I have had four online relationships, and it can work as long as both parties are willin to communicate with each other. It is hard though, expecially since you can hang out with them, hold their hands, etc etc. Some poeple can do it- I have seen two couple who met over the internet and are now married with kids. Happily married I may add.

Well, I don't mind. I don't have these relationships,
I am only 12.
But i have experiance because of my Dad.
He is an aircraft engineer, and whenever the Islam Hajj was on,
he had to go out and make sure everything was under control at airports.
The strain was seriously bad on me and my Mom,
because we don't get along.
It became very, very hard, considering I was being bullied at one of the times he went out.

But, consider the plus signs.
I have travelled all over the world, Singapore, Australia, Las Vegas, New York, Toronto, Kos, loads of places.

The pull on mothers when there husbands are away is especially significant, btu I have no idea for others.
I imagine it to be hard however.

I'm in an online relationship.
It's hard as hell.
You have to be comitted and it's about wanting the person and not a person.
I think as long as you know the person and you're not a twelve-year-old who is going to end up getting raped by a fifty-year-old it's all right.

The world is evolving and the internet is a major form of communication.
It's only logical that people start using it for relationships.

Also, non-romantically, all of my friends are internet friends.

That's crazy. Well online relationships are really hard to maintain. I had an online friendship once, and we really got disconnected after some time because I had no time to go online.

I've had an online friendship with several people since august of 2005.

They've been really good friends, and I see nothing wrong with it Smile

Well, if you have constant access to the internet and you go on it as often as I do they aren't very hard to maintain.
I met my fiance and my maid of honour [to be] online.
If you communicate then the relationships are quite easy to maintain.
It also doesn't help that I have to lead a double life [with my homosexuality] in my community.
That sort of cancels out friendship.
When I'm online I am myself and I find people who accept that.
It's easier to be yourself online when face-to-face rejection isn't an option.
I think lots of people embrace that.

I think online relationships are hard, (speaking from experiance) but if you do it the right way they can be maintained well. The boy I dated we grew apart and never talk now. He hates me for some weird reason. But I think if you find someone you truely connect with you should go for it. Any love is love no matter where they/you are.

idk
i'm half for it then half against it.
i mean you really don't know the person and could end up being killed and/or raped but then the internet is a major thing right now in life and is used to communicate with loved ones so why not find someone online too. as i said half against half for.

I think it can be good and bad at the same time.
You don't really know the person you are speaking to. It could be a 50 year old guy who pretending to be 15. You have to be really careful. But saying that, you don't really know the person you meet at the pub/club or whatever.
i think having a webcam helps. Because then you can see who you are taling to and they can see you.
Anyone involved in a online relationship just be careful that the person is who they say they are.

I knew who I was talking to.
We traded phone numbers and everytime I called up I was handed to the same person.
Andie's family was there and I talked to everyone by the time we started dating.
The fact that her father kept going "what does a 19-year-old have to say to a 15-year-old at one in morning" pretty much proved she was real.
And this was all before we started dating online.

It is very easy to fall into traps online.
I was never big into internet non-platonic relationships to start with.
The only reason I would have dated someone is if I knew they were real.
I knew Andie was who she said she was.

I think that if you know that and have proof and you fall for someone, it's your choice.

And it's hard, but if you love them it's worth it.

I think online relationships are rather useless. And creepy!
