There are lot of instances that a heart skips a beat when a person sees the love of his life passing by; or instances when two strangers who met for the first time instantly feel the connection or the tension between themselves; or circumstances where lovers who feel that the whole world is against that they are willing to fight to the very end; or even experiences that after a heartbreak, an “angel” suddenly knocked on the door about to save the “distressed” lover from utter depression. These may be coined by hopeful and fanatical lovers as Mr. Cupid actively at work and saving the day for them.

Traditionally, a cupid shoots his arrow to two hearts which are physically together at the same time and at the same place. But does Mr. Cupid exist in the virtual world? Are his bow and arrow useful to people who barely know each other and are worlds apart? Well, when it comes to love- why not?

There are good testimonies by individuals who ended up in a happy marriage after meeting their partners in some dating sites. We cannot discard the possibility of meeting the best person for you anywhere and in whatever method. Cupid might have also upgraded himself to keep up with the dynamic and highly industrialized society. He may have changed his bow and arrows to blue tooth and satellite networks.

With lovers meeting online, one cannot deny the fact that the heart knows no bound, and Mr. Cupid does still work whenever and whichever. The only difference with online dating to the traditional one is the physical presence. But both do involve the feeling of caring and being cared for. There are times when lovers who were together physically for a longest period of time did not make it through. In contrast those who met quickly made their relationships last for the longest time possible. Online dating is not different from these.

To others who are apprehensive that it does work, the following thoughts might change your perspective nonetheless:

1. Mr. Cupid is a symbol for lovers who want to endlessly become hopeful that they find the right partner. They get lovers to think that if a Cupid is at work then they are into the right track. Symbols or myth, as long as two lovers click it is safe to assume that Mr. Cupid flew over them or better yet was responsible of site trafficking. When two interested people meet, the story to deepen their friendship has become their natural responsibility. All mature lovers know for a fact that to make a relationship work both parties should be capable of giving and taking un-selflessly. Constant communication does the trick.

2. Infatuation is a natural phenomenon. There are people built to feel certain connections with specific people. When this take place, most often than not, people think that Mr. Cupid is around. This can exactly happen even in online dating. Just a click of the mouse, a sensing person will know from his or her gut feeling that he or she can go along with the person he or she met online. They will soon realize that they have so many things in common. Their discussions have become sincere and genuine. Then they finally realize that they can’t go on with a day without talking or having a chat with that “special” person that has become a mystery to them as well.

3. Establishing good relationships is part of human needs. Other individuals resort to online dating because they want a wider range of contacts. They might also have been unsuccessful looking for a mutual partner in their own limited community. Online dating provides one million of choices from different places and varied cultural background, which makes it more exciting and interesting. Chances are the people registered in a specific site are also hopeful to meet the right person just the same. The sites only provide an avenue where people could meet at a more convenient time possible and at the same the time the farthest place possible.

Love holds no rule. It encompasses differences and limitations from both parties. It is not even the people who influence love but the affection itself overpowers them. Traditional dating and online dating have the same motive in allowing relationships to flourish. Either way, partners who are involved need not suppress their feelings. The best thing they can do is to get what they have been expecting in a relationship and to make most of who they have.

Attraction does not choose a place or a time or a method. Others even experience seeing the man and woman that they are meant to spend the rest of their lives with in their dreams. So computers and virtual realities is not a strange place for love to take place. Cupids may be mythical but being attracted to people is not. It can take place beyond the strangest place and time possible.
