love on the internet is it possible?

Listen. The people on here who have an intimate relationship that started as a relationship over the internet have met each other, yes?!?! *facepalm* They've built something by being in each other's lives.

BlueMaxx wrote:^ Ahaha! Wade getting tagged in. Sorry, don't have a textbook in front of me, but short definitions on a website or Wiki isn't usually the way to go. Platonic love's origins have, but are not condemned, a non-sexual partnership. They can evolve into sensuality and sexuality. Friends fuck. Feeling compassion and love doesn't necessarily mean you've constructed a romance. It can feel like it. Trust, loyalty...all that jazz. It can be hard enough when being around the person face-to-face. To say a long distanced relationshiop, especially one where they haven't met can become intimate in the sense I've been giving is pretty far-fetched. I'm not trying to be a jerk. But come on.

I am kind of currently involved with someone I hope is really what she says she is, but I am also careful and guarded as well. I spend alot of time with her on Second Life as well as WoW. Do I ever plan on meeting her, who knows? I just take it one day at a time and remain guarded and let her make the movements that bring us closer. She knows of my past and I would hope lighting does not strike twice, but you never know.

All in all, it is the internet, take things slow and don't fall in love, but grow into it.

I see my error in trying to state definitions and it coming off as me slighting everyone who has found a connection with someone over the net. Really wasn't my intention or what I was trying to imply.

It doesn't help that others are putting words in place of mine or even going against things I've very clearly stated, by saying what they think "I think" intimacy is. (Fuck you, Wade. Seriously. You always do this.)

I'm just gonna shut up, and eveyone can quote this very sentence with some smug remark, or it can get another stupid pic from Wade. Just trying to state something that is very improbable to do without actually having met with another person. Guess I can't fathom just sharing type with someone and that being good enough.

I was honestly having a conversation, not arguing with anyone. Anyone.

and i realize you weren't arguing....you have a different opinion. which is fine. i have no smug remarks for you....or any cool photobucket pics... respect your opinion, i'm just saying...."don't knock it til ya tried it!"

Guess I'm lame to think that you can't achieve that without meeting that person. I'm not trying to sound condescending. Guess I just don't get it.
