Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 2 weeks ago

After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

Could this be possible?About 2 weeks ago I meet a guy that wanted to add me in his messenger adress it was strangely because I din't gave it those days to anyone and more strangely was the fact that he told me that he found out my id just by putting some words in there-he told me he laways had a passion for a name like mine and he added another one and by coincidence he found me(I must say I have another id but couldn't register with it because it had a line that wasn't accepted " _ "- I forgot how its called).So speaking with this guy just from 2 weeks I discovered that he is just like a wizard-he completly fascinated me.This ever happend to you?Did you ever fell in love with a guy from the internet?
He just seems my type of guy but I don't know he seems so sincer but I still have some doubts!
Am I crazy?Is love on the internet possible?

The say othing is impossible, and im inclined to agree.

but.. be carefl. heres my take on internet love...

Firs, on the internet you get to know the persons personality first, instead of being drawn in by looks. this can be very good, as the relationship wont be so shallow. be careful though, a lot of peopl can act very differently online and in real life.

also, any picures for proof of who he is can be false, you can download random pics of gus/girls from a ton of sites. before you ever go meet him, try talking on the phone, or ventrilo, or web-camming. evensill if you go meet im in reality make sure its in a crowded public place in the daytime.

but yeah, it can definitely be real love, thats why you might want to go meet him in reality. still, be very cautious, a broken heart is never easy or fun to have. then theres always the tales of onlne rapists nd stuff... so just be careful ^_^

Well, sure have some of it! but should be very be careful of it! cause many people use the fake picture on the internet! and you also don't know them so well too! although they say on their way of their personality... but someones can't be trust be so well! i had say this because my friend had met this problems before.

I always say it's better safe than sorry. The internet is an incredible tool capable of bringing together people who would never have met each other otherwise, but like everything else has been abused by some preying on others' trust.. I too have met a lot of folks online, and my experience has been that most were legit, but a few were fake. As a man, it bothers me to hear of girls lured out of their home with promises of a great date that turn out disasterous.

My girlfriends typically ask for pictures, then at least do a phonecall before meeting up with the person. And typically I was asked to be the "mole" and be at the designated location for security purposes. Once I got the signal that the person was legit, I took my leave. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but Cali has a bunch of freaks ya know? lol.

I hope that he turns out legit for you and if anything you make another great friend out of it, if not more. :)

The other have pretty much covered it. I will just tell you some stories xD
Let see one of my friends met a guy online (she was 21 and he was 16) so they end up ??falling in love? with each other. Anyway they continue to talk to each other online for awhile and eventually met. I think they were together for about a year or so. But one day the guy said he wasn??t interest in her anymore and just disappeared. So yeah my friend was rather sad about that but she eventually got over it.

Now I have hear of other stories where people met online and go one to marry each other. But I have also hear the other side of it where one of them turns out to be a sex offender.
So I say you should just be really safe about it and don??t meat with this guy unless you got some friends with you :)

Very possible!

And I know this from experience. I met my fiance online believe it or not. He saw me online on YM and thought it would be cool to chat me up. We have been together for 5 years now and getting married in a year or so. He is the love of my life and I never would have imagined that I would find love over the internet. But of course now a days it's very hard to trust strangers over the net so be very careful. It took 2 months before I finally decided to meet up with my guy. We talked over the phone first and for our first meeting I had asked him to come over my house and made sure that my dad was home to meet him then after that I offered to drive my car to the restaurant so I could get away if need be. :D Fortunately our date went very well and started our relationship.

Just be very careful when you meet up. Ask friends to go with you and meet up in a place where there are lots of people.

I don't really believe in this Internet love thing, it's just my opinion but I don't. Sure, some Internet love is based on personality but they might act different on the Internet than in real life. Other Internet love are based on looks, especially if they ask for your picture right after you met them. I heard way too many bad stories about this whole Internet love and it affected my opinions on it. Since it's the Internet, people can say whatever they like. If they're 12 years old, they can lie and say their 18. Heck, why search for pictures online, they can just use their sister's or brother's if they have one. A few Internet love does end up being real love but the chances aren't great. Who knows? You have to take the risk to find out. I wouldn't take the risk. I rather make friends on the Internet and if I knew them long enough, I'll meet them in person. That is, once I'm older and I have money and a car. =]

The girls here in Sweden use internet and communities more than guys to stay in contact with friends and make new ones. So yes, love is all around me here :) Its not uncommon that you learn to know someone on the internet and meet him/her later on IRL.

I met my first "girlfriend" online, turned out to be one of the weirdest people I've ever met. Now, I deny ever having a girlfriend of any sort.

I won't condemn love on the internet, just be very careful and be sure to meet them IRL, a lot. Becuase, if you love them, you're gonna wanna see them irl rather than over a computer moniter.

Ive never had an online relationship, other than friends... but yeah

one friend of mine was going out with a boyfriend she met online, who lived like 1200 miles away or so, and they were together for about 2-3 years? visited each other once or twice a year... then she broke up with him beause the feelings just kinda died. internet often means long distance, which is a pain.

What do I mean to you?..

To be serious, I also dont believe in internet relationships. For almost any kind too. Even making a friend online, seems a bit akward to me.
Sure, I can meet someone real cool, and talk to him/her for a long time, but in the end, I dont really know that person. If a family member were to ask me what that person meant to me, i wouldn't really be able to give them a straight answer. I'd be embarrased to say that I care for someone that I only know through text, and dont even know how he/she looks.

In the end, it's always best to meet someone outside, not online. For many reasons, really.

Hm, for your situation in particular I'm skeptical. I mean, I'm not saying that relationships can't work when people meet on the internet, but for the most part it can only work if the two people are both willing to put in the time and effort, and are old enough to really have a chance to meet and have a face to face relationship. Yes love should be based on deeper things which usually come through first when you're chatting online, but there are aspects of a relationship that can't be conveyed through the internet or even just over the phone. And since there is a certain level of danger through lies and decit when it comes to meeting someone in person that you met online, taking a relationship to that level can be difficult.

You say he's sincere...No offense but it's ridiculously easy to come across as sincere, about almost anything online. You can carefully craft your words without body language, facial expression, or voice inflection to give you away. Hell, you can scan your conversation if you lie to make sure your stories are consisent...Proceed with caution.

This guy sounds sketchy. He has a passion for a name like yours he says? What about the other things that are much more important to what make you, well...you? And anyway, you mentioned that you have only known him for two weeks. I myself have been in a very long term relationship with my boyfriend for three and a half years, and many of my friends have been in long term relationships for as long or longer...Let me tell you something. Love is not something that you will have after chatting with someone for two weeks on the internet. Love is not about fascination, or infatuation. It's about common interests, goals, dreams...about finding someone you want to make happier then anyone you've ever met in your entire life.

Very well said Kirjavaa. Sounds like you are a hopeless romatic type of person.

The net can open doors but choose wisely which doors to enter. Any young person should take extra precautions in falling for someone who they have not met irl.
