Love of Her Virtual Friend
Love of Her Virtual Friend
Do you believe that you can become a virtual lover?
I
wonder if you have ever imagined falling in love with someone on line! I appreciate that there are many dating websites where people do go with the intention of finding a partner before meeting and falling in love.
Is it possible though I wonder, to meet someone by chance, through HubPages for example and begin communications that would eventually lead to a virtual love?
Can we really fall in love with someone in Cyperspace? Is it possible to fall in love with someone's words so much that feelings become aroused despite not knowing their true identity, not knowing their real appearance, the sound of their voice or their age?
I wonder if it really is possible to transcend through the computer screen and fall in love with a virtual friend?
Love of Her Virtual Friend
She feels that love across the screen
No-one around and yet unseen
She knows you care
She feels your love
Through your words, your tenderness
She is under your spell
With such emotion she cannot tell
For since she first touched base
Something magical was taking place
She had feelings for her virtual man
Even though they’d only met online
He was unique with inner strength
And clearly had a heart of gold
This relationship was about to unfold
He wrote with such perfection
And totally won her affection
His words filled her with intrigue
She wanted to delve more
To reveal this romantic man
Can she be in love for certain
With such a virtual person
She feels as though her heart’s on fire
This man she really does desire
They have never met as such
But she knows him well enough
To trust her instincts for this man
How can she feel such emotion
For her, he’s like a magic potion
Her heart’s completely aroused
Like smouldering embers espoused
She needs to know it’s not too late
To let him know her feelings
Started to arouse from the beginning
The touch of the keyboard I guess
Was the time she knew it would progress
Let’s watch this space as events unfold
An amazing story will be told
She will reveal this journey of hers
As it continues igniting from his words
So perfect, so convincing, so complete
His words reveal he is very intense
Can they continue with complete innocence?

Thanks Vinaya, it's easy to fall in love virtually .... isn't it?!!
I have often been in love with a virtual friend. Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts.

Xstatic - thank you.
Really well-done. I can relate as well.

Dream On what an awesome, detailed comment. Thank you so very much. I agree, totally with everything that you have said. Love is such a challenging experience and it can be very difficult on line. Equally it is difficult when we completely know the person. Love will dedinitely win through though, I know that for absolute sure!!!
When I first read your hub I absolutely believed it to be true.When you connect you fall for the words the person speaks.You feel a closeness you never felt before.Then again are they who they say they are?There are many people who meet face to face and in time fall out of love for so many reasons.So I guess it is no different here on the internet.Love from a distance that stays virtual maybe the best way to go.You have fun until one day one of you disappears.Then the lost lover is replaced by another person who sounds dear.Love is challanging enough for me to keep one person happy all the time when I see them every day.I can't imagine when you don't.Good luck to those who can make it happen.What a wonderful hub and all the fantasic comments.

I am so glad this hub changed your perception Snigdha.S! Yes there are definitely some crooks on the Internet. All I can say is be very, very wary. The virtual person is often completely different in reality. Great comments - thank you so much.
Brilliant Hub. I know many people who are always chatting and fall for every other person without knowing much about them. You handled the subject so well that i sincerely felt that Love can happen in the purest form online. Just read WE's Hub on a similar subject. Appreciate your imagination. I would be more critical I think, as I have observed some of my friends fooling with their virtual friends. There was an Old man,he used to chat with a girl regularly,she fell for him and asked for his picture.He sent his son's picture and when she decided to come down to meet him he made excuses and then stopped chatting with her. I loved this Poem. Changed my perception.

Oh wow thank you - will check her work out.
Yes I believe it is possible. It is a way to get out of reality here on HP and there are so many nice people you can empathise with and they become your good friends. I am sure relationships have and will continue to blossom.Are you familiar with my friend mamadrama.hubpages.com? Her work is similar to your's and I am sure she would like your work. Tell her I sent you and let me know how you both get on. Follow her and I am sure she will follow back. She is rrrrreally nice.She will love your work!

Ah thank you KoffeeKlatch GIt is easy to write about love when one loves and is loved, and I am happy to say that I daily experience both!
acaetnna, I kow when I read your hub I will always find a beautiful piece full of love. Younever disapoint.

Vocalcoach - what a simply wonderful comment from you - thank you SO very much. I so agree with your words 'When we have pure love in our hearts for one another, I believe we fall in love, again and again'. Totally true. I hope that I have spread a little love and light around. We certainly ALL deserve to have some!
This is such a beautiful and loving hub - like you - absolutely just like you. How could anyone that connects with you through the internet, help but fall in love? YOU are love. When we have pure love in our hearts for one another, I believe we fall in love, again and again. Having said that - we know that different types of love exist. An example of this would be our loving hub family right here on hubpages. Thank you, dear friend, for filling each one of us with your love and light!

