‘I Will Love You, Like You Do’: With Inspirational Poems of Hope: About Ways of Dating Online Strangers In Love.
69Do you Know Me Really? Really!
Sadly, sometimes you have to be more of a Stranger to yourself, than to a Stranger!!
‘I Will Love You, Like You Do’: With Inspirational Poems of Hope: About Ways of Dating Online Strangers In Love; by Pearldiver, looks at the amazing changes that we have embraced and now consider to be essential to the basic process of finding relationship partners, many of whom are entities with false identities. In pursuit of love, happiness or new nightmares, it has become a social necessity to provide strangers with elements of personal information, trustingly, unwittingly, or in hope that the recipient is genuine and not an online scammer, with vastly different intent.
In the online world, there are still many frogs to kiss off and identity fraudsters to identify; before even considering developing an online profile that tells a scamming group in Ghana, Nigeria, Thailand, Eastern Europe, or a dozen other places what the make, model and registration number of your vehicle is! We are sadly, targeted for personal information, whether it is your cell number, or Skype account name! Why? Because that is the starting point for a well organized fraudster. Just as you try to protect information like the number and pin of your credit cards, all your information is valuable to phishing scammers and in the not-so-under-underworld, most of your private stuff is highly salable.
I personally think that this sad fact of life, is exactly that; a sad fact of life, that we have blindly and willingly allowed to develop, in our lives. But then, we have to embrace change and we have allow ourselves to be 'seen' as progressive... right? Well then, consider who you are once you have given up, all access to every element of your newly found transparent life! Say "No" occasionally online! In that way, you may well retain the ability to protect yourself from that increasingly tech savvy group, that really struggle with real people who stand up to them and as such, are set apart from the often foolish and gullible others!
What does all this mean to Online Dating in the hope that we can Love the Strangers? How do we Not Share the information that we feel we must share; to be accepted? Well that's another story; but in the interim, don't try so hard to be accepted and in that way, you will find that two things work for you. Firstly, you give away less private information and Secondly, those who are genuinely interested only in you, for the right reasons, will respect you far more in the long run. As in your offline life, if you treat people online, the way you wish to be treated yourself; then you will give prudence and intuition the opportunity to help guide you and your hopes. Just Give The Strange Ones The NO-thing!! Please Enjoy this poem of hope: 'I will Love You, Like You Do!' - and Take Care.

Real Lovers Know what love is for and you don't need a Pin #
* I'll Love You Like You Do *
I must love you far differently
Than I have loved others before
For others, I could be with, in many other ways
And with others, I could open up my heart to
But others loved far, far differently, than you
Must I now forget the ways of love I knew?
Now that I love you so, differently
Now that I love you online, you see
With others I could open up my arms to
But then others love, far differently, than you
Yes I’m sure I’m happy
Loving her far differently
I really look forward to all her
Raunchy, platonic links
And hiding trojans in my spam folder
I love the way she thinks
We chat all night, yet I’ve never seen her face
And she loves me, she says
Be right back and I always wait patiently...
Sometimes …. for days!
BRB... Oh great, I’m glad you’re back and we can chat again
You seem so distant lately, but then you’re five hours behind
And thanks for that awesome virus, you thought I’d never find
And my bank also told me to love you, far differently as well
Finally, put your face on web-cam, so I can tell you, to go to hell!
Online dating dictates that, we must love far differently
But I don’t want to forget the arts of loving that I know
I love real time with real lovers, only real love, truly makes me glow
Enjoy your sleazy, social network scammers and faceless crooks
I just love the reality of a real heart, that’s different in my books
We now bypass the very essence of love
Today, because we are made to love differently, it seems
Flirting with empty images, perceived to be our dreams
Now with others, FB, IP and Email addresses all count, for sure
Yet although others love differently; real lovers still ask: What is love for?
So, I must love you far differently
Than I have loved others before
Because with you, I could fall in love, in many other ways
And unlike others, you seem far more open, I hope you're true
Because no other, has loved my online alter ego, as differently, as you...

