Have you ever fallen in love with someone you met online...

..and how did you both feel when you met in person? Was the feeling the same or different?

@SW-User wonderful to hear

I have fallen for someone, deep and hard. For over a year we talked almost every single day. Sometimes more than once. We made plans to meet, about six months in. But at around 14 months, she ghosted me. No warning, no sign. Last words were she loved me and couldn't wait to get home from the hospital she was in.

That was six months ago and nothing. So I wouldn't know. I thought she was the one, but figure I f'd it up somehow.

Now I do have friends that met online, then in person....they've been married 11 yrs now and still happy as ever.

@Silverwings I've tried every way I know how. But nothing and her daughter used her phone and Skype to call me. So I know it's two different people, but never got her daughters email.

It's just over. My last messages to her were that I missed her, wish I knew what was going on and that I'd stop bothering her with all the messages I'd keep sending her. That I'd be here if she ever wanted to let me know what was going on or if she didn't want to, that she could just tell me to bugger off and I'd know she was alright.

Yes I did. I fell for her really hard. I still do love her but the same cannot be said from her end.

I was working on my end to make it work. Now being in a relationship with someone from a different country is never easy. I still made efforts. I know I did because if this was a joke then I surely wouldn't be in the situation I am in right now.

I wanted to meet her. But my financial situation wouldn't allow me to attain a visa. So I asked her to meet me and I had promised that I would sponsor the entire trip.

However, at the end of the 4 the year, she blamed me for not being able to meet me because she had spent the money on her family. Then she dumped me with a wide variety of excuses from marriage, interests and even my date of birth. The irony is she sprung all of this out of the blue. Heck I was ignored after my birthday which is when all this happened (when she dumped me). I didn't understand what led to it because I even thought she was sick and she apparently wasn't. I was ignored and blamed for being ignored lol.

Long story short, she dumped me and contacts me again to ghost me. In the end when I see her social media, I realize that she went back to her ex that she wanted when we were together. Apparently, I was nothing but a pawn in her entire game. She blocked my number and kept me off everything in end. I realized that I meant nothing to her at all from the first day. That killed me from within.

@Beatbox34 I am sorry that happened to you, nobody deserves to be treated that way!
Silverwings · 61-69, F
@Beatbox34 It seems that some people have It lucky and others have it hard,
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
@Silverwings It's okay. What I couldn't digest was the fact that she used me as a rebound fot 4 years to get rid of her loneliness. She did all that because she only wanted me because her ex was of the same race as I am and when I pieced all that together, it hurt me and broke my heart more. I got into her life because she was depressed. I fixed her but ended up broken in the end.

That scar taught me a lot and I learned my lesson to not trust easily anymore.

Yes, we met on EP. He came over from Australia to the UK, after an eight month long distance relationship so we met at the airport for the first time. Three years later we're married with a daughter 🥰🥰

I grew to love someone I met. The feelings weren't returned. We never met. 🤷‍♀️
Lovelivelaugh · 41-45, F

We met online and I didn't fall in love with him until I met him.
Lovelivelaugh · 41-45, F
@Doomflower thats makes sense. Was he the same in person or different?
Doomflower · 41-45, M
@Lovelivelaugh nicer than he looked in his picture. He has resting bitch face.
Lovelivelaugh · 41-45, F
@Doomflower thats so sweet
SW-User
Yes and I felt just as intensely when I met him in person. I genuinely loved him madly
Lovelivelaugh · 41-45, F
@SW-User encouraging that it can feel the same. Im meeting him next week and i have a pain in my chest from thinking about him. Fingers crossed.
SW-User
@Lovelivelaugh I wish you the best of luck. It ended in incredibly painful heartache for me but with that being said I still don't regret it. I am happy to have at least met him
Lovelivelaugh · 41-45, F
@SW-User thats my thinking too. Its always better to take the chance
MzAnonymouz · 36-40, F
Yes I have. It was lust at first sight, then we fell in love. 5 years into it and now I wish it never happened.
Bushmanoz · 61-69, M
@MzAnonymouz oh thats terrible
Scarfface · 46-50, M
My last long term started online. When we first met it felt natural and easy and things just happened.
SW-User
It was good feeling.

I've only had the odd heart flicker when I got a message!
No love!
Silverwings · 61-69, F
Did you get her drs name or anyone you could find out more from? Do you have her address? or who she worked for, anything?
Bushmanoz · 61-69, M
it does happen...
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F
I just remember feeling so excited and even a bit romantic. Meeting the man I loved for the first time. It felt surreal and I remember saying a few times is this real? Even laying beside him looking at each other face to face was something that felt new and like I never wanted to leave. On our next visit he asked me to marry him and of course I did 🥰
