I am at a loss........
I am at a loss for words!I dont even now where or how to start?
Long story short.
Man talks to Woman on chat site.
Man & Woman have never met.
Over short period Man decides he's "in Love" with said Woman.
(which i think is idiotic & childish)
Time goes by, man still hasnt met Woman.
(they live in different country's by the way)
Man thinks he is now in a "relationship" with Woman he has never physically met.
Now man is going to propose to said Woman he has NEVER met.
People in chat tell him its alright and he should go for it.
Is it just me? Am i the only logical person who thinks this is f#$king retarded and INSANE?
There are SO many factors to consider before even saying the "L" word to a person. Let alone dropping the "M" word on someone who you know NOTHING about!
I dont care how honest you think someone is being online.
You DO NOT know the person until you spend quality time with them. This internet world allows people to be who ever they want to be. Do some people just not realise this? Or are they that blinded by desperation that they dont have common sense anymore?

Had a case about a month ago in South Africa where a 70 year old in Durban, met the love of his life in Johannesburg (about 600 km away) He flew to Johannesburg met her at the airport and went to her home. He has since disappeared and his banking account has been rifled. Police are investigating.

I get it. I am going through it BUT at the same time
we must keep a grip on reality. This is the cyber world
where people can be who ever they want to be.
There are some cases where people are genuine but its so
hard to judge.
Within myself, i cannot rationalise "falling in love" with
someone i have never met. I get that one can build a strong
bond, understanding and mutual respect with someone over the internet but love is so much more. There is so much to consider before you say those three deadly words.
Its commen sense. I guess its just up to the individual to
realise where you draw the line.
Here is a quote that i think is relevant to not only its
intended target but also to everyday life situtations.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God;
because, if there be one, he must more approve of
the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
I for one have to spend time with someone to really get a sense of who they are.
I mean I have "met" some interesting people on here and have had nice conversation.
But in all reality when is it appropriate to even consider meeting up with someone who lives across the country or in a different one completely?
Some people may be into the long distance relationship thing but at the same time, how can some people be so trusting and naive to think that they are in LOVE?!
I really don't understand it either ActusRues.
But good look in your conquest towards love, whether you find it here or bump into "the one" on a street corner unexpectedly.
How can u say u love someone without even having met! Love to me is such a strong word and shouldnt b thrown around lightly. I know who u are referring to actusreus. I shake my head in confusion and shock. Not having met and now proposing???? YIKES! People have to realize that until they meet its all just words..woozing the other person to make them seem all that. I believe you have to spend quality time with the person..ALOT of quality time. Sounds more of desperation than "L"
