Loving someone on the internet

[jetbluerocks]

I love someone on the internet and we have seen each other before. Is this weird? Some of my friends think it is but I've actually seen her before....

Well, realistically, if you've seen this person and they aren't a 40 year old, and they are actually who they say they are, it's not weird to me.

As long as you have seen them and they aren't lying that's not weird. You love who you love!

It not weird. some people can fall for personaility alone, yet its the internet. I could say i was a 13 year old australian girl that has a eskimo background and i bet people would believe me. Its ok to have interent crushes because people can say all the right things without pressure, yet careful of meeting ur crush because it could be dangerous and not what it seems

It's not that weird to me.
People are old fashioned, but realistically, with millions of people in the US alone, using the internet to find someone you love is great. Plus it cancels out the unimportant "looks" factor until later when you know them better.

Thank....this topic, I have fell in love with a girl over the net (from a real life friend) but we both have webcam, were very alike and just love eachother and we'll meet sometime when we get the chance too and then, go out together ^_^

Internet relationship with my current boyfriend, he lives in New York, I live in Texas.
He's coming to see me next month, I've seen him on cam and everything.
Nine months together, everything is going great.

If you've met her, and know who she is, it's definitely not weird. It can be a strain being limited in the time you get to be together, I know that much firsthand, but having to do a majority of your talking online isn't weird.

I met my boyfriend over the internet, a million years ago it seems like, and we've spent the last two summers together. This summer, I get to go visit him in England (and I am so freaking excited!). It's not ideal, I'd much rather we live closer together, but an internet-based relationship has the potential to work out. Within the next year he'll be moving out here permanently; we talk every day; a marriage is even in the works.

The bottom line about online relationships is this: meet up at some point, make sure they're who they say they are and that you have some chemistry in person as well as online, and then let things go how they will. Don't rush into a commitment with someone you've never met; be smart about it. It's alright to give things a chance, though, and I don't think that's weird at all.
