is it possible to fall in love online? or maybe, ...perhaps even like a best friend type of love? is it ridiculous if you've known the person for a long time?
15/f
I've been with my boyfriend for 9 months and i met him on myspace. [yea, we've met for real as well, he's been to visit me and I him]I personally think it's easier to fall in love with someone over the internet than it is in person because all you have to base your friendship on is what you know about them and trust. When all you're able to do is talk you end up disclosing so much more to someone than you would with some cute guy or girl you meet in class or something. It's all a matter of discovering who the person is before pretty much anything online. [ FoLLoWtHeLeADeR09's advice column | Ask FoLLoWtHeLeADeR09 A Question ]

Speaking from experience, I have been in love with someone over the internet. We were together for 4 years and went very strong. Yes, it ended, but it had nothing to do with the fact that we wanted other people.
Online love definitely is not a shallow love, it can be pretty powerful, but rare. It's just so rare that you'll find a great guy who won't be cheating or dong things you won't ever know. I don't encourage it, I tell you to be careful and very patient.
Duckii answered Sunday August 12 2007, 12:34 am: Yeup its possible . and their are pro's and cons to it.
Pro's..
You get to know the persons soul and thats what you fall in love with instead of their outside.
Con's
You don't know if its the same person all the time. For example.
Someone else could be getting on that persons profile/screen name..or whatever pretending to be that person. [ Duckii's advice column | Ask Duckii A Question ]

LOL_x0x answered Saturday August 11 2007, 5:31 pm: I think it could be possible. If you really get to know the person, and you really get a feel for who they are.
The other aspect that would make this possible, is honesty. Like the person below me said, it's human nature to hide our faults. It's so easy to online, but if you really show the person who you are, then sure, you can fall in love with each other.
I don't think it's ridiculous if you've known the person awhile. Either way, you're getting to know them. Therefore, I disagree with some of the people below me, and I say, sure you can fall in love =]
WittyUsernameHere answered Saturday August 11 2007, 4:43 pm: Online love is not real.
Why?
It is human nature to hide our faults as best we can from others. In no place does this work better than online.
Falling in love online is a shallow love. You arent able to really get to know each other the way you can in person.
Now, a good idea is to get to know someone you already know, online.
Aim is actually quite the useful tool for breaking the ice with people you know in real life. Ive used it more than once to get past those first two conversations that are always alkward, even to ask someone out on a first date.
XxIzabellersxX answered Saturday August 11 2007, 3:19 pm: No its not impossible but just becareful. If you've never met them before they might not turn out to be the person who you thought they were. If your thinking of meeting this person bring someone with you who can see you most of the time. Just incase its some really good pedifile lmao jk no but seriously even if its not. Your communicating through a computer you have no idea what their like in real life so don't fall for them too quickly. =) Hope I helped [ XxIzabellersxX's advice column | Ask XxIzabellersxX A Question ]
rhiana1232 answered Saturday August 11 2007, 3:17 pm: Well, I guess it is possible to fall in love online.
But it's definitely not safe. I would never do that. That's why I don't have a myspace. There's too much drama on it. [ rhiana1232's advice column | Ask rhiana1232 A Question ]
