Online Love... Is this wrong?

"Why is this in the gay bar?"
I guess i didn't look at the forum topic... stupid me...... *doh*




Okay I'm 14 years old, and ever since 2006 in may, I fell in love with this guy. ONLINE. :confused:
It all started out in Late 2005. When we met on the internet. He got a girlfriend a month after we met online, and I didn't care. No really. Then time flies by, I get to know him ALOT more, (Like secrets more) he's 2 yrs older than I am and lives way west US and i'm in the southen US. August rolled around, He broke up with his girlfriend, But that didn't change how I felt about him. Now was the time I should tell him I like-liked him and then he tells me his true feelings. The week after we met online, He wanted to meet me sooo badly in real life and wanted to kiss me. I was shocked, yet, :wub: It felt heartwarming.... He said he still kinda like-likes me. Just recently, I accidentaly DIALED HIS PHONENUMBER!!!

Now I know he isn't lying about himself... So... Should I still like him? I mean, what should I do? I know his phonenumber, His email address, about his family, his full name, and the zipcode he's in. Now what?




BTW im just asking you if i should still like him

??? Why is this in the Gay Bar? This is a straight relationship!

You can still like him, and maybe if you really know this guy is ok, you could meet him. Although you shouldn't do this like stealthily...maybe you should meet in rl, but your parents should talk with his if you do.
And also, it would be cool to meet, but what if you find out not liking him after all? That could happen *shrugs*

i voted yes because it looks like you have both got strong feelings for eachother and he is not an internet preditor (you can never be to careful). good luck and i hope you find love with one another.

Should you decide to meet in real life, bring a concealed kitchen knife. Just in case. No jokes.

just be careful make sure your parents know eachother etc...
i've met Rudi a really good friend of mine who lives on the otherside of Canada
and i've met Matt twice he lives in San Fransisco

I met them both here on VT

I don't think it is necessarly wrong. I just recently met a really nice guy, and he lives on the other side of the US. But make sure he is telling the truth, because if he turns out to be some old man, that would be really bad, and he might end up hurting you. Other then that however, I think you should go for it. If you really think that he is great guy, then I say go for it.

As long as he doesn't want to meet you somewhere....

Me and my current girlfriend met online, and met together in real life, we now are together, but use caution when taking an online relationship further.

Kinda sorta like Emryl, I have recently literally fallen in love with someone I met online....and I'm completely sure that, that individual is no online sexual predator.

I'm a very, very secretive person..and I don't give out a lot of personal information..especially on first encounters...as my user name here does not even reflect who I am....although I would say that I am becoming a little bit more relaxed about my identity online...but, I tend to be incognito when I meet new people over the internet..it's a way for me to protect my true identity...as I've been screwed before...big lesson learned....After a bit, and iff..that's if and only if...I feel comfortable with the person I'm talkin with do I reveal who I really am.

Back to the case of the individual who I have fallen in love with...that person and I have spoken for eh..the exact duration of our relationship is not pertinent to this post so...I'll just say that person and I have spoken long enough for me to become comfortable with talking to him...He knows my asl and I know his..and over the course we've known each other we both know what each other look like..and it just so happens that, over the course of talking to each other, we both have..more or less fallen in love. This guy is literally a blessing and I never want to lose him..and he knows that..and I'm 99.9% certain that this guy won't screw me over..the other .1 will come when we meet for the first time..which is something that we have talked about..and we will do sometime in the near future.

There is no moral wrong in this. Its the practicality of the situation (ie distance) that would be a stumbling block.

Trust me. He's telling.

Online "Romantic" love? It's not wrong, but it probably won't work out that well...

ive talked to many people on the phone and online that i dont know personally. i guess its just normal. i also mentioned to a few people that i wanted to meet them too. i also had online relationships with some girls, i think 4 girls that i never met before. it might be normal? but it never worked out because me and the girl(s) both decided it would be hard to meet because one lived in Canada, Alabama, South Carolina, Canada again, and 4 hours away from me. actually thats 5 girls i guess lol. but yea, just make sure you know who you're talkin to, dont get hurt. i hate predators. =[ . at least ask him if he has a web cam or something to show that he is REAL. a picture wont do much, cause he could just PHOTOSHOP fake stuff in. so be careful and goodluck
