Internet Relationships - Real or Fantasy?
Much can be said about this topic as everyone's idea of a relationship can vary. There are feelings we have for our friends, family and then our significant others. So where would an internet relationship come into it? Can we lend our hearts to a ghost in the machine? Better yet, if we do give our hearts away, what are the consequences? Is the person we are conversing with the person they portray themselves to be? What happens if you take that alternate universe love to a different level? Do you meet with them in the real world? Will this meeting exceed or diminish our expectations? I am sure many wonderful relationships begin on the net and have fairy tale endings. Then there are some that lead to broken hearts. I suppose both parties involved need to have the same idea of where the relationship will go. Sometimes, we have greater expectations then the one we have let invade our hearts and souls. I therefore think the bounderies must be made clear from the get go. If all that is expected is a fantasy, then be honest with the other person...let them know that is all you are looking for - an escape from the norm and problems of everyday life. Sometimes, however, the fine line between reality and fantasy merge. What starts out as an infatuation of sorts becomes much greater as the lines of communication open and layers of the person's persona come to the fore. You find yourself wanting to know all about this stranger and await their yellow bubble as an indication that they are out there in cyber space awaiting your responses. Their laughter becomes intoxicating, you can almost see their smile, feel their warmth. You want to share your innermost thoughts with this person and look for their replies. No matter what goes on in your daily life, you can find comfort in the keyboard relationship. What starts out casually becomes a real attraction. The ghost occupies your thoughts from dawn till dusk, filters in your dreams and you long to be with them, to share life's wonders. You find yourself talking to them throughout the day, whether in your mind, text or phone. Does one derive pleasure from this? I think so. Unfortunately, not all net relationships can carry on beyond this point. Sometimes the real world gets in the way. So how long do we linger in this Neverland of emotions? Can we stop what our hearts feel yet our minds know its futility? I'd like to hear some ideas on this topic even if it's in a generic sense. I just wonder because for me, my heart is in this cyber world with no escape route.
You are so right Cross, there area many many things that can be said about Internet relationships. The two words, Internet and relationship are becoming the norm it seems in our society. Cyberspace is a place where you can say or do anything and many times there are no repercussions to your actions. It can be that place where your fantasy or fantasies can be brought to life. Where the person on the other end of the keyboard can help you be yourself instead of the rigid, in control person that you are expected to be in real life. It can be a place of great comfort, joy, happiness, and love. It is also a place of great pain and heartache because as you said, so many of these relationships start as simple chatting and turn into so much more and you expect the person to reciprocate your thoughts and feelings because you feel you know them even though you may never meet them.
ReplyDeleteThese relationships can lead to wonderful, meaningful events in your life but only if both parties understand what the expectations are. The ghost in the machine is always there and the doubts exist in almost everyone's mind I would imagine when it comes to really knowing if you're talking to the real person on the other end of the keyboard.
The real feelings that can develop can change the way you approach your life because you know you want to be with that person on the other end forever.
The yellow bubble of communication is a beacon of hope and happiness. Your face lights up and you know that the person you care about is out there and will listen to you no matter what is going on. The pleasure from this bubble can mean everything to someone because they know that someone cares about them. It can also mean hurt but for this post I'm focusing on the positive and the wonderful things that can develop for the Internet relationship.
I will also say that the heart and mind can play tricks on you during these relationships but I do think that if you are really trying to have a relationship on the Internet than you need to allow your heart and mind to be fully into the person on the other end. It may lead to hurt and pain but sometimes, it's a risk you have to take if you want to know how happy you can really be. Ok I'll stop hogging the blog for a while. What does everyone else think, am I off base?
