Recently, a friend of mine got married to this guy who she'd met on the internet. When I heard for the first time, I freaked a little to say the least!
It's all very nice & romantic in films & all that, but if it happens in real life to someone you know, it can be a bit scary!
While of course I wished her all the best & everything, I just want to know what all your views are on this issue.
Does online love really work..moreover does it last?

Hey, do u want to be my friend so contact me at sajjan1982@rediffmail.com

Ultimately, it depends on the couple how well they manage to sustain the relationship

My neighbor's boy married a girl whom he met online years ago... not new to me.. so i would say it is possible.. but it depends on the two..

See lot of succes stories in Shaadi.com, its very sruccesful online matrimonial site.

Depends on what at online for - for love,friendship,marraige etc. One has to know where to cut the borders at. Consider this as Plus of internet age.

take all the precautions that you take in real world as in online world.



never disclose personal information phone number/address/real name etc.



know your limits and have fun. Same way it applies anywhere, best way to enjoy is to keep the discipline and know the limits.



cheers.

I think that this is a very valid debate in today's time.However I just see it as one more way of meeting new people.We can't condemn it nor trust it blindly. This could just be a meeting ground, a sort of introduction. 2 people could really get to know each other if they communicate openly and honestly(which is far better than in the traditional arranged marriage system). But of course, one has to meet face to face eventually before taking a major life decision.Will love last?Unfortuantely ,there are no guarantees in life about love lasting,irrespective of the way in which you meet your partner.

I am a guy who have many online friends and I cannot live with out chatting to them. But the question here Does ONline love work? I will say you surely atleast love desn't work atall......and I have a reason for it.....



Suppose I meet a girl either online or in real..I will try to impress her in every means.. Neatly dressed, pleasant talk, tell all good things abt me. But basically I am human being and i must have some defects in me which I wil hide..

So the girl loving me only knows abt my good side..... So when she will come to know after marriage abt my bad side she sure cannot digest...

Else in relation of marriage, hubby wife are truly bonded.. They came to know abt their bad and good sides simultanously and love each other as a whole both good and bad and it works.... So....



Coming to Onlne love doesn't work at all bcoz I will show only my good side and will never show my bad which causes the traumaaaaa

It doesnt work at all..even if u date or even get married..the online relationship is never considered pure by ur conscience..

Just on-line to Reena shinha

I am Waiting for you

I am Mangal

can you friendship to me

Reena u have raised a very valid question. According to me its all fake. It does not work. Why should it work. Its all magic of words. Remove words and u will find its just past time. I agree with you that online relations neither work nor last for long. Ephraem Jacob

Absolutly !! i totally agree....Its always upon the couple how they want to be and how much they care eachother.

And about finding a partner over internet, I dont think ppl who meetup over net wont directly get married with out knowing anything abt eachother. Meeting online is just a way to meet and start talking, its just a start. Its almost similar that u meet a new person who is ur friend's friend.

And again, When u know the person for a long time..say 2-3 years...u can know the person inside out. You will definatly be in a position to make out wat the other person is...

I dont think its something like wat u guys say " freaky or crazy or unbelivable" to get have a partner over internet chat.

I'm a little skeptical about the idea of online love. Nowadays, there's a lot of crazy stuff going on on the internet. It's not really a safe place to meet people, forget life partners!

There are so many people faking identities etc, how can you really trust someone unless you see them face to face?

Maybe my viewpoint is a little traditional, but I do think that the internet is no proper way to meet people.

Well the thing about meeting online is that the two people don't know anything about eachother.

They say certain things to eachother online & once they meet, they could be really very different people.

So of course it's a gamble. But then isn't every relationship a gamble?

What about people who meet eachother through matrimonials & other such means? These are all people who are unknown to eachother.

So I feel meeting online is just another means of getting people together in this new-age: the rest is all the same.
