Very safe for some, and very unsafe and disappointing for some.

Often times, we hear few random cases of manipulations and fatality. But we rarely ask questions about successful relationships, marriages and good sex this method has provided.
It all depends on the timming, location, personalities involved, intentions, level of maturity and luck. The same way it is for others falling in love through the "normal" way.

Bottomline is that the so-called love, be it facebook or "normal" love is not perfect. Its been tarnished with the idea of wanting something from the other. And when the initial expectations are not met, chances are that we as human may react negatively towards the other.

Nigeria is full of pretenders. Many of those saying "not save,never,not possible" etc do fall in love with faceless Nairaland members,let alone facebook and other social networks.

whatever it may be, lute, infatuation or love, it's quite save as long as persons involves plans to meet each other. If what you eventually see when you meet the person is contrary to that person's picture/image on the net or your expected qualities, discontinue with the person. It's as simple as ABC.

Well, there is this girl I met online, we've been talking for over a year now and we are fond of each other... We've exchanged pix a lot and I intend meeting her sometime in january... I wouldn't say I love her but I've come to like her person... #plus I'm not in it for the looks... I'm good looking so my looks already covers all her flaws (if any)!!... I'm after the personality and she's my kinda person..
She has the really nasty name she calles me.... #smiling#

Hmm
Think there are a few corrections here.
"Fall in love".... don't think so! That takes years in a partnership or marriage. I feel the word is used liberally.

Phileo or Eros, definitely!!!
Above are posts of ladies fighting over celebrities and laying claim to them.
Possibly never communicated or set eyes physically on these men. But here they are throwing pillows and popcorn at each other.

If there's some communication, internet, telephony etc.... conversations can help present a sketch of personalities.For those with a false front, inconsistencies will be evident and hopefully picked on by the other.

There's been comments on fake pictures, fake jobs or family associations....
My take on that: Reduced focus on the physical appearance whilst more on the character makes info gathering more worthwhile. Whilst at it, get as much information as possible. The beauty of this format is you don't get beclouded by physical yearnings whilst carrying out your due diligence.

The unfortunate stories of "internet relationships" going awry keep one observant; but I feel this mode of meeting pple has had bad publicity. There are many cases of "physical relationships" that have ended in murder, deceit, rape, fraud and other vices: but this mode hasn't been brow-beaten.

It goes without saying, maturity and sometimes age play a big factor.....
Questions on current affairs as an example gives you a view of their knowledge, diction but more so their slant or views on life.

Of course, all has to be done prayerfully.

Please before we start , lets first clarify that there is a difference between "loving someone" and "falling in love with someone". Only STUPXD people will think these two things mean the same.

1. God is not a mortal man for anyone to fall in love with and have a romantic relationship with
2. Falling in love is mainly a Western concept of moving from a feeling of neutrality towards a person to one of love.Its a romantic concept. You cannot have a romantic feeling towards God can you?

PLEASE LETS BE CLEAR.

Mrs.Chima:


Falling in love and loving someone are two different things.
I think you can fall in love with God.
After-all, You do not just start loving him automatically rather with time u you get to appreciate and love him.
