That is a tricky question, isn’t it? Let’s evaluate the question in some details. So you have met this person on the Net that you are having a great time with. You are heading home after work with the same zest that you come to work with. You are chatting with the person late into the night, without worrying about the early morning presentation that you have. These maybe the tell-tale signs of having fallen in love with an online friend. But will this relationship bloom? Will this morph into love that will be for keeps? These are questions that can only be answered after a certain period of time, once you get to know this person better and in a more involved way.

There maybe times when you are in doubt about the status of this relationship. People you meet online are not always transparent about who they are and what they do. You have to be cautious about the information you share with this person. You would not like to be taken for a ride when you are hopelessly attracted to this person. Check out the authenticity of information that you know about this person and if you are serious about continuing the relationship, make it clear to the person. The relationship will only bloom when both of you are on the same wavelength. If you find the person is not committed enough, then it’s time to take stock of the situation.

The main aspect of online love is the element of mystery. Enjoy it. There’s no point really in ensuring the future of a relationship and forgetting to savor the daily moments of tenderness. You can live in the moments, but at the same time, be prepared for the unexpected. Bad experiences are as like to happen as good ones. Have you had a bad experience looking for love online? Or have you found your soul mate? We’d like to hear you!
