Nope, definitely not for me. I personally think online relationships are sort of lame. Too physical for that sort of stuff anyway

Nah, not really a relationship if the most intimate thing you do is talk through a webcam, it's different if you meet up personally every now and then, but solely through the internet is pretty lame.

Whether it be "pretty lame" or "fantasy" or not real it does work. My older brother met and dated his girlfriend for a year online, then met and they've been happily living together for three years.. So, you cannot say it doesn't work at all or that it's not real because it is, and does work sometimes. Just maybe not for all. It depends a lot on the type of personality in someone too, you have to be one who opens up and talks enough through text, you have to be more so animated then boring txting, you have to be the type that believes just because your in love or with someone you don't NEED the psychical, or it can wait, you have to be optimistic. etc. My brother and his girlfriend are as perfect as can be for each other, each with very distinct personalities but very alike.

IMO I don't think we should control where or how we fall in love with someone. We can't choose who we love or how we feel so why should we deny another way of meeting someone? We don't know when how or where we're supposed to meet the love of our lives but I think if the feelings are there you shouldn't deny it too much. And, of course age has a huge deal to do with the reality of it working out, like I'm at the age now where it would be fine and easy to meet people with today's methods of transportation and technology and that. If the love lasts and we're happy, when we're ready we spend a couple hundred bucks on a plane ticket and fly to them, no big deal. I mean if two people are happy as it is online, who cares about psychical or how real someone thinks it is, if you two are happy it doesn't concern anyone else and there's no rush to kiss or have sex, being happy and having another person and love in your heart and you want to be committed to is all that matters.

From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.

Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.
With a gentle warm heart and a will of stone, We'll never be apart, You'll never be alone. - John <3

I was in a long distance relationship. It was great at first, but not seeing them after months and months eventually takes it's toll. I wouldn't do it again unless I knew it wasn't a permanent situation.

If someone online found me I'd consider it. By that I mean, if I fall for them, it'll happen.

I've been in an online relationship before and I'd do it again. I finished it because I wasn't happy, not because of the online side of it. It works well for some people, others not so much I guess. But if you really want to make it work, I believe it can.

I would. I'm extremely picky, and physical stuff is secondary for me. I'd rather meet a girl that meets my standards online rather than meet one that doesn't offline.

Hubby has been in Germany four quite a while now, so our relationship is pretty long distance. It is hard and gets stressful, especially as how we have twin girls and one on the way. BUT he's coming home on Saturday!!!

I think an online relationship would work if it gathers two honest and mature people who aren't just playing around, and who can afford moving out to other places any soon. And of course, if it wasn't followed by real meeting, then it's pointless in my opinion.

It's really the time for humanity to take a dump.
