Although the Internet is a virtual space, cyber love can never be an illusion. Meeting and falling in love with a person through the Internet is a popular way of communication in modern society. It deserves to be treated with respect.
網絡是虛擬的空間，愛情卻不能永遠虛擬。通過網絡認識一個人、愛上一個人，其實是現代社會很流行的一種交友方式，它同樣需要人們真誠相待。
It is believed that the traditional love is human action, while online affection is based on an electronic medium. In other words, couples make use of the medium--the Internet to get to know each other. Though sharing the same basic function with the traditional marriage, cyber love still has a big advantage: extending greatly the association scope and the frame of reference, which is called the Marriage Circle in sociology. If the circle is too small, it restricts the evolution of human society. Therefore, the cyber affection has a huge positive effect.
傳統的戀愛多是通過人為的方式來認識對方，網戀的特殊性在于它是通過電子媒介，換句話說就是情侶們通過網絡相識相知。其根本功能和傳統媒介是一樣的，但它有一個最大的好處，就是極大地擴大了交際范圍和參照系。社會學把這個交際范圍和參照系稱作"婚姻圈"，這個圈子如果太小的話，不利于整個人類社會的進化。從這個意義上說，網戀有很大的正面作用。
However, syber love is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it extends the space to make friends and gives people more opportunities of falling in love; on the other hand, the affection expressed through the virtual space can be false or sometimes insincere. Therefore, some people believe, compared with on-line affection, the traditional matchmakers are more trustworthy, and affection in real life is more stable.
但網戀具有雙面性。一方面它拓展了交際圈，讓人們有更多的戀愛機會;另一方面，通過虛擬空間傳遞的感情更容易造假，或者不真誠。因此，也有人認為與網戀相比，還是傳統的"媒灼之言"更值得信賴，真實世界的愛情更加"保險" 。
