Love online?

As I have stated before, I do believe that Alexis found love and fell in love with someone she met online. I think that the online chat room environment may have helped her do that. She may have found the chat room to be safe for her to open up and share her feelings with Craig when she first met him since they couldn't see each other and get physical reactions from each other. This could have helped their connection start and grow. However, I don't think that she really fell in love with Craig until they met and they really got to see and spend time with each other. I think that they are both really lucky that they found each other this way and that they both ended up being who they said they were and not crazy people. I also think that they are also lucky that they liked each other as much in person as they did online. Just because you have a verbal connection with someone doesn't always mean that you will have that physical connection as well. You can't feel a person's energy, their intensity, their passion through a keyboard.

I am starting to see that finding a person you want to start a relationship with online is possible. I just don't really believe that it would ever work for me because for me, in a relationship feelings come more from what isn't said. Conversation is important, but what is felt when there isn't anything to say really speaks for itself. Although, I really should never say never because anything can happen haha. I really don't think, while reading this interview, that it ever felt real to me. It really came off as a story, and I'm not sure an even good one. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge sap, a romantic person, and the first to cry at a happy love story. But this for me wasn't cute. I didn't find myself saying "aww" at any point of it. It really just felt strange, weird, and I hate to say it, desperate. I really want to jump on board with the online relationship thing, but I can't seem to yet.
