i totally agree with you. i don't think internet relationships are very good. that is how some people get raped or killed because they thought that the person was someone that it wasn't. i totally agree with.

yehh i understand... i have one kinda like myself... all you need to know is if the person is fake or not... and having trust... if you dont have them.. then i doubt that one could work... you do have to be very careful.

Yes, internet relationships are bull. I mean first off, it's long distance and since you guys never met at all, it'll be like umm you won't even know whats going on if they cheat on you. Even if they do "cheat" on you, I wouldn't consider it cheating because ..I mean..it's ONLINE.

all i know is it takes a lot of patience and will. all my best friend`s relationship have BEEN online relationships. She finds it more comfortable talking to people online cause she`s self-conscious .. but through her experience that`s what i know. But ya also gotta keep in mind that this person may not be seeing you only or may not be exactly who you think they are .. so you gotta watch what you say and what you do, making sure not to be tOo open and committed to this person.

I mean, you love who you love. Usually, I'm not into the whole internet dating thing, but sometimes... I've been hurt in relationships before, gave up on ever finding someone to love because I was made to believe I wasn't good enough. I've come to realise that most American males are chauvanistic... I've yet to meet one who isn't, even subconsciously. Then I met someone online. We were friends for a while, flirting innocently... Until we admited that we liked the other. My longest relationship offline: 7 months - full of pain My online relationship: Almost a year and full of love. It takes a lot of trust. It takes a lot of patience. I'm planning on moving to be with him at the end of this school year. It just... Depends on the person. Good luck in whatever anyone does. Judge-free's the way to be. |

QUOTE opinion without reason is ignorance ;o opinion without experience is nothing but speculation ok well here is my reason why i think internet relationships are stupid. -u can never be sure if your *internet* partner is being faithful (they can cheat on u and you would never know about it) -its in a way, immature and someone to desprete -they could be some fat old 40 yr old guy/girl and you would never know it -if ur gunna meet them somehow, they might rape you or kill you. and i havent experienced a internet relationship because im not tht kinda person and i just aint gunna go down tht path cause its just ridiculous. |

Not every one you meet online is a old and perverted man/woman, though. Of course you have to be careful and all. You don't have to be desperate to get into an online relationship though. Online relationships can work out and all. I'll have proof..one day...

yeh...but there are like internet sites out there where pedophiles LEARN how to talk to little kids and gain their trust... but i think ppl that do go into internet relationships are just lonely and have no self esteem...thats why they can be whoever they want to be on the internet... its sad

Online relationships can -and do- work, but we only ever hear about the ones that go wrong. I'm in one myself, and my love for her is real. There's no way I would consider cheating on her as some of you have suggested us guys always do. Just because she's beyond my reach right now, doesn't make it any less of a relationship in my eyes.

Blah, how dumb.
Online relationships work just like real life relationships. It's called TEH PHONE. Yeaahh. And teh postage. And teh PLANESSSSS. And.. typing.. Yeah. They work. o_o Having a boyfriend online is different from having a... sex mate.. online. 'sex mates' online is just dumb, but online relationships are like long distance relationships with another way to talk besides the phone. So hah. |

I don't agree with them because how can you actually love someone online and you've never seen them before. They might cheat on you or something because you don't know who they really are and what they're like in real life. There are alot of twisted freaks out there and you have to becareful. Friendship is the last level i would stop at and i wouldn't take it any further. Just use your common sense

I know, it seems all stupid right? I think that sometimes. But -- like oridethewaveso said, there's always the phone/postage...even meeting in real life can be awesome. It's taught me about how to look inside a person, than looking on the skin which will eventually scratch away. :] It can lead into misfortune, online relationships, or it can lead to meeting a person who'll love you for who you are.
