wooho, my first thread!

yeah, as the title says, it's about online relationships.I hear a lot about people having a girlfiend or boyfriend online without even having seen them once, only through pics.

my friend,for example, always falls in love with someone who lives on the other side of the country.doesn't last long though.

There was also a guy who travelled all the way to america, to propose to his online girlfriend, only to discover she never existed.it had been a guy tricking him.

so, what are your thoughts about this?is having a relationship online pssible, according to you?

as for me: It depends.If you've known him for years, or at least for a long time, then maybe.
but most of the time, I tend to think it's rather weird.
there are some exceptions though, but i myself have never experienced an online relationship ^_^

Edit!:: another question!
If you were to fall in love with someone you met online, how'd you react?

If you can make it work, do it ^^ I think that is possible.
Online relationships have the same problems as real life ones though.

Zukachan! ;_: Your first thread, congrats! XD

Like you said I think it depends. If you know the person for a long time and have complete trust in them I can see it working. But just chatting can't be enough. O_O There must be other forms of communication, for all you know the person can be someone of the opposite gender, or even worst, a friend playing a trick on you! (I've heard about this before.)

To make it possible you have to be a person that can fully trust the other person. Having doubts means you've already fail. Can't build a relationship on lies and doubts! o_O

Never have experience though and never will! ^__^

I have to thank you again. It's been a while since I've had this much d**k on my computer. :'3

Actually, I thought that that kind of a relationship is just plain stupid. And then I met a guy. And it was just perfect. Ofc I didn't even consider a relationship but I can say that I have never in my life liked a guy so much. Well we are just really good friends and the way it is now is just perfect. Cuz if we met each other or anything like that i think that it would ruin that perfectness. xD Only my experiences though xD.

The perfectness is the problem. An online relationship can never be the same as a real relationship.

When you're unhappy, you need to make someone feel worse.

Well, I have never met anyone who has had successful relationship over the internet, so I don't really think they're a good idea. I'd rather meet the person first before I tried to have a relationship with them.

Well it works for some people, someone in my family eventually got to the point to go visit the girl, even if it wasn't good at that time, they are doing well now.

In my case, I don't really think I would seek for this kind of relationship.

I'm much to paranoid about who might be on the other side to ever consider going into a relationship without meeting the person at least once. But, if I met a guy and kept in touch with him via internet, I don't think that means we can never enter a romantic relationship. Then, I guess it'd just be like a normal long-distance relationship, though, not an online one.

I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

Well, I do have some very close internet friends, I've even travelled to America once to meet a very close internet friend. And I could meet others if I have the resources to do so.

Personally, I see having online friends is like my own social life IRL. Afterall, they're all real people, it's just in the matter of whether that person is genuine or not. Internet is a serious business.

and oh! Congrats for your first thread Azuka! ^_^b

interesting opinions so far.
I can't say I'll never have such a relationship, you nver know.but it would be frustrating, never seeing eah other and all.
and when you're living in other countries, it'd be quite impossible to see each other regularly.

😕
I did read in the news of couples running away from houses after falling in love on the internet...
I never think I'm ever gonna see someone in my life with such a relationship. And for a guy like me (who tends to forget his roomie's name...) this may never work.
But... 😐
I've never seen the future so I refuse to say anything about myself, regarding this... in absolute sureness... 😀
Also... 😐
Never had a relationship in real life... over the internet it may seem easy, but I'm sure it has to be a lot more difficult (you know... convincing him/her and all...)

i dont have many friend friends irl, so if i ever want (or have time for) a relationship, its gonna probably have to be online 😢
haha! more free time!
but really, online relationships could be a huge mistake. im kinds reluctant to ever start one

My friend had an online relationship then flew out to meet his girl (8 hour flight or more) proposed to her, married her and is still married to her 4 years later. So yeah, it does work sometimes. Of course you will have to meet eventually and at that point it can all change but not always.

...or even worst, a friend playing a trick on you! (I've heard about this before.)

That happened to me except I wasnt stupid enough to believe it, I just went along with it out of bordem and to see to what lengths theyd go to try to convince me. They would send me pics of girls that didnt even look the same facial wise but had the same hair claiming it was them I ROFL 😀

🤣 Whoa, that's mean!

Erm, I think it's a bit weird and probably not for me (for various reasons). But I don't doubt it's possible to meet someone you'll love online...
