Declarations of love.

I posted this on someone's blog but thought it might be worth making my own blog on the subject,so here goes.

I watched the Forums and blogs for a long while before I decided to sign up. When you are not involved so to speak you see things from a different perspective,and I have watched with curiosity, and some amusement I might add ,people make declarations of love, both here and in the Forums.

Now while I might be optimistic of people's hopes and dreams, I have to say I am pessimistic when neither of the party's concerned have actually met!

I've seen couples loved up so to speak only to end up falling out in a very public area,which is not only hurtful to them,but embarrassing for those having to stand by and watch one person's hopes and dreams be smashed.

As this site introduces people from so many different walks of life it would be foolish,in my humble opinion, to shout to the World " I love him/her and want to spend my life with them" when the probabilities say different.

How do we know that we love someone just by an internet connection? It's an emotion that takes us over and sweeps us along, and of course everyone joins in this very public display.

I'm sure that there are many on here that have been in love with the idea of being in love, but some need to take a reality check, as they are toying with people's emotions ,and at times someone is going to get hurt.

We all need to stop and think sometimes that this is not the real world,and outside of here there is a completely different place that is called reality.

I say good luck to anyone that actually does have the possibilities of making that special connection,but until they meet and confirm their feelings, keep it to yourselves. j.m.o


In addition to my blog I would also question why someone would get their children involved in their online connections.

It's ok for you to "fall in love" as the adult in the situation, but what if you have kids?

They have presumably been through the trauma of parents splitting up. Don't you think it unfair to expect them to accept a complete stranger ,be taken out of a family environment and moved to a strange country with different cultures ,language ,food etc.

Just a thought!
