To some extent, Internet helps lovers make romance. Sometimes love can even start on Internet, and it can be a strong sense of affinity. However, the love cultivated on Internet is hard to last long and finally lead to marriage. In other words, love starting on Internet can be intense and pleasant, but not realistic.
Undoubtedly with the development of social network, it becomes quite convenient for people to make friends online. Sometimes Internet surely can help to make romance. It’s true that Internet can help these shy people to express their love, and for lovers that are separate due to their work or studies, Internet is more powerful and desired to relieve their lovesickness.
However, Internet is not perfect. One reason is that people cannot see, hear or touch others directly, so sometimes people are easy to be tempted, or even cheated. There used to be a lady cyberdating with a man. After the man obtained the lady’s trust, he went to her home and robbed her house. There is also another reason dooming the difficulty of cyberdating. The most common way to transmit information on Internet is by words. When people chat on Internet, they use their imagination based on the words on the screen. Imagination sometimes can be attractive because it brings hope. However, when lovers that are familiar with each other on Internet know their lovers’ appearance in reality, hope may no longer exist, after all, Platonic love is not sensible, and most people care more about appearance than words.
In short, Internet is just a tool that helps to make romance, while reality should be where the love buds.
On the internet, the most common way to express is using words, which gives people beautiful fantasy of what's the virtual lover like. In the reality, things are not as beautiful as imagined, so I agree with you that the reality should be the place where love starts.
ReplyDeleteI agree to the idea that internet is not perfect.I think there indeed exists the possibility that love starting on internet can become true in real life.
ReplyDeleteI think so, too! ^_^
DeleteWe cannot believe in love too much, but there are still good examples of online lovers. I think treating it correctly and being cautious is most important
ReplyDeleteAgreed! ^_^
DeleteThanks, Ray. That was a nice analysis of how people can use the internet to potentially cheat others. I also really liked your final sentence--very powerful ending!
