Internet luvvin

[KingBeast 0]

No im not talking about porn or cybersex ladies and gentlemen, im talking about "internet luvvvin"

Have any of you here chatted with a particular woman online and felt yourself falling for her? Or even chatted online and then met up with her?

Cheesy post but I am curious as to how often it happens.

[Guest]

Nope. I'm too old fashioned for that

[LauryThorn 0]

I know some people (most of them are female) who do that,

but they are very often disappointed when they meet in person.

I don't know anybody who would have developed a serious relationship

based on the internet.

EDIT:

I don't believe in cyber love, neither, and it's not just because I have a

wonderful G/F already..

Who probable was watching while you wrote that

Well I have a very serious relationship that while it did begin on the internet, it certainly isnt based on the internet.

Came across eachother on a messenger one day and started chatting. After a couple of weeks she called me and we ended up talking a lot on the telephone and through mail/post. She rarely got to use the internet because she didnt have it at home, only at school and the library.

So things progressed, and 6 months later I went to meet her. Stayed with her and her family for 2 weeks and had the best time of my life Its now been a total of 8 months that we have known eachother and things are going great, with more visits planned.

And as some of you know, I live in England, she lives in America

Well thats my success story. Prior to that, I once met a girl from the internet that i barely knew, because i had some drunkard friends around and they decided it would be cool to phone her up and arrange a meeting. I had only spoken to this girl for about 3 weeks and when we all met up in a pub it was horrible

Well I would always be afraid that the girl is not as attractive as I may assume, and I so damm superficial.

But a friend of mine gets so many dates with ICQ it is incredible. And those girls look very decent.

Anyhow, most of the times the girls online get so much attention that I think I would just be a sheep in a herd trying to get attention. No, when I look into the mirror I am confident I can tackle girls in real life where they even see me before talking to me!

Today is haircut day!!!

No. My company has decided that she is not allowed to follow me to work.

As much as I'm happy for you KingBeast, I think internet-luvvin is complete and utter BS BS BS BS

[KingBeast 0]

Ah but how do you know? Have you indulged?

I am very, very happy and I would have to disagree with your statement Turkish

Its a new era, and going down the pub to get drunk and expecting to meet the love of your life probably doesnt work so good now

[Guest]

My only internet social experience comes from this forum and talking to real life friends over ICQ. I have never used IRC or chatted at all with unknown people. I pick up girls the old fashioned way: drunk in a bar

I think however that in theory internet luvvin' is a more sound way to do it since you get to know the other person. I think that I would miss the physical visual contact though.

Succesfully? At least in Finland it's an old tradition to always try

to do that, and always be unsuccessfull..

Oh, but you can always ask how their breast/butt/.. looks ..

Oh, I really need my afternoon cup of coffee.

It is very much the most difficult thing I have known to not be with my gf. So I would not reccomend such a relationship to the faint of heart. And it certainly isnt a replacement for the good old ways, just a nice alternative

That's probably one of the most common ways to pick up girls.

It's funny though that the first time when I met my girlfriend was when I came home from work and she was in my bedroom.

I don't know any other people who just go home and meet girls that way.

Not a bad way to meet girls, no!

Mmm, that sounds familiar.

[fraggit 0]

I tried once, I found it very hard to believe they ALL had super model physique, great face, etc. and were conveniently

single. Oh yeah, and they were very popular and had a very busy social life outside the 23 hours they weren't in a chat room.

[Antichrist 0]

Well, you all probably know my story.

[Aaron Kane 0]

I had one "relationship" that was primarily on the internet. Now the girl says she considers me a friend, but its all bullshit, I say!

[ralphwiggum 6]

i really don't beleive in internet relationship. KingBeast could be an exception. (But he ended up with an American, so maybe not)

I'd say that internet luvvvving is not different from other forms.

on the other hand, I finally met my nemesis worth arguing half a globe away on this forum

I think people who need to meet people on the net are sad.   Its just type, no body language.  No flirting, (except for these stupid smily faces)

Theres no real risk of getting any bad vibes.   Hell, the only vibes you get are the ones they choose for you to get.

I must imagine that most of them are fat sad, self conscious people with problems who are too scared to go out.

Now me, seeing a hot girl at the park, at a picnic, or at school is much more exciting.  You gotta make your way over to them, charm them, maybe offer them something at the snack vendor.   And they see you. Its all nice and playful that way.   Just strike up conversation.

Sometimes I like to meet some nice girl when I am travelling.  If not for a relatoinship, just to be friendly with.   Once you are talking ot them frequently and are going out regularely, you can take it from there.

Well, tomorrow, Im heading to Nice for a day trip.  Probably gonna be some nice girls to flirt with.

[KingBeast 0]

I think its pretty naive really to say that people that meet on the net are sad. After all, what could possibly be sad about people that share interests meeting up and becoming friends (or lovers)Yes there are plenty of sad people that do it, probably far more "sad" people than "normal" people. Though labelling people as such seems very conceited to me.

Im not fat, self conscious or too scared to go out, so I have to disagree with you there. I think one thing at least about talking to people on the internet is you can actually talk to them with your barriers down.

But anyway, like I have already said, i dont maintain the relationship on the internet, it merely started out that way.

Im very happy, very happy and if it werent for the oh so glorious internet, I would be a lot less happy