Plarson I completely agree with you. I understand completely how your fiancée fell in love with your voice. The correct tone of voice is SO important and can be so sexy and romantic. I did the same; fell hook, line and sinker in love with my husband initially because of his amazing voice. I am still completely in love with it today and when he has to go away he calls me everyday and I go completely weak at the knees. Thanks Paul for your visit and of course your comment.
Ace- Reading printed words online is much like reading a book. The reader tends to form the words into what their imagination carries them off to. This being said, it also has the same purpose as any other first impression. If it gets your attention, then you'll want a closer look. Online convo's lead to phone convo's that lead to in person meetings etc.... I met my fiance thru an online radio show. She feel in love with my voice, then decided to email me and ask me questions and stuff. Ok, it was the voice that got her attention, the wit, humor and poetic heart "finished" the job lol. -Paul

Cathy I couldn't agree with you more. I think one has a gut feeling even in Cyberspace to know when someone is being genuine or not.
I love your terminology of Netizens rather than Citizens, and yes as we venture into the unknown through our computer screens we do need to adapt to new rules especially with regards to safety.
I enjoyed writing this and love reading all the comments that my poem stimulated.
Great to see you here and leaving such detailed comments as always. Thank you Cathy.
Love for a virtual friend is a great topic for a poem, and yes, I know people who have found love that way. I even know some in Hub Pages too. Heh. If it is possible for a thing to happen and the chemistry is right, and the personalities work, then yes it can happen.
I agree that people have to be careful, as it is the internet. When I came across the word "sock puppet" on Hubs, I was mortified. And that word puts fear and sometimes other things into people's minds. But there are real people on hubs too, and knowing the difference to me is crucial. Maybe explaining gut instinct is too hard to explain here, but it does help and factors into my way of thinking.
As we all become more like Netizens than Citizens, we have to learn new habits and adapt to new rules. And always be vigilant too. But I am happy for all the people who have ever found happiness and love and romance with another person via the internet. It is a beautiful thing. :D

Katie you always talk so much sense. I so appreciate your wisdom on this subject. You are right it is a trend on the rise and I know of many happy relationships that have progressed after meeting on line. Thanks for awesome comments Katie.
You right, so right, if you go into it knowing all the potential in it for people to lie then take the precautions, you might meet someone wonderful. He and I both thought, hmmmmm, but it turned out okay.
Plus, take your time, we were epals for a very long time. I felt he'd get tired and move on giving up on all the e correspondence and yet he did not. This was a good thing and built a lot of trust between us.
This is a great poem about virtual friends and a trend I think on the rise. To be forewarned is a good thing :) Katie

Yes Sofs I totally agree that love is an attitude of the heart. Your definition 'feeling of happiness, security, trust, purity, understanding and the desire to keep on giving no matter what', is totally perfect.Thank you so much for your insightful comment.
Love!? I am always intrigued with the concept. Virtual or not, love is an attitude of the heart. Love has different dimensions but the common thread is the feeling of happiness, security, trust, purity, understanding and the desire to keep on giving no matter what. This is how love feels to me.. lovely poem there. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Minnetonka Twin I am so pleased you loved this poem, that means a great deal to me.
I know many who have found love, on-line. Like everyone else though, you just listen to your gut and be safe. Other than that, I loved this poem and you reflecting on the possiblity of findiing love online.

Schoolgirlforreal - thanks for your in put. Good luck!
Hi acaetnna,
I see you have.
I do think it's possible but risky.
As in, I have for more than one, and been dissappointed. :( Unfortunately they were both too busy...
- Author
Bbnix how awesome, I so agree with you. It seems quite a family here at Hubpages and I have met so many virtual people here in Cyberspace. Indeed Bella, Randy and Vietnam have experienced the ultimate - how simply wonderful. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
- Author
Thank you so much Warm_whispers, I very much appreciate your comment.
Wow. A very interesting hub and comments. I liked your poem too.
You have quite the gamut of responses here, and I find the success stories by several, including Bella and Randy, with vietnamvet's story especially notable, all quite wonderful...
Personally, I think the hubs are a wonderful place to get to know people. Caution is always prudent in all cases, virtual or not, so I don't think that's really the main point here.
You are quite the initiator - nice job!!!
As the river whisper the jogging cool the morning smell paint the sun with golden shining from the branches of your eye lash this your words .. love to read for you

Lady_E thank you so much. I'll try to keep you posted on what happens next!! That's great you're going to tweet one of my poems - I am clueless about that but guess you'll enlighten me. I so appreciate your visit and comment - thank you.

