Can you
fall in love with someone you have never met? Have you ever hear about someone
who has fallen in love with someone online? It is curious how social networks
have come to replace real life interactions. Many people agree with the fact
that immediacy is not only one feature that makes technology an important means
to strike up a relationship, but also an element that can create a parallel
world.
Would you say that it is trusty falling in love with someone that you
have met only by the Internet? Internet provides us with a series of ways to
lie about ourselves. It is a marvelous place for perverted people, where they
can become anybody, and the sad part of this is that we cannot prove the
information we received. Apart from that, there are people who actually find
their soul-mates on the web. Those are people, who have had the “ability” to
fall in love with someone without looking right into the eyes; without holding
hands with the beloved; without cuddling, etc. These people have learnt how to
fall in love despite the barriers that distance establishes. Maybe they have
focus on other important aspects of a relationship such us talking for long
period of time, becoming aware of the partner’s likes and dislikes, or just
simple as having the time to connect to the Internet and spend some time with
that special person. Do you think that this is possible? Would this happen to you?
I suggest watching this romcom about two people falling in love by emails. It is a bit old, but funny anywas.
Here is the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCetfaS7GAo

ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I'm a little afraid of it. Every time I know that someone falls in love online, then they meet each other, and finally they get married... The worst part is the fact that, maybe, you are having a relationship with someone completely insane (as there have been some cases). I think that it is not sure at all unless they start dating for a long period of time and get to know each other deeply. That is one of the dangers of the web... and if I had a children, I wouldn't like them to have a relationship with someone they s/he doesn't know face to face.
ReplyDeleteAlways is a risk to fall in love, and as Natalyn said there is a chance of having a relationship with someone insane. But, the truth is that even if you met someone in real life, that person can be faked everything and he or she could be a psycho or something.
ReplyDeleteI've never fall in love with someone through the Internet, neverthless I have some friends that have a virtual girlfriend, honestly is weird, because as Constanza said it is important to have real contact...well..there's no accounting for taste.
i don't know if you can fall in love by internet, maybe you can like the person because you have similar tastes or you like the way the other person thinks, but how can you know if you have chemistry? this goes beyond these mentioned reasons. actually i met my current boyfriend online and we chat for over five years before we decided to meet personally, but we were just friends until we met and realized that we had chemistry, so i think that real contact is a highly important issue in relationships, on the other hand maybe some people don't need this to feel in love and they're happy enough knowing that is someone behind the screen.
ReplyDeleteInternet is not the best place for love. As there are people who fall in love with someone by internet, there are also people who like to have a public relationship posting everyday on their facebooks account or clicking on the bottom "like" on their photographs and comments. That's love for them.
ReplyDeleteFacebook have become an important place for people to have relationships, and also, it's a dangerous place for it too. Couples fight for things that are on Facebook everyday, and even they can broke up for it. This website makes jealousy to flower and begin something that can ruin your hapiness forever.
So, try to think about clearly and without jealous before you want to get mad about something you saw on Facebook.
