Has anyone in here experienced falling for someone online, maybe not full blown love per say :p But connected with them over a site that wasnt even meant for seeking love? In my opinion its a tough thing to experience. I had met someone on neo (oddly enough) he was in my guild and he was full of sarcasm and was very funny. He found me ranting on neopets fan page one day and started pursuing me harder and then we fell for each other from there. But long story short and a year later we broke it off, he said distance was an obvious problem and that he just couldnt do it. It hurt, yes. But it was obvious that it couldnt work and that we couldnt be friends anymore bc I would always look at him like that, he wasnt happy with that but I felt like it would take me forever to move on if I didnt break off the friendship.

I just feel like online love life is tough, but so exciting to experince! Its just a world of craziness and you never know what to expect o.0

Anyone else have any online love stories? ^-^

Sorry for the rant also :p

tl;dr I met my boyfriend, Alex, on Twitter. After talking and getting to know each other for a few months, we got together. I moved in with him on February, 2014. We've been together for almost 2 years. ^^

Awe congrats!! That is a happy online love story and a succesful one it seems like!! I wish more stories would end happy like that xD

I got out of one in October and I'm never, ever doing it again. That's all I need to say about it.

Oh no!!! That sounds like a sad one. Sorry to hear that :(

The person and I are still friend, but it took me months to suck it up.

I don't think it's something I could do. I need to be able to meet someone face-to-face to read their body langauge and face. People can just fake so much over the internet that I don't trust anyone on it unless I already know them.

It is very hard to get to know someone fully just from being online. And even if you do get to know them so well, its not like you can be with them when you want. ;-;

So either way I look at it, I can see both pros and cons of not dating online, and dating online XD

i've had a couple online relationships. two which didn't end well and after the second took me to a really bad place i promised myself i'd never do it again. but then i go to know someone through roleplaying on tumblr and we've been together for three months now and yeah, it's hard not being to be with each other physically. but we talk every day, watch movies together, video call, etc. not sure if it'll end up going anywhere in the long term, but we're happy together with how things are now. she makes me happy, i make her happy :')

yep i did fell for someone online. like, in love, really. same as though, im not doing it again. ever.

I met my husband through playing World of Warcraft. Neither of us was looking for a relationship, it just happened. Started out as friends, which developed into both of us wanting to see where it could go. We lived about a two hour drive away from each other, but we decided to meet up.

There's lots of factors that affect how things turn out. It depends not only on the situation, but on what the people involved are willing to do to make it work.

While some people have experiences where they are lied to, it can also be a positive experience for others like myself. It gave us the chance to get to know each other (because we were both honest) without any expectations. Neither of us was looking for more, we just got to know each other and fall in love. Being online made things easier in some ways.

I don't believe in giving up completely on something just because something negative has happened. If you follow that train of thought you'll end up never doing anything, and missing out on opportunities.

awe that's such a cute online love story! These are the times online love is wonderful :) you are lucky yall didn't live too far apart though, that is really difficult :( I love how people fall for each other over sites to where it wasn't even meant for thar nor do tyou know what they look like at first. Its ALL Personality AND soul! <3

I totally see both pros and cons of online dating. I've experienced them both as well xD

I met someone when I used to play on Aion (mmo). We dated like two years, but then I ended the relationship :) I think I've dated one other guy that didn't really work out either xD

i think it's totally possible and valid, you can love someone (platonically or romantically) you met online just as much as someone in person, but it has a lot of complications and extra risks. it's easy to fake who you are on the internet, and it's really hard to know if the person you're talking to is really who they say they are.

however, as long as you're careful and smart and use good judgement, i think it's fine.

some of my very best friends live on the other side of the planet and i would never have met them if it weren't for the internet. they've had a huge positive impact on my life and i love them dearly. here's hoping to someday being able to hug them for real :)

I met my current boyfriend online and he eventually moved over here.

We met on the video part of Omegle. Neither of us were specifically looking for someone to date. But we ended up exchanging Skypes. We Skyped maybe once a week, then several times a week, and then every day for 5+ hours. We eventually just left Skype on all night as we fell asleep. We would watch movies together and have dinner together sometimes. Things like that. He was from Florida and I was from Washington. And yeah, it was hard. It was painful. And there was always that little feeling that we might not work out in person. And we did talk about that. Like perhaps physically we just wouldn't match or interact well together.

He came to visit me about 7 months after we met. He was supposed to visit me for a week but we were so happy and he loved the area so much that he stayed. In about a month he had a job and an apartment in my town. At first my parents were extremely unaccepting but they've warmed up to him a bit.

Now he's been here for about 10 months. We've been dating for over a year and it's wonderful. I couldn't imagine a better match for myself.

I didn't used to believe in online relationships. At all. But I guess I proved myself wrong

January 4, 2000. The holidays had just ended, things were getting back to normal as my house guest from HELL had just left. (she cut cup my sheets wrapping gifts, pulled a towel bar off the wall in the bathroom, insisted on cooking the turkey which she didn't put in the oven until dinner time...I could go on, but you get my drift) Around 11ish that evening I was just about to shut down and go watch the nightly news when I received a random message on ICQ. A guy on the west coast asked if I'd like to chat with another Canadian. I said sure. Four hours later we were still chatting. We just really clicked. He sent me a plane ticket in May and I flew out for 3 weeks. Flew home for 3 weeks during which time I packed up my home, said goodbye to everyone and flew out again. I've never looked back. We've been married for 12 years. Online relationships do work, but you have to be careful, and you do need to take it slowly. When I came out the first time I had a 'Plan B' to go to a friend's place an hour away if things didn't work out here.

I love these happy ending stories! Its really amazing! Love can come from anywhere its crazy!!! <3

Everyone I've been in a relationship with and everyone I've had sex with, I've met online. 1st time, I met a girl on freeopendiary.com (this was well over a decade ago). We lived a couple hours from each other. One day I was at a mall I had never been to before, and thought I saw a girl that looked just like the description she had given me of what she looked like (this was in the days before pics were so easy to create and post online). Turns out it was her. Few months, or maybe a year, later we both happened to be going to the same Marilyn Manson concert. We met up again. It was still awhile longer before I asked her out. It was short lived and we didn't get to see each other during the relationship. 2nd was a girl in Canada that I met on something called 'facewhore'. We dated for months, never met her in person. 3rd I met a guy on darkstarlings from an hour away. Added him on yahoo instant messenger. Didn't talk to him for a year, randomly spoke to him, invited him over for some MTG (didn't think he'd accept the invite--he did). Didn't date him, first kiss/sex. 4th, met a man on xanga from another state. Fell in love INSTANTLY. He came to visit me. Started dating. And now we're married. Been married 5 years, been together 9 years. 5th, met a girl on tumblr. We were friends for a long time. Both happened to be going to the same con. Met. She asked me out shortly after that, got to see each other once, kissed, and not long after that she broke up with me because of distance.

I've also fallen in love a few other times online, but we've never met or dated.

All I have to say is the one nearly destroyed me. Never again.

Though now, I have a tiny group of online friends that I'm always excited to see online and love dearly so I had to take the really good with the really, really awful.