Hi Someway.. quick cab hire company huh? Thanks for beating me on reading this.. Phew! Yep.. and on that claim that I 'Hyjacked' that thread!! Amazing.. what absolute BS.. I asked the guy if he wanted a coffee and the sounds of Elephants grunting... to go with the private secretary he was asking for!! As I said to them... We are Not ALL Mushrooms!! Though being banned for what they called 'teasing' an American hubber.. really felt abit fungusy lol! It's tough being a kiwi.. when they don't understand our accent! Little NZ bullying the US again! Just like the No Nukes days!!
Anyway Someway.. best we not inject humor into serious threads.. we'll need a Pirate's Licence soon! Take Care.
LOL!....i knew it!....and i was just offering to pay for the drinks on Friday...LOL!!!!... Darn! I'm goin' back to my Pirate getup right after xmas!...and tossin' away this silly red hat of mine...doesn't go with my shades anyway! Thanks for the laugh!
Hi Someway.. Well.... if you quit the red hat and you change the way you punctuate your comments... and I take the dart out of my eye and go back to being a girl again..... we can become new personalities can't we? And how different that would be! And you are right... getting 'banned' from a public forum, for offering to buy the drinks... demonstrates one of the points I made in this article, perfectly! 'Hub-Love' huh? Wow.... some of it is just too different to appreciate... let alone Love Differently! :)
And in Reality Someway... It Really Doesn't Deserve the public mention nor the negative linking to my poetry. Take care and polish your reindeer before the big night.
Sometimes I envy the naked ranting cavemen and cavewomen who didn't have to bother with the drudgery of our modern world. The internet makes life much easier but, as you show here in this fine poem, also ruins many of our basic interactions and emotions. Well done as always, mate. Nothing like getting a trojan in the ol' spam folder! Cheers.
Hi Doug, thanks for taking the time to read this work. Maybe you are right about cavemen and their spouses; but from experience, as a resident of BumbleTown - NZ, where a great deal of cave-like personalities frequent the desolate halls of wisdom; grunting is not so cool! We are forgetting basic interaction techniques and we have abandoned many, clearly in direct response to the different and more 'modern' applications for trojans! Have a great Christmas and take care mate.
"What's Love Got to do with it?" Love is the gas for man's forays into the unknown... rationalized with bits of grunts and incantations...
Hi Dallas, thanks for reading this work and your comments. Unknown gas, grunting and incantations huh? Well you certainly have described perfectly... Love in BumbleTown mate! What has love got to do with it indeed! Have a great festive period and new year. Take Care.
I was rudely awakened by an online friend when I eventually met him in real life. And strange, he turned out to be exactly what I thought he was right at the start, before I got blinded by infatuation. Therefore I tread lightly even where angels dance.
Such an eye-opener the picture of the cat on the line. Yes, so dangerous are on-line relationships. Reality is exactly like that train coming. Oh boy, oh boy!
I finally came to the conclusion that we do indeed fall in love with the image we have in our minds of our perfect soul mate, our alter ego. Of course, with a 99% chance to get shocked out of our dreams. And yet, there are happy married couples who met each other online?
Is cyberspace really that different from reality? How many of us were rudely awakened by someone we met in reality? This was a thought provoking poem, and I also agree with your introduction. Voted UP and UP.
PS.: Too long comment, but this is my view on the issue.
Hi Martie, thank you for reading this poem and your awesome comments, which certainly were not too long! Yes, I wrote this especially to be thought provoking and to also point out that we often loose sight of what is real, to the point that we may on occasion become unreal in ourselves! I think being here has taught me to also take a great deal of notice in how others put their words together.. I think that helps you to 'read' one important part of that person's nature... Cheers Martie, you take care and be well.