So I rambled a bit yesterday because there are so many things that can be talked about here. These relationships can be everything that you've ever hoped for or they can be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. They can be so heartwarming and open that you feel like you've known the other person your whole life. They can be a relationship that fills the void in your real world. You start them as simple words to a stranger and you try to learn whether the person you're talking to is real or as real as you can make them. The talking may lead to friendship and as you start opening up with simple details you hope that the person you're talking to is really trustworthy. You hold your private details close to you and you talk about little friend things as you work to see if this person is like you. Do they like the things that you do? Is the communication open and flowing? Do they take a real interest in you or is it always about them and their problems? It's always a difficult thing to either accept or reject them as a friend if you get to this point because you have spent time with them and if appearances arent reality, you realize that you've run across one of the many bad sides of an Internet relationship. I would say that even being friends at the simplest level is a relationship because it requires you to listen, think, and respond to the other person. If you accept the person as friend there are inherently more risks to this relationship. You now move beyond the small talk of weather, work, and simple life details. You begin to let that person in slowly so they can see who you really are. You may talk about your life growing up or you may talk about your current real life so they get to know the person you are currently. You are constantly "watching" the other person to see if they can relate to you in what you think is an open an honest way. The friendship is becoming a more meaningful relationship because you are opening up about you. Yes, there are many people that have no problem sharing their entire life history with you very early on in the relationship and to them this is their comfort level. I can obviously only speak to my comfort level with these type of relationships. The friendship continues to develop and you realize that you can't wait for the "ghost" to appear on the other end. You want to talk to them about your life, your experiences, hopes, dreams..everything. You also have to be a friend and listen to them and let them know that you care and want to learn about them because a friendship can lead to the next step.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll let this post just be about friendship because to me, there are many steps that have to happen before you and the other person can be in a real relationship but it all begins here with friendship.
So today I'm a bit cynical regarding on line romance so just will start with a poem I wrote.
DeleteTHE MESSENGER
The yellow candle draws me to it's light...
I, sitting like a fool, mesmerized by it's intoxication.
It does not flicker,it does not falter...
Just comes and goes on a whim of it's own.
Will it let me feel the warmth of it's flames
Or is it's purpose just to shed a beacon in the darkest
Of my hours, when doubt encompasses my being?
All my words..All my thoughts go unspoken.
No one hears them, no one cares.
For how does one speak to a candle?
Besides, it's just a virtual image on a screen
It has no heat, no true glow.
just a candle that my breath cannot extinguish.
My word Mr Puppet that was an epic but interesting! Congratulations Lady Cross on your most thought provoking post and reflective poem. I think I will come back later with some carefully thought through comments but for now I think the answer to your question is certainly relative. For me the problem with an alternate universe and fantasy is that it can and does create alternate people. Facebook is an example of that. Recently I watched a program and people said that on FB they are 60% what are in real life. People speak, write and act online in ways they would find very hard to do in 'real life'. So real life recluses become confident and outspoken online and visa versa. I believe this filters into the online relationship to some degreee but not altogether. They can work and do work but the person in view needs to be wary that their prospective partner might not quite be all they say they are. I have friends who have met, married and are pefectly happy all though the internet. However, people close to me have had their lives turned upside down by the same medium. It's certainly a journey - how far people want to travel down it is down to them.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, Valentines day brings out the poetry in me..or is it all the Hallmark Cards? Here's another one for you..more cynical this time
ReplyDeleteTHE GHOST IN THE MACHINE
You hold me without touch..yet I am caressed within your words.
Your breath is a whisper I cannot feel..yet it softly reaches my flesh
as your words linger within my mind
while your image appears before my eyes..
Unreachable, untouchable yet so near to my body
that I shiver from your embrace.
Do your eyes hold a soul equal to your words
or are you merely a Ghost of many faces
content to hide behind a screen filling a void
for those in need of you? Or is it you in need of them?
Is your soul so dark that you betray even yourself with your prose?
Your prowess so weak that you invent another to take it's place?
You have invaded my gravity for too long a time
Your music no longer resounds within my mind...
For it is I that have become the Ghost...You have taught me well
For I have gone while you are still here.....
written by southern cross
Well Southern Cross those poems you wrote hit deep in my soul and i can feel the passion the voice that cries out within . They hit s part of us that knows love can hurt us and break us down to where we think we cant go on. Let your words shine through it for i think there is hope for us all rather it be real or the ghost in the machine. As you know its hard to find some1 that can understnad us and what we feel and how we act and let alone let someone in that seems to be a person in a machine.When we meet people on here we take a chance if they say who they are and not a lie on the other end.We can start to fall for this person and without warning we find ourselves caring for the light when it comes on and what they are doing when the light is off. We find it hard to know if what they speak is truth or lies and then one day when we think all is good it comes crashing down all around us without warning. What happens from they is one hard road to walk back through but its the only thing we can do.We either let that ghost win the battle or we stand up to the machine and say no more will i care for a machine that dosent want 2 do anything but hurt us. I think we all have found ourselves giving a peoce of our hearts to someone rather be over internet or in real that they can destroy us with just 1 word or just on no words ... I have to say i really love your poems and hope you share more with us cause they are special to me... Hope you keep the faith going and know your not alone here. hugsss tc
ReplyDeleteIs love on the net merely at a superficial level? If you stop writing to this person for months on end will they still be there? Have they thought of you? What is owing in this type of relationship? Loyalty? Daily messaging? Truth? What is really going on in their lives if they don't decide to let you know? Does it even matter?
