For me i think online friendship is alright but I don't agree with online boyfriends or girlfriends because you don't know who they really are and what they're all about. For all you know they could be some old perverted man looking to play/cyber with some young girl. I just find it so sick and twisted.
I wouldn't go meet anyone from the internet. You hear all those scary stories about it like people getting raped and killed. Its better to have a b/f or g/f for "real" rather than on the internet. At least you can see them face to face and give them real kisses and hugs. But when your online you just have to be careful and be safe. Not everyone is like that so don't get too suspicious. Just use common sense! |

online relationships huh? i remember my friends debatin over somethin like that after they watched ".hack//SIGN", with Tsukasa and Subaru.
My View: I think it's just wrong to have an online relationship cause when it's online...u can't understand each other as well (i mean...u're "typing" out your feelings instead of talking to him/her 1 on 1) and what about going out on dates? it just wont work unless you know each other IRL |

Not true.
Some people's personalities are only complete when they're writing it out. An online relationship only won't work when there's not enough imagination in it. |

online relationships would be TORTURE because you wouldn't be able to see them or touch them or any thing
I mean, webcams tell you wether they are telling the truth about their looks, or pictures do. I have no problems trusting most of the people i meet on here just cause alot of the stories you hear are super dumb people who have no instinct whatsoever lol I say if you want to go out with some one on the net make sure they live close and you could visit them sometime soon or w/e |

"writing" and "typing" are two different things to some...u can put more expression through writing rather than typing (unless...what? u plan on using AIM emoticons to express your feelings). and what do u mean "not enough imagination"? sounds pretty bland imo. |

...This debate makes me angry. Not all of it, just...I don't know...Just because you aren't seeing a person doesn't mean you don't know who they are. I'd trust all my friends online more than I trust most of my friends here (not all, but most); and maybe being in a relationship that isn't based off of physical lust is good. Maybe that's what the world needs more of lately. I mean, jesus christ, it's like "you're hot, I want to date you" at my school, and I hate that. Any kind of love is love whether you see the person every second, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year, or heck, even not for a good deal of time. Also, it's kind of contradicting yourself saying "I'd trust an online friend, but not an online boyfriend". So, you'd trust a person with your secrets, and hopes, and dreams...but not your love? Also, relationships can start online, and develop to webcam conversations, phone calls, and even meeting. And if the person is who they say they are, then what are you losing? I'm not saying fall head first into it, if you start a long-distance relationship over the net make sure you know the person, really know them, and trust them first. But jeez, people you see can just be planning to use you just like you claim it is for online datiing. It's not my right to tell you what you should think it right, but it's not your right to say what other's should think is wrong. That's always been my motto. So, if you don't like over the internet relationships, then that's fine. I won't view you as any less human than anyone else, nor will anyone else. I just thought, that since most people are on the other side I would share my own personal opinion.
I am terribly sorry if my views have offended anyone in anyway, but they are just my opinions, and they may very well matter only to me. |

I don't know how to explain this to you, so I'll just skip to a different point. What about phones? /edit Sa-Chan.... You rock. //edit more QUOTE i think its kinda desperate if u gotta go log onto the internet and search for friends....unless yer old and not social cuz if yer young u can go to school and make friends with 1000s of kids Um, it's not like people are searching through internet chatrooms searching for some one to cyber with and call a boyfriend/girlfriend... Sometimes this stuff just happens. ^^ Same with friends, except no cybering and replace boyfriend/girlfriend with friend. Oh, yeah. I'm just gonna go to school and make friends with a thousand people.. Come on. I doubt you could even call 100 people a friend, like a real friend. |

yehh for the most part i do agree, but i have what i say an online boyfriend... but i know he's not fake! we talk on the phone and we cam on occasion. i dont think people are desprete when they have online relationships, because sometimes even if you're not looking for that someone they juss appear. you cant help that, and love can be found anywhere. come on, enemies can be your soul mate and you wouldnt know! you do have to be careful though... you have to have evidence to know if the person is real or not, and if you do then i see no problem with having one.
the only main issue is TRUST!

Um...this should be in Relationships, and there's already topics on this.
 For the record, my good friend met her boyfriend online four years ago, and they've been going out for the past three years.
