    Interesting quesion. I am embarrassed to admit this but:

    I fell in love with a woman in Russia, of all places. Belarus. It was a total disaster!

    It turned out all she wanted (turned out to be common, but I did not think of it at the time) was to get married so she could get out of Russia. Then she would have divorced me soon after if we had married.

    It took me about $15,000 in plane fares and gifts and 6 months of my life to find that out. At least I found it out in time. I felt so stupid.

    In the year 2000 I fell in love with someone 4000 miles away in the States over the internet. We talked and emailed a lot and I brought a plane ticket after giving up my job and saving all the money I could and flew to Chicago to meet this person for a first date.Somehow I managed to put my whole life into this meeting ! Expectations were so high things happened but 11 days later reality came crashing back down when she said she didnt have the same feelings as I and I couldnt stay anyway because of my visa.
    I remember calling her at the airport several times but it made no difference - it was over.
    It broke my heart and it took 14 months to heal from this painful, yet beautiful and teaching experience.
    It is worth remembering that you are not actually falling in love with the person online, but rather you are falling in love with the idea of being in love with this person, for one cannot really fall in love with someone if you have not met them.

    I can't say I have fallen in love with someone on the other side of the world.

    But I do have affections for them.

    I met the love of my life almost four years ago online. He wasn't on the other side of the planet, but we were in different countries. It's been one obstacle after another.

    Yes, I fell in love with a professional writer/author from England, whose picture I never saw. His words were so wonderful and we wrote multi-page e-mails every day. Nothing dirty, just getting to know each other. Then I went out to England to meet him and poof, the fireworks totally went out. We just weren't compatible in person, only in e-mail. But it was an interesting experience, and I still write to him once in a blue moon.

    eeeh wasnt love i dont think. awhile back i was talkin to a soldier in iraq for about a year or longer online, while he was stationed over there. when he came home we ended up dating for a few months, but he had a hard time dealing with things so we went our seperate ways. now a year later, and me having a boyfriend, he has been contacting me tellin me how he wishes he could go back and change things. and wants to try again if my boyfriend and idont work out. dont know what he is up to or anything but oh well. thats my story.

    oh yeah i also dated another guy i met offline, but we had some of the same friends (in real life) but he turned out to be abusive and one night flipped out and choked me and threw me around and spit in my face. after that i havent dated anyone from online.

    Back before I found out what true love is. And how true love is way better when it's mutual.

    yes i have and it is the hardest thing to so but if u give each other time and patience to LEARN to love each other and OVERCOME any obstacle... then u can make it. Get to know the other person well enough to know if he or she is right for you. It takes a certain type of special people to be able to do this... not everyone is fit for it. It has been a year since I met my other half, who by the way, still lives in the other side of the world... literally the other side, crossing the Atlantic ocean and all!

    Yes, I have we met online about 5 years ago. He was from New Zealand. We both were teachers and hit it off quickly. We e-mailed everyday. We shared all are intermost details. I fell for him hard. We talked about me moving and he told me about jobs at his school. We chatted quite a bit. However due to distance and time I guess, he no longer could do the relationship. My heart was broken. I just recently found out he had married and is expecting a child. I must admit I still have a little bit of sadness about what never could be.

    Not the other side of the globe, but halfway across the country. It might as well have been tho, I never met them in person. I feel so happy for people they fly out and even marry their lovers but I just wish it could have happened for me.
