My girlfriend(ex girlfriend now! ) was caught on two different sites similar to myspace with a profile and many men on her friends list. She was also chatting with some guy on her email that lives on the other side of the country. When I confronted her about it she was so ashamed that she would not face me for a month. I had no idea that she was not happy in our relationship and she acted as if she was, we spent a lot of time together, she told me she loved me,she bought me and my daughter things and so on. If she was looking for another relationship why were all of those men so far away?

Sometimes you just want an emotional connection with someone but not have to deal with physical stuff. Internet relationships make it easier to be yourself or make up a new identity and when you're done you can just turn off your computer.

Because you can easily find a guy/girl on the internet who you has the same interests but finding one who lives close too you is harder when you go on the internet 90% of the people are there for the same reason so its easier then meeting people in person. Also for girl I think its a safe feeling know you can get close to someone but still not be in any physical danger. One more thing is you can get to know the person on the inside first before judging their looks.

These kinds of things can be so destructive emotionally! I have been in online long-distance relationships where this happened, and its a horrible feeling.

I was the guy who did this same thing to his girlfriend. Why did I do it? One reason I can give probably has something to do with wanting to still be desirable at my age....to know that there are other people out there who find me attractive and would begin a relationship with me. I also knew that the distance issue would prevent any real contact, so I couldn't physically cheat on my girlfriend....but emotionally I did.

lovebird01 I'm glad you're honest here about why you did this. It causes a lot of pain for a person going through it! - 3 months ago
Question Asker I can relate to what you said. She has a weight problem and all of the pictures that she posted were head shots. I never had a problem with her weight I was in love with who she was, not what she looked like but she has made comments about dating guys online in the past and when she finally met them in person most never turned into a second date. - 3 months ago

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I would probably go to the movies on a first date and if I really like the guy and things go good it would end with a good night kiss probably just a tap though.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
Everything they need to know .

Would you date me?
