As opposed to real life friendships and romances?

I think there used to be more of a stigma attached to meeting people online. Now, it's much more widely accepted.

I never thought that I would ever be attacted by someone online...now I don't know what to say really...that teaches me not to talk ever again.. A couple of years back I had a girlfriend of mine acutally marry a guy that she had met over the internet moved to Virginia and all, got me kind of worried but she had family up there so if it didn't work out she was going to stay with her Aunt...Haven't heard from her in a while but last I knew they had two kids and was building a three story house. I always thought she was nuts, now I feel a bit ashamed of thinking that way. I guess love comes in more ways then one, and she was one of the lucky ones...then again you never know how psycho the person your talking to really is right...Better to be safe then sorry.

There are those who see it as a second-class methodology. I think the stigma is diminishing, though. When one has access to a tool, why not try it when it may be useful?

Do you think there is stigma attached to building friendships and romances online? it would depend on the extent of it and how you let it effect your life at hand to explain my post if you know there is very little chance that you are going to ever get the chance to meet and yet you hold that other person in a romance to the point they are not meeting anyone in real life that in my opinion s excessive but if you have every intention on meeting and have a timeline to do so there should be no stigma there i have come close to keeping someone from meeting another but now they are very happily involved which if we would have had that type of relationship that person would not be experiencing that happiness |

Using facebook a few times to meet women that I "kind of" knew who they were back in the day but never really talked to them, I can say firsthand that there is an advantage talking to the person at length for a while on the internet and phone before actually meeting them.
I've talked to a lot of women on facebook and myspace and such where it was obvious despite physical attraction we didn't click at all and were two completely different people, and that saved the awkwardness that comes with finding this out on a first date in person usually. The girls I talked to and clicked with, by the time I met them in person, they were just as nice and attractive, if not better, in person. |

I have met some wonderful people online.This site and another one too.
Altho one of my friends lives far away she has become one of my best friends in the world.We have helped each other get through some painful things in our lives.I know that she will always be there for me and I in return will always be there for her. I also have heard of stories of couples meeting online and getting married.So I guess its possible.

Do you think there is stigma attached to building friendships and romances online? I think that when you first mention to friends and/or family that you have met someone on line.. they kind of go... "you better watch out, there are lots of weirdos on line". To which I always reply... "well, I guess I am a Weirdo now too" because I have gone on line also. Then I also explain that there are weirdos everywhere... in the store, at church, in the bars, heck even across the street. One just needs to use good judgement in any situation, whether on line or out and about in their daily lives. It can work out if the right two people with the same values are fortunate enough to run across each other. As to the time frame of when to meet... those are details that will be worked out between the two if the interest is high enough. I would have to say that getting to know someone beforehand has been a good experience thus far. |