Peaceful life you are great and I so love your visits. Thank you.
This is cute and unique - Virtual friend.
I look forward to knowing what happens next.
Your articles are so sweet, I will actually tweet one of them in a few minutes. Let me go digging. I'll put a note on it. :)

Randy that is truly awesome, wonderful. I really did believe that it would be possible to fall in love on HubPages and to know that you actually have is so exciting.One can definitely get a better feel for what a person is really like once you have listened to their voice many times. Brilliant - good luck for the future.
hey beautiful woman. you have a beautiful heart with full of love...this page is so sweet. i love this hub..keep it up..i love your sweet heart..take care:)
I met my current boyfriend on hubpages by accident. I used his photograph, he followed the link back to say thank you. I had posted a self portrait of his abs for "Its Raining Men - hubmob" and I embarrassingly nicknamed him lickable guy on that hub. It started as email chit chat and quickly became crazy good. Its almost been two years now. He moved 800 miles to be with me... so yep it can happen.
p.s. we skyped for a month before we ever had a date, he was him and I was, well the rest of me.

SilverGenes thank you for your concern. I totally agree that a person can be totally the opposite in Cyberspace, they can pretend to be someone they are not. I just thought it was an interesting concept, so hence my poem. Many thanks for your visit and welcome comment.
Your poetry captures that wonderful feeling so well! Many people have met their love online but there is the other side of the coin, too. One can 'be' anything or anyone on here. What seems to be a loving, romantic person can in truth be quite the opposite. Please be careful. I hope you are 100% correct about him :)

I agree Mentalist Acer, love is a totally ingenious invention and I so hope that everyone experiences these pleasures.
I know Dear Freya has met here on HubPages,so has Lxxy and K@ri,love is an ingenious invention that has the Internet beat for sure.;)

No fixed formula exists for true love, I totally agree Roman Trend. I appreciate your comments, thank you.

Oh wow MartieCoetser I'll be holding my thumbs for you and wishing you luck and love on 6th April, how absolutely exciting. I hope you'll keep me posted - please! I was really just speculating whether it was possible to completely fall in love with a virtual friend.
- Author
Freya thank you for your insightful comment. Yes with modern technology the world is our oyster. Lovely to see you here again, thank you as always.
Once again I'm late for one of the love queen's parties. I have a busy week and by the time I show up, everybody and their brother has been here, left, showed up again, and danced the night away before crashing out in one of your guest rooms. Your hubs always inspire fine comments as we haggle about our visions of love. Well done indeed. Peace.
The parties directly involved are free to define love, friendship and desire to suit their tastes. No fixed formula exists for true romance, whether online or in the physical world.
One can certainly fall in love online, but the relationship has to move on into reality, where it can end like any normal relationsship, or continue into marriage. My first online love in the beginning of 2010 proved himself as a complete con-artist in reality - I tolerated him for only 55 days. My second love online is the man of my dreams - I know via webcamera and hours of talking. He'll be with me in reality on 6 April and I can't wait to love him to pieces :)))))
Hello, dear. Everything is possible. When technology become more advance, why human way in making connection can't move forward too? With all gagdets available today; video chat for example, distance no longer the biggest problem for people to meet their special someone. But yes, it is risky and we all need to be very catious because con artist is everywhere. Still, even never meet in person yet, I believe love will never less real if we are lucky to find one, because even after meeting the person 100 times, sometimes we still able to easily get fraud by the one we think we love but turned out just another con artist. Online just the way they meet. Love still the same if it is real. Beautiful, dear. As Always. ^_^ Me and Mr. Story Teller had meet online and we love each other still. :)

Thanks Daydreamer - so many of us on HubPages communicate so much and each person becomes our special friend.

Thanks PR Morgan.
This is certainly something we to think about. I like you way you presented this. Well done!
Good question...maybe, who knows? Great hub!

Thanks Website Examiner indeed I have.

Prasetio my special virtual friend, thank you. It is incredible isn't it how we manage to make such amazing friends in Cyberspace. I always appreciate your comments and I love to read your amazing hubs. See you soon - take care.
You did it again. I met many virtual friends here, including you. I love them very much. I hope our friendship is never end and always on fire. Rated up. Cheers...