I have to emphasize, Pearldriver, that we learn only one, no two, important PARTS of a person’s nature online. Definitely the core. There is no way a person can write without revealing the core of his nature, and let’s call it the well-known word, soul. A writer’s “voice”, I believe, is the voice of his soul. This is in the beginning like a baby learning how to speak – if you can remember your first writings – and it grows rapidly (with practice) how to communicate fluently. The other part is one’s attitude towards life, towards living and dying. You may think you reveal only what you want others to see, but readers can read between the lines and sense your true attitude. Now I’m thinking of a third part – one’s knowledge - to a certain extend – and oh, fourth, one’s wisdom. The latter is truly as clear as daylight in a person’s writings, and most of the time between the lines.
But this is only FOUR parts. The many others you don’t see online, and in particular those that makes one acceptable to others - manners, habits, the way you cope with reality, the way you conduct yourself, actions and reactions, addictions. This is in fact what attracts or disgust us in reality, the outer layer we need to penetrate before having the opportunity to see the soul of another person. You can also be fooled by the outer layer - many murderers look and behave like trustable people.... This is actually a complicated topic....
There is a saying: A (wo)man is not always what he does. So let’s adjust it: A (wo)man is not always what he writes.
Take care and thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts.
Hi Martie.. Interesting points that you make and I'm enjoying measuring 9.0 on this scale... if I ADD Listening and Cooking Abilities, to no addictions or negative habits, good manners, etc.. Lol... Now where did I hide my sax.... Thanks for that Martie.. You have a great xmas.
Oh, I forgot to add the fifth very important of thirty-and-eleven parts of a person we are able to see online: His/her sense of humor.
How could I’ve forgotten those very important ones you add? Oh well, between us: I’m suffering Craft’s – [Can’t Remember All Facts’nd Things.]
Enjoy X’mas and yours, Pearldiver!
Hahaha.. Of Course, But Never Admit To Suffering Anything Martie.. Be well.
Hi Rob...Let me guess...you were snookered by an online persona that turned into a horror flic without the music...
What intrigues me with online friendships is that I get to know the person from the inside out, not the usual other way round...
The poem is slapstickish and a fun read...I like to see this break in your normally dead serious Hubs that give me pause for thought...
Keep plenty of ice in the chest, my man, and keep those lines tight...Merry Christmas to you and yours, my friend...See you in 2011...Love that monkey...Larry
Hi Larry and thank you for that. No I have not had that experience at all, but know some have. Besides, when one has perfected their swerve shot, there is seldom a snooker Larry, as long as you have chalked your Cue in the first place! Mind you, I am being 'courted' by a 'phishing' party at the moment.. which is interesting as they are pretty persistent at trying to access my bait freezer!
You have a great one also mate and enjoy family time.. hope the weather is ok and you guys are well. Take Care.. and yep... I'll get some shots.... R.
wow this was a really unique idea for a poem. I really enjoyed it and I liked the font change and the "loving you far differently", how you kept that throughout the poem, yet in slightly different ways. Amazing poem here, I always enjoy your creative talent!!
Hi there erthfrend, thank you for reading this poem and your kind comments. May you never encounter the online scammers and sick puppies who prey on genuine people and monkeys! I was playing with the different ways people have become reliant on the online persona of others And themselves... Glad you enjoyed this work and cheers for your support. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year erthfrend.. you take care and be well.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy ,healthy, and prosperous New Year. This was different, I love your avatar differently, your alter ego. BRB.
Hello Sligobay, Thank you very much and all the very best to you also. BRB huh?.... You have warm festive period and as you watch the snow falling... think of us poor buggers in the Southern Hemisphere... Upside Down and well.. come to think of it.... best you don't! take Care mate!
I have often wondered how you manage 'down unda' with the blood always rushing to your heads. It would be like 'hanging about' in gravity boots 24/7. I feel sorry for all those topsy turvy lambs in your flipped fields. 'Alice through the Looking Glass' was never so inverted as you New Zealand chaps. Does the rain rise rather than fall there?
Thank you and a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year to you as well Pearldiver!
