Answer by: MissMarie77
I know what its like to fall in love with someone from the internet. Heck - I married one. We married in November and are going through a divorce now. We had a long friendship about 2 years before we stepped up to taking our friendship to the phone level, we stayed there for about 8 months before we met in person. I felt when I met him that everything I thought about him was confirmed and I was instantly in love and so was he. He was in the army and was stationed nearby so we began to see each other more often. After 4 months we decided to get married and we did. It is now that I realize what I got myself into, all the secrets he had, all the lies he made. Its very easy on the internet to be who you want to be or who someone wants you to be. I don't think everyone on the internet is bad - because heck! I was on there and I know I'm good. Long distance relationships are HARD and seldom work out. If you ABSOLUTELY feel you've made this connection with someone, i hope they're close to you so that you can get to know them REALLY well. And I know you're a big girl, but meet them in public places for a while, just to make sure you're safe. Trust me all this is advice from someone who's been there. Even with what happened to me I can't say I won't go to the internet again, who knows, but I do know I will be more cautious and wiser. Best wishes to you.

I agree with Enigma you dont really know someone when you meet them on the internet. I took a big chance when I met my husband he could have lied to me about everything and I just got lucky and he didnt but I took a huge chance going to washington when we met. Just like Enigma says though be careful and dont always believe what people tell you.

Sweet, your heart says another?
Listen, you don't know these guys on the internet, sorry but you don't. All you know is what they tell you.... so it is hard to understand how your "heart" is so involved and wrapped up in people you don't know.
That isn't to say there aren't awesome people online, but there are also A LOT of decietful people out there in the wide world of interent.
So with that said, IF you want to find people to date via the web, then understand you don't know them REALLY know them YET. Just like when you're first getting to know someone that isn't on the internet, it takes time to really know someone.
Two, don't get caught up in "internet connections" with people. While you may have a great repore with someone, again you don't really know them yet.
Last thing, BE CAREFUL. Check, Re-check then CHECK AGAIN the story you get from a potential romantic partner.