Thank you Website Examiner. Each and every person is special and of course deserves a personal response from me. I appreciate your comment very much, thank you.
....'and that for me was the simple and pure joy of reading your poetic love at first sight' ....... lol lol lol - and yes 'love' sometimes gets in the way of poor grammar - lol lol lol
........well you have cured me my sweet love doctor with just the right prescription - TLC !!!!!
Tender Loving Care - which are the poetic ingredients in which you always put into each one of your poems - and that for me - was the simple pure joy at reading 'love' at first sight!!
Acaetnna, just wanted to let you know that beyond the poem itself, I am impressed with how well you respond to comments. You have a lot of respect for your readers, as they do for you.

How wonderful Kim, yes we often forget that the internet is rather recent technology. How wonderful to have fallen in love on the phone, actually I too have had a friend who fell in love that way. I am so sorry he didn't call you back years later but maybe he had moved on and changed his phone number. Maybe fate will play it's hand and you will meet again in the most perfect time of your life.
Thank you so much for your comment and I am so pleased that we met here on line.

I totally agree with you Saddlewriter, true love gradually happens, it needs to be entrenched on strong foundations if it is to succeed. I certainly agree that true long lasting love reaches beyond lust. When true love is experienced it is the most wonderful feeling and I am so lucky to be experiencing that love right now. My true love and I are definitely best friends and we love everything about each other.
Thank you so much for your comments Saddlewriter I always so appreciate them from you.
- Author
Many thanks for your comment Jackie.
Before all of this wonderful technology I fell for a guy over the phone. He listened to every word and remebered everthing we talked about. When we finally met face to face it was WOW! nothing ever happened between us but he would say or do something that told me he wanted to. Years went on and he got a job in Tennessee. Lost touch but called him 2 yrs back and he never returned my call like i never existed in his life.
Yes I truly believe it is possible to meet online, the falling in love is gradual over time, once you both meet will determine the true connection, all humans are connected, yet so many of us equate lust to love.
TRUE LASTING LOVE reaches beyond lust and if you can become BEST friends and accept each others weaknesse's you are off to a fine start. I enjoyed meeting some ladies for dates online, nothing really materialized, why? because we were not soulmates.
However I believe we all have one waiting there, we just have to await our destiny. I know you have found yours by the way you write about your lover. Hugs to you.
Wow, a lot of interest here...I'd just look out for the poet is all. lol.

Thank you Nighthag I am pleased you enjoyed it.

That's awesome Katie and I am so pleased that it all worked out so brilliantly for you. I know some people pretend to be others on line but if one is in contact long enough on line then surely they do eventually see the genuine person through their writing. I love it when you come to visit and I so love going to your amazing hubs too. Love to you Katie, Acaetnna x
A wonderful love story that I totally enjoyed, I hope it works out for her
I have a confession, I met my bf online, we spent years getting to know each other. It grew FAST as we connected quickly and it grew and grew and then one day we met... Been together since. This is a wonderful poem near and dear to my heart. Your so deep and intouch with true feelings of love and relationships. You are our official dear Acae. Much Love to YOU! :) KATIE

Cheeky Girl you are absolutely right we so have to trust our feelings. I do think that women are so good at that - they always go with their gut instinct and tend to trust their feelings.
- Author
Thanks Thougtforce I agree with you I would want to meet a person for real, but here I was just wondering if one could have a cyber relationship that would develop into love without actually meeting them for real.

Your forefinger is a great virtual friend - I would highly recommend that as a friend. Many thanks for your comments Gus.

Attemptedhumour of course I wont tell anyone else about us - it's our secret!!! I am so pleased to see you here and thanks for your comment.

Neeleshkulkarni, thank you I totally agree.

Thanks Michael, yes it is amazing how words can mean so much and one can try to find out a great deal about a person from the words they use. I appreciate your visit, thank you
Yes, it is possible to find someone and have feelings for them, we have to trust our instincts and go with our gut feelings. I am all for being sensible and weighing up things carefully too. Nobody wants their heart broken. But love is a risk online and offline too.
We all risk something by falling in love. But the rewards can be so worth it. Great hub!
I think it is possible since so many people do meet their love one online. As for myself I don’t really know if I could fall in love online. I have never used Internet that way but I think I want to meet the person in real first.
Anyway, you have done a great hub and presented this with warmth and feeling! Tina
Howdy acaetnna - There are times when I find it difficult to simply sit here and enjoy reading stuff (like this fine hub). So I guess I might as well be my usual nonsense-self and tell you that I fell in love with my very own virtual friend - my forefinger (the one that hits the keyboard where I want it to hit.)
Gus :-)))
Well this is a good idea, well carried through and not beyond the realms of possibility. It's nice to see you step sideways, so keep it going. You never know where you will end up next. PS Don't tell the other hubbers about us though, they'll only get jealous.
like any other place the ent can only be a starting point for a relationship and from there it can go anywhere.
falling in love only when met on the net is definitely falling in love dictated by our own thoughts and needs since no love is possible till you have judged a person completely.
Really like this acaetnna. I think you've captured a feeling in this poem. People can get start to like people just by the words that they write. It's fascinating in a way that even just in words written down people can decide if they like or dislike a person or want to keep reading and getting to know more about them.
Great Hub. Michael.

