    Is it possible to meet someone on here and form a strong relationship with a member of the opposite sex. No, I don't think this is a dating site and no, this is not my first post. This is a second account I made just to ask this question and to hide my true identity. I ask because I think I maybe falling for one of my mfp friends and I think they feel the same.

    As long as you keep yourself safe when meeting this person it is fine. However, saying that you think you are falling for this person is silly. You only are seeing them at their best, when they have the time to consider what they are typing and such. I wouldn't even consider those feelings true love until you have been seeing them for quite a while.

    I'm not sure. I send out lots of junk pics but the girls ignore it. I mean, I'm just trying to give them an idea of what I have to offer before we get married.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I started taking them from the side. Much better response percentage. Good luck man!

    You have something against meeting someone online. Its 2014. Times changes from traditional dating. Unfortunate for me long distance sucks so hopefully this person lives close to you. Some people do the long distance thing fine. I cannot and will not.
    agree with all of this, especially the long distance part. been there, done that, no thank you.

    OP, keep in mind internet personas differ from real life vastly in many cases. if you do end up pursuing this keep in mind you may end up disappointed

    Don't entirely agree with that. I'm the same on here as i am in RL. take me as you find me, don't like me phut, I wont lose any sleep over it. Still stand by my first statement. Nah not on here.
    you think so, but what you say online has no tone to put it into perspective, you have all the time in the world to come up with a witty or informative, well thought out answer when irl if you're thinking silently for more than 3 seconds when it comes time to talk you look like a fool.

    also i said many, not all. surely some people are the same irl (i personally try to talk online as i would irl) but you never know until meeting them

    I don't think you can find an actual relationship from this site, more of just a hook up site!

    I met my boyfriend online, on a different (not dating) website. 5 years later we're still together, but still long distance.

    You should talk to this person. If it doesn't pan out, it doesn't pan out.

    Of course it's "possible," but as with any relationship, it's also possible that it will be a catastrophe.

    I've seen both successful and unsuccessful relationships evolve from friendships on this site.

    ETA: Re-read OP and saw the second account part. I thought you said "no I didn't just start a second account."

    Sure, it's possible.
  • you are aware that its against guidelines to create a second account for any reason, right?

    You'll never know what sort of relationship might be possible with this person until you talk to them about it.

    How many times do I have to tell you to stop stalking me!!!!
  • You couldn't have been on this site for more than 7 days. No one falls that fast. Especially online.

    I've seen both successful and unsuccessful relationships evolve from friendships on this site. But... not that damn fast!

    in the OP, she/he states they created a second account just to ask this question.

    Yes, I read it wrong. I missed a punctuation.

    Please I already have like 2 dozen crushes on guys AND girls here. Well, cyber mini crushes that will lead to nothing but it's fun to admire.

    Do you really mean if it possible if one, or both, of you is married?

    I definitely think you can make a bond with someone over the net, it's the meeting in person that will let you know if the bond is true and strong. I dated a guy a long time ago that I met after he called me by mistake. He dialed the wrong number, got me, we started to talk and 2 hours later he had my phone number. We talked more and more and eventually met up. We dated for over a year. Anything is possible.

    It's possible, been there done that, but it ultimately didn't work out. I have people on my FL that met here and are currently in a relationship and another couple that got married not too long ago.

    So what you're saying is, you're technically single? Sup girl.

    It depends. I met my boyfriend online, and we've been together for 4 years and are very compatible. However, I also met 2 of my exes online. The big difference between my current and my exes is that they were long distance and he was local. LDR's don't work.

    <---- Met this guy, who lives 10 miles away from me, on MFP.


    The odds are more likely you'll fall for someone half way around the world and struggle with the whole long distance thing instead of finding Mr./Miss Right just down the road. But you never know.

    Also, junk pics and boobs really increase your odds for love.

    Not always the case. Just the case for you...

    Very broad brush you're using there. I have someone on my FL who married her LDR and they were from different countries.

    If you live close enough to meet in person go have coffee and see how it goes.

    It's possible to meet someone online and fall in love, then have a lasting relationship offline.

    I met my boyfriend online, the first time we met is the first time we moved in together; over seven years later, we're still together.

    LDR's don't work.

    Psh... maybe not for you... I met my husband (not online though) and then we had an LDR for 3 years because we were going to two different schools... did we have problems, sure... but obviously we made up for it as we are married and have been for 6 years now. LDR's work if you want it to....


    anyway... OP listen to NIKE.

    Coffee or "coffee"? Either one works imo.

    On here? Trust me my friend. Be very careful. You'll be the one that gets hurt.

    I hope, for your hearts sake, I'm wrong!
