as with all things it is what you want to make of it, in other words it can be ... may you find what you are looking for online and in real life
 
i mean i dont even do love in real life so much. It doesnt come my way often. And i dont even think i want to spend the rest of my life with her or anything. I just worship the ground she walks on and think she is the woman of my dreams.

Shes unavailable i think by her posts

i'm sorry to hear about your predicament but as in real-life, if an online relationship is to develop and maybe even carry over to real-life, it requires the work and interest of both parties involved

......but didn't that go beyond 'online' and into real?

yes thats partly the thing. Do we want to mix online with real life? And what is real life and what is online and how is it differnt?

What i feel when i read her posts is that i know her so well and i feel a deep crush for her and i know i am slightly in love, and that is real for me

For me, it is only half true until you make it live and in person. It's easy to be selective about what is revealed online. Even if you hang with someone a lot, it's pretty easy to hide a fair amount. You can't see facial expressions, catch vocal inflections; all the details that make a person who they really are. In person, everything about both parties is right there, for better or worse.


yes yes it's all true :)

this is very true - a great next step, beyond online, is by phone so you can hear the person's voice, mannerisms, character, i.e. a voice can really reveal a lot ... and obviously the ultimate step is in person

thank you. I guess i better just get it out and tell her. I am acting like a teenager
 
yes i do think it can be real.Just as in real life.I think that online would have a slight adavantage on the begining that you are basing feelings on the person and not looks.Yes of course you need to see the person eventually.But I do think its quite possible to fall in love online.No,its not for everyone and wont work for eevryone.BUT i think it is VERY real,Flame away anyone who wishes,just my feelings and opinion.Good luck to you!I hope it works out!

very well spoken and you won't catch any flaming from me ... as i have recently made the transition from online to phone contact with someone very special and it has been truly wonderful so far

I may catch crap for saying so, but isn't looks part of the "real person"? I'm not saying that it should be THE determining factor, but I can imagine that appearance could be a huge issue when meeting someone you've interacted with alot, formulated an image in your mind, and it turns out they look nothing like what you expected.

while exterior beauty comes into play, interior beauty is what makes the person....if they have a caring and loving heart, a wonderful personality, etc, than they are quite the catch

the solution to that is exchange pics at some point along the way, quite easy to do online now ... and i am not trying to be a smartass, just trying to add to the convo

What have you talked to her about online ?

I PM'd her to say i like her posts originally and we have been Pm'ing ever since. We talk about everything from religion to her cats to how we spend our days.

I have yet to work up the courage to talk to her on yahoo. I suggested it and she said ok and gave me her chat name.

The problem is i suppose i have a confidence problem and online does not make it any easier. SHe is well liked and everyone flirts with her and thinks she is so amazing including me :)

I even get jealous when i read her flirting with other girls

i know i sound wacky

go for it, if she was willing to give you her chat name she is obviously interested in you ... and the way you portray your discussions, it sounds like you may really have the start of something special
