See, that's different to me because you'd already met and the emailing and chat was just an extension or other form of communication like talking on the phone. But someone that you meet online and develop a relationship love or what have you, I don't know, it seems a bit different to me.

As far as "dating sites", no. The possibility of people randomly hooking up on a site such as this, sure. No one needs to present themselves in the best light.
There's some intellectual types here, if I were single, and younger, be discreetly stalking. NOT Glenn Close stalking, or anything.....

I guess it helps if you are photogenic (I never, ever look good in photo's, nd i hate having my picture taken for anything).

Lets face it, physical attraction would still help in the online world as it does the outside world right?

I used to say never - I have learned to never say never....

I know what you mean, I use to say that to until I found myself face to face with my "I'll never's" and my "moral high grounds"(yes, there's been a few), it wakes you up real quick.

Anything is possible

"anything is possible, if you put ur mind to it"

"Falling in love on the internet?"

Does not compute.

JustErin said:

Is my wording that bad

How about "can u fall in love on the internet?"

thesexofit said:

No, I meant the concept does not compute for me.

I just don't get it.

JustErin said:

No I dont either. I dont get it for the reasons I stated above (mainly no body contact, and i have found body contact tells me alot about how a person feels about me, which just cannot happen over a computer screen). I guess I rely on certain chemistry traits like eye contact, smiling, listening, flirting...all simple shit that I just cannot seem to do online.

What about you? Ur good looking, so at least people will be interested in you. In real life, i have to rely on personality and charisma, things that i just cannot do online.

thesexofit said:

I don't do online dating, period. I need to know people in real life to become romantically (or sexually) interested in them.

I can chat with people online, I can even really like them as a person but it would never lead to anything unless I meet them and see what it's like in person.

I just don't feel any real attraction to people via this medium. Sure, I can think someone is cute or hot from their pics but that's about it...it kinda just stops right there.

I met the love of my life right here on the org....

Married almost 1 year now and growing closer everyday...

Yep. It works. If the people involved are open, honest, and mature enough with one another.

Are you stalking me?

MissMe said:

just browsing....

My cousin met his girlfriend (who is now also MY room mate) through the internet. Some online chat. They decided to meet and have been together now for 5 years.

Do you want to browse in private?

MissMe said:

Private Browsing, is he related to General Discussion ?