ReplyDeleteSurely the basis of an internet relationship needs to be similiar to a 'normal' one; so if a person never writes, never speaks, never takes an interest in what you are doing then it indicates something deeper, something more serious. So, too if online the contact and interest wanes then the alarm bells ring. The problem with virtual relationships is that maybe it is far too easy to press the escape button and move on. If face to face with that person the emotions and feelings are intense and pulsating but over a computer when disagreements begin then the easy but cowardly way out is to fly the mouse up to that red x at the top right corner and press the off button.
ReplyDeleteThe other aspect to all of this is whether or not a virtual relationship is exiting parallel to another one in the real world. One single person to another single person online is certainly more straightforward.
Striking up something with someone that you have never physically laid your eyes upon prompts a lot more questions. The elements of mystery, intrigue and adventure take over and maybe replace the day the day, run of the mill, relationship 'on earth'.
I do think one thing is important - where does an online relationship lead to? Everything by necessity must lead to something. So, the online relationships in lives of people I have known have and do progress. They move onto the next level of speaking to each other, meeting each other then settling down with each other. In that sense maybe such a method is superior in that it provides a structure by which people get to know the other person in their own time.
What becomes a problem is when what is regarded as an online relationship remains just that. Does this go on forever until old age? The world is yet to see two 90 year olds who have been together for 50 years but have never met face to face.
Maybe this will be a thing for the future and if so could make for some comical viewing.
Imagine, if you will, Mr Jones in his 90's fumbling to turn on the computer, his wobbling hand trying to click explorer meanwhile Miss Green the eldery woman of 86 has been waiting so long for him to hurry up that she has peed herself and needs to get dressed. She logs off just as he logs on, he in his grumpy old age becomes so annoyed and begins to ramble away to himself, 'she's never online when I am here...probably knitting or something'...is this the future for online relationships that go no further than the click of the button?
I couldn't agree with you more on a practical level. However, today it is just as easy to end a face to face relationship with a text. Nothing is guaranteed so we just have to leave some of it to chance, luck or fate. I do believe that if something is meant to be it shall exist beyond any obstacles placed in it's path. Only those involved know the depth of their emotions. Love at any age is a blessing so if they connect in their 90's all the more power to them ..especially to have lasted that long the chemistry must be amazing. I believe I sound like a terrible romantic but isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about ? To pay homage to love.
ReplyDeleteI so agree...it can also be a sad day too even if ur with someone in real..
DeleteI think sometimes being with someone and not having certain needs met can hurt and leave you emptier than being alone. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Anonymous..please feel welcome to post with us anytime.
DeleteI knew this would be a thought provoking topic when I saw the title. I agree with both of you because as you say blackhole, everything has to lead to something. We expect the type of relationships that we have always known about to lead to something because it's what it's engrained into us growing up. The relationships of today are much different, even the ones that start with face to face contact. Cross is right in saying that relationships can easily end with a text message or even less. Many people don't value the word "relationship" as it's meant to be taken. It's used by some as an afterthought or a word that they have to use just to make their partner feel better. I do believe that a real relationship whether face to face or on the Internet can be wonderful, happy, and thrive in any environment and can overcome the challenges it takes to make them work. The words challenge and relationship are words that many people don't want to use in the same sentence. People want the easy way in and out of something so they are destined to fail no matter how hard one person tries to make it work. You have to accept the fact that love and a relationship does comes with challenges and the people that can handle these things are the ones that will thrive and love each other forever. I do believe true love exist and thrives and is a wonderful experience when two people find it with each other.
