The Development of Romantic Relationships Online

What type of person do you think that Alexis is and how did these influence their online relationship her ability to fall in love.

I think that Alexis came across in the article as a very endearing and normal person. I think that there are often stereotpyes associated with people who find love online, but Alexis was very easy to relate to. I think that this is soooo important to not only why she fell in love and made a deep connection with Craig, but also with how I viewed their story. I was rooting for things to work out for her. Even though I can never imagine doing the things that she did, such as just entering a random chat room, or meeting someone in NYC, she made those things seem perfectly normal and acceptable because they were all done in the name of love.

I think that Alexis came across as a very caring person, who was just looking for her equal. She didn't seem as concerned with appearance and the most important thing for her was the ability to carry an inteligent conversation with someone. For this type of person, an online meeting is perfect, because there is less of a tendency to become distracted by other factors. She was able to get to know Craig and his views on life in a none threatening and non judgemental way. I was happy that she found love and I hope that they are still together. I feel this way, because of how she told her story and because she came across as a genuinely nice person in the interview.
