After it have happend around 3 times, I decided that all I'm looking for on-line is friendship. And if things work out between the woman and I, I'm willing to visit her, or have her visit me, and we can see how things work out in real life.

It also makes it very difficult that most women I've met on-line are from the states, so it isn't very easy to get together with them.

But I have finally met another person from Europe on-line, and her and I get along great, and are becoming very good friends. And some day we will meet, I just have to do something first!

You guys DO know that Raven is talking about me, don't you?

Guilty ... maybe a bad choice of words. I always scoffed at the very idea of it before it just sort of happened. The primary difference between it and all other relationships that I have been in is that the initial attraction was not physical. Sounds kind of shallow, sorry. Anyway the relationship had developed to the truly, madly, deeply point without physicallity. I have never felt like this before at all, let alone without an actual physical encounter. Pretty amazing, at least to me.

Didn't work out. She thought I was too small, too ugly and generally unattractive in RL.
Ah, well.......

 

[Golden]

Ravenloft - your prose piece brought tears to my eyes ... can't even see t proof-read preporly ....

Sheesh..and I so like to think of myself as an individual.

Oh well. I felt the same way that Expertise did...and then I came across my australian. He's absolutely the most incredible human being. I admire him so much-and he never fails to surprise me with his wit, humor, and intelligence. Still holdin' out to meet at this point, much to my dismay. It's really hard and odd, the whole progression of this sort of relationship. It started out just like writing to a diary. I felt as if I could tell him anything because he was this stranger on the other side of the earth. Now about a year and a half later...I feel I still can tell him anything, but for different reasons-except I have become apprehensive when it comes to our relationship. I can't even bring myself to date other guys. Oh, and I have tried. The last one...when I kissed him-all I could think and hear in my head was my corey. I ached inside that it wasn't him. I promptly said goodnight to my slightly stunned date.
Ah...rammbling, me? How unlikely

 

[Nicole]

Melody do I hear you girl

You see we are in the same situation as you, me here in Australia and him over there in the States. It does make it extremly hard and also very confusing. I also seem to have the same problems in the Dating Stakes. You feel like you are being completly unfaithful. Mind you though this is where (just like any Relationship) Trust comes into it, and yes I do trust him (although he is probably saying "yer Right babe"). You see he has many online friends and I have some of my own also, and yes I do get jealous but that is just my nature. When I am on an emotional streak I get extremly jealous but he reassures me often which helps.

Also Melody if you are like me you want to let the world know just how you feel. I want to stand at the highest point and yell " Hey everybody I love Jason". Of course that could just be me though

By the way Bossy if you could Please keep your mits off my man I would really appriciate it

I'm not a very nice person to fight with you know, Just ask my good friend Renee (whom I miss dearly)

Oh and sweetheart I LOVE YOU xxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Looking around nervously*

Should I tell Nikki about my Norma Jeane blow up doll???

Poor Shy Guy.

No wonder you're so shy hon! hang in there. Ture love is out there for everyone!

Thanks a lot for the encouragement.

And I know that someday I'll meet a woman and fall head over heels in love with her.

For now I just enjoy getting to know all those nice women on-line, and meet a few of them. I sure have made some good friendships here!

It happens, and I think as more and more people spend larger parts of their lives connected we'll see it become a more common thing.

I met my sweetie online. We became aquaintances, and then friends, and in time we fell in love. I knew her for about eight months before we finally met in person, and we spent a further year apart before I finally moved to where we could be together. The phone bills almost broke us, but we made the long distance thing work. It been two years together now, and I still can't beleive how lucky I am to have found her. In truth, I don't think its any different than the stories about pen pals who would fall in love. The response time between replies is just a little quicker.

Unfortunately, my whole family thought I was nuts, and didn't approve...and the end result is a nasty estrangement. But my mate and I are still together, still very much in love, and have trouble imagining what life would be like if we weren't together.

On the other hand, I must stress very strongly that for every online romance I've seen flourish, I've seen three that folded. I have seen people completely burn their bridges for what was a painfully misplaced infatuation. Really ~knowing~ the person on the other side of the modem is crucial above all else.

*and with that, the long winded newbie has a seat*
