Tell me about your first time....
No I havent gone off the edge and decided to probe into dv members sex lifes, I want to know if and when u came to realise that you care about someone you have never met in person and how you felt the first time, and basically just how people feel about online feelings, Ok i will elaborate with an example:
I have been talking to a female friend online for about four years, she lives in Ohio usa, i live in Suffolk uk, we have never met in person but probably know more about each other than our husbands know about us, The thing is when your engaging online you have to talk talk talk or you have nothing,but someone sat next to you theres not always need to talk deeply. This friend and I talk everyday pretty much and leave each other offline messages if our schedules fail us. I never really brought into the whole online feelings thing before and almost approached internet chat rooms and forums the way i would say ...a playstation.. turn it on, have fun and then turn it off, and the next day, new game, new people and new fun! It wasnt until this week that i realised that i genuinley care about her, She had a tragedy in her life recently and i found myself worried about her, even as far as to call her in my dinner hour from work and then again on the way home to see if shes ok.Once i realised what i had done i started thinking back over the last few years about how much money i have spent on her birthday presents, xmas presents, christening gifts for 2 of her kids, never mind the postage costs... (all of which she reciprocated )And i realise that if i saw it as a game surely i wouldnt have spent anything at all on her. So my own subconsious acts lead me to the question... are feelings for someone you have never met in person genuine or all part of some weird subconsious game you have simply got attached to?