ReplyDeleteVery well said PuppetMaster. I am in total agreement with you. I often wonder though, does everything have to lead to something ? Can we not be happy in the moment, take things for what they are if not "perfect" but still rewarding ? Today we have such alternative lifestyles that perhaps an internet relationship is just another unconventional form of love. Nothing compares to face to face communication but there is merit in having happy thoughts and becoming elated when connecting with your internet partner.
DeleteSo do we resign love to a place where it never shows a face?
ReplyDeleteAnd do we allow love to promise all and then appear so small?
We have wondered whether everything leads to something
Maybe we should consider whether something is in fact nothing?
Love has never been content to rest simply in the form of words
It moves, it lives, it acts, it stirs -
The coldest heart to glow with warmth
It cries 'I will show you by my works'
Love surely must be seen as well as felt
It needs action so that icebergs can melt.
It spreads its wings across dividing lands
and drags their borders so as one they stand.
It spans across the speckled sky,
It whispers, 'for you I will happily die'
Beautiful poem blackhole and your right. Love does not rest but moves, and it needs action to prove the words it speaks.

ReplyDeleteBlackhole, that is a wonderful poem and it speaks volumes to love and what it means to people. It's very true, when you love someone that deeply you can say openly that I would die for you and your soulmate knows that you mean it. Love is a very sensitive topic. It is like politics or religion in the way that people display so much passion when they speak about it. The Internet relationship has taken what we know about love and in some ways made it better I think. This is clearly not the case for all net relationships just as in real life. It does take a special relationship to be able to move from the net to real life, I don't argue that at all. The net can allow you to really get to know the person on the other end without the worries of a traditional relationship, as an example the physical appearance. Love does need that physical desire which can develop through any kind of relationship even without that face to face interaction. Do I think that two people that love each other even if only through a online relationship can last forever? My answer is yes. Would it take both people to work harder than a face to face physical relationship, yes it would but it all comes down to love. If you love someone, you can make anything work and the barriers in front of you don't matter. There are many times that a net relationship means more to someone than having a physical, real life relationship. I do think that if your love for someone crosses any border whether real or electronic, your love will grow into a real physical relationship. It takes two people that are willing to commit to each other, no matter the circumstances. If you have that you have love it really can exist anywhere.
ReplyDeleteLove is REVELATION,ANTICIPATION,IRRITATION, COMPLICATION,COMMUNICATION....everything else is INFATUATION.
ReplyDeleteWow short, sweet and to the point. That says it all..
ReplyDeleteCross, so true. Communication is the key to the whole thing. All of those other things come with a relationship and are easily dealt with as long as there is communication. You and your "other" have to be open with your communication. It's all about trust, honesty, and respect. They all breed communication. A couple that can communicate about anything is one that will last forever. It should never have to be forced or thought about if you love the person your with. It just flows between the two of you. You really do know what your partner is thinking and feeling before they say it. It takes two to communicate and it's often the cause of problems, no matter what they are. Communication breeds love, trust, and respect. It's something that many people are not good at, no matter if it's real or online. People that can really communicate listen to everything their partner says and not just hear it, anyone can hear me and pretend they're listening but a person that loves you listens to everything you say and they can feel you no matter if they're in front of you or on the other end of a keyboard. The "me" culture we live in has eliminated real communication for most people. Today for most people it's a series of asking many times about the same topic even though they say they are listening. This in my opinion is not communication but is simply an effort to appease me. If you're going to appease me, please don't bother taking my time because I want someone that will communicate no matter what the situation. It seems so simple but communication is key to everything.
ReplyDeleteOk...I retract my post from before. You know by now, I talk a lot and I couldn't just let that go. LOL
ReplyDeleteMore to come :)
Infatuation, the easiest of emotions to develop for someone. It can happen very quickly and can be a confusing emotion for some people. They think that infatuation makes up for or even means love. It is just a human emotion that comes from a bond that you form with someone. I make it sound simple and I know its not but it is completely different than love. Infatuation is a feeling that makes your senses go nuts thinking about the other person and you can't wait to talk to them no matter what time of day or night it is. It gets confused with love because infatuation to me is a physical emotion that can, in a very few cases, lead to love but it is not love at all. The person that experiences infatuation with their partner whether real or electronic, has to have the ability to understand that it's not love and again I think that's where so many people have issues with relationships. They confuse infatuation with love and they can never get past it. They eventually lose that infatuation with the other person and things simply break down and the relationship ends. Infatuation is healthy and necessary for love to grow between two people but its a small part of a much larger love with your partner.
