I have read so many opinions on Internet romances, they all seem so wonderful and you often wonder if they really exist or are they too good to be true??
Well here is my own little story…
A few months ago I started talking to a fellow ... ...I already knew I sort of liked him but wasn’t sure if it would come to anything.

Well here is my own little story…
A few months ago I started talking to a fellow Ciao,Dooyoo member on chat at first, we just chatted generally, I already knew I sort of liked him but wasn’t sure if it would come to anything. We then chatted more and more, again at this time I liked him but he had no feelings that way for me, just friends. The chats became longer and more deeper over the weeks, sometimes till 3 or 4 am, we talked about everything and it became easier to chat too, it somehow felt comfortable and I felt I could tell him anything, things I had never told anyone before even.
At this stage he began to admit he had started to have feelings for me too, we both trusted each other and started to enjoy chatting too much!! We then decided to chat on the phone. Believe me this sounds easy but the first time we chatted I was a total wreck, a bag of nerves, worse even!! However I needn’t have worried it went so well, we chatted for 2 hours in the end and it felt great!
Lots more chats and phone calls to follow and we became closer and closer. I was by this time pretty sure how I felt about him and thought that I loved him, but can you love someone you have never met? it seems strange but that is the way I felt .
So we decided to arrange to meet up * gulp…I live quite a long way away, so I had to travel down by train and stop with him and his family. This was even scarier. Strange house etc..my nerves were in shreds. All I kept thinking was, what If I go down and he doesn’t feel the same way about me?? , It all worried me a lot!
That was then, I went down this week on Wednesday, and all the way down on the train I was a wreck. I didn’t know how the hell I was going to get off at the other end and finally come face to face. I can only say that it is the most terrifying feeling, you just cant explain it!!
However I did get off the train, still panicking but I had to do it…your probably wondering why there’s no name of this person, well if you read to the end I might tell you!!
So we came face to face, the person Id been chatting to for months. The first few minutes felt a little awkward but he was just as I expected him to be, cute!!!
We went back to the house and yes it was still a little weird but after a short while we just sort of looked at each other and I knew that he liked me too, so felt more comfortable, this then led to our first physical contact. We cuddled and kissed and it just felt right. Too right! It was as if we’d known each other for years, not the few minutes in real life.
Suddenly it all becomes reality and you realise that you are actually in love with each other after all. Which does take you by surprise, we spent the rest of the day doing things that you do, just wrapped in our own little world…and the night too.."It all went off well, and it wasn't long before we felt like a couple - everything felt just right" , well more than right!
The next day was a lot easier, we were now an item so felt totally comfortable being together, we went shopping then out for a meal, then back home for more..erm whatever The thing here is that it all happens so fast, and although you sort of expect it, it still takes you by surprise you go from having a computer relationship to something real and very intense overnight, its hard to come to terms with!! So it was time for me to go home. Which was yesterday…after waking up together I knew I didn’t want to leave him, I wanted to stay with him but I couldn’t and that hurt more than anything. Goodbyes were not easy. And yes I did cry!
Being home alone was weird…I miss him like crazy and we chatted on the comp and on the phone when I got back, but its not the same. However he is missing me just as much, so now I feel a bit better…All we can think about is when we will be back together again…awwww!!!
So I really think you can fall in love with someone on the internet, I’ve proved it and it does work, but there are still a lot of things you should be careful about…be sure you know the person before you go rushing off to meet them, make sure they are genuine and not some psycho. Above all else make sure friends, family know where you are going and meet up in a public place first to be on the safe side I didn’t really follow these too strictly because the person in question is so well known at ciao and Dooyoo and I knew he was who he said he was and trusted him, but this is an exceptional case. So always be careful. So you all want to know who he is then???…Right it is Jason…better known to you lot as EnglishPatient!!…And all I can say is I love him to bits ..Ciao all I can say is Thankyou :)
Advantages: Not all people are murderer's, some nice people out there Disadvantages: Be very careful
...in the 'relationships' category, but Virgin.net wasn't listed there.
It's quite a long story, so grab a coffee. Guys, if you don't like reading lovey-dovey stuff, leave now, otherwise sit quietly and don't leave any silly comments, such as 'puke'.
(The bits I don’t want you to know about are marked with the word FADE, like you were watching a play). If you have read my opinion about Great Western Railways and Virgin trains, you will know ... ...chat rooms! It was the virgin.net chat rooms, and he signed in under my name. As he started talking to someone, I was running behind him like a headless chicken, screaming: “you can’t say that, they think it’s me”. That was my first taste of the Internet. After that, it was plain sailing. I made friends with both male and female chatters, and after a while someone told me about ICQ. I downloaded this messaging program from ...

Advantages: Filters out bad language. Disadvantages: Empty rooms defeating the object of a chat service.
Virgins "NEW" chat rooms are up and running with big changes to the old service I was familiar with. I'd mainly like to point out both services (the old one is still running until the end of February) and compare the two.
PAST:
I started visiting some of the Virgin chat rooms back in December, initially being impressed with the number of users, friendly chat and huge range of themed rooms. No matter what time of the day you logged onto Virgin chat, ... ...200 users, with chat moderaters always at hand (operators who control chat rooms, with the ability to warn/ban users for bad behaviour). To start using chat, you could either download their software or log on through mIRC/pIRCh etc. The Virgin software was easy to use, with the chat more or less in real time. I became a regular in the "VFriendlyV" room which was fun and easy going. Well, at least it was until people started to take the whole chat ...

Advantages: Well laid out, good choice of chat rooms Disadvantages: Cliquey nature in some rooms
...constructed and easy to navigate. Virgin.net has many cool features including regular features on films, music, travel, electronic greetings and celebrity discussion forums where the Virgin boss or luminaries from music or stage offer their online opinions on a whole range of topics. And of course there are the chat rooms...
I would rate Virgin.net chat amongst the top 5 chat zones I have encountered as they are well regulated, cater for all tastes, ... ...corectness it is always the unrestricted language of the Adult XXX room is always packed to the rafters. Some of the rooms are very cliquey and you'll certainly need to brush up on your chat room speak if you are to feel in any way a part of the conversation.I only use the chat rooms after a night at the pub on the weekends- always entertaining for a bit of anonymous banter or flirting at the end of the night. You must download the Virgin software ...

At a glance you can tell this is a professional website, just by the colours, the advertising and even the menus!
When you visit the site, the first thing that hits you is the colour, in fact the first thing i thought was RED!
There are loads of things just on the homepage alone, including:Live it, Buy it, Find it,Visit it,Free Internet access and Services.
The servies include: My account, Customer services, Newsletters and Contact us.

i really hate this chatroom because it is so hard to use. if they want to have a chat room, they need to make it more organised so that the chat rooms available are displayed clearly. when you enter the chat room itself, the presentation is terrible. its hard to see who has written the message, and what you have written. you can chat one to one with another person but it is so tacky and horrible, id rather not. i certainly do not recommend this to ...
