Singles (or not so singles lol) do meet there match sometimes in Sl. So not only the negative side is there but also the positive side of it all.

But thank you Zippora and Cindy for sharing the link.<BR/>You are right, Zippora, there is so much to write about this topic, but at the end, the conclusions will remain the same, try not to mix SL with RL. <BR/>Probably some of us are blogging just to share and to find other bloggers with the same perception of SL, or just to have that social contact with others and sharing their thoughts about common things, which is known and recognizable by everyone.<BR/>Tymmerie, I am glad to hear that you, and Zippora as well, knows that RL is your priority. <BR/>Don't you worry about your readers, they love your stories (look at the number of your daily visitors)<BR/>But the main reason why I was concerned is that I have seen already RL relationships go down the drain due to Second Life, and I don't wish that to happen to SL friends of mine. But as I already said on your blog, I am happy for the both of you. Congrats again!!;))Looker Lumethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06689216250840379922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622818752419928461.post-84817316839236073252008-03-20T02:10:00.000+01:002008-03-20T02:10:00.000+01:00Looker - now I understand your question to me! I u...Looker - now I understand your question to me! I understand your concern. I assure you that both Jerremy and I have very healthy real lives. I have a wonderful family and wonderful friends in RL who keep me grounded in reality. I have made many true friends in SL and Jerremy is one of them. The true friendship is very real and very strong. But we both understand where the game ends and reality begins. We both remind each other that RL is our priority and we take breaks from SL. We know it is our SL avatars getting married - not the RL people we are. I write about my SLife in my blog...it is inevitable that some SL "personal" things creep into it. I have actually learned about my RL self and things about healthy relationships while in SL that make my RL relationships even better. I hope that people do not mind hearing about that part of my SL story - it colors my perceptions of SL and would come through in my writing even if I did not ever intentionally reveal anything about my SLife.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913918080960117471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622818752419928461.post-18571600768516197532008-03-19T21:52:00.000+01:002008-03-19T21:52:00.000+01:00Looker: you can view the story of the woman and he...Looker: you can view the story of the woman and her British lover in four parts on YouTube.

I've said it before on my own blog: for me blogging is also a way to structure my thoughts about the whole thing. <BR/>But why public? Possibly to find people who feel the same? Or is it just a weird kind of exhibitionism? ;-)<BR/>Anyway, even though I share some quite personal thoughts, I always try to keep out private details, like names and specific incidents. That's not always easy. Posts like the one you were referring to, usually cost me 3 or 4 days of writing, thinking, deleting, rewriting and editing. So thank you for your nice comment :)<BR/>There's so much to say about this topic, I could write a whole post about it. Maybe I still should do that, as I was already thinking something similar like you, concerning some blogs I've read recently (and sorry for taking over here :P)<BR/><BR/>One more thing: the BBC documentary you are referring to is also on YouTube (split up in 4 parts). The first is <A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=PniWHuv9Xko" REL="nofollow">here</A>. And I was actually quite impressed after seeing it, indeed.Zippora Zabelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426309981952581453noreply@blogger.com
