Moontiger Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Look up the term "Catfish" then ask yourself these question. Now, many relationship do start online these days but you have to be very careful. Link to comment
SapphireNoir10 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think it's wrong. You can't help how you feel. A lot of relationships start online. Either messaging on online dating or long distance online relationships. Just make sure you don't get catfished! And also if you meet someone off the internet make sure you do it in a safe public place. Link to comment
LookandLeap Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It is not wrong, but it is not smart. Link to comment
sara-pezzini Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 i don't believe you can have real feelings for someone you never met, it is a way to get interested in someone, get to know them a bit but real feelings or love? no, that cannot happen if you don't see the other person, smell their scent, see how they act, move and whatever, to see if there is real chemistry you need to be around the person... on paper all can sound amazing but in real life it can be so different Link to comment

wolflovesmoon Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Emotional attachment if based on trust and honesty is not wrong, but nowadays you can`t tell if the other person ( behind the screen, phone) is what you think of them, what they portray to you, till you see them in person, which then the emotional attachment becomes physical too, you are always at risk to get hurt Link to comment
Moontiger Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 24. how come Just curious. I wanted to make sure you were not a teenager possible being scammed by some weird dude online. Have you ever Skyped with this person? Link to comment
Kristenelaine Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think it is normal to be interested to someone you havent met while talking to them online, but once you meet in person that can all change! You may click now but when you meet you may not. It's different for everyone. I would suggest slowing yourself down and taking a look at the bigger picture. Meet up first Link to comment
Lambert Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 the feelings might be real but they are for the person you THINK they are. When u finally meet it might be TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Link to comment
ParisPaulette Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think it's wrong per se since it is human nature to feel a growing affinity for those we communicate with and share ideas, thoughts and feelings with. But I do think you need to be fully aware that the person on the other end of the line be it Internet, email, snail mail or any other form of long distance is still essentially a stranger until the day you meet and more importantly, until you are actually living with and/or around them on a day-to-day basis and see how they interact with you and the world around both of you regularly. This is something too many of us forget in the rush of emotions, but it is the most important thing to keep in mind. Up to that point much of what you are experiencing is a combination of what the other person says to you, your emotions and your fantasy/imagination of what they are like and what it will be like being with them. I've carried on a year-long long distance love affair that ended within three weeks of getting together, because the reality frankly just did not match the fantasy and that's not to blame him necessarily. I also had qualities and things that he wasn't aware of until we got together and so we each went our separate ways, a lot sadder and wiser for the experience. Just realize what's in your head may be very, very far from the truth and proceed with your eyes wide open knowing that until you meet them in person, preferably under safe circumstances much of what you're experiencing is still in your head, not the real world.

lamo Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 i was just curious thats all. i went in a situation with my hopes up and expected things to really work out. i think i got too emotiannly attached and carried away too quickly instead of playing it cool and slow Link to comment
CobbsWoman Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It's never wrong to care about someone else. If you wanna see where it can go you will have to meet irl at some point but no you're not wrong to build an attraction to their personality. Link to comment
