Love Made in Second Life

Over the years, I've heard of people from SL meeting in RL. I've heard good things; I've heard of bad things. Even disasters. Many in their profiles specifically state they have no interest in anything related to RL and threaten to mute or block anyone who gets too inquisitive. However, I have on occasion heard examples of two people meeting, and it working. We can meet a potential partner anywhere in real life. Why not meet them online? Why not meet them in a virtual world? Anything is possible!

Second Life published a series of seven videos created back in 2019-2020 about real life couples who first met in Second Life.

At the right time, in the right place, with the right person, anything is possible. (My Rule of the Three Rights)

Within the context of SL, I've ofttimes remarked that anybody can click on a poseball but not everyone can make it click. And if it doesn't click, what's the point?

We all seek to make a connection and yet, I believe that connecting with somebody, truly connecting with them, can be a rare event. And that's applicable to RL as well as SL. But hope springs eternal as the saying goes and statistically speaking, sooner or later, we're bound to meet "the one". Good luck to us all.

All the best to you in your worlds (plural: SL & RL). :-)
