Relationships today

Do you think you can find your one and the "only" in social networking sites? Different people have different misconceptions about the perfect place to find true love. Some believe that it depends on a person’s ideas on love matters,others feel it depend on the ideal partner you're looking for, while others believe that you can find love anywhere.  My question is, do you believe that a person can find a soulmate on these social networking sites?

If their behaviors are not changed, you might start developing some negative emotions towards a person; this could lead to losing interest in the relationship...
