Is virtual love a true love?

Online dating is becoming largely acceptable today as people become more comfortable with using computers for communication. E-mail, chatting, and social sites have increased the comfort level of talking with each other online. The relationships, which we make on these media calls, virtual relationships. Further, if we do love someone in this virtual environment it’s a virtual love. In virtual world we love only to a profile, always not to a real person.

In this case we could be any person which we want to be. In here, all the physical facts are not important, such as occupation, education, physical attraction or you name it. We could love several people simultaneously without any problem at all. Here we have lots of freedom to do love.

But the question is this a real love? In one hand, love is spiritual rather than physical; hence one could say, “This may a real love”. But without even touch the other person, could we imagine a real love? Yes of course…in the real world though we love a real person and even we could touch them, still it may not a true love. So what’s the difference?

So I believe, though it’s a physical or virtual, true love is still depending on our mind. What do you think?
