Well, I cannot speak of a virtual love as I have never experienced anything like that. I can speak from my own experiences though. The rules of.the 5 languages I spoke of still apply, as love is interpreted differently by different people. Mainly it comes down to expectations and wether you are getting the attention and satisfaction through the internet or on person, the feelings are the same. I have loved women who have not loved me in return, at least not the way I need and expect. I also have had women try to demonstrate their love for me and I did not feel the same way for them. I have yet to feel love for somebody else and them for me and that is why I am on this website I suppose. I can tell you this much, over the years and mainly when I was younger. I would play online video games with random strangers. Some of them becoming my friends, some of those friendships became strong. To this day I still keep in contact with some of them and have even visited many of them in different areas. So if a strong friendship can develop from merely communicating while playing video games, then somebody could also develop some feelings of love for somebody. Although, I think that true love would be more difficult without meeting somebody in person and understanding all aspects of who they are at least.
