Love and Hate Online i dont know what to say except that your article really hits home.

somthing like this just recently happened with me too though not a romance with an anonymous person but someone who i had known nearly 4 yrs ago. we started chatting randomly and emailing each other nearly 40 - 50 mails a day... and spoke of everything under the sun....and the issue of marriage came up and we kinda settled it to cuz he said that he wanted to come and meet my parents as he was intereseted...

anyway to cut a long story short he kept delaying it.... this whole relationship went on for 10 months....and then when i told him i was comig to his part of the world...i think he kinda panicked...BIG time!

and the whole relationship was passed of as a figment of my imagination... :)

so I IMAGINED his proposal, his saying that he wanted to come and meet my parents, IMAGINED all the emails that he`d been sending for all these months, the telephone conversations...EVERYTHING!!

anyway...thought your email interesting and hence decided to send my story in too.. :)

so all i can say to everyone out there is BE CAREFUL! am not saying dont get into relationships...am just saying even if u DO know the person that does not guarantee ANYTHING! the person can still very easily take u for a ride!
