On line you are in love with an image or thought. That love can't be real until you have met the person face to face and have had real interactions. Many on line relationships sour as time passes especially in long distance relationships. On line relationships will come and go just like real relationships.

Protect you heart and feelings by realizing that an online relationship is one that has not yet been consummated.(not meant sexually) You must first meet that person and do real dating before your feelings can be quantified.

What I know is that about 6 years ago I was on a free site kind of like this one that was based out of Ft Walton, FL. Every other weekend though we had a get together either at the IHOP or at a local resturaunt. It made it easier for everyone to get to know each other without all the normal anxities that people face when meeting someone that they've been talking to online. There were severeal couples which made a great connection and wound up married. Others just made some really good friends. It was a lot of fun and only you can decide when it's too soon to talk on the phone or meet in person. Good Luck to you and God Bless

Dutch kinda said it the best, but on line you can't take anything or anybody for granted,ask a lot of questions if it is someone you have been talking to and think it might be serious ,and then check on the answers,if they feel the same way they won't mind the questions,if they do [ red flag ] I have been stuck at home for 2 months with a lot of free time and have been reading all the forums on here a lot, as I read I also check profiles of women and men, there are a small percent that their answers and comments are nothing like they say they are like in their profile.[ Does that mean fake? ]I don't think any of us has all the answers,we just hope for the best,but trial and error sure gets tireing, Hope ya find what your looking for without too much trouble , God Bless

On line is a good place to get to know a person. You can actually consider it a way of dating. Your first few dates can be gotten out of the way on line. The just getting to know you sort of dates. It's a good way to get to know one another on a basic level. You just need to verify what they are saying and their true personality in person.

Don't fall in love on line as more often than not, it will lead to heartbreak.

I think I would compare it to reading a book and loving it and then going to see the movie afterwards. Your ideas of what the characters look like and act like and so on are often so different...you are disappointed in the movie. Not always...just beware of what you imagination can do. Sometimes you imagine the person to be what YOU want them to be...not who they really are.
I agree with Dutch...you have to meet the person and get to know them in person.
Online should just be an introduction...a take off point making it easier to converse later, I think.
