Assuming this girl isn't the product of a delusional mind, you are quite possibly the most conflicted person on ATOT.

You were going to fly all the way down to Australia to see her, yet you still haven't talked to her on the phone?!

yes, i've considered that possibility. but i doubt it. conduct otherwise is not pointing towards that

You mean the conduct she's mentioned of getting finger banged and God knows what else she hasn't told you about yet? THAT conduct?

Man, you need to get out of the house and deal with real people. Or at least find someone closer to you online that you can "fall in love" with.

You tell us that we dont understand how you feel, but lots of us are trying to tell you that you dont understand what love is if you fall head over heals for some person you never met in person. There is a difference between love and infatuation. With love, you can be infatuated, but with infatuation, you are not always in love.

What he said, also..

This might come out a bit harsh, but do you really think she's going to wait for you if she wants to get banged in the car and god knows what?

You need to get back into the real world..

Eventually? Why not just pick up the phone and call her now? If you can afford a plane ticket all the way there, i'm sure you can afford a couple of phone calls.

Did you ever consider either going outside once in a while to maybe a pool hall or a club or something to meet some more accessable girls? or at least using a profile search to find girls that are a little closer to where you live?

Not to mention maybe putting an AGE filter on it, limit it to girls who would actually be legal.

She is 16 obviously curious about lot of things including sex. She sounds normal you on the other hand sound like a caveman.

You can not find a girl in LA? Are you gay or the Elephant man?

A 16 y/o bisexual girl that likes to try different positions and wants to have freeway sex and you are disappointed and sad...

You need to talk to him

How high can your moral standards be if you openly talk about private conversations with someone on an open forum like this?
 

In regards to the original question: I would say yes it's possible to "fall in love", also known as "infatuate", with someone on the 'net. But I haven't been convinced that it's very much possible to really love someone on the 'net. I mean bold love. Bold love includes, but isn't limited to, trust, honesty, and maturity. You may think you do, but you don't. Don't get me wrong, there are always exceptions to rules. For instance, I imagine chances of it working might increase for people who met by accident through a private e-mail or website. But I couldn't see it working for chatrooms, forums, dating sites, etc. meetings.

Why are you so desperate? If I were that lady (bisexual or not), I would be scared of someone like you. With your desperation, you sound like a freak. I remember the pic you shared of yourself. You didn't look too much like a freak there, so why do you seem to be lacking in the self-confidence to find people in real life?

You know, I watched Crime And Punishment on NBC last night. I was scared to death. It was such horrific crime committed by two individuals who met via the 'net (a true story and from the San Diego county). The man was married, and the woman (actually a young girl about age 18 or so if I remember) was married too or involved at least. The guy was way older than she. They were having an affair. She wanted her significant other murdered. She accused him of raping her. She got the right guy who was willing to do it. And they succeeded. They burnt the body to remove traces. Unfortunately for her, she couldn't act like Miss Innocent, abused lover and wife to two persons. She seemed less of an innocent woman. As the judge put it, she was a cold-hearted killer. I guess the advantage she thought she would have was that 'oh so little, physically powerless, defenceless woman who couldn't hurt anyone'. Anyway, she was convicted at the end and sentenced to life in prison without parole, and so was he. (I was happy to hear that.) Of course the story was told by the prosecutor and the defendants, when they confessed earlier. (The guy had retracted his confession, whilst she maintained hers but argued that she was powerless and coerced to be an accomplice by the co-defendant. Besides, she didn't actually pull the trigger.)

Anyway, call me paranoid, but I'm very mindful.

just curious, what do you mean desperate? and how am i scary? :confused:


oh we did meet by accident... i dont belong to any "online dating" things. so no, that is not how we met.

but thanks for the reply luvly :)




Toasthead: it's not for me to say if my moral standards are high or low... if you checked those other links, i had long and engaging arguments about roles in society and how you cannot judge yourself, that kind of thing.
