In that case, If you finally get to see the person on a webcam, and you discover It's a fat, ugly, hairy person then you probably would have been sick right? xD
I know I would <.<
I know It's the soul of a person that matters the most, but you get my point, eh?

Yeah, but some people can look past that. Some people don't really care what the other person might look like because the beauty that lies inside shines too brightly~

You love the soul that lies inside the person.

You're making it seem that love is shallow~ Sure, some people need phyical attraction to the other person, but others wouldn't mind what the other looks like.
 
When you talk to someone over the net, you are communicating with them - just in a different manner.

Sure, you may not be able to communicate every thing to them, like you facial expressions or tine of voice, but once again, you are talking to them.

The fact that's it's a person on the other computer is sufficent enough to start a genuine relationship.

Of course, you'll probably have to work at it, but yeah.

Again, it's personal preference.

Also, think about this - have you ever been insulted by someone online? Well, if you think that love can't exist on the net, then how can hate and disgust?

sorry didn't mean It that way ;_;
am not that good In explaining things ._.
I just mean that love is an incredibly strong feeling, and It sounds impossible to love someone over the net o.O
I have a person that I care DEEPLY much about, but I'm not sure that I love her o.O
Love is such a strong word to me, I guess It's just that.
 
Hmm... I think of online friends like any other friends!

The only difference between IRL friends and net friends is that it's easier to pretend to be someone you're not over the computer. You have more time to think of proper responses and even fake a reaction, and that's the only thing I'd worry about. That and you can't interact with them face to face, which can always be helped by phones and webcams and that sort of thing ^.^

Of course, it's not wise to go saying " I live on so-and-so street in Savannah, Georgia" the first day you meet someone ^^U

There are plenty of people I know online that I consider my best friends, and they've been people who've there to support me when I felt bad and help me out.

I <3 them!
 
lol i never use webcam i dunno why :P phones are like.. amazing though ^_~ and love is an incredibly strong feeling to have and its also the most amazing feeling to have ^_^

also people who pretend over the internet are stupid, i really don't see the point :P

net friends are great imho the only truely real one i have was the one i fell in love with :P luckily it was a girl xP i have lots of people on forums i consider friends though ^_~ (this topic is cool lol)
 
Like everyone, this can be wrote about for hours. In my opinion, ofcourse you can have internet friends. In fact, I would rather have internet friends because its really hard to find something to argue about. You can't argue about who stole who gf or what ever.
Can you fall in love? Possibly. You can get to know someone very well, and fall in love with what you know. Is it the entire true? Most likely not. But I beleive it is possible.
 
You need internet friends and real friends. Real friends to live reality, and internet friends to turn to when you have trouble living reality. Can you have a internet girlfriend? Yes. Can you always trust anyone? Its probably hard to. In gernal, to be well-rounded, you need both if you want to learn social skills. With Internet friends, though, you can stay friends because even if you move far away, they will still be on PC, MySpace, or what have you.
 
i dont really have many internet freinds. i mainly talk to people that i see at school or people that i no.
 
Well, that's fine too, but its good to have both.
 
I barely have any friends in real life, so naturally my life is the internet. Personally, I find it easier to talk with online friends at times. For some reason, it's just harder to make friends in real life. Or maybe it's just me.
 
I have alot of friends in real life. But I don't consider internet friends as real friends. I might ask them for a favor (mostly on myspace), but loving a person online I think that its stupid because you never met face to face with that person

Yea thats what I'm saying because if you fall in love with that person and you say that you want to meet with that person, then when you meet that person. There is a good chance of you getting raped. Thats what happens alot of the times

I do not know if this has been said yet or not because even though I have read the thread I am half dead. Anyway, I think that in some cases, meeting people online and getting to know them that way is better then meeting them in real life. This is because you cannot make a whole bunch of assumptions about them based on looks and such. It allows you to know parts of that person that they normally do not show to the world. For instance, I am far more open online then I am IRL. In fact I am known better by my online friends then my RL ones. And then when you actually meet this person and he or she turns out to be not as you expected, you are generally able to over look that because they are still essentially that same person that you befriended.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, you could end up speaking with someone who is lying about who they are and in the end they could hurt you pretty bad if you aren't careful. This is why it is good to be careful about who you open yourself up to. -shrugs- I agree with alot of you though that some of the most important people in my life right now are online. It's all about taking risks and whether you are willing to deal with the after math of it.

As for the falling in love thing, one first must know what falling in love is. A crush is not falling in love despite the thousands of feelings that a person gets from them. People are often mistaken by these feelings and claim to be in love. However, it is possible becuase a very close friend of mine met a man online whom she had never seen or met and they spoke to each other over the course of several years until one day they met. They have been married for five years now and are a better couple then most.

Actually, it doesn't happen "a lot of the time". We only hear about people meeting each other when they've been raped or something. You don't hear about all the good times people have had with meeting online people, do you? Also, if you're scared about meeting some you've met online, why not take someone along with you? I've kind of arranged to meet someone in England when I got over next summer. Our parents know about us so we've done it so that our parents will go along with us the first time, and if everything is okay we'll be left to get on with it ourselves...
