① Thanks to the late 20th century technology, Maria of Denmark and Martijin of Holland met on a chatline. For months they've talked and nt letters to each other?with the help of their computers as they?found themlves falling head over heels in love. It was then that?they decided to meet in the real, not only the virtual, world. It was not easy to arrange as the young man and his lady were parated by 700 very real kilometers, but t
he date was a success and Maria and Martijn have been living together happily?iscsiever since. They've created a home page to let the world know how they've found?happiness?via?the Internet and introduce couples who've met?under similar circumstances.
② Throughout history men and women had ud?a variety of means?to find each other. Internet romance, according to some, is a bizarre method, and to others it is a natural way for?shillsthe 90's?to meet?potential mates.

"Love at?first byte" is rare although there are examples. (1)The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms, are generally followed by increasingly lf-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive each other as a true friend.?Hearts open and an avalanche of e-mail cross cyberspace carrying literary quality, and electronic messages are even enhanced with vers and virtual gifts (flowers, kiss, animated pict
ures). Could any heart with romantic inclinations resistchink? (2)When you reach for the mou with sweaty palms 尺子的英语and butterflies in the stomach to look in the in-box for new mail - there's just no way to escape prologthe fact - love has arrived.
cockblock④ How does a cyber romance vary from a real life romance? Perhaps one significant difference is that communication plays such a large part. Words that convey feelings have enormous effect. (3)While before a real date we fix our hair and our clothes, on the internet we polish our intellect, imagination and personality.?(4)In esnce, the quence is reverd - first we show our inner beauty and only after it had won victory does the veil fall off the physical vehicle of that personality at the time of that first meeting in person.
⑤ It is a popular topic in cyberspace to debate whether or not true love can develop merely on an?intellectual level（智力方面，精神方面，即"精神恋爱"）, without physical attraction or the?familiarity?of the other's appearance? (5)To put it another way: is the physical appearance of the man or woman play a part in the relationship if, through the exchange of thoughts and feelings, they already fell in love?
