We spend far too much of our lives on this website. At times it can start to feel all too real. We read each other's writing, message back and forth, and even confide in each other secrets we wouldn't tell our closest friends. Every now and then I hear a story about someone striking up a love connection on here. As much time as we spend on here, it's inevitable that a few people will start to feel an attraction after a certain amount of flirting. An attraction that is based on a few photos and an online persona that may or may not be accurate. People are much more complicated than that. And I maintain that until you have sat in front of someone and had an actual conversation, you do NOT really know him. Love is something that takes time to build. Sure, you can feel an infatuation but is that infatuation with the actual person...or with a fantasy you've built up in your mind? Because I'm telling you, the fantasy is NOT reality. I've heard of people who have entire relationships without ever meeting in person. They meet, they talk, they break up, they move on. ALL WITHOUT EVER MEETING. Is that a relationship? I'd say that would be defined as a "pen pal." How can you call someone a boyfriend you've never even touched? How can you love someone you've never SEEN? You're in love with a photo. An image on the computer screen. There's no way to even guarantee that is the person. People have been known to set up fake profiles, you know. And how can you "break up" with someone you've never even been on a date with? Some instant messages, maybe a phone call or two, some e-mails...and now you're a couple? What are you going to do next? Get married via webcam? A friend was telling me last week about someone having "webcam sex." I hated to sound naive, but I had to ask what the heck that was. I was told to use my imagination. So apparently people who have never even met, get naked and do things to themselves on webcams for other people. Apparently people also send naked pictures to others as well. Apparently people are stupid as hell. Let's just hope in this "vicious breakup" they have after four months of e-mailing and touching themselves on camera that one or the other doesn't get mad enough to actually do something with those photos. Is it really wise to put that much trust in someone? Especially someone you've never met? Can two people be in love if they've never met in person? Can they really call themselves boyfriend and girlfriend? If they stop talking, does that constitute a "breakup?" Maybe in the Internet age, we're gravitating more and more toward that. Someday we won't even have to live in the same state as our spouse. We'll get married online and have a long, happy life together via e-mail and chat. woohoo |

I can only offer this, as it's been my experience and not meant to offend the experience of others. I slept beside the same man for twenty years. I never knew him. As much as I wanted to, I didn't. And yet, I have touched the souls of many, without ever touching their skin. I have known their core. There are no parameters, nothing about man is that steadfast. I've concluded that I don't have a need to "know" and it's released me from a certain angst. I only have a need to "experience" what he is in the moment. Because as sure as I'm sitting here, it will become something else, when I'm not looking. *{=}*
