Would you fall in love with someone on the internet?

@nectar Said
I'm somebody that has! Never thought in a million years it would happen this way. We met through a forum similar to this one, with no intention of striking up a relationship however, we are both glad it's happened and are both very happy.

In hindsight, I don't see it being different to the days of having pen-pals, before computers came along. You can learn such a lot more from a person through MSN'ing/Yahoo Messaging etc. (providing you're honest with one another, of course.)

When we finally met, after 5 months, we were both very nervous, but after the initial nervousness it was like we'd known each other for years.

I know of a number of online relationships that have worked and are still going strong.

yay... its easy isnt it

@nectar Said
Yes, it does seem to be easy. However, I do stress that you should always be truthful about yourself, and hope that the other person is too.

@andrewsh Said
we are, always

@alan82 Said
ive had it happen a couple of times actually. and yes you should always be truthful about yourself. why fake who you are on here and then IF you guys do meet up, they will see you were a fake and ruin any kinda trust you had earned or could have gained. plus, what is the point of faking who you are or what you are? never have understood that one!?

@nectar Said
That's good

I take it you've struck up an online relationship too?

@andrewsh Said
well it has potential

@nectar Said
Good! I hope it works out for you too.
