Abstract
This project report revolves around the concept of love as a notion and how theorists, psychologists and researchers throughout time have presented different perspectives of it. Due to globalization and the rapid development of technology, meeting online has become common in the contemporary Western society. The way people interact and seek for love has altered, therefore the focus of this project will be on the concept of cyber-love. Theories on the differences between the online and offline love will be presented, followed by the viewpoints of individuals who have encountered cyber romantic relationships.
