Is there such thing as a Second Life Soulmate?
Valentines Day is almost here and most of my friends are wandering around Dating Agencies in Second Life. It seems that being single is hell of a torture in February, except for all the escorts offering a special -high- rate for that day. And those who already have a date and a present.
I couldnt help but wonder, are we just looking for someone to spend some time with and have fun? Or are we really looking for our Soulmate?
Suddenly, I heard an absurd statement:
"I am happily married in Second Life, she is the love of my life in-world. And we are best friends as well in Real Life"
Wait, rewind, what?
He only loves her in Second Life, but in Real Life all they have is a friendship...? What are we exactly dealing with in Second Life?
Do you think we have a Second Life Soulmate and a totally different Soulmate in Real Life?
We dont say "I'm in love and married to that person in Facebook, but out of the social network im single". So why do we keep lying to ourselves saying that we only love that person in Second Life?
Oh I'm sorry, I am actually falling for you....wait, let me switch this thing off.....oh there we go...I'm not falling anymore, I forgot it was only SL, had to program my heart again to be just a pixel little thing and stop existing at all while i talk with you. We dont want to risk being real dont we?

After ten years in Second Life I decided to write about it. How real does it get? How real are we? How involved can you be in relationships? If you have a relationship in Second Life, can you even fall for someone else in RealLife? I started to wonder how many people feel the same way and just share my experiences, maybe hoping that putting it into words will help me answer my questions...and yours.
