I have just joined here and don't know what to ask.So is love via Cyberspace real??

Well i met my fiance on the internet. It was actually on an internet dating site. We were messaging for a couple of weeks before and i knew he was the one i wanted to marry before i met him because he had a great sense of humour and we just became great friends. And then on the day i met him i thought he was the sexiest guy i've ever seen!

Anyway that was two years ago..and we have the strongest relationship of anyone i know. I can't wait to get married.

Its going to be quite strange when i buy my wedding dress..because most girls take their best friends! i'll really miss not being able to take him with me!

So anyway in relation to your question. Love is cyberspace is real..and fab!

Shell,

Take it from me, you may THINK you are in love, but for the most part, you have only seen a cardboard cut-out of this person.

The interaction is all good, because in one way, the content of your conversations on the net would be close to what you would have on a face-to-face date.

However, this is only PART of them. The `in the flesh` version of people has been, is and will always been the REAL person, and the Internet has not taken that away.

Good chance her is that you have fallen in `love` with an image of them, or even more so, you have projected an image about them to yourself.

The only way to really know a person,and see the whole package is to see them, spend time with them (in the flesh), do things with them and more importantly, go through life's experiences with each other - this last point brings out the REAL person - how are they in a crisis.

This takes time, patience and all the usual staff a relationship required.

Don't sell yourself short on this.

Good chance you may have an infatuation of some kind, but only with an image, and it probably an image YOU have made.

It is no substitute for face-to-face.

If the baulk at that - MAJOR PROBLEM, as they are hiding behind something, or just enjoying the fantasy.

Hook up with them and see if they are REAL!

well my cyberspace encounter led to texting and calling, meeting and now dating!!! So yeah the excitement and the getting to know each other bit was weird, its like you only see them on webcam and you've only heard their voice. And you think about them all the time, you've got an idea of what theyre like in your head. But when you meet its basically an indication of whether they were a big fat liar or not. And well if my story hadnt ended up so good i wouldnt have been dating him for over 14 months.

I'm in love in "cyberspace" and it feels pretty real to me. It's just another way of meeting people that we have at our disposal now. Of course, in real life it may not work out - but that's life, there are no guarantees.

But I think you can feel the essence of someone if you give it long enough - and meeting in person is just the next step.

People all through history have fallen in love via the written word. Words that come from the heart can steal a heart more quickly than any physical attributes. Yes, cyber love can be real, just as love was just as real when people corresponded with pen and paper.

like hell it is, if people can love each other outerspace then it doesn`t matter what space you`re in. Meeting someone in person might increase or decrease your love but that won`t change the fact that you once fell in love with them, so yes, it does exist.
