Shortened details, first met him on Discord when I was 15 and he was 17. I liked him immediately. We became best friends. He never felt comfortable sharing his photo because he liked to keep his Discord and personal life separate. I confessed my feelings after a year. He took time to think about it. Came back and rejected me, explaining the reasons why we wouldn't work out, including factors such as age gap and distance. Looking back now, I'm glad nothing ever happened because I was too mentally unstable at the time in real life and was using Discord and him as an escape. I wasn't ready for a relationship. We continued to be best friends up until 6 months ago when I quit discord because of 2 reasons, redacted and him. He doesn't know the 2nd reason was him and I'm glad he doesn't. We have each other's numbers but rarely used them, and if we did, it was because I contacted him first. When I quit, I was fine with him not contacting me because I wanted to be away from him, and still do, so it's fine. It just hurts when I actually think about it, and realise that my best friend never contacted me again. I could spin it and say I never contacted him either but I'm tired of always reaching out first, so I'm fine as it is. Although part of me wonders if he ever speculated that I was getting away from him so he never contacted me again. Or maybe he just thought it was better to leave me to get on with my life away from Discord. I'll probably never know so I don't like to think about answers to questions I'll never know for sure about.
But yeah basically I was in love with a faceless man I met online for like 2 years now. Sounds pretty sad, but 15 year old me didn't know what she was getting us into and the feelings ended up growing into love for this person. I never knew his irl self so I wasn't entirely in love with him I suppose, but from what I knew of his personality that he showed me online, I was without a doubt, in love with him, and still am, but less so, because I understand and accept that it's not reciprocated.
I had loving for somebody and I had a big crush on a guy and an attraction to one or two other guys but it’s not a relationship where you expect to marry or meet in person so we both needed to move on.
Yes, at least twice. The first was with a girl about a 10 hour drive from here who got really freaked out when a guy half way across the country started spying on our conversations and saying bizarre shit to us so, she immediately left that site and wouldn't even talk to me anymore. Number 2 was a girl in Bulgaria who fell in love with me, first! Nadejda "Hope" Moncheva. She was married, at the time (the ONLY kind of women that are attracted to me!) and her hubby used to beat the shit out of her and treat her worse than some nasty dog owners! She was planning on coming over to be with me but, neither of us could afford the plane ticket and I had no way to meet her at the airport once she got here. She finally left him for good but, I've only talked with her once since them and, she vanished from FB completely. she didn't know much about computers to begin with and her daughter and I had to help her a lot with her English.

yes my significant other my partner my spouse of 4 1/3 years
No, but I got emotionally attached to someone who understood me way better than anyone could in my life and even after years, I have nothing but respect for him and I feel warm in my heart every time I think of that person. He was amazing. We would have definitely fell in love if we had met.
Well, in essence, falling in love online is "fake". The reason I say this is, you only know a small part of the real person online, if that. You only know the part that they reveal to you. Even if they are very open, you don't know if you are getting the full picture or even if they are honest. This was very common 25 years ago when the internet was still very new. People all over thought they'd met their "soul mate", when all they were doing was falling in love with a fantasy.
Not to say that you can't meet in person and have a real relationship blossom from there. It is just that if someone has never met the person, at that point it is still in the realm of fantasy.
I guess. I met my boyfriend on tinder and we spoke in WhatsApp for months before meeting. I didn't fall in love with him till we finally met and had a couple dates though.
I once believed I loved someone I spoke to online but I was very young, stupid and navie and he should have known better at his age. One of my biggest regrets was ever getting involved with such a creep. Before I thought I'd never be that sad to have a internet boyfriend but I was lonely, depressed and looking for validation.
Yeah, she was my sexting partner and we became very close. Then after her I went on a spree where I had multiple one be relationships going at once and I was catching feelings. I learned that long distance online relationships are a dead end, and they either turn out to be married or you get ghosted eventually.
I have never fallen in love with someone online. But I feel like falling in love like that is easy especially when you don't know the person fully. I'm not saying online relationships don't work but it takes time and effort (to meet in person and such).
I have met plenty of women on line... but no I never fell in love with anyone on line. I met my current girlfriend on line, but I fell in love with her on the second in person date. How long will that love last, well we are still going strong after 6 months later.
I had a couple weird relations online. They weren’t great experiences. I felt like I had to always have my phone on me and they were always demanding, jealous and smothering. There were plans to meet up in person but were never finalized. Probably for the best. Anyone can be anyone they want to be online. You can never truly know what kind of person you’re dealing with.
It's just a bunch of empty promises that amount to nothing that drags on for months and years especially with foreigners they don't even live in the USA
Yes, my girlfriend and I. We're working on establishing our careers before I get my own place and she moves in with me. Her mother and brothers depend on her greatly as well and they aren't ready to be on their own, so that's another delay to us moving in but with time, we'll make it happen
Nah never.. I have online friends of course I do from all over the world, but I am perfectly happy with how my life is in the (I want to say real world, but I don't mean any disrespect to others who have fallen in love online)
Yes I have, we were together for years but broke up over a decade later.. I had never believed in online dating before this. I honestly thought it wouldn’t ever work out.
Yes, I have, and we met on G@G. It is working out good, rn. It started out rocky (family, distance etc.), but we have made it into one year, and we are going to make it through another. :)
Yessir i have i have a Canadian girlfriend while i live in india we both love each other very much and are supportive i just confessed one day and she said she liked me back too!
Nope never! I do have online friends though. I once did a zoom call with a very handsome man for a job interview and had feelings so maybe actually. He was married so I turned down the job...
