Ah, yes. Until you meet someone and date them once or twice a week in “real life” you don’t have a relationship you have a fantasy of one! For all you know your typing back and forth with some hairy 500 lb man, ha! Jk – plus you may like someone’s writing, the way the articulate themselves on the phone but until you meet you’re setting yourself up for a big disappointment. Why, is this situation you?

PS You can meet your soulmate/lifemate anywhere; heck, he could be at McDonalds now!
no... its not me...ive just been curious...i hear of people falling in deep love with someone that they chat with and i dont understand it...like u said, u could be chatting with a hairy 500 lb man!!! plus how do u know if there is a good relationship there without sex...sex is an important factor in a relationship too if u are truly soulmates...

Can you fall in love without meeting? In a word, "NO!" :-) You cannot be sure that someone you have met online is even who they say they are much less if they are your soulmate until you meet them and spend considerable time with them. The relationship you build online is a fantasy based on your communications. The other person cand tell you whatever they want via email or phone and you have no idea whether or not what they are telling you is true. Of course you want to trust them, but until you meet in person, all they are is a "voice" over the Internet.
You are very right in that you are selling yourself short. It is a good idea to not get TOO involved with someone online without meeting. Distance makes it difficult to meet so it is usually a good idea to stick to online people in your area. If this is you or if a guy you have met online is claiming to be in love with you - be cautious! Meet if you can ASAP. If you can't meet, then all you have is a pen pal and you should not get your feelings involved.
nah...its not me...i have just heard all that and i have had my opinion about it...i was just trying to be open minded about it just a little and hear what other people have to say about it...i feel sorry for the people who do and i was hoping to hear the other side of the coin...

>>Can u really fall in love with someone over the internet without having any one on one dating<<
No. You fall in love with the idea of someone that you've built in your head, from extremely limited contact.
The majority of human communication is non-verbal. Tone of voice, smells, smiles, just plain old body language... email, IM, and even phone conversations get almost none of that kind of communcation going.

You can't. That's a lie, promulgated by the OLD sites.

Absolutely.
