Its true. The internet allows people to show you what they want you to see.
Also true.
However in my Net dating experience there is a Reason that people are looking on the internet. There is some big shameful thing that has them hiding from the world they know and pursuing the kind of relationship that comes with being an anomaly.
The sad and scary thing is that people can be whoever they want to be on the internet, so you just dont REALLY know what you are getting into
DISCERNMENT!
If you really love that person and its from God. It will happen no matter a far away that person might be. Take a chance on love it just might happen.
http://christianchat.com/christian-singles-forum/701-online-relationships.html#post13440 This is a thread that someone started awhile back, if you want to see more responses. Personally, I've found some very good friends on the net (on this site), but the relationship didn't start with the phrase "Do you have a boyfriend?". I like starting friendships where appropriate and letting God take the relationship where He wants it to go, staying prayerful about it the whole time; saves so much heartache that way. Besides, even if we do end up getting married, we'll still need to be friends, so we'll have good practice
