Can An Internet Connection Become Real Love?

Of course it's possible. However, the attraction may disappear when you do meet face to face.

Doglover, you're talking about me, aren't you? I knew I shouldn't have met you in the A2K broom closet this weekend. :wink:

haha!

I sent a picture?

Right, dys, but I'm not of the opposite sex!

Boy I hope so. So many hearts skip a beat whenever they run across Gus. I know, you think he's just a decrepit old man. But you should have seen him hammer away on the harmonica in his younger days! Women, near and far, stood no chance to meet him until the Internet was invented.

Doglover,

Your idea is very plausible. I don't think that it plays out in reality any more often than does a hollywood ending, however, it happens everyday and there are a lot of smiling couples out there because it does...once in awhile even the hollywood endings play out

kicky baby, you swept me off my feet!

No you didn't dys. I'm in love with your mind and your abundant knowledge of music. :wink:

Thanks for the laughs guys, but I'm really struggling with this situation. Is it possible to have more than one 'soul mate'?

I don't believe in "soul mates" as an exclusive thing.

There are millions of absolutely amazing people on earth that one could have an amazing relationship with (they'd all just be a little different). So I don't think that a "soul mate" is likely.

I do believe that people regularly find a "sole mate" and then they marry. That's what monogamy is all about.

As far as people who share our core beliefs and values, who resonate with us, there are likely many. People clicking is a wonderful thing and needn't be exclusive.

Lots of people choose monogamy and then end up getting to know one person better than anyone else, which generally brings them closer, but I think that's a result of familiarity rather than an alignment of "souls" or there only being one person out there for you.

My two cents...

I have two sole mates, one for each foot.

gotta love dr. scholls!

Oh no way . . . i've never hear of anything so ridiculous . . .

How can you say that, Setanta? I've chatted one on one with many people. Some are jerks, some are nice. I've never become close with any of them except this one gentlemen. My heart races even when we are chatting via IM's. Our personalities click. We are not exactly alike, though. He's a conservative republican and, well, you know what I am. LOL! He says he feels the same about me. I'm just feeling very confused right now. We both wish we had met years ago.

Setanta's pulling yer leg, d'lover - his young lady is an A2Ker; they met on a different Internet forum that existed before we did.

PS Yes, it can happen, sure it can. Do keep in mind, though, that feelings can be intensified and everything online seems to hurtle along a lot faster than life offline. And, as was said above, things may change if you meet. That's the acid test, meeting someone.

jespah's wise.

Well, I crack wise.

Thank you. :-D
