😂 that'd be more effective if you spelled "sexylicious" right 😛
i believe in it, im an australian and shes an american, weve known each other for around 4 years, we talk with a mic, webcam, and send pics, so i know shes a woman.
we are gonna meet each other soon,
btw, i got to know her for about 1 year before we started to send pics to each other.
and we are both physically and mentally and emotionally attracted to each other, so i think true love online is possible.

Well, you know my views on this, Irene.
Love is a very serious and in-depth thing, and you need to know someone extremely well to be truly in love with them. And I am absolutely 100% certain that you cannot get this from an on-line relationship, no matter how close, and no matter how much talking or webcamming you do. In fact, I think the webcamming makes absolutely no difference at all. It;s morer than just mannerisms. You have to MEET someone before you really know them- properly meet.
You can form close and affectionate friendships on-line, as I am sure many of us have- but love? For what my opinion is worth, I give a big no. And as a lot of people know, I have been in this kind of situation myself, and I have seen a LOT of people be fooled into thinking they were in love on-line- only to be devastated when they find out the truth.
People on-line tend to fall in love with an ideal, a facsimile. No-one comes across the same on-line as they do in real life, and when you like someone on-line you tend to view them as being rather more perfect than they actually are. The emotion you tend to feel for on-line people is inevitably a little bit superficial and it cannot be compared to the true depth of emotion you can have for a genuine love-experience with someone you know for real.
Of course, people who think they are in love on-line and then meet an fall in love for real, and never really notice the distinction from the facsimile beocming real, but that does not really compare to the experience of so many more for whom the feelings were the same- exactly the same- but the final result false.
But I doubt anyone will listen, and I will continue to see people who aggressively swear that they are in love with their partners and refuse to accept any opinion otherwise, and again will most likely have to find things out the hard way... more than one person at these very boards have thought they were in a loving and mutual on-line relationship, and boy, was that NOT so...
However, all that said, I think meeting a potential partner and getting to know them on-line is a FAR better way to meet someone and get to know them than just picking them up in a club or bar, or something... though having met my love on-line I am maybe a bit biased there.
