How long does it take to fall in love?

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

and I wasn't talking about long distance relationships I was referring to couples who met online...

I have met a lot of people "online" (friends, not an SO) who I then went to meet in the flesh. There are a lot of people who are completely different in the flesh than they are online. They may be able to project certain aspects of themselves online differently, where they feel inhibited in real life (for reasons of shyness, or whatever) and no amount of time with then in the flesh will change that.

On the other hand, some people are exactly the same online as in the flesh.

Good job, Steve. You get a

Absolutely! Keep going, mate!

Wait, maybe that's not what you meant...

Oh I love boobs too! It just *really* turns me on when I have to click a link to get to them. It's so suspenseful, and satisfying.

I'm getting sooo excited.

Boobs are like that. The little teasers.

and your point is??

if someone were to meet me as they were walking down the street or whatever.... I come off as a very shy person but once you get to know me I am totally different..

Why so defensive, Marylin?

What Robin is saying is common knowledge. I'm nothing like this IRL, and I'm not the only one.

I am not defensive.. furthest thing from it.. just sharing my point of view...

and yes I know people act different online but my point is so do people IRL.. the internet doesn't have the market on that...

I disagree. IRL people can always be trusted. Always.

Why, because you've seen then so if they betray you you can give a description to a police sketch artist?

you need to learn that most anything AJ says should not be taken seriously...

No, because the Internet makes people evil. Without the Internet, everyone is honest and upstanding. Oh, and beautiful too. The Internet is full of ugliness. Which explains why I spend so much time here.

My point is exactly as stated. I'm not sure why you are responding quite so defensively when I am only stating my opinion and experience. Just as you are free to do yours.

Most people take time to get to know properly no matter how you meet them. Some are *not* like they are online for reasons known only to them.
