Have you ever made the mistake of falling in "lush love?"
I.E. falling in love over the internet (or over lush) and agreed to meet them in person?
Curious to see who all this has happened to.

Nobody is truly who they say they are in real life, ore more accurately, can live up to what you make them in your imagination.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Wilful
I've crushed hard on a few of the lovely women here on Lush, and for a different roll of the dice, I may have attempted meeting them. But by no means have I fallen in love with anyone online.
I learned pretty early on during some cyber dating back in the day that getting invested online was a waste of time. Nobody is truly who they say they are in real life, ore more accurately, can live up to what you make them in your imagination.

I've formed some pretty intense online relationships. I love hard by nature. I have to admit, that's never been a "goal". I truly think that makes a difference. They were or are valued friendships earned--generally over time. I've met a few people from Lush. I've fallen in love with and I'm still loving a few Lushies. Not everything here is about sex or pursuing it, and love encompasses a lot. I don't consider my "relationships" mistakes--regardless of their individual depth.

why would it be a mistake?

Quote by sweetsinnerSweetsinner...very well said. It's hard to not get "attached" to some here as the mind plays games with me, then reality sinks in.
It certainly takes you by surprise and can be challenging. It's just something that fits some personalities and not others.
I'd never call any kind of relationship a mistake... Like ABG mentioned (I think) I have a lot of love to give to people. I do crush hard and fast. In fact, so much so I once said that on my profile Now I just say that I am mushy af. I'm not looking for anything here, but sometimes people surprise you. I've made connections here with people that I have few of in real life. That's the beauty of transcontinental communication - you certainly are more likely to meet people that you can relate to or communicate with in especially enchanting ways.
Besides that, and on a purely scientific note, anybody that engages in any physical / sexual related online play regularly with another person is exposed to the chemical insanity that influences those feelings of love, as oxytocin and dopamine are both experienced during periods of closeness and/or orgasm. That doesn't have to be in an exclusively tangible context, so it has some sense of inevitablity in a scientific sense.
