I met someone in person, but communicated with him a lot over the net. It really deepened our understanding of each other. From the writings, we could see the values that the other holds. Sometimes, speech is confusing.

Sometimes people wish to believe that they have they same values you do, especially if they're attracted to you. If they're lying to themselves too, you often can't tell it from their body language. I am clearer in writing than in speech, in fact, in person I am rather quiet and shy.

And sometimes it is a struggle to keep any relationship going and still know who you are. That has nothing to do with internet or non-internet.

You are more likely to find love that's deep, if you are not desperate about it. If you can be happy by yourself, doing your own thing. Maybe you are still lonely, but you are ok with that. Then you can meet another person as an equal, but different, human being.

And sometimes love doesn't last. If it was a deep love once, it's still love.

If you are desperate, work on enjoying yourself for who you are, because nobody really wants someone who's desperate to be saved from their own company.
