online (long distant) relationship

what do you think about online (long distant) relationship? =)

i don't mind having an online relationship. been there done that. i have a net-bf before. although things doesn't work-out between us, but i think net-relationship is kinda fun-based on my experience. =)

A relationship isn't about fun - a added bonus maybe.

I'm not for them at early ages, where you're not likely to see them for months, even years at a time. You're far more better off devoloping your relationship skills with people you can actually have a commited, worthwhile relationship both physical and mental.

Sure you can say a relationship isn't just about physically being there, but to me love isn't just words on a screen, photographs sent, or letters wrote - it has to be the holding hands, hugging, kissing, affectionate holding of the back etc.

You can only go far with a relationship purely mentally on a word basis.

=) true! true! true! thank-god we all have different personality, or else this world is so boring! =)

I'm in one two...and while I have to wait a little over 3 years before the chance to even meet him...that's fine with me...I love him, I always will, and I'm hoping, praying he's the same and will stay with me till the day we can be together. I've had past on-line relationships...some worked for a while, but something came up (eg, boot camp, bands..) I'm just hoping this one works out...

I am completely for online relationships...and I wish everyone in one or in the future in one, good luck...

Just wait until you're living in the same house and you're shouting at him for leaving the toilet seat up or for using the floor as another shelf.

Net relationships are fluff. I've been online for over six years and seen countless net relationships bloom. I know of one net romance that worked... just one.

im in a long distance rship now and we chat online every night...does this class as online rship?hehe
well we've only known each other nearly two months but ive travelled down to his house for four days and hes coming up to mine beginning of next month so id like to think that they work out :) hes so lush and pefect and he thinks i am too :)
also good luck to everyone whos in one..its hard but SO worth the wait when u get to see them
xxxLoUxxx

Online long distance relationship can work I wasn't looking for one after my last one failed but I got one when this guy asked me out, and now we are enaged, and its wonderful I recommend them to anyone who's lookin for love.But be careful because your heart can broken like mine did before.

=) thanks for all the replies & posting new infos about net-relationship.. often with net-relationship, you don't judge a person by their appearances, you love them for who they are-their personality. on the other hand, you don't know how they act in reality.. they can be a totally different person in life compare to the life chatting on the internet. =)

i think online relationships are very much possible!! it'd work out if you tried hard enough.. trust me ;)

it depends how old you are and how committed you are. my sister had an online bf but they were only 16 and 17. they loved each other a lot and wanted so much to meet the other irl, but they werent old enough. in the end they decided that it would never work and while they were together it would cause much too much pain. a similar thing happened to a friend of mine. theres just something about a relationship that requires physical contact of some sort. so anyway, my take, if youre too young to go out and find each other, its probably just gonna end up in pain.

Me And my bf knew each other by this way
we've been together for a year and half
I myself think its great
sometimes you show feelings you can't show when you're meeting him face to face
*Besides* i'm too shy to tell him anything when we meet Lol
but he loves me alot and i believe n that

I am all for online relationships, although, if u dont have trust, then you have nothing. They can work out to a certain extent, but the jealousy factor seems to come in a lot. U have to trust each other and actually believe it'll work out, or else it will fail. If u keep in touch with one another on a regular basis, then it could actually work out.

i agree with Jaded Wolf.. =) trust is the key for online relationship.. =)

I have experinced the same situation before, and yes it can seem fun for a while, but where do you see it going??

it is basically a dead end relationship. Though the internet is fast, and webcams create near perfect images, letting you interact, creating a lifelike envirioment, Its never gonna be quite as good as the real thing.. Not even close!! you can try to express your feelings online, but they are never gonna be as personal or as real, as if they came from you own mouth! Which basically will end up turning your relationship, into merely words...

kind regards, kane

Hi again Jessica

Just read the reply from jaded wolf, and yes.. he is right in a sence, about having the trust, but where is that gonna take you... you will be confined to your own imaginative cyber lovenest! Trust is = to solidarity in this case! yes, you do get jealuos along the way, but what can you do about it, you cant interfere with that persons life, you cant dictate to them, saying what they can and cannot do.. otherwise you'll ruin everything.. trust wont work in this case anyway, becasue how will you ever know the difference! Trust will be shadowed by words, as will emotions..

Words will dictate to you in this case, what you should be feeling, and what you should be thinking...

kind regards, kane

Its going to take u right where u want it to take u. Trust is the basis of any relationship, actual relationships and long distance ones included. U have to love that person enough, in order to trust them enough, cuz really anything can happen in an online relationship. Its true that u cannot tell the person what he/she can and can't do, but if u love them and place ur trust in them, given the fact that they also love and trust u, then there isn't even a jealousy factor anymore.

It will obviously make a difference though, cuz no one will be in an online relationship with someone they don't even trust. Words aren't the only thing that make a long distance relationship work out. Its the same as an actual relationship, just without the physical contact, and well.. the inability to see each other.
