While reading the stories on cyberlove101, I first was honestly surprised that there were so many stories where the couple found love online and it actually worked. I noticed, though, that a lot of the reasons why people went to the online chat was exactly as I expected. A lot of people were lonely, or going through something in their lives and were looking for something to fill the empty void that they had. Of course there were some stories that didn't mention being lonely, however those stories don't really go into detail about the person's reasoning for starting to chat online. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised that these relationships are being successful. If two people are at the same point and going through the same things in their lives they will value each others company and a relationship could develop. I guess it really doesn't matter where you meet someone. I don't see this ever being something for me, but everyone is different and I am starting to see how this could work for some people. However, I don't really feel like it makes a good, healthy relationship, but that's just my opinion.

I see what you're saying. I really do! I swear I used to feel the exact same way about chatting online and forming relationships, but at the end of your post you said you didn't feel like it makes a good healthy relationship, and I urge you to prove that statement correct for your own experience. Meeting someone online for me has been such a great experience and I just wish people could see that THAT is an alternative to a bar or club or party.
