    I've done that before trust me like I've met someone who was from the internet but when I saw him I hate to say this but I lost it all.... I may sound shallow but the internet can send so many messages to you when you talk to them it may feel you love them or something but when you see them it's the weirdest thing lol. Hey that's what happend with me but it can be different for you. I know my ex who I love so much is falling for this girl on the internet and just to know/think about it breaks my heart each day... because me and him are just best friends now since he moved far away and that's all we could be for now, but over time he met that internet girl... and she ruined it all for me and him in some ways... Anywayz I would say it depends on how you feel about this guy you know... and the only way you can know is when you meet him, just be careful = )

    People aren't always what they seem. You don't know what this guy is really like. He might want to take advantage of you. I highly doubt you can love someone if you don't even know what they're really like. On the interenet now adays, people can act anyway they want, but in reality be the total opposite. All i can say is be careful. This guy could be a pervert.

    I agree. You might think that you found someone that you really want to meet but you have to remember that you are talking to a computer when you are talking to someone on the internet. They could be a 84 year old man, or a even a female. Ya know? You have to be careful and DON'T EVER go and meet someone that you met online alone. EVER. Go with a group of people. And don't go to your house either. Or their house. Go out in public. If it is a pervert it will scare them away, and if they aren't then you will know that they really are interested.

    No you cannot fall for someone you haven't met.

    How can words themselves make someone love a stranger...

    If someone did fall in love with someone they never spoke to or haven't seen. Then I question their sanity and their homelife.

    Sometimes it happens that people are good with words, but in social contacts they may have bigger problems. So if he turns out to be a less talkative guy this is the reason why.

    I would also like to point out that love through the internet may become destructive, since the person on the other side may be somebody else...

    Words have great impacts on people. You can hurt anyones feeling just through words, you can write beautiful poetry with just words that make you feel all awwwwwww how cute! Nah means? There's something about words that can make people believe something or not. But the situation isn't exactly about the words commuincating from internet, it's about YOU and how you react towards certain things, and people. Mad people do meet others over the internet you just gotta be really careful, cause there are people out there that will do anything who know how to get away with things just by using WORDS. But from my point of view it't not always the most succesful thing in the world.... cause views change, minds change, feelings maybe just everything. It all depends on you that person and the situation is all...

    People may6 not be who they seem over the internet. when I was about 12, my dad wantedto prove a point to me about the internet as I was first getting it. we had a cable TV chat box. He went into an adults chatting room (so he wasn't talkingto any children) and posed as a woman. all the men he spoke to on there believed he was a woman,which proved to me that anyone can be somebody else over the internet, you just might not realise it until it's too late.
