The Fate Online relationships?

This answer is different for each person but let’s take that aside and focus mainly on the understanding of love.  I’m not going to get into my theory on love as I will save that for another blog, but we will go into some of the issues and good points that show it’s possible to fall in love with someone.
 Let’s start off with the good:  Online relationships still enable you to have a normal single life, which is good when you are offline hanging out with your friends.  You may get a call every now and again but you can easily lie (big problem) and continue to have a wonderful time with your friends.  You don’t actually have to care what you look like when you talk on the phone or online, the other person cannot see you so it’s wonderful. I personally don’t fall for people online so not sure what else is wonderful about it.
 So let’s get into the bad: Everything I posted above.  No but when you fall in love with someone online you are falling in love with a thought, a possibility.  It’s not actually happening yet and sometimes you can go six months to a year without actually arguing because you don’t have any major decisions or problems come up in the relationship.  Once you meet you have plenty of things you have to decide: Who’s going to move?  Where are you going to live?  Are there going to be Jobs available?  Should we move in together right away?  Are we going to have sex right off the bat?
 Online dating carries the same principals are normal dating but allow you to actually talk and get into more deep conversations.  Some people actually get turned on by a good conversation or a conversation about something they are passionate about.  Your emotional needs are easily met within the first hour or two of talking for the day but your physical needs are being left out.  While it is impossible to have an nonsexual relationship (you wouldn’t need to meet) it’s not common.
 So one of the problems come from your physical needs becoming urges and over a period of time those urges get really strong and you can’t ignore them anymore.  So when you both meet, those physical urges are active and sometimes sex becomes the main priority instead of getting to know how someone really is in real life.
 After sex the emotional bond is sometimes frayed subconsciously and even the smallest little things can start to spark a fire that is sure to destroy your relationship.
 I’m sure a lot of people have dated someone online then met them in real life and found out who they really were.  You fall in love with this thought of someone, yes you have real feelings for each other but it’s merely a thought.  Then when you two meet, you have to start falling in love with each other instead of the thought.  Sometimes that thought could be too strong and you can’t fall in love with the person themselves.
 I honestly feel it is best to meet people early on and start a relationship out correctly.  Go on a few dates then if you both like each other start a relationship.  You would be surprised at how much time and heartache you could save by going on an actual date than jumping straight into the bed.  Yes I understand we have sexual urges but start early on so that your sexual urges don’t start eating at your emotional bond.
 While you may be in love with someone online you always have to remember that when you meet, you will have to fall in love with that person all over again.  Just because something clicked and you can finish each other’s sentences, doesn’t mean you are soul mates.  I will get into another blog about soul mates but that’s not online so :P .
 If you really care for someone, start the relationship out correctly.  1. Go on a few dates, start from scratch when you actually get to meet.  2. Don’t rush into sex because then you build up a physical bond for someone instead of emotional.  3. Never, never, never move in with someone you do not know in real life.
 Note: Not everything I say will fit every situation.  There are people who fall in love on the internet and it’s smooth sailing afterwards, but not everyone is as lucky.  Each incident will never be identical, but you just have to remember to take things easy.
 Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you have enjoyed it.  The words written in this blog are from my own expression and I do not believe that I am 100% correct as each circumstance can be different.  I do not take any responcibility if you take what I write and use it then bad things come from it.  Each circumstance is different and if you are having an issue and this blog fits it, please send me a message for some advice tailored to your situation.
 Please comment, you do not have to but I would love to know what the readers are thinking.  I get bored, my mind wonders, I write… Do you like what you have read?
