XxTearGodxX Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 As a person who has met their "rs gf" I will share my 2 cents on this subject. I met my rs gf a while back on classic, we started out as friends like anyone else would and our friendship progressed. We had feelings for one another and decided to take the next step for fun to play as a couple. We quest together, skill together sometimes and enjoy each others company while playing. I see nothing wrong with it, it isn't wrong if people fall in love with someone on the game, I see it as natural for that one person maybe he or she is too shy too approach people IRL and this method is more comfortable for them.

I did something along those lines with my long term rs friend who later became rs gf, it good have someone to quest/skill with, and after playing with same person for so long it hard not to start caring about them imo we don't push our actions into everyone elses faces, and no-one pays attention to what we type normally and before the flamers come. I have a rl gf and have had many in my life, also i'm not a nerd ;) You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face. Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity...

DarkDude Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I don't what's wrong in getting to know someone through this game - I personally have met several people in this game who I've become really good friends with. Interaction between people can result in those people developing feeling for each other - it doesn't matter what this interaction is. Although I don't necessarily agree with people going out looking for a "bf/gf" but there's nothing wrong with such a relationship developing via the game.

Toad Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 its only frowned upon because of people not understanding it, i have never had a rs gf, but in rl there are dating services and you never know the person before that either.. no i havent used one of those either but people will find from life you find love in the funniest places if it makes people happy dont laugh at it i know someone who met their lover in a macdonalds so yeah.

hellbellz Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You know something's wrong with a 13 year old boy when he is looking for a girlfriend through a damn MMORPG. You don't even know wtf the "girl" looks like, and chances are, you're not going to live close enough to talk to each other at age 13. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purposely looking for a girlfriend is a lot more different than unexpectedly falling in love with a RS friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rkid Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I don't believe love is even possible unless you have heard your significant other's voice, and actually laid eyes on him/her. Those are two factors that a person would fall in love with. Including their personality, and the small things they may do, like twirl their hair when they're nervous. These aren't even possible to know if you have only met on a game, such as Runescape. Many factors must come into play, in my opinion, for the fire to be started. I believe these people that fall in love in Runescape, actually fall in love when they agree to meet and first lay eyes on one another. I may be wrong, though. Nothing is impossible I suppose, Skiittles11 P.S. W00T I'm Rat Meat now. :XD: Are you saying blind or deaf people can't be in true love since they cant see/hear their "significant other"? :shame: You said you may be wrong, and you are. EDIT: I forgot to add my contribution, here goes. I believe the people at world one Lumbridge in particular have put an awful stereotype on Runescape "dating" I don't see anything wrong with it if you want someone to accompany you in your role playing. But I do know that some couples go to houses and "do it" :roll: that's just ridiculous. So yea, Summary: I don't see anything wrong in it, its their lives as long as it doesn't progress to Runescape sex :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZimJ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I don't think this is right because you could be dating a 40 year old man for all you know. I think that would be more limited to the people that stand around spamming for a boyfriend/girlfriend. I can't see a creepy old guy befriending someone and gaining their trust over the course of years just for some online...um...you know. But, I could be wrong. In fact, I bet I am. But I just can't see them hanging around for that long when they could just go stand around and hope for someone more gullible or greedy. Now I feel like I'm the creep for thinking that way. I don't like that. #-o That said...like lots of others, I think it's okay if the people are a couple in real life, or if the relationship grows out of a friendship over time and all that. Probably because that's how it happened with me. Not on Runescape, mind you, on a forum. But that's not on topic...I don't think anything of couples on the game, unless they go extremely overboard with the lovey pet names and all that in the public chat, or unless it's a person that keeps asking everyone they meet for a date.

This is the second part: Two friends have feelings for each other so they decide to talk on the phone or set up a WebCam sesion.

My opinion is just that if you don't know a person, their personality, for real, how do you know that you are truly in love with them until you first meet. Even the blind, or deaf meet their significant other before they know they're truly in love. I don't like arguing. #-o , Skiittles11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguy9494 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've seen people do it just to get some money or items, i've seen people do it just for some laughs...but i've (sadly) also seen people do it because they can't get a girlfriend/boyfriend in real life.

vesuvius27 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 "RuneScape Love" is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. I hate going to Lumbridge and hearing all of the people saying "Looking for BF/GF." It can be unsafe if they take it too far, and it's pointless. An item made out of pixels isn't worth the risk. Some "gift" from a "BF/GF" is not important. If someone is looking for love online like that, they ought to go seek help. They shouldn't be sitting in front of the computer, and they shouldn't consider that "feelings." My Blog - Fishing 82/99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 If you look at the people who ask for somone to be there boy/girl friend, you will find out that they are under 10. How many 14 years old go around asking: "Be my gf plz" "Plz?" My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.
