I would say that after a number of years dojng this online stuff, I would call myself immune from "falling infatuation" online, simply because I know by experience, that it is so far removed from reality as to make it foolish, a waste of time, and potentially highly disappointing...which is why I reserve those sorts of feelings, if they develop, strictly to the domain of Real Life..

sweetowen: I'd have to agree, for the most part. Yes, you can be extremely infatuated with someone. Even very deeply "in like". But to truly be in love with someone, IMO, you have to meet them face-to-face & really get to know them.

Maybe that will happen someday.....

laugh wave You knew someone had to say it.

Sweet, I also wanted to respond to another thing you (and others) said, about how one cannot fall in love "virtually" - that love can only occur in so-called "real-life."

The argument is that one can't really know someone well enough to fall in love with until a certain quote of physical contact has been met.

I agree that one cannot be certain one's compatible with another until physical contact has occurred, but it is quite possible to love another person you have not met in person. I've experienced that, and so have many others (also, it is not illogical or impossible in any demonstrable sense that this can occur).

The usual counterargument is: "Well, when I finally met them in person, I realized I was in love with an illusion." Well, that may be true - and can apply equally as well to loving someone in "real life." More often than not, RL relationship break apart precisely because one or both parties realize they are projecting their own fantasies onto the other or are misapprehending them in some way.

He was actually the only person to whom i said here: "i'm in love with you"...

I'm not saying that I don't think about him when the computer's turned off. I've already told him that I do. But, to me, love is a very strong word... not to be toyed with. Love & hate are 2 of the strongest words a person can utter to another.

Love is a VERY strong word with me as well, Sweet. I've only used it twice in my life - and never before with someone I hadn't physically met...not until I met the wonderful, the incomparable, the...well you get the idea...GG. laugh smitten

I think "I'm in love with you" to be some of the most powerful and frightening words in human existence, so it was only with great caution and noble courage blushing that I was able to utter those words to someone I'd never physically met.

So what happened when we did physically meet? wow wow wow smitten smitten love love heart beating heart beating

But this is all about individual judgments - one cannot generalize. Only you can know when you're willing and able to give away your heart. I'm just claiming that it's possible to do that virtually, that's all.
