I have changed my mind. You could just be too young.

My brother met his girlfriend from Argentina 6 years ago through the internet. She's now living in Holland for 3 years and they have a beautiful baby boy 2gether.

Hope he was a bargain!

It sure does...but it makes us alive and we grown from it. So it is all good.

all the Org hookups, marriages and babies and some of ya'll are doggin' internet relationships...


stop the madness....

I don't think it's the greatest idea, but it can happen.

Internet relationships tend to be more intimate than real ones....because you are actually TALKING TALKING TALKING. There is no sex (real sex...um ew.) involved. In RL relationships al ot of the times it gets ssexual before you really know eachother. But the intamacy of getting to know someones dreams, insecurities, quirks, EVERYTHING and is far more intimate than just knowing them sexually.


Nothing tops the REAL thing though, of course.

No. But once I fell in love with our housekeeper robot.

i think the methods people use to meet each other evolve with the times...i think the internet is as useful today as ice cream socials used to be back in the old timey days...and now, even if you WANTED to go to an ice cream social to meet someone, you'd still have to wait for your myspace invite to attend one!

i think HOW you find someone is less important than how you choose to get to know them and develop the relationship. i think you have to be really cautious and take a lot of time making sure you have a strong sense of the person in "real time". i think a lot of people meet folks online and get all idealistic and romantic before really "doing the work" of making sure their online romeo is someone they could live with, raise kids with, share finances with, etc. etc. blah blah...then they put too many eggs in one basket and the "real time" version of the online romeo doesn't quite meet the idealized "virtual" version, and that's where it gets gross.

i think using the internet as a CATALYST for social interaction is great. using it as a SUBSTITUTION for really getting a sense of who other people are...not so great.

Some folks already have significant others at home too.

To me falling in love is a big word, but I do have crushes. They change from day to day. Right now I have a crush on Statuesqque. She looks very cute and sweet in that boxing picture.

so true

Anxiety said:

Right.

I think the notion of falling in love with someone you've never met and have never spent time with is ridiculous. You very well MAY BE in love with them....but expecting things to jsut SMOOTHLY work out in real life and expectations to be met, is far fetched.

I think a lot of it is escaping reality.

I have.....

I haven't fallen in love on the internet, but I think that it is very possible

it's possible, but rare. It's far easier to fall in lust over the internet

BlackAdder7 said:

Well thats the same with real life.

Yup.

Anxiety said:

1 hundred percent agree.

sometimes I think going home drunk with someone at closing time is not such a good idea

ZombieKitten said:

good point.

Rhondab said:

it is how I met my husband

i can think of quite a few orgers who have married each other and or are in serious relationships

there should be a section for their wedding pictures in the org gallery.. lol

Two different people at my work have met their spouses online. They seem happy, I would have never guessed!

Agreed.