Twilight Lawns thank you for the warning. I simply wrote the poem because I thought a cyber romance would be an interesting concept. I always appreciate your care and heart felt comments, they are always gratefully received, thank you again.

Many thanks Eiddwen, lovely to receive a comment and visit from you. I must pop over to you for more recipes soon, they are delicious.

Kashmir my belief is that no one is too old to fall in love. Go for it!! Thank you so much for your visit and comment, I always appreciate it.

Always Exploring I agree totally if I had any intention myself of physically meeting someone I would need to look them straight in the eye. Even a virtual romance one has to adhere to caution. I always love you coming to read my poetry, thank you.
Acaetnna, I have said it many times, and I say it again. If this applied to you, you would be in there up to your waist, because you are the most romantic, optimistic person. Not everybody is like you, my dear. I would be most way of someone who could write lovely phrases that could capture your soul in a noose of silk and honey. You, as I have said, are romantic and optimistic, and that is exactly what the predator seeks. Let him look elsewhere to find the cynic, because there are many out there. Pessimism may be hard to take, but it is a protection from evil and those who would ensnare.
- Author
Ghaelach hello there. Yes I do agree with you about caution as I have explained in some of my comments above.
I do appreciate the fact that you have mentioned that you have missed my poems, that is so lovely of you. Thank you so much for your visit and comments. I shall be over to visit you as soon as I am able.
- Author
B.Malin thank you. Yes I appreciate one should always be cautious. I do know that people use different guises and claim to be someone they are perhaps not. My poem was simply posing a question! Thank you for your much appreciated comments.
- Author
Deni thank you. You are right the intention was to have a cyber romance. It is so interesting to read people's comments about this type of romance, many have inferred that I meant on line dating, but that was certainly not my intention!
I always appreciate the time you take to visit and comment on my poetry, thank you so much.
- Author
W.K.Hayes you always write so romantically and speak from your heart. I love reading your hubs and I adore receiving delightful comments from you. I so appreciate your visit, thank you.

Shygirl yes I guess it does, I love the movie 'You've Got Mail'. It is so possible to fall in love with someone's words, they can reveal so much of a person. Thanks for your visit Shygirl.
- Author
Pamela thank you. Yes I agree if someone was to physically meet someone they should exert extreme caution initially. Also I guess even if one has no intention of ever meeting a virtual friend they should not share personal details on line. I am often very surprised by how much information people reveal on Facebook, one should be very careful in my opinion.
I always appreciate your time Pamela, thank you so much.
- Author
Thank you Website Examiner I really do appreciate your comments. I agree my poem was nothing to do with dating. My intention was to pose a question: 'Is it possible to fall in love on line?' The possibility of having a virtual relationship, completely falling in love, not necessarily with the intention of ever meeting! I guess most people when speaking of love relationships beginning on line, think of ultimately physically meeting that person for a date. I so always appreciate your comments, they make perfect sense.
A great poem acaetnna,
Like most others I would be weary of someone I had met online, but then these relationships do very often work. All I would advice someone to do would be " Be very careful."
Thank for sharing this one with us.
Brilliant as always.
Take care
Eiddwen.
Hi acaetnna great hub, I think it might be great for some people but it's just not for me, i guess I'm just to old school when it comes to falling in love !
Awesome and vote up !!!
Hey, Vet said that he fell in love on line, so it can happen. Your words are sweet and romantic. I feel that i have to look someone in the eyes, then tread slowly.
Cheers
Hi Acaetnna.
Nice to see you and one of your beautiful poems again. I know one dosen't need to write every day but your poems are missed.
Cyber Love, can it really happen. Well, with a lot of you girls it seems yes, you fall in love with this mussel man off the internet that has treated you like Princess Diana for the last 12 months, you get married to the guy you thought you new only to find he's got a Jeckel and Hide character. But this is nothing new and your heart won't believe he's a no good. It can happen as we have seen from VV68 16 years(congrat's) but I would think the word Caution must be stamped on your heart.
An interesting subject though. lol
Ghaelach
Interesting Thoughts and Poem, but Caution, Caution, Caution! Is this really that person's picture, and what is the History of him, behind what he writes? I think one could also be walking a dangerous path...On the other hand, can you fall in love on line? I'm sure it happens everyday...but Caution to the wind!
