Very attached. I learned a new language, wrote reams of poetry and over a period of six months decided if our first meeting worked out I would relocate across the world. It was distressing when it didn't work out.

very attached when you really know what you are looking for and you find a person close to that
I think we should be very strict on chosing here, so we should figure out a lot of things before spending money on a travel. Try even an argument to see how he reacts, handle it.
There was this nice, sweet guy.We jumped to messenger. At our first chat, everything was over just because our chat was days after adding eachother, he couldn't remember me, then i was like "cris, from..." and continued wondering then i asked him if he had drank- this question was offensive to him! Mamamia...even if he was not a drinker...where on earth this is offensive? Take a hike!
I think it is a good place to meet people you would not get to otherwise. Through this you can choose to go visit them or not and see how it goes between you and them. As far as wanting to marry them or what ever else, I don't think it would be too good to use it that way, but good for breaking the ice and starters.
A personal note from myself is that I find without the intimacy involved I'm MUCH more able to be objective about letting go if I need to.
Being on this site for a while I've made attachments as if people here are a sort of family. When someone leaves the site (or many), I do feel a loss. I don't find myself forgetting them, who they are. I can and do let go, though - because it's realistic to do so.
Emotional attachments are tricky. It seems that the healthiest way for me is to get to know someone face to face, and, even then, dating without the intimacy for a nice period of time allows me to make better choices without the heartbreak or feelings of strong attachment that comes with jumping right into things. Some people are better able to separate their feelings from the physical act than others. I have a feeling that women are more vulnerable to those attachments but, I could be wrong.
The internet dating arena is an interesting medium for us all to 'start' to get to know each other.
dont you think that some people find it easier "connecting"via the internet as opposed to face to face..?? I personally enjoy the company of many people on this site..ad yes,..it can be addictive....we all come back...... I like some of your well thought questions Quiescent...........just so you know....
Yes, I do think it's easier. Not a whole lot of risk involved. I find it to be informative, as well. You know, some threads are more interesting than others. I say, "Let 'em twirl".
I know I have to set limits or I can stay online longer than I intended. lol
lol...exactly....let them twirl.... couldnt have put it better myself.... ..keep your limits just as they are.. i dont think its a case of how interesting the threads are..because as you say...they can be informative.."how many pints of beer can you suck up your nose through a straw.....lol.....keep asking!!!!!.....
