Do you think one can find actual love on the internet?

Question

And have a successful relationship in real life if they met?

Take this into account.

Do you act the same on the internet as you do in real life?

Are you more open, or do you shield yourself and pick your words?

Now answer.

Answer 1

I definitely think it is possible. But there are significant disadvantages as well as advantages.

The greatest advantage lies in the fact that such a relationship can actually begin on the spiritual/intellectual plane. The spiritual bond formed between the two will, when it has become strong enough, seek to cross over into the emotional plane (simply put: to expand from the head into the heart). And when their emotional bond has, in turn, become strong enough, it will seek to cross over into the physical sphere. This is when physical appearance become important; whereas "in real life", love on first sight is *always* love of physical appearance: one's first impression is *always* physical there.

Of course, one cannot really know a person's physical appearance from pictures or even video footage alone. By "physical appearance" I do not just mean looks, but also sound (of one's voice, most importantly), smell (very important!), etc. But one cannot even know a person's *looks* from pictures or video footage. For they will always look different in real life.

The advantage of a relationship that has begun on the internet is that, if the people concerned meet in real life and are physically attracted to one another, they already have a deep spiritual and emotional bond on top of the physical attraction; whereas even with "love on first sight", it always remains to be seen if the love will rise above the physical plain and reach the summits of emotional and even spiritual attachment.

Answer 2

Sure you can, but you have to be very, very careful.  You hear it on the news so many times that someone was murdered after meeting someone on the internet.  People tend to be more open when they can't see a person face to face.  Some make up stories to make themselves look better than they actually are.  On the flip side, there are those who are honest and really want a relationship.  Never give your home address, phone # or work place.  Always meet in a public place and don't go home with them until you know for sure they are legit.  It's so easy for a shy person to communicate on the internet than talk in person.  it can and does happen.  Just be on your gaurd.

Answer 3

Anything is possible however improbable.  So yes it could happen.

Answer 4

Yes. For hundreds of years, people have fallen in love by MAIL, which is the older version of e-mail. I myself married a Filipina I met through the mails.

I am the same always, in person, by mail, e-mail, whatever.

I think via e-mail (or mail) is better, because people do not see all the glitter, you can't pretend by taking a gal out to ritzy restaurants, etc.

At any case, I am never open; every one picks their words, it is just a matter of what slant do they use.

Answer 5

yes it is possible, anything is possible. my aunty found someone from the internet and has been happily married for 30 years with 4 children. Just be yourself on the internet, and before you meet maybe have a few convos on the phone, or headphones.. and see eachotehr on webcam so u no what your expecting. im more open on the internet because im one of those girls that are shy around guys.  but apart from that im being myself, i dont pick words i just type whatever i would say in the real world.

hope i helped you and goodluck if u do try to find love.

:D

Answer 6

Not actual love on the Internet & only the Internet - sooner or later, for it to ever be even remotely -close- to "true love", the folks involved are going to have to meet face-to-face.

The Internet does, however, provide many useful tools that enable one to explore the world of dating and relationships - it lets interested parties find each other more easily so they can compare interests & personalities before a meeting ever occurs. That saves some folks quite a lot of time wasted on dating folks who are clearly very incompatible with them.

You may well find your soulmate by responding to an online personal ad, but only so long as you don't stop there.

Answer 7

If I fell for someone on the internet they would be very, very disappointed when they found out how awkward and un-clever I really am.

Answer 8

Anything is possible, but I would never think of doing that.

Answer 9

Sure, love is just an emotion manifested by our brains and natural instincts.  

Answer 10