ReplyDeleteSeems all comments inspire me to write a poem so here goes...spur of the moment and all....
DeleteTHE ROSE AND THE OAK
Infatuation is like a rose
You anxiously await it's bloom...
To linger upon it's beauty.
While inhaling it's intoxicating scent
Feel the softness of it's petals
Under your gentle finger tips
As you marvel at it's movement in the wind.
When it fades and begins to wither
You move on to yet another blossom
Once again, waiting patiently
For it's pulchritude to entice you..
Feeding it, watering. watching it daily
Until it unfolds itself to you naked in its beauty.
Then as the petals brown, it's scent fades,
You remove it from it stem,
Toss it to the ground and await the new bud
That soon will replace it.
Love, on the other hand...
Is that Giant oak,hardly fragrant
Nor so colorful as the rose..
But with roots that withstand
The strongest winds,fiercest rains
The harshest climates and possible neglect.
Despite it all, it flourishes, continues
Skyward reaching new heights and survives.
Given the chance, which would you rather be?
best poem so far, says a lot in descriptive way....certainly one to read time and time again :)
DeleteThank you for sharing that poem and it hits home to me and all that love can be and has been i guess... When we do try and find someone to share our love with we take the chance of being hurt and its a chance we have to take. If we dont take any chances then we will grow up old and alone without ever knowing what we were meant to be.If you are afraid of even looking for someone or love than what is the point of being here?? Yes you can find good friends and peeps to talk to but i feel eveyone needs that chance to Love with all there heart and soul.. If you stay back and dont look cause u are afraid of being hurt then you may just be alone rest of your life and like a hermet which is no real life.. Why not take a chance on love when you can share all that you are with some1 and they can share it back with you. Yes we hit alot of bumps in the road we call love and our hearst do break but with everything in time we heal.When you fall and break bones do you not heal?? Its the way we were designed that when we hurt in time we can heal.. When you talk about real or internet love cant you find it to be real on the internet?? Yes thriough meeting someone on here you can form a differnt kind of love that is not about looks but about you soul and heart.. It happens and i guess i am a lost romatic that we all have someone that will love us for who we are someday. well again cross i loved your poem and thanks for sharing it with us..
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post wolffman. You are so right in taking chances because otherwise you can let life pass you bye..creating many regrets later on. Wondering, if I took this road instead of that what would the consequences have been ? Everyone has different reasons sometimes for holding back.. not taking that leap of faith. Meanwhile, time marches on and sometimes it is all we have..more important then the materialistic things in life.
ReplyDeleteThe road ahead for those that are willing to take chances can be a wonderful place. There are always many forks along the way but without taking chances, you never really live. There will always be regret I think, wondering how much better life could've been if you fail to take the fork in the road. The people that simply follow the "crowd" may live a happy life but in my humble opinion, taking chances is why we are here. You won't know what life is without taking chances.
ReplyDeleteToday i wonder if any road is the "road well taken" or do they just branch off in different directions only to lead to the same destination? I feel like I am blindfolded unsure which path is the correct one to follow. Seems they are all so rocky and bumpy and cause you to stumble..
ReplyDeleteWell Cross you definitely make a good point because no matter which road you choose, there will be bumps along the way and sometimes worse than bumps but I'm the type that always wants to know what's at the end so I would keep going even when another fork in the road pops up because it's bound to happen. I think that we are given what we can handle no matter what the situation is. The couples that accomplish the life long love that most people search for are the ones that realize that there will be bumps along the way but they will overcome them because their love is stronger than any outside influence.
ReplyDeleteIt's like poker...you have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them..hanging on to a hopeless unrequited love is an emotional out of control roller coaster.
ReplyDeleteIf the road sign promises one destination but deep down you just know its wrong then you either double check it or take another route.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's too cryptic and im just tired :)
Not cryptic at all..just truthful and honest
ReplyDeleteReal life or on the internet, men are looking for sex and women are looking for love.If your heart is beating out of control, don't mistake it for love, it's just insecurity.It's our natural instinct of fight or flight.Once you realize this , your better off. Have fun, there is no prince charming, we are all broken.Look for a friend , then it may turn to love.Lust is addicting but it sure is fun. This is by anonymous but was placed as a comment under the wrong topic.
