"Looks over"? Over where?

yeah, there's this thing called "a door" that is attched to one of the walls in that room you exist in. By turning the "knob" the door will open and you will be able to walk outside. Don't be afraid. This isn't illegal and you are perfectly safe. Walk outside, then walk around a bit, until you meet a real person.

it starts out that way, then if you and the person really mesh well together, then usually one or the other or both would like to meet in person. And once you have your first official date which is really a "blind" date without anyone else hooking you up...in my opinion it can only go but 3 ways...

1) The other person doesn't like what you look like or decide that you were cool online but not in person, so from there on, the connection is a dud. Everytime you log on the other person logs off.

2) You don't like what the other person looks like, or you don't like their personality in person and decide that the whole thing is a dud.

3) The two of you mesh well together and schedule another date....then you find out 6 months later that he/she is the zodiac killer.

Finally an answer...sorta.

I'm starting to think that one must be a member of some sort of Secret Online Romance Society in order to get any of it's members, or those that know the "truth" to spill the beans on the Society's practices.

Turn dat frown upside down now!!


...and...you know what romances that start online are actually alot more common than they initially seemed! Talkin to ppl at work, it's becoming as common as meeting people say at a bar or club! It happenz, but like any situation, you gotta be both be willing to make it work, for it to work. It'z not a matter of your relationship being the subject of statisticz or opinion...like anything in life...it'z what you make it! ANd what you feel comfortable with, etc. Just my opinion...

So one can find real friends online like on the org but online romances aren't real??
I am a bit confused..

shanti0608 said:

No they are real too...anything that involves your heart is "real"...

I supose what most folks are trying to say is the trouble with online romance is when you get emotionally tied to someone who you have not met/ may never meet, when they or you are involved with someone else...when distance is too much to overcome and the funds aren't available to visit as often as you would like, when your lives are already established in different cities and neither of you are willing or able to move... there's just so much to consider.Getting yourself tied up witha person you can not touch on a regular basis is a stressful and heartbreaking thing.

Relationships are about sharing your life with someone, how can you do that completely with someone you are hardly ever in the same room with? I'm not saying it's impossible just really fucking hard to maintain.

Seems easier to be friends with folks online, healthier in the long run too.

That said...if you are able to find someone online that lives in your area and has none of the troubles I previously mentioned I see no problem meeting some place for a few drinks and seeing what happens.

And...I'm sorry La Coyta it sucks but as trite as it sounds there are more fish in the sea. Forget him and go out and find a better man!

Very well said..

I must add that all relationships are a lot of work.. even if you live with the person and see them everyday...
I feel all alone most of the time and I have someone sleeping in my bed..
