When we meet someone in real life our intuition gives us an instant YES or NO on the person.

When we meet someone on the net our intuition can't say anything and by the time we meet in real life out intuition is false because we have already built up a picture of them from chatting online SO we cannot trust ourselves and our intuition!!!

it's exactly what my Saturn return is about, going through my 5th house:

"Initially, you may feel unloved, and perhaps somewhat neglected or ignored. As you learn the lessons of this transit, you should learn to love yourself and take pride in yourself. Looking outside of yourself for "ego strokes" (whether through romance or other such "applause") may prove to be fruitless. You will learn through the course of this transit to depend on yourself and to take pride in yourself for what you really are, not only how others see you."

I have dated many people that I have found on the Internet who have many good aspects to my chart: Jupiter conjunctions, Venus trines, and beneficial Moon conjunctions to my Sun, Moon, or Venus. Furthermore, their charts seemed to be mostly benign with little or no difficult Mars, Uranus, or Pluto aspects; Saturn was also placed nicely.

Unfortunately, Internet dating is great only for learning information about the other person, not for seeing the other person's actual habits or modes of living in reality. As many have already said, Internet dating is mainly the refuge of those with problems that pose significant, if not impossible, hurdles to a successful relationship than merely shyness.

Lara: You are absolutely right about one's intuition and the Internet, the latter shuts the former down. This is especially bad for Water-dominated people like myself, but then the Internet is the domain of Air anyway.

Wouldn't say that. Tried it myself and would try it again if I found myself in similar circumstances. There's nothing wrong with me. There were impossible hurdles to my meeting anybody but they weren't due to me being a psycho or an axe-murderer or anything. I was new to a new town and didn't have a social network.

People have their different reasons for trying it. Some are not bad.

I agree with you.

Well maybe I'm a weirdo or hypersensitive to people's vibes, because I get that feeling from people even on the net.

My own example:
I once met a guy online.
Well, my FIRST impression on him online was that of: "Nah, something`s not quite right, at least not for me", but we often tend to forget our first impressions.

However, it turned out that we were basically living only about 30 kilometres from each other. Actually he is / was living in the village, I had spent my childhood.

Well, we didn`t have some kind of romantic attraction or something like that; just a genuine interest in astrology, at least that`s what I thought. Even though looking back I must say, our talks DID take a somewhat flirtative turn.

We then proceedede to have long phonecalls. Like 3 or 4 hours a day or a night.

However, we then decided to meet (to exchange some books, pretty harmless all of that).

We met, and something happened that had never happened so CLEARLY to me before. I could hear all alarm signals shrill in my head and literally see a little figure inside me waving a red flag, with the letters BEWARE. LOL

I was actually taken aback by that strange reaction of mine, but I really really had a very BAD feeling about this guy, or maybe not so much him, but about a connection of what kind ever between him and me.

So I said goodbye pretty quickly and went home.
I hadn`t even gone a few hundred metres, when he called me on my mobile, making some - of course astrologically related - remark about my "beautiful wild and curly hair". Aha.

Well, I decided to cut off every contact with him quickly.
I still wondering why I suddenly felt the very insisting urge to distance myself from him as soon as possible, as he had never done anything bad to me.
But I just sensed some sort of danger around him. I don`t know. Maybe irrational, but I still believe it was the right thing to do, even though probably also unfair towards him.

Well, I never know if I just overreacted. BUT I just had that weird knot in my stomach, you know?

However, I would NEVER have felt this alone from connecting with him online. There is so much missing from online contact. (in most cases at least; there are exceptions I know).

That was your SOul trying to advise you,through your intuition.

The Soul knows best - so that is why everybdy says to listen to it carefully,even if our heard and Mind tells us otherwise.

I`ve sometimes ignored it and regretted it. It was always right. Even though in some cases not listening to it led me to precious learning experiences (well, the result was precious, the process was painful though).

First impressions are really important. At least if you can hear that little voice saying in your head: "Oh no.", you should listen to it.

as for the magnetic atraction. his pluto square your moon, no wonder he has power over you.

as for online dating...everything is a risk. of course, online allows people to reveal more of themselves before being physical. what happen if you meet someobody in a bar, you may end up having sex at the 3-4 date? and even sooner and you talk less, so you get to know the person after the sex. instead with online dating you explore other things, talk more because you have no choice...lol

this is an advantage, but also a disavantage. you cannot see how this person is with other. how for instances behave with a waitress of if he has a quick temper when in the traffic. what you get for the person is what this person tells you, but you are not there. you are not a witness. you build a type of world that is real but is not the day to day of a person. actually is the scape of the day to day. so until you meet him in person try not to have too much expectations. try his voice. if you dont like his voice run away.... the voice tends to be very revealing.

you dont need to give him your name. just try skype with a pseudonim name.
