WELCOME ME. I LOVE IT HERE... I'M NEW!!!:toast: ANYWAY I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THIS GUY I'VE MET VIA INTERNET WEBSITE. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS STRONG NOW N WE TALK EVERY NITE.sometimes for hours on the phone. he has already told me he is in love with me, and i have told him the same although it took me a minute to say so.

is it possible to have this happen, without physically meeting someone face to face?
:love:

Slow your roll my sistah. Remember to take things slow. He could be for real or he could be internet pimping! There are no set rules to love. Be safe!

YAH TRUE. BUT i really think he does love me, i've check his convo out, we've had our ups and downs and we settle our issues. but really he is not different from meeting someone at a bar or store etc. his conversation is genuine but well, i'll know this weekend .

to much about u
see u are set up like an prey for the predators
i would just chat and that's it
fine a true love within ya home ground their is one

Be careful and best of luck to you.

WELCOMEEEEEE RUBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I met the love of my life via Internet so Internet-love is entirely possible however I met him almost 4 years ago and before he was/is my love--he was/is my friend.
It's not about what a person says-it's about what they do. Is it possible he could love you so soon? Sure. Is it probable-Not likely. My advice is take it slow and enjoy the "newness" of this man. The getting to know his like and dislikes, his hopes and dreams and don't worry about "what this is" at this point.

Ummm Keme,

I'm saying--mind yours--hehehehehehehe...this ain't about me.

I believe "internet love" is easier to come to because you get to know someone though their mind before you have to deal with their face. That enables you to value the most important aspect of a person first, then you could put the physical in proper perspective.

If this sister is mature, and savvy, with respect to relationships, she should know if she is being played. But if she is not as experienced, the internet experience is just as dangerous as the person to person connection.

Your mind is the port-hole to your heart, close your mind and your heart will starve, open your mind too wide and you will flood your heart, therefore search your heart with your mind to find what your heart, body, and soul deserves.

God Bless

JT_A, I respect your opinion and think you've expressed some deep thinking!

Thank you and much respect!! :toast:

Soooooooooo much skepticism....

Hey Wood, what you call skepticism smells more like bs to me! :)

I believe internet romance can happen, many of us socialize and talk on these boards and we get to know each other through our opinions, views on different subjects and how we relate to each other. But the two people involved must eventually meet in order to see if it is real or just infatuation.

truely it can happen i've seen it done and saw them get
married as well now for 5 years so it happen
sure many lie , cheat to get a point cross to enter the life
of one for their own excitment but then when weaved out
the real deal is cast ................

if your willin ti take that chance of gettin hacked up ..byt some truck driver that cut n pasted a nicce body that you fell in "love " with........gon right ahead...........

it's true there are many nuts out their
but you also can fine that very someone to love as well
there are ways to weave out the bad , cheating , lier
and then chat awhile show photos then move to phone convo
it's now what u do but how u do it ........
yes be very careful and keep a open mind
crazy freaks and nuts are on the net and seek the weak prey
and you have true people who seek their soulmate
i've seen it happen and work out well ....it's how u feel and what
u think as a person and your emotions

I agree with Rich. An aspect of internet dating that turns many off is the fear of the unknown. However meeting a physco killer is a sensationalized fear. You are more likely to find a crazy person in the club than chatting on the internet. It takes time and much communication to build an internet relationship from chatting, to emails, to phone conversations, to eventual meetings. But it is possible. To truly make a relationship work; however, it eventually has to move face to face.

Hello my friend, a long distance relationship is very hard. I would say love is another subject I will talk about later. But online people well please do not get your hopes up to high. People online are not very honest people sometime. Just think of the worst person you know offline and many are like that but you may never know until you have committed yourself to a questionable relationship.

Question have you ever meet anyone offline before?
If you do make sure it is in a public place no exceptions ok.

3 months is not that long really, I cannot say but I don’t believe he is in love with you after no physical contact and I do not mean sexual. This is a major problem with today relationships. People fall in love to quick without even knowing them. I have had two long distance online relationships. I know from first hand knowledge get to know everything you can about the person. I am going through one right now, We meet then lost contact then one year later we meet again in person and its been something. Three countries late, thousands of miles and over two years. We are in love and in a few months we will finely be together but it’s been hard. Mine is unique we are in two different countries so we have it double hard.

No matter how long you spoke on the phone been there done that, love true love take time may I ask you is he in the states? If so then there should be no problem for you to meet. If he make an excuse why he cant or won’t well life goes on. Internet relationships are not for everyone, its just another tools in the dating game that’s all.

Ummm...man i might regret this but...
i agree wit Kem
people can lie...if they do it in person face to face why wouldnt be easier to tell people online...
i aint sayin that i do...i get asked what i look like A LOT and i dont even do the "personals" scene ...so i say I look HIDEOUS...jus butt-ugly LOL :) LOL...u still wanna holla...then lets see
BUT...if u think u r aiight then...U grown cant nobody tell u what to do. But PLEASE go wit somone and BE CAREFUL!

I say go for it, if you think you are emotionally equipped to handle it. With any kind of relationship rather its via online, or offline. You have to learn the person. Anyone can mislead you rather it be typing it or tellin it to your face. It takes time, physical interaction, and honesty. You have to base the relationship on something, other than how he makes you feel when you log off.

Hello Sweety, I am a new member, and I just had to post a reply to u. I'm kind of going thru the same thing right now. I've been talking to this man off of the net, and he swears up and down that he is in love with me. He says that he knew from the moment he saw my pic that I was the one for him. Now I've never met him, and I was skeptical until I started having feelings for him myself. So ask urself this question, How can u question whether, or not it's possible for him to love u so soon, when u said ur in love with him too? It goes both ways, so I say go for it, and see where it leads to, but just keep ur eyes, and mind open to all types of possibilities, good or bad.

Hello bigbabi and Welcome :wave:

Thanks for sharing your internet experiences. Anything is possible, isn't it? It's true, people should exercise caution and awareness in any type of relationship. But if you never take a risk ever in life, how would you know what could happen?

I hope you enjoy it here and continue to post.

Peace :)

Am I the only one who is wondering where in the world is Ruby Diva? All these posts/replies over all these months, yet no update on the meeting between Ruby and her Internet love interest. August is a bit late to say, "go ahead" or "don't jump in over your head" if they were scheduled to meet the weekend of 2/18.

Well, I hope everything worked out well, even though it sounded to me like a snap judgment waiting to become a disappointment. Three months is just 90 days, roughly. That's not enough time to get to know a person, I don't care what the circumstances, unless you are surrounded by the person and their friends, relatives and associates on a regular basis during that 90 days.
