Tale of Love Online


The idea of finding love online is unbelievable to some and proven successful for others. A event that is rarely heard about yet we may observe online. Do you see couples interact online?

A popular activity for many people, men and women alike, is entering a online chat room. One may find many conversations just flying across their screen. Social butterflies gathering to share conversation and maybe have music playing simultaneously. Josie enjoyed a playful, flirty and friendly conversation with music in the background.

A couple nights a week, Josie would enter a favorite chat room to meet up with a few other women. They discussed offline activities, latest home projects, parenting tips, home decor ideas, usual women talk, as some refer to it. Other times, with men in the room, discussions would get flirty and playful or philosophical. Josie is one of the cynics, in regards to the idea of internet romance therefore kept a distance, with the men in the world of chat.

 One night, Joe entered the chat room and introduced himself to the room.  Josie and her friends welcomed him to the room and helped him learn the common chat room abbreviations used.  He was new to the world of chat rooms and admitted to being extremely baffled with the chat room ‘lingo’.  It was a evening of learning and laughter about chat and each other.

A few months of these nights passed for this group of friends meeting regularly.  The hour, day and room were specific and remained the same between them.  Joe also remained a constant visitor to the room enjoying the company and earned himself private message rights, a place in their messenger lists and emails.  One night, he sent a email to Josie.

The email address that Josie used to register with the site was not a popular email client since it usually filled with a variety of ‘spam’ offers.  Visiting this particular email account made for the tedious tasks of spending time setting up spam filters and deleting offers of interest for men.  What women needs offers specific for men?  She found Joe’s email and curious, opened it.

Emails were exchanged that became a near weekly routine, of her resistance and his persistence.  Josie found photographs and images of flowers, a favorite of hers.  Other days, a poem which Joe wrote himself, describing effects upon him from one of their chat nights about something she said or did.  Letters to her describing a day in Joe’s life at work or some other event.  He did not shy at withholding his emotions from her.  Josie would shake her head and smile with each email she found from Joe.

A few women online do not enjoy entering into conversations about relieving raging hormones or want to view web cams of exhibitionists.  Unfortunately, interactions in chat can be bizarre or mean spirited.  A risk one will find but there are lots of other people, rooms and sites available that can prove to be a more enjoyable environment altogether.

So, back to topic at hand, time continued to pass and telephone numbers and addresses were exchanged. They both lived far apart but Josie started receiving actual letters, calls and gifts in her mail. Joe sent gifts and letters that showered Josie in his love and affection with sheer honesty. Now Josie started believing in Joe and his intentions. Conversations online remained close with their little circle of friends but emails, letters and telephone calls became more in-depth between them. I don’t know the ending but Josie was in love, last time we talked. All the best to you Josie!

I go into Yahoo! chat rooms and do almost the same as Josie, probably why we got along so well. I learned about chat and it’s pro’s and con’s. Boot programs that can disrupt one’s chat experience, personalizing emotions downloaded from Tiglath, anti-boot programs that help block boots, Y! Tunnel, Mic locks and sound cards, so even I can play tunes in the chat room.

A variety of chat rooms exist for different purposes such as dating chat rooms, singles chat, traders chat room, audio chat, business and the list goes on. I highly recommend that one practice maintaining personal safety especially the single women, as there are also predators, risks from computer hacks and viruses. Keep your computer and personal information as private as possible. Chat is not for everybody and just as in the real world, there are ugly people and least we get a Ignore button or move elsewhere.

Very nice story and great useful, too.

I never expected to find love, let alone online, but sometimes people just mesh all too well together.

Hi StevieDow, I think some people are incapable of being deliberately deceitful towards others and they are usually the ones that get hurt the most as sad as that is. Thank you for visiting and sharing your comments. :)

I have heard of people falling in love via the internet. The question is do they fall in love with the person or the persona?

My online friends at this point are a bunch of crusty old fisherman. They send me pictures of their latest catch just to remind me I am still working and they are not. Nice hub

Hi Dave, I think it's a wonderful method of communicating between two people. Sort of like a throw back to old fashioned values.

Hi Jerry, chat rooms can seem intimidating with meeting existing cliques but once a rapport is built, friendship and laughter hopefully will be the main goal.

Thank you for visiting and sharing your comments. :)

Dame Scribe,personally I have used this form of communicating, not recently mind you. It is a very beautiful way, though very impersonal at first to meet someone and yes fall in love too, provided both parties are sincere and of like minds.
