do you think there is a true love in cyber relationship?
what is the most important thing you want to know about the people who you meet online?
what is the worst thing that you dont want people to ask?

let me begin, i chat online with familiar people because it is very convenient, faster,updated... i dont have to give them a call or write them a letter. and seems we are getting closer...
in fact i seldom talk to a stranger...when i'm still single( i have a very good girlfriend now) i will talk to a stranger who i think she is very qute or interesting...so maybe i want love...

Are you two the same guy? Anyway, I think online chatting is good for people who are shy and need to practice a little in order to beat the fear when going to a social situation in real life. Plus, it gives them ideas on what to talk about. I don't see anything wrong with talking to strangers as long as you don't trust them too much, and of course, there has to be a common interest. Also, I don't think your whole life should be centered around online chatting... You know, it's good to spend some time in real life. That's my opinion. Best wishes.

why do you chat with people online?
Do you mean AIM, Messenger and such? I give advice on forums, but don't chat online.
what is your purpose of online chatting?
Not my cup of tea. Don't do it, but do like giving out advice on forums.
for fun? looking a relationship? just want to chat? because you are lonely? and so on...
Some people like to chat online, but I can't. I don't like to spend tedious hours messaging back and forth. I'd rather hang out with people I know in person. If people like to do it, then that's cool. I give advice online because helping others helps me.
do you often chat with strangers? do you trust them?
Often give advice to strangers, it's kinda similar giving advice through a hotline help number.
Trust: sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on their intent, and my gut instinct.
do you think there is a true love in cyber relationship?
For some people, they do find success. Cyber dating can be helpful for those who are extra shy in person, or those who find it efficient/convenient. I think that it's healthy/important to have a relationship that's face to face, in person.
what is the most important thing you want to know about the people who you meet online?
What their history is like. Are they honest? Do they have records of child molestation, rape, incest, adultry, etc.? Are they married, and just lying about their status as a way to seek thrill, and find other romances on the side? Sometimes I question people's intent online. The internet opens more avenues to a wide range of individuals. Unfortunately, some of who can be potentially dangerous. It's even harder to spot them out on-line. It's just as bad as meeting them in person, but it's easier for them to 'sugar-coat' their words/intentions, online.
what is the worst thing that you dont want people to ask?
Most worst- cyber sex. Sorry. Not for me. That's scary to me. But for those who are comfortable with it, that's okay as long as both partners find no problems with it. I just don't dig that stuff. Not especially because the other person is a stranger.

These are just my opinion. I don't mean to offend anyone, but good questions.-Mahlina

------For the most time when I have nothing to do, and feel bad.

------it's simple! spending my drab time only.

for fun? looking a relationship? just want to chat? because you are lonely? and so on...

I am not lonely but I just like surfing I don't know why.

wow...thank you for sharing your opinion! well done...

Amoretto · 08-03-2004, 02:40 AM

the very interesting thing is many female believe there is a true love in cyber relationship...but the point is do you have experience about this to prove it or just believe it because it seems romantic?
in fact i dont very believe it, but i do got my girlfriend's contact phone number on the internet, but i have never chat with her online! i prefer to give her a call! i just dont like chat with her online because that makes me feel like we are not really in love! but i will chat with my friends onlinem...
