• I'm guessing by "true love" you mean the romantic kind. I believe that romantic love is required to not just be platonic. If you guys never met, then you would only love the idea you have in your mind of the other person. And there is soooo much about them, that you'll never know. People underestimate how true and important the saying "smell each other" really is. Also, online, even in video chat, you don't properly get most non-verbal communication.

    So, yes, true romantic love can start on the internet, but it can never remain there.

    No, I don't think you can fall for a person you know online, you're falling for an incomplete idea. Maybe you can fall for their character, at least the parts you can see online. But it's not complete, it's not real real. We are human. We are not just mind or spirit. In fact our body is what gives meaning to what we do. Don't underestimate that. So I'd "recommend" falling after you've actually met :joy:... I know we can't control this, we'll still fall anyways... But keep in mind that what you have is not complete...


  • I feel like I have to add something here. Recently I was confronted with the (to me quite strange) experience of a spiritual connection... So... maybe, just maybe... it is possible to recognize a soulmate without having to meet them... to know they are the one / a friend for life...

    However I still believe that for real romantic love, after recognizing, has to come meeting in person...

    And you might want to brace yourself for a disappointment too, because it remains possible that you were mistaken, even if you felt sooooooo sure. It's never easy with these things, and the worst part is, you can only learn from experience. So, don't get yourself in any kind of dangerous situation just because you think you have a spiritual connection with somebody over the internet. Never turn off your head!


  • @PetrAPark3r agree with you


  • @PetrAPark3r You've hit the nail on the head, good lady, better than I could. I've never before heard that one should smell one's partner (in that context!); I completely get it though as I have long said that true intimacy and connection comes from "breathing" one another - one inhales as the other exhales, life flowing between you.

    When I say this to a partner and she looks at me like I'm mad, I know there is an incompatibility on a troubling level.


  • @Matt_Aranha wow! that's really deep. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom


  • @Lurker thanks Miss Lurker! Nice insight and thanks for sharing a bit about your experience as well


  • @PetrAPark3r oh woow! that really hit deep! I'd rather fall after meeting the person in real life too.. Thanks so much!

    As far as I can tell, there is no way to do this without an external transmitter, a rather surprising omission by manufacturers. Plenty of audio receivers have built-in Bluetooth receivers; this is a frequent question on Amazon for these models via https://chooserator.com/best-av-receiver-under-500 .