Hello again Gerry, Ha... Have you not crawled home drunk, carefully clinging to the earth, without thinking about why the clinging was so important? Of course lamb flipping has been illegal here since those gravity gumboots were invented.. so I can't really comment on that. Hope your Christmas was a good one mate.. take care.. thanks for that.
Hi erthfrend, thank you very much for your kind wishes. Have a good one and take care.
New Zealand Lamb is very popular amongst the flippin' chefs around here. The lamb chops get nicely browned on the down side and then flip themselves. My brother has seen them leap from the pan onto the plate when properly coaxed with a dollop of mint jelly. As delicious as they are, the palate is best cleansed with pineapple upside-down cake for dessert. I've heard that the population down-unda is so small because drunken New Zealanders can't get a grip on a blade of grass to keep them from falling off the planet.
I hope that your Christmas was grand. Do you put the stars at the top or bottom of your trees? LOL
Happy Newt Year!
Welcome back again Gerry.. Before they get shawn our sheep are often referred to as Woolly Jumpers... In noticing your avatar.. it seems like you are actually wearing one! If that's the case... then I suggest that you watch out that nobody dollops your chops with mint sauce mate! BTW.. My family came to NZ in 1854 from Eire and found it far easier here to continue to walk the Irish Way! And depending on how much you've drunk.. depends on whether you see where the stars on our trees go! Cheers.......... Take Care
Loved it! Happy New Years!
Hi schoolmarm, Happy New Year to You also, thank you for taking the time to read this work. I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Take Care.
An interesting problem, one of the first ways I learned how to converse was in a chat room. I think before I was done I had broken a few hearts. I tried not to but I was a kid with a goal in mind. Social experimentation was how I learned initially how to mix with people in general. Usually sorting out spammers and scammers is about making them show you there's before you show them yours. Nice poem though.
Hi Jagged Frost, thanks for taking the time to read this poem and your comments. I fear that given the absence of real face to face communications, people will become very shallow. Social skills already lack in many that I have 'met' on the net, so I can imagine how poor those skills will be in 5years time. I must be old fashioned, but what I have always enjoyed most about people is face to face real time - same room communication. You take care... sorry about that spam stalker that has been following me everywhere. Cheers
lol thats ok, if all goes well he should have to come up with another account. I never took it that seriously. Sometimes I am good in public but only one at a time. In groups I am still shight. I am not even sure how to fix that one. The thing I found instructive was that depending on how I typed, my vernacular, the subjects I brought up, and my ability to read through the BS of others, I was able to alter who and what people saw me as. This was very instructive up until I found myself and I haven't wanted to make any changes since.
Hi Jagged Frost, See that's what I was touching on in my previous post. You say "When I found myself" and relate to doing that online. I relate better to physically reading the map, you know... with the wind trying to blow it out of my hands rather than taking a Google tour. I'm happy to embrace change, but I see little benefit in giving up a strength, simply to learn the same or a diluted version of it, via a more impersonal technique... I believe that in itself is a strength most don't have.. if you take my point. Good luck either way, 'finding' is whatever we make it.. hahaha and sometimes.. some certainly are not worth the seeking! Take Care.
The funny thing is that I am not arguing your point, merely sharing my experience with the subject. I really don't expect many to share in my ideals or experiences on this subject. I didn't actually find myself online. That didn't happen until much latter and it definitely happened in person.
I am so pleased about that! I had 100 visions of 87 people 'finding themselves' online; none of them with a simple compass or AA guide hahaha... I have to laugh at this hub message and all the conversations that I've had here... I might rename it Forum... Take Care JF.
will do.
Beautiful! "no other, has loved my online alter ego, as differently, as you..." Man! If they only really knew me. God bless Pearldiver!
Hi Micky, thanks again for reading this poem on alter egos. Yes... I'm sure there are a few of us that feel that way Micky... Me included lol. Be well my friend and take care... your secret is safe as long as the monkey has control of the page....
