View Full Version : Online Crushes
Brian Damage 11-12-2002, 05:58 PM Has anybody ever had one with someone you've talked to online? Maybe it could be another member of these boards. Someone that you've talked to a lot and have gotten to know. Not to say you would ever act on it or anything, but started to really look foward to talk to them everyday. Just curious.
~LadyJess~ 11-12-2002, 06:00 PM I used to have a crush on this one guy I talked to on AIM a lot. But then one day he said that he was going to the movies with his girlfriend and I actually felt crushed, since he never told me he had a girlfriend. Not that it mattered since I live in Michigan and he lived in Iowa and we were only 15.
-*Forever*- 11-12-2002, 06:08 PM This girl I know, Cami, met this guy when she was in NYC over the weekend and she talks to him on AIM now. She brought in his pic today, he's kinda cute [I know better looking people tho], but... yeah.
Georgia's on my Mind 11-12-2002, 06:19 PM nope, but my friend had a online boyfriend....it was sick.
Kay Scarpetta 11-12-2002, 06:21 PM Chris!!! *lush* :loveya:
For the thick-headed numb-skulls who actually believed me,.... it's an inside joke between me and him! Besides.... everyone knows he's Amanda's man!! ;)

Oh you should....
:p
Kristina 11-12-2002, 06:28 PM No, and probably never will. I would never trust to meet some dude online because chances are he's 50 years old and he ****s young girls. LOL anyways, I just don't see how there could really be feelings for someone online cuz I mean I'd like to see the person talk and to actually like go places with me. Not like go on a date to a chatroom, hahahahahahaha yeah lame joke but whatever.
Janice 11-12-2002, 06:40 PM Not me personally, but my husband's best friend met his wife online. They married six month's ago.
My stepson's friend also met his wife online.
Titania 11-12-2002, 06:50 PM nope-
one of my friends is dating a girl he met online but they met in person before that- so its kinda different. i wouldnt have an "online crush" unless we had met in real life- its scary that you dont know for sure who someone is online.
fr00ti 11-12-2002, 06:52 PM no...um thats weird.
dawsongirl 11-12-2002, 07:25 PM Nope. I think someone has a crush on me, but I saw a pic of him once...definitely not my type.

Oh Jan, you've crushed me! :frown: J/K!
The reason I've asked is because a cousin of mine met this girl online and seems to have developed a crush. He always rushes home to chat with her. I think the girl feels the same way because they are constantly chatting morning, noon and night.

Perhaps they can meet if they don't live too far. I have an online story of my own but it's not a romance. About 18 months ago, I met a woman in AOL's Soprano's chat room. We were a bunch of Soprano fans who would gather there after the show and throughout the week to analyze the show to death. It was a great group of people in their 30s and 40s. One night, the room cleared out, and I started chatting with this woman. She lives in Michigan, is a succesful business owner, 5 years younger than myself. Her boyfriend had recently been hit and killed by a van driven by a moron coming off a crack binge. For the next six months, we'd IM a few nights a week, write e:mails, etc. Finally, we started talking on the phone, and we now we talk a couple of times a week--we don't even bother chatting online. She's funny, warm and a very good friend. My parents became ill shortly after we met, then they died, and she helped me through some dark hours. We exchanged Christmas and birthday presents. We e:mail pictures of our families, send cards, small gifts, etc. I plan on visiting her in January or February. I'm taking my sister with me for a 3-day trip. It's time. I'm really looking forward to meeting her. Watch--we'll end up hating each other. :lol:

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 11-12-2002, 10:32 PM No. Well, yes. I did look forward to talking to one guy. But eh, I was young then. Im now a woman!!!!!
Hehe. Well, I look forward to talking to everyone online- most of them are from the boards. The rest are my real friends--and who the hell wants to talk to them when you see them like everyday??
:joke::p

That is so sad about your friend's boyfriend. It sounds like this story has a happy ending because you are both close friends.
Swimfan85 11-12-2002, 11:59 PM nope, but I know someone who did
Chocoholic 11-13-2002, 12:03 AM I sorta have an on-line boyfriend right now. He's a real cool guy.

You've got that right Kitt. To think it was only months ago that you and I were cyber-brawling, and now it's a lovefest baby. :kiss:

It was sad Jenny. I met my friend online just 6 weeks after he died. The first few months of our friendship, I was giving her emotional support. Then, all hell broke loose in my life, and she pulled through for me.

That sounds like true friendship to me. Anytime you meet a person that you support through the rough times and the person supports you through your rough times, it's a true friendship.
~*Belle N'Shawn forever~* 11-14-2002, 09:58 AM Hi, I have talked with this guy for about a year on AOL...and now him and i are dating he is such a new and sweet guy! I met him the first time he was a little shy at first and me to..
And the 2nd time him and i met, we had our first kissed, and we felt a connection..and now him and i are together 4-ever and always!
Mossopp 11-14-2002, 05:05 PM Call me shallow but I could never have a crush on someone I hadn't even seen. I don't understand so-called 'internet romances'. How do you know you're attracted to someone if you've never even seen what they look like? You could like the person in question because of their personality (although one could argue that it's hard to get the gist of someones personality via a computer screen) but then that's not romance - it's just friendship.
I've met some really nice girls online (one in particular I have become very close to.........although, like every other relationship I've ever had, we're now drifting apart somewhat) but I've certainly never had a crush on any of them.

I see what you're saying Mossopp. I've met several nice people through the internet. I like talking to them and emailing them, but I wouldn't go so far to say I had a crush on them. I love them as friends, but I couldn't imagine anything else with them.
Brian Damage 11-14-2002, 06:32 PM Believe it or not, I've heard of people who fell in love online and some eventually got married. Sure there needs to be the physical attraction, but some of these people fell in love with the other person's personality. I guess it all depends on the person.

Especially if they're lying.
JDS84 11-15-2002, 10:45 PM There was this one guy who had a crush on me. He kept asking me if I would date him. I was like um no. He was from TN.
Central Perk 11-15-2002, 11:19 PM I dunno I saw some commercials for Match.com and they showed couples who got married and even had kids...I guess they fell in love with each others personalities then met in person and it turned out they loved them in person too.
