I think people might get enamored, and I don't know how often the feeling is mutual. Personally, I'd worry if anybody read my blog and fell in love with me. I can see somebody reading your blog and thinking that you're pretty hot, and perhaps the right person might fall in love, and maybe show up outside of your house and follow you everywhere. It might be cute if it were a puppy, but I'm not so sure if a blog is the place to do it. Then again, what could be better? If people honestly think that a bar with loud music where it's hard to get a word in is a good place to meet a life partner, I'd say a blog is a better choice. Instead of judging the blogger by what she looks like or how well she dances, there's the issue of whether she can put a few sentences together and what she's actually about. I think that's more important. Then again, guys are pretty simple creatures. It all boils down to how a person looks in a sense because guys have an anatomical on/off switch, and whether the switch is up or down has a lot to do with things. There are some bloggers who are really deep people but get tongue-tied around the opposite sex in real life. It might be easier in those cases for somebody to fall in love with that person. As for looks, if there's no photo on a blog, there's always the fantasy. Ideally, a blog should be as good or better for falling in love than anything else. A blogger could be a complete phony, just as in real life, or sincere, as in real life, or perhaps a blogger might open up on line about things that she might not say to those around her. So it's hard to say what a person is falling in love with, but that's true in real life too. The difference is that on a blog, at least the person is saying something. It's not just a crush on that guy in the front row, or that girl with the big features. posted by: JT (reply) post date: 02.20.05 (3:09 pm) It becomes the real thing when you take it offline and try to make a go of it in real life. In my case, he moved from Philly to Chicago so we could be together. He got an apartment and temped until he could find a job. When we could survive the relationship being in the same place -- without the painfully sweet romance of long distance -- we knew we were okay. posted by: JT (reply) post date: 02.20.05 (3:12 pm) Oh, and Mblog up there makes some very valid points. The reason the virtuworld worked for me and DH was simply that, in real life, we were both too shy and socially awkward to let people really get to know us. Online, we could shed our pretensions and really be ourselves as we most wanted to be. The complimentary part of that is, we're both very honest people at our cores, so there wasn't a lot of hiding and faking. So, the really important elements to us were our abilities to communicate honestly and effectively using words instead of visual cues. Which is not to say that we didn't hit a point fairly quickly where we realized we needed to exchange pictures. We ended up overnighting our pictures on the same day because we were both too panicked. It was really scary. I still remember DH's phone message when he got my pic: "Okay, so you're beautiful..." We met in person within two weeks. posted by: dangerkitty (reply) post date: 02.20.05 (3:13 pm) Reply to: JT I'm really happy for you. Talk about a story to tell your kids. :D
