Do conversations on the net ever blossom into torrid romances?
Yes; it's actually not even particularly unusual. Conversations
over the net have the advantage of being a non-threatening way
to get to know someone and, sometimes, if a person has managed
to interest you through articles and/or e-mail and this person
continues to interest you when you meet for real, well, all
sorts of interesting things have been known to happen. However,
this doesn't mean that simply by posting (even if you post an
awful lot) you'll meet your dream mate; indeed, if it's obvious
that you're posting for this reason, you'll tend to turn off
most of the people who might otherwise be interested. So,
basically, if you're open to finding a mate this way, the best
thing to do is just to hang out and have a good time and if it
happens, it happens--and if it doesn't, you'll at least have
had a good time. (Strangely enough, there are even some folks
who recommend this approach to mate-finding for real life as
well.)
What about personal ads?
Don't post them on soc.singles.
Will this message ever end?
Well, it always has before.