ReplyDeleteThank you anon for taking the time to comment on our blog..I had to laugh at this as I'm sure most people would agree with you although it is totally unromantic but speaks of truth.
DeleteAnon, as cross said while not romantic you definitely speak the truth. The lust piece of the internet is always the easiest but with any luck you'll find a real friend and that friendship will turn to love. There are good people out there, don't lose faith. You'll find the one you're looking for when you least expect it.
Deletesorry , new to the net, posted incorrectly
ReplyDeleteNo apologies necessary anon. We are not experts by any stretch. We just enjoy writing and discussing topics so please feel free to share your thoughts with us.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought for this cross person, Perhaps one should be happy with what they have. Not question the right or wrong. Stop wondering on the what if's and be happy with the "what" she has found. The poems are wonderful. Cross, continue to write your poems, but leave out all the rest.
ReplyDeleteYou're right you could be happy with what you have and "what" you've found. There are always what ifs in life though. You may have something but that doesn't mean you're happy with it. To just settle because you have something doesn't make for a happy life. It's simply an existence. People are afraid to try for something better because it will be hard and take work. Yes..it will take both of those but for those that want or need more than what they have, its worth it because they can find that one person that can truly make them happy. People get burned every day on internet relationships, you'll get no argument from me on that and these types of relationships don't work for everyone. People's expectations are different or the person you thought you knew turns out to be someone you would never want to be with. The infatuation that you felt disappears or the love you thought you had turns out to be nothing more than a disguise for someone to hide behind. I completely disagree when you say leave out all the rest because I'm not the type of person that just settles because it's easy or convenient. I'm the dreamer that knows that there is that perfect someone out there for me. You learn from all of your experiences whether in real life or online and you pick yourself up and push ahead because you know it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteCross, the poems are wonderful without a doubt. Keep writing them and everything else that you do.
Well guys I think a new post beckons us...the comments on this one have been more than interesting so thankyou Cross for the post. Certainly the subject is impossible to exhaust and there is no definitive answer to that question of course.
ReplyDeleteWithout wanting to personlise it all too much I do agree with PM's last comment and especially the last part - we shouldnt be told what to and what not to write on this blog; so leave nothing out...well unless it involves any anti british attacks lol. Talking of poems methinks that a section on Valentines Day influenced poetry lies ahead of us. It will give those who are interested an opportunity to blog poems which they have penned. If you feel uncomfortable with posting a poem with your name under it then just sign in as anon. Watch this space!
Ok getting my romantic energy in gear and will post a new poem later on. My morning has already been blessed and I am enticed to write driven by intense feelings and a quickening of my heart.
ReplyDeleteTHE ENCOUNTER
ReplyDeleteFrom the very beginning..we always knew
we couldn't be and yet knew we had to.
How do you love someone you can't touch
before you feel the whisper of their breath
lingering upon your skin? and yet we did
knowing we couldn't, knowing we shouldn't.
Leading our separate lives
that only enhanced the distance between us
and the hours turned to days
and the days became years.
So much lost, so much gained.
I came to you once... to inhale your breath
draw it into my body and carry it with me forever.
It now feeds my oxygen with your soul, your being
nourishing my blood.. pumping through my veins.
I have taken you inside of me
we are now one.
Well have again been touched by your poem and has hit a cord within me again.i know i dont write alot just hard sometimes to open up and express what i feel inside since i have kept it to myself for so long .You all have said some good points and i have enjoyed reading what is on peeps minds and it always nice to hear what others think. It is not all true than all men want one thing there are some good ones left that still want to be loved and in love rather than just looking for sex.There are alot on both sides that look for that maybe as i was younger and dumber i didnt know exactly what i wanted or needed but i will say it does take us men longer to see things. Its nice to hear how you all over the pond think about certian things and but a differnt light on topics so am glad i was asked to join here. This is the 1st blog i have ever been on and only one i go to so thanks for starting it. hope i get the courage to open up mpre with you all . tc have a good night or day..
