share your experiences here. i havent had one but had plenty of opportunities. i actually found desi gals quite ready to jump into these… but, really how can one even begin to have a real relationship based on just emails, chat or phone. i dont get it. communication is more body language than words anyways.
and whatever happened to the thing called chemistry…? how do u judge physical chemistry through emails.
Re: internet relationships..
I once had a group of friends. We shared the same hobby, figure skating, we were crazy about this one skater. that brought us together. We became close friends, we started discussing personal matters. We closed the group so no new member would join because of the personal stuff being discussed. Only people we trusted were let in.
At that time, I felt that I knew their hearts. Because you can only judge each other based on what they write. And I thought writing is pouring out your heart, so I'm reading their character in a way. We remained close knit for a few years. We really were close despite the fact we never met each other.
But our little group broke up unfortunately. Three ladies had a problem with each other, the rest of the ladies was either forced to take sides, or was automatically ignored by one split up part of the group.
It was nice as long as it lasted though. And it did last for a long time. Yes, internet relationships can be close, we were all like sisters. :)
Re: internet relationships..
With me its more like Picture share then we hit it off and then its all about the first time meeting. If all of that goes well, well everyone hits a jackpot :biggthumb
Internet relationships work but you have to give it some time. Most of the time if you find the right person it is mostly on the basis of shared interests and chemistry then on looks or status. Maybe if you see them in a mall or other place you might ignore them for certain reasons but, because you have a good connection with them you'll always have a good time regarless of it is 1 month or 1 year.
Re: internet relationships..
i don't know never had one , but i have very very close firends and never saw them before :)
Re: internet relationships..
Well, its a way to meet people, but if I"m not gonna meet someone ever, then there's no point in keeping it only online... it's very boring... i use chatting mostly to flirt :D ;)
Re: internet relationships..
its fun for first 2-3 weeks but then gets boring
Re: internet relationships..
^
depends..on you!
Otherwise its not boring. You just have to take some time and then it settles. Whats better than loving your friends whom you love because of their way of writing and thinking of things?
Re: internet relationships..
internet realtionship do work out sometimes and sometimes dont! I really think it depends on the situation and how the two people click. Sometimes it just not meant to be and sometimes u can land ur self on a bucket full of cherry pop-tarts!
Re: internet relationships..
^ CORRECTION^
its only fun until u recieve ur first gift but then after that it gets boring .. atleast to me !
Re: internet relationships..
Well you have to be carefull with loving your online friends, in our group of friends we were close like sisters. That’s the way it felt.
But when some ladies in our group started to fight and the group split, a different side of their characters came out. In the end many things happened and it was rather disappointing. It was a beautiful time together. You can enjoy online friendships, but don’t start loving those friendships.
Re: internet relationships..
^ That goes for all friendships in general. You can't keep too much umeed that any type of relationship will last forever, even in real life. But your idea of enjoying it while it lasts - that's good.
Re: internet relationships..
well I beleive people who look for relationship on net specially girls are from a special category and there is something in them that is different from main stream.
some may not talk to a guy in this way in real life, some may be looking for good person to talk to, etc.
its just a way of communication, you may more about person from writing, someone said its always from heart. but it doesnt mean thats what they really are, heart can say things that one want to be like that but he/she is not near to it in reality.
I have met some wonderful people from net, very good friends and nice people.
about relationships - that becomes important or exist when you actually meet a person, if then you have chemistry - then it may work out and it has worked out for some people I know.
Re: internet relationships..
I got some very good friends from the net. But it doesnt always work out well if you only have contact on the net.
In fact, I met my future hubby through internet. but without real contact like phone and meeting, it wouldnt have been possible to reach any sensible decision:)
Re: internet relationships..
I've been on the net on and of for hmmm 7 years now (wow!) In the beginning, I did make tons of net friends guys and girls and would chat for HOURS...be on the boards etc...
It was fun and filled a need at the time. I did find that no matter how much you "clicked" on their writing/chatting...phone and then in person can be very very different...
so though I'm all for allowing girls and guys (esp. desi/muslim who don't often have many options close by) another route to meet...you have to be aware that that not everything is going to be fantastic.
Re: internet relationships..
same here i started using 6 or 7 years back.... i do make friends but i keep changing m ids n online contacts.

Re: internet relationships..

Re: internet relationships..
He never sed they were losers, just that those girls are somethin different, somethin sets them apart from the mainstream… i wanna know exactly what he meant by that, it cud be a negative difference or a positive difference..
Re: internet relationships..
When I was younger I lived in a predominantly Gora area and there wasn’t many ‘apne’ people at my school except a handful of Gujjis and Bengalis who I didn’t speak to often and didn’t consider them ‘apne’ so I was pretty desperate for some fellow Pakis to talk to, I was really shy when younger but every time I saw a Pakistani who could speak Urdu or just about barely understand it I couldn’t shut my mouth… I was gagging for Pakis to be friends with so I’d search chat rooms and made like 50 odd contacts just on the Internet, knew them all by name and we were really close but then I moved near our relatives with abundance of Pakis and now I’m just content with the ‘apne’ I meet in real life.
