Didn't need it then to fall in love, don't need it now to fall in love. If you want to find a mate - a good one - find one at work. There at least you get to see if she/he actually works, or slacks off, whines and complains, is a back-stabber, etc. A bad place to find a mate is church because there people all put on a facade - the essence of deceit - so you can't see how a person truly is. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13152136 The workplace is generally the WORST place to find a partner/mate/spouse whatever. Agreed about church. Can't imagine taking a chance meeting someone online - blind dates are awful but usually involve a third-party friend setting the whole thing up - with the internet, you have NO idea whatsoever who/what you are getting involved with. It's just creepy. So that leaves bars and clubs, which leaves out a lot of (smart) people who steer clear of that scene. So what's left? The chance that a friend knows a friend of a friend . . . I hated dating way back when - it's beyond daunting today for anyone with standards and scruples. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13152136 wow, thats a really good idea. i mean, as long as there is an acceptable mate at your work. but as far as what the OP is asking: i really do think that you can fall in love with someone you've never met except on the internet. its strange to say that though because a big part of falling "in love" (at least as far as i believe thus far) is a chemical interaction between to people which in turn causes a chemical reaction in the individual. i would say pheromones can be a big part of this, as well as other things that usually take face-to-face contact. but i KNOW that you can develop very deep feelings for someone you have only met online. i have, at least. and then when i finally met them in person i just felt that way more...but i guess it could go the other way too. i always felt that on an intellectual level this may be a beneficial way to find a lifelong mate, as you don't have a lot of the strange dating games and you base your attraction and fondness much more on the PERSON than the presentation. thinking about it like this is challenging my ideas on "in love" feelings and what really causes them. weird. |
