what does it mean?

I used to chat online a lot, an honest to god example of a chat addict. Stopped sometime in 2000, because I suddenly got tired of it. I still dunno what that means, but here are some thoughts about online chat:

* What does it mean when you messaged and said hello to a stranger, and the first response you get is a/s/l/r? Does it mean that if I weren't labeled an M/F, you won't chat with me? Especially since if I'm not located near you, or at a specific age range, since all these grouped together means that I'm not your potential (cyber) sex partner?
* What does it mean when someone goes offline, or goes into hiding when they see you online? Is it always a coincidence? Or are you being ignored? Because you did something bad?
* What does it mean when you kept buggering someone online for they're pic? Does it mean that if he/she didn't look up to your standards you wouldn't keep in contact? Or is it because you wanted to verify whether all your fantasies about that person is true?
* What does it mean when that person doesn't wanna send you the pic? Does it really mean he/she is butt ugly? Maybe what you've said revealed that you have certain fantasies about that person, but he/she is the total opposite? Or would it be because it's just a simple privacy issue? Maybe he/she doesn't even have a scanned pic around...
* What does it mean to have a cyber-relationship? Do you pretend you don't know each other if you met in real life? I can't never figure this out, since I'd never believed nor tried it..

And since the ball's rolling...

* What does it mean to be there for someone, always? How exactly do you "be there", when the other person is thousands of miles away, and a phone call won't suffice? Or maybe you're "there" by his/her side, but would it really help? Would you really be able to understand what the person's going through? Always?
* What does it mean to love someone? What kinda sacrifice will you make? What do you hope for in return? Are you conciously thinking of this? Or do you really want nothing in return, nothing at all? If so, does that mean you can really love someone, and see that someone love and be happy with someone else? Wouldn't you be happier if you knew that the person is happy because of you, instead of someone else?
* What does it mean to love someone forever? Will you love that someone even if betrayed? Again, and again, and again? Will you love that someone if they changed? Will you if they don't love you anymore? Will you, if they hurt you, over and over again?
* What does forever mean anyway? Is it really forever and ever? Til the end of time? Til you die? Til things changed? Til you got tired? Or til the other person got tired?
* What does it mean to not love someone anymore? How much time do you need to know if it's true? Or would you really know? Or does it mean that you can just turn it off, like turning off a light, or water from a tap? Does it mean that the person really doesn't mean anything to you anymore?

OK, I'm hungry now. Thinking hurts. I need lunch.
