Personally speaking, it is OUR love...just OURS.

Like a new born child...it needs to be nurtured in a secure and clean environment, free from too much noise and clamour.

Got to treat it with the utmost care and gentleness...it's not a trophy Riya.wine

Web cams come in very handy when it comes to online dating or relating, You can see their eyes and reactions to questions and answers.

Because most are not strong enough to stand by their feelings.

I think so too. I would find it difficult to say a thing. I find it too personal and special.

Well at the risk of sounding as though I'm placing too much importance on physical appearance, I have to say that I have been disappointed with the online dates I had.

As I've already said, I would now rather make up my mind about a possible relationship/date by first seeing somebody in the flesh rather than a photo. Of course I could become emotionally attached to somebody by prolonged e-mail and phone calls but there has to be some physical chemistry too. How do you know if this person you communicate with washes or brushes his/her teeth regularly? You could be writing and talking to somebody only to find out that he/she is real stinky!

Appearance does matter, despite what many people say here, but fortunately we all have our own preferences so there should be no losers.

Because people think more highly of themselves than they ought to.
Then as they see the dat approaching for a meeting, they sre sfraid of the reality of what is suddemly upon them.

In other words, people are liars, and misrepresent the truth.

Add the fact that so many are just here playing people for fools.

Going back to the part of having to meet someone: It is more than that. I had known my last girlfriend for 18 years. We were in love for 18 months. Saw each other every 2-6 weeks as we lived 800 miles apart. Her life got real difficult come October of this year when she decided that she could not put what she needed into the relationship with the realities of her life today. She let me go. I feel dead inside. U have to be able to give a relationship more than a love letter - U have to be able to hold it, curl up with it, listen to it and then kiss it goodnight. I am no stranger to long seperations as I spent 8 yrs in the US Navy, but to do another year or two is to much for her. My advice - make friends here and keep Ur lovers local. kiss

Chemistry is vital, make no mistake Jan!

In my opinion, you are absolutely right to think this way...I will to if you don't mind?laugh

I find a pleasing form, and appearance, to be very much prefered!


Of course, all this amounts to what WE hold as being attractive.


Oh the joys of free will!smitten

Other times you can "fall in love" (not literally) with a person through their writings. Some people can express them selves so well and so beautifully using that medium but are not quite as eloquent in person.

In that instance an on going email dialogue can be more beneficial than a quick meet where you might dismiss the person without really getting to know them.

Confused yet?

Because we made picture about person from “another side” as we imagine her/him. And after few conversations we understand that imagination is false. Usually that cause our disappointment, and next time when we try to meet someone we do it with less courage and less will.
Jokes which we make or some sentence other side do not understand on the way which we wont. All that make problems to take another step – I think.

thumbs down My flight has been delayed if it gets off of the ground at all. I only have a real small window of opportunity to see her on this trip and if the flight gets cancelled I may not get to see her at all. doh I was supposed to leave yesterday but several things have come up to prevent it and now It's like I am not supposed to go at all. What should I do?confused If I show up on her doorstep at 2am she is not going to be as pleasant about it as if I arrived at 10pm as originally planned. I can't call her as that ends the suprise. And no I'm not worried about anybody else being there.wow doh
