love isn't about looks its clockwork if the mechanism works well with them like they click. I'm not experienced at the subject but I have basic ideas.

How do you ever know short of an admission or catching them in the act? A person who has been "hurt enough" might do well to, at a minimum, have a relationship face to face. That this person is over the Internet probably feels safer, but it can be easier to be fooled.

Thats true, but she's like "I DO love you" and all that, I hope he isn't being cheated on cause your right it's easy to be cheated on

Try to be the voice of reason...Internet relationships are rarely what they seem... They leave lots of room to project hopes and dreams into the netherworld without a reality check

People can get emotionally connected over the internet. Do not underestimate the potential. I suggest that they meet each other in person before there is alot more time vested. People can be honest and can be dishonest. I have seen some shows recently that have shared some stories where people have been fooled but I have a friend who found her hubby on the net.

if things work between you guys and you feel what she feels and you understand her love is something we can't control just ask your heart if you are in love in your mind and heart you know its real.(I'm not gay not if there's anything wrong with that)
