On other sites that I’ve been on, most have said its a bad thing thats a waste of time. How about you guys? I’m all for online relationships. I’ve been in two real life relationships which has brought me nothing but heartache and five online relationships (including my current relationship) which has brought me more knowledge as well as heartache. | |

There’s a thread here where people talk about it a little: http://blahtherapy.com/user-groups/girl-talk/forum/topic/girls-have-you-ever-fallen-for-someone-online/ In answer to your question, I think it’s becoming more and more common and acceptable. You just have to apply a little common sense, hehe. I’m with someone I met on Twitter almost 4 years ago and we’re literally from different sides of the planet, but we moved to be together and it’s awesome. Having said that, there are plenty of horror stories out there. Nothing is black and white ;D | |

I believe that if two people are happy wherever they are positioned in the world, then they should go for it because eventhough a couple can be far apart, what matters is that they’re close at heart. | |

It’s key in every relationship, but it’s imperative to Online/Long Distance relationships. I think they can work, it’s just different for everyone. Things like Skype to where you can actually see them and talk to them can be a great tool. | |

Both have to be sure what they are getting into and accept that at times may be hard, but if theres love and trust, there should be no problem. | |

There’s no real way of knowing if you’ll have the serious spark in person, no matter how sparky you are online, and there ARE risks involved. I think you should talk to a person for a decent amount of time online before you meet them in person, and if/when you do meet them, do so in a public, safe place. But getting to know someone on a purely conversational level can have its benefits! | |

Personally, the online relationship I had was better than the face to face relationship I had. As long as the person can prove they are real and both people realize that you have to keep open communication all the time, online relationships are great! | |

2421 QA Reputation165 | Red Sheep said 9 years, 9 months ago: It’s a risk.. With an online relationship one of the most things that become quickly a problem is trust. I had a bad luck in my first online relationship, because people (for not saying his friends) kept meddle in our relatioship. I was receiving fake messages from them, and so he did. We broke up pretty soon, tired of this situation, because we didn’t trust each other at all, and only months later we discovered what actually happened. It’s a little hard keeping for so long an online relatinoship, that’s what I’m saying, especially after at least three months, but it’s not impossible! I know a couple that met online nine years ago and now they’re getting merried, so.. Never give up the hope! | |

587 QA Reputation43 | Dark Rainbow said 9 years, 8 months ago: I think online relationships have become more and more likely now in days. I think they’re good if you know how to handle them. you also have to make sure you’re not getting played and that on both sides of the screen you want the same thing. my girlfriend and I have been dating for a year and 5 months, we met on tumblr! I’ve never been happier with any other person. it is hard but well worth it! (: | |
