Is there such thing as online "true love" in CS? ( Archived) (177)

It depends upon what you seek. If one is busy placing unreal expectations what quality does one expect to find?
Many complain or ask if there are nice people here on CS
consider your worth and value in yourself then give that to others
you may find love when you are not obsessing about it.
When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

Love is something that does exist, but it has been so commonly misused, for manipulative reasons, that the meaning of the word love, and how to show it has been all but smashed.
All to often, people seem to think "I love you" is just a phrase of endearment, and toss it around like a hot cupcake...
From my experience, and watching the relationships of people I know, many seem oblivious to the fact of love being an action...not simply meaningless chatter.
I believe love is something you show by action.[/quote

It is true that we are measured by taking action and getting results
Many do manipulate for their own selfish gain.
Many can say but not do what they say kind of like a politician
Many will feed a bunch of BS to a person of all kinds of endearment but faith and love without works is dead.

Havlo,
I agree with every point you make, except one. True love can be found through a computer screen. I found it once and am using my laptop to try and find another. You see, my love, I found in 2000, I would have never met, or even bothered with, if I met him in person. I am somewhat shy and don't easily talk to men, behind me in the grocery store, one of the few stores I go to. I met my fiance', Scott, while working 24/7 in my graphic design business. I had no time to go out and meet people and didn't want to go to a bar and do so. So, I went on a paid match site, and he found my profile. He loved what I wrote, and he messaged me. Well, long story short, he was only 7 miles from me, living in a secluded place and when we eventually met and dated a few times, we fell in love, deeply and happily. I wrote a little about this, in my profile. If it wasn't for my going online, to that match site, I wouldn't met him. We were so happy, until he passed away from lung cancer. Then I met another, the same way, was engaged to him for 6 years, only to find he left me for a younger, rich woman. I heard from neighbors and his old customers, how he told everyone I was his mom and so much horrible things, it broke my heart. He bragged how he was using me, my house, my truck and my income to build his successful business, using it to meet other women, and then left. So, the moral of this story, is just like on these sites, you have the good and the scammers, online and off. But, will I stop my searching, no, for this, I feel is a safer way to get to know someone than just going out with someone, you just met, in your town. You never know if he/she can be a slasher, until you go out with him/her and end up the victim. This way, with a computer, you get to message a lot, get to know the person, instant message and eventually talk on the phone. Then you can meet somewhere in public and you can be sure you pretty much know about the person then.
Otherwise, all your points are dead on. I would like to add one more thing, love is patient. If someone meets another on these sites, and the person is in the rush to tell you he/she loves you, quite soon after starting to message you, I would suspect that person as a scammer. There's no rushing love. Friendship should come first, then falling in love. Just another suggestion. I wish you all the very best in your search for the one you love....

I know several people who have found true love and happiness through the internet.
Okay, i have o,but thats understandable,its no use blaming the internet
