mylifewithu: I believe you have it , real love is two hearts connected!! Everything else is simple if you are both people who respect each other and willing to work out any and all things thrown at you guys.
I think you can have your heart committed to him a bit at a time, when you meet and you know it is right, then it is time to committ your whole heart to him. I think it is safest tho to wait until you know his heart is committed to you also before giving all of yours. It depends how much you two know about each other and how much you really do connect.


and Alex? the waiting is one of the hardest parts, capture and tame that and you will see more clearlyhug

i couldn;t wait 5 years to meet someone i liked. i have been talking emailing/ Im and phone, to smeone here and having to wait 2 weeks to meet him has been torture- can't wait!! but it is so nice to be able to actually converse with someone and find out a bit about them as opposed to sme random guy you find attractive in a bar.and then , if there is the same spark IRL, as we both feel so far- then it's all goodyay wish me luckgrin smitten

shipoker55: have to disagree (surprise, surprise).**But being online you are not really seeing them, but feelings can run just as deepPersonally, I don't think the feelings can run as deep, until you actually meet. I believe that on linme, you become infatuated with an image. But until you meet, I don't believe it's love!!

JMO, of course


And your "opinion" is very correct..thumbs up Some so much want to be "loved" that they let their minds run wild and believe all the BS tossed their way..sigh

2catchastar: Reading a couple of threads, has got me thinking about online relationships. There diferent then any other kind of relationship. And fairly new. So what I would like to know is, How does a person know that they have a serious relationship? How do you know when it is exclusive, and time to take your self off the market so to speak?
Generally I would say, either when you both agree, or after you have met. But there are people who would like to meet, but for one reason or another have to wait to meet. If you met a guy/girl face to face, dated and did all the things you would normally do, you pretty much have a good idea as to when it is ok to say sorry I am seeing some one. But being online you are not really seeing them, but feelings can run just as deep. But you know you have not met, and that could change a lot. There are a lot of online relationships I do not understand as it is all pretty new to me.


on lien relationship?

well yes they are
and to tell the truth then can be as reals as we want them to be, or they are as fake as we want them to be

but on line relationshp is not a real relationship in the terms of true love or true friendship

we become friends of the imagine the person give us, but, is that the real person?

we are only penpals with strangers
unless we meet each other face to face, there is not way to know anyting about them
yes we develop feeling
to what? mails we get, sometimes voices we hear on the phone
are they real?

i dont want to go into argument, but i dot belive online relationship are real one, people say, "we are in love": and then "but we have to meet to check whether the chemistry is there or not"

when we are in love, is becuase te chamistry is there, if not, we are in love of leters on a screen, voices over the phone, but we are not in love of the person

as to kknow whether the other one is real or not, whether the other one meant what he says or not, yes
there are ways to find that
it is really easy

whicjh are those way (sorry i will not post them in publiv forums)

you can be sure of your feelings, and you can agree to take yourself of the market, but how will you find he/she took him/herself of the market

i have founf here in CS people that in other dating site, they claim to meet the "one" they have a connection and not looking, but here in CS they are actively looking

I think you have to meet as soon as possible and spend as much time together as possible...you can't have a real relationship with someone on-line...you have to spend time together...thumbs up

And in my experience, the worst thing is not about meeting each other at last [and possibly being disappointed, as many people fear] - the worst is when it's taking forever to meet, and you never do in the end....

bluebelle4000: Hi there
online relationship hmm not sure about that... as we all know u can talk and talk here for months but its not till the person is sitting in front of you that u know its for real and start dating properly... now to continue a realtionship online after you have met and u know there is a connection thats totally different... if you have to wait to meet then i for one would not say i was in a relationship... but thats just me... K x
thumbs up

Still, I think it is necessary to spend a lot of time with someone ... in person, day to day life or there to be a true relationship...

Yup, the meeting is sort of a first test together - can you pass it successfully? Cos sometimes suddenly all kinds of 'obstacles' come up - don't have the $$$ to travel, can't get time off work, can't board the dogs at a kennel, don't know what my kids will say about it all, etc etc etc etc.... Then you can sort of see just how "true" the love was....

I can't say I ever expected to wait that long ... it just kind of happened dunno it is MUCH easier for me to communicate on line than it is in person.

GOOD LUCK with the new guy! I really do hope it works out for you!

hug cheers

My last relationship, we spent 2 months chatting online, the phone, e-mails, web cam, etc. She lived 650 miles from me and could not meet her until after 2 months.

I fell in love with her only after a month of talking and she felt the same. When we met face to face, the sparks flew for both of us. While I drove to her house the 1st time we met, I was saying prayers that our love was real.

I could not believe it was real until I did meet her and touched her and looked into her eyes.

Just my opinion, but I believe you do have to meet face to face...there is no logical explaination, but the sense of reality kicked in only at the 1st meeting.

Good luck to you Alex....hug

I think there comes a point when you actually need to discuss it, just as if you were dating, and decide whether or not you want to pursue this relationship exclusively. When you are both in agreement, take yourself out of the running. I wouldn't do it before then though.
