I think it's because this person wants to break another person's home ,especially when they know the person is married and they don't limit their nitwittedness to naira land but further carry it to yahoo IM and share pornograpy links and admire each other's ikebe.
I hope I solved the puzzle,I could do better if you're not satisfied.

'Thelma'. . . you aint solved nothing yet  undecided

It's true sha, love can come from anywhere, but personally I don't think I could ever, I'd be to scared that the person wouldn't be all that I gave him credit to be once I finally met him in real life.

Geez, lol, well, I'd definitely have to see him on webcam in the first place to even initiate any relationship, but I mean, I'm not only attracted to the way a guy looks, but also his mannerisms, etc, I don't mean to be picky but something about the way a guy moves his lips when I'm talking to him or the way he walks can easily turn me off, lol, I'd be more comfortable being in person that way I can give him a thorough assesment, besides it's easy to get carried away and build false hope when your behind the safety of a camera/keyboard

Lol @ "thorough assessment cheesy. We women can select shaaa. But both offline and online tongue, some guys can be 100% cool to know.

Re: Why Do Some People Fall In Love Online? by Orikinla(m): 12:14pm On Feb 19, 2010
LET ME PUT THIS IN CAPS.

IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS NOT WISE TO FALL IN LOVE ONLINE.

MOST PEOPLE ONLINE USE FAKE IDs AND FAKE PROFILES.
THEY CLAIM TO BE WHAT THEY ARE NOT.

WE HAVE BITCHES AND WITCHES POSING AND POSTURING AS INNOCENT SWEETIES ONLINE.
SOME BABES EVEN ON NAIRALAND USE UP TO FOUR IDs TO ACT AS FOUR DIFFERENT CHARACTERS.

I MET SOMEONE ONLINE, BUT I DID NOT FALL IN LOVE UNTIL AFTER WE MET AND STARTED OUR RELATIONSHIP FOR OVER THREE YEARS BEFORE I CAN NOW SAY I AM IN LOVE WITH HER.

YOU CAN MEET ONLINE, BUT PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THE PERSON UNTIL YOU HAVE MET OFFLINE AND DATED FOR A WHILE.

What most people mistake for falling in love is FALLING IN LUST.
Re: Why Do Some People Fall In Love Online? by Nobody: 12:21pm On Feb 19, 2010
please people should wake up and know wat time is it!!!!!
there are busy young men and women out there who are quite busy
to meet and socializie cos of their tight schedules. so meeting someone
online, phone chats and later seeing in person can creates a wonderful relationship
this is a social media age, u must nt wait 4 a girl at the conner of the street or pick her as u are driving along like a
call girl, meeting pple online is perfect, it all depends on wat u want!!!!!!
Re: Why Do Some People Fall In Love Online? by maedan(f): 12:35pm On Feb 19, 2010
I guess from the replies from some matured minds for and against, I would say there is nothing wrong in seeking friendship online. It's a new era, and like someone said, busy schedules and all that give no time for proper socialising. But as Orikinla stated, be cautious and get to know the person physically because some can cover up, use fake facebook ids to get u to add them, reveal your personal life while keeping themselves protected. If not for the risk of meeting the wrong people, I would advise online daters to keep it up.

why do some people fall in love online? it is simply because they can't fall in love offline.

Because love does not have a permanent address.
Re: Why Do Some People Fall In Love Online? by Akebulan: 6:41am On Feb 20, 2010
Why? Same reason why people fall in love in person. Because they fall in love! Because they like something about the person, thats why.

If youre trying to imply that falling in love online is wrong, (to each her own but, ) i think you have the wrong idea.

In a world filled with so much hate, am suprised we care where or how people fall in love. Love is love, regardless if you were in the bathroom taking a piss or on the internet checking your email when you tripped, why does it matter?

Re: Why Do Some People Fall In Love Online? by Jairzinho(m): 9:09am On Feb 20, 2010
I guess one of the reasons people may be slightly cautious about revealing their real Ids online,may be becos u can never tell when the other party would unilaterally break off all comunication ,thereby leaving one in an emotional lurch .
Re: Why Do Some People Fall In Love Online? by Sonofpeace(m): 9:52am On Feb 20, 2010
Some of us are really getting it all wrong the question why do people fall in love online to me its tactical en also cunning. I still stand by what i said previously that one can make friends online en not to fall in love online, anybody that does fall in love because of webcam, chatroom, skype, phone chat etc is either confused or fraudulent. In a scenario where a guy met a lady online en later met her offline where the fortunately fell in love, will you say that they fell in love online because they 1st met online?
Re: Why Do Some People Fall In Love Online? by H2O2: 10:21am On Feb 20, 2010
What exactly is love and why is it so puzzling to perceive that it can be harvested and compounded online?
Hearts can meet anywhere.

It's not insurmountably difficult to understand that love is an emotion triggered by whatever special kind of impulses the brain receives and interpretes a certain way. The emotion can be enhanced and kept alive through physical interactions with the someone; when you're able to see them, feel them, smell them physically etc . . . these are all vital to the survival of love. However, to think that feelings of love cannot be initiated through wired interactions with people met online is simply flawed.

People both online and offline can impress upon your mind certain images of themselves that you in turn could misinterpret and could end up being misled. You never truly know who a person is completely even in person; pray serendipity leads you to a genuine individual who will not deceive you.

i assent with your opinion but i really believe that anybody that fall in love online without seeing the person one on one is psychologically demerited.

To everyone who doesn't understand or who doesn't believe in internet dating let me tell you it can be real. I always thought that it was for losers until one day I met my husband online. We talked for a year about everything. He being from Nigeria and me being from the United States we had many differences. We taught eachother about our lives and our cultures. We became best friends and despite the nigerian scam worries that everybody told me about I knew he was different and special. I went to meet him in person. I fell in love with him even more. I loved his family and his culture. I finally felt like i belonged with someone for the first time in my whole life. We got married a year ago and we remain so happy and finally complete. I will love him with all of my heart forever. God did bring us together! My husband is black I am white he is Nigerian I am American He is calm and I am nervous BUT WE ARE ONE! and we are a great example that LOVE can be found on a computer as easily as anywhere else in the world. Please don't put down something simply because you can't relate to it. Thanks smiley
