My best friend was on a forum for something like 3 years and this other user was, too. Suddenly they started webcaming and phoning all the time and now she has been living with him for almost a year and it seems like they are going to get married in the future.

...so yes, I think online relationships work. But before falling super-ultra-110-% in love you should meet and see if the chemistry is there in real life, too. 😉

I somewhat agree with this. I think that you can meet someone online, but all the real relationship stuff has to take place in real life. After all, you can't touch each other through a computer.

🤣 You're so direct, Xeronia. But that's true~

yes yes, very true.

here's another question:
if you were to fall in love with someone you met online, how would you handle the situation?

my answer: I don't know.I'd be too afraid to tell him, 'cause if he isn't interested, things will never go the way it was before again.
but, if the guy shows an interest, maybe.but still, I'd be afraid! xD

Go for it, if I know he feels the same. It's hard to find someone to connect with and if I should, be it online or in real life, then I'm not going to let anything stand in the way. As long as we're happy, then I'd do it.

Well... Online relationships might work if the two persons involved are truthful to each other and met sometimes. Otherwise, it can't be possible. There's always the "carnal" stuff, such as kissing, even if you say you can live without it...
I'm a member of some portuguese forums. And I found out that there were two couples who met each other there and fell in love. They had more than 300km between them, but, even so, they tried everything to meet each other. And they did! One of the couples is currently living together, for example.
Besides that, I met my boyfriend in a forum as well. We met each other in one of the forum's meetings and fell in love with each other. We didn't talk once until that moment. And now we are really happy. We can see each other whenever we are free and our parents accepted our relationship.

Men online are still men.
The only woman I liked online was married...=/
But that was more friendship than anything else.

I didn't have what you would call "relationships", more like crushes, and more often them to me...
Problem is, they got possessive... Got into the whole romance thing way too quick way too much, while on my side I only saw them as nice hanging out buddies...~
I also found that even online problems like quick shifts from friendship to romance exist

Things tend to disappear online... I don't think it's wise to get your hopes up high for online relationships.
Of course, I don't say it's impossible since I've known people to go out after having met online.

Just wanted to add this:
Love online, not love online. Doesn't really matter as long as you get to feel it.
Don't mock those who fall in love like that.
I for example, have a worse kind of love.
I fell in love with a mangaka I have never seen and know nothing of. ^^;;;
🤣

Um... being a fairly conservative person with myself (not politically), I would hit my head and try to forget the crush. But I'm one who prefers real life over online life. It's more fun actually doing things rather than imagining.

Too weird.

If it's online and it stays online, no.
If it started online but somehow they meet in real life (which isn't always safe, boys and girls) and continue through real life and not online, less weird and if they end up getting married that would be kind of cool. (:

Uhm, sorry, no. XD
Though I can't say it can't happen and can't work out. It's just not something I'd do. Friends? Sure! Lovers? No!
I am friends with a lot of people on the internet. I don't even talk on the phone with my real life friends, like I'd do that with my internet ones. 😛 Though I can see myself talking on the phone with them. xP

Bumping.....

Say, you have an online relationship. Both you and your partner seem to hit it off pretty well and you trust that person. Yet, your friends are highly against it, claiming the person is lying about everything.

What would you do?

: o Nuuu~ Never had one. Never really plan to. Personally, I never want to. Some people can, though. I've seen/heard some stories, cute and all... but not for me. I have internet friends and all-- but friends is different than the love/liking relationships.

Same thing happened with my cousin, they're set to marry this spring.

As for my opinion, why not? Love is love be it online or in person. If it happened to me I'd see what I could do to make it work in real life as well.

@daisuki
I'd tell my friends the same thing I said up there, what makes this love any different from the ones they've had in real life? How did they know the person they were with wasn't lying to their face about everything. Not everybody online is a murderer, contrary to popular/media belief.

i had one but the relationship only lasted a month cuz we thought(i thought) it would be better to be just friends cuz 'reallife' relationships are already stressful and now online u cant always hang out or see each other so it was mutual ending....but it was fun/weird/exciting...i dont regret it.
