Admin	Love on the internet? Posted : 9 Dec, 2011 09:25 AM Do you believe love can find anywhere include on the internet? Do you think can someone go through a real relationship with someone he/she met on the social network like this? eventhough they are distance apart? eventhough they're in different continent and separated by ocean? Anything is possible thru God, but in this case i admit this is will not easy. Anyone ever have the experience like this? Post Reply
redeemedrachel View Profile History	Love on the internet? Posted : 14 Dec, 2011 12:33 AM I haven't had the experience, but it's something I've been thinking about, too. I really want to find true love, but it feels really strange discussing life together with a stranger online. I need to be close friends with someone before falling in love, but it's difficult to try to get a friendship going with someone through a few messages. I find it almost impossible to consider someone a good friend unless we see each other fairly regularly (at least once a week) and do things together (movies, games, meals, etc.). So the long-distance thing wouldn't work for me at all. Post Reply

Posted : 29 Dec, 2011 11:05 PM its hard.. because for me.. i run out of things to talk about with them.. and i cant be there to comfort them, or hang out.. my first relationship went alright..but was not fun.. i made a friend.. but they kept falling in love with other people and leaving.. then they would come back..because they got used.. i would always except her back..because i cant say no..i feel bad nd i dont like to loose friends.. but it all ended soon after.. and searching for someone in your area.. ya there is maybe a few but who knows if they want to be friends.. i try hard to be there for everyone..nd help them when they are having a hard time but its hard when u cant be right there.. i guess i just trust that god will help me and i know he will bring the right person around maybe thro internet.. or not.. thats why i have a profile here.. i can make new friends.. and the cool thing is.. if u get to know them good.. u may possibly visit them.. and go to diff states ..to see them.. but u have to have a lot of trust to allow someone u have never seen come visit u, just trust God ..because he has the best in mind.. so yes internet dating is hard.. but its a way to get to know people everywhere.. but many prayers to folks like me who are still lookin for there special someone..:) Post Reply
PaulC View Profile History	Love on the internet? Posted : 2 Jan, 2012 07:32 PM To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical. But I figure it is at least a good opportunity to meet new people, have good conversation, and make some friends. If a relationship happens to develop out of it, that's a surprise bonus, I guess. I've met a couple of good friends from being on a dating website. I wouldn't say I've gotten any real dates out of it though. And as the common thought on this discussion has been, it is hard. I did meet somebody on this website about a year ago who lives in another state. We had great conversations, talked on the phone and on Skype all the time, and started to develop some feelings for each other. But where does it really go from there? You can't even go on a first date when you live a state away (or further) from each other. I know people have somehow "dated" without ever meeting face-to-face for years and then eventually got together and got married. I guess I have a hard time conceptualizing how that works. The only opportunity for me and that one individual to be together would be if I ended up going to the one Episcopal seminary that happens to be in her town. That'd be kind of one of those God moment things. That's another thing that makes me ambivalent about dating girls in my area also. I have no idea where in this country I could be living this time next year. If I'm able to start school in the fall, it won't be in Michigan because there's no Episcopal seminary here. So whether face-to-face or online, dating always has its challenges. But that's part of the experience. Post Reply
