Very interesting subject. Personally, I don't think net romance is a good idea.😉
From what I have seen in the "real" world, even while ur dating a person realistically (like not on the net), it's still different if u decide to spend ur life with the same person, toh net toh dur ki baat hai.
For instance, like how many hrs in a day do u spend with ur boyfrnd or girlfrnd?? 2, 4 , 6, 10?? It's still a lotttttttttttttttttttttttt different staying 24 hrs under the same roof (ie, if ur tht serious & plan to marry).
I've seen couples dating for 4-6 yrs & then getting married, thinking they know the person really well, but it's sooo different after marriage. It's not just one gender, but both, coz we're humans..Our families would be our best judge, since we stay with them, day & night, no matter how much u think u know ur bf/gf inside out & trust them. It's still different.
On the othr hand, net romance is completely off the charts for me. It's like u ask urself how much can u know a person even though u chat every single day for 4, 5 6 hrs???
Personally, so many times have I edited my statements right on this forum, it's like I wanna say something else, but I might end up typing something else, thinking about it might hurt someone. But, I'm a lil different realistically. I might appear very sweet, caring & helpful on the forum, but I might not be the same. It might not be tht I do it intentionally, but it just happens, coz I have the option of always goin back & editing my posts & thinking 10 times before I type, it might not be the same realistically. U must jus say things or do stuff, without thinking about it.
So, it's not that a person would lie or play around on purpose just for time pass, but it's just human nature. We wanna always put our best foot forward, and the other person might always take it for face value.
Therefore, in my opinion, net romance is a total NO NO. 😊
