I know that there are a lot of online friend finder sites. For me, I do not believe in online relationship because I think that most of those sites are not true. Some of the sites require people to pay fees. Then, some people will not be who they are online. So, I do not believe online relationship. What about you?

i really dont believe in internet relationship. once i saw on the news about a foreigner marrying someone, they knew each other on the net and they got married after their marriage as expected of a honeymoon. so the foreigner took his clothes off and wondered why the woman didn't took her clothes off and then he just found out that he married a man. hahha dumb luck.

I don't believe internet relationship either. I think that husband will be crazy when he finds out that he married a man.

I use to believe in them until one day when i gave my whole to someone i met on the net, for a year we've been chatting and seemed like things were working for us and i liked her and she liked me too. Until when the time came for us to meet in real, is then that she told me that she was "kidding". I used to ask her friends about her life style, her gae and everything and the said it was the age that she did told me, but after she has told me that she was kidding i went all out to her friends to ask them the truth about her and only to find that she was way too old. 13 years older to be exact and also she wasn't from the place she told me that she was. Since then i never trust anyone i meet online, but is funny on my side because then i find myself telling nothing but the truth about me, i mean when i try to lie i feel like this person see me or can easily tell if I'm telling lies. So sad what other people can do online, most take advantage that they are hiding behind the little box called computer.

Hi, right now, no, we don’t have bicycle anymore at home. We used to have bicycles when we were young. We have one each. We are 5 in the family plus 2 cousins. I think we had 5 bicycles at that time… for kids.. Yup, it is really fun but now, I can’t seem to remember how to ride a bicycle hahaha… I think I will lose control on it. Happy Mylotting and Holidays! Cheers!

WAHHH... SORRY... MY POST IS WRONG... LET ME MAKE IT UP.. this was intended for your other dicussion... :) ========================= Yes, I do believe in Internet relationship. I have been involved in a man before through online chatting etc but not all ends up in happy ending. I have a friend who is in love with her boyfriend. They met online through chatting, became friends then develop into something deeper. The guy went here in our country to meet my friend… my oh my! They really do love each other. I am so happy for them. They are getting married once they settle all the requirements. Everything is possible in this world. Happy Mylotting and Holidays! Cheers!

I do believe in online relationships but its definitely very very hard to find. I mean just like you said, some sites require fees, and most people wouldnt tell the truth about themselves online. So most of the time its just something to pass the time with or just get to talk to somebody with when the real friends are unavailable. But when people meet online and really get to know each other and there are no lies then Im okay with that. Its just hard to trust strangers on those kinds of sites. You just dont know why they are really there in the first place.

Hi there my friend. I believe that an internet relationship may start like that (on the internet) but i think the number of scams and deceptions is bigger than in reality. I know 2 of my friends that met on an internet online game and now they are together as a couple for over 4 years.

Online relationships?! I believe an online relationship can lead to an actual relationship, but I don't believe you should pay for it! I reconnected with an old schoolmate on facebook and we're doing ok, I know of people who met online and are doing perfectly fine! The key is to try and connect with someone in your area! You can try some one in a longer distance, but it seems to work better in your general area! Taripre$

yes, most are not what they project to be but there are also honest pp out there in this sites. also there are many other means to get into an internet relationship or look for one. Anything is possible and i had a gf from a nearby country through internet relationship and we got on fine but it was really very tiring and expensive to be in one. if financailly is not strong, it can be a real challenge cos we see each other only a few times a year which of course led to our break up. but it is still possible as we had seen many other successful examples around. The most important thing is to exercise caution when u are in one or when starting to find one

In my own view, i am not in friend finder sites too. We do have lots ways to know new friends, no need to use this website. but while, refer to the internet relationship, i do believe . The true love , friendship do exist in internet.If we do treat others well,honestly, others will pay back. (*^_^*) best wishes

Yeah, if we can be honest and another person we meet online can be honest, then the relationship might work.

yes that could be possible but be sure that you are ready to the consiquencies, coz there are some people whome you met on net are not true they will say that they are single but the fact is they are married they make you as there puppet or so...if possible dont give your whole trust to the people whom you meet only on net...

You are right. If we trust people easily, we might get hurt easily.

It depends..Its so seldom finding good guys over the net.. You can sense whether that person is true or just making fun with you.. At first chat you will not believe him/her completely,you have to ask many questions first before entering or creating a relationship, so that you will know if its phony or genuine.. YOu have to know also how to catch him/her if he/she is telling you the truth.. don't just rely on chatting ask him to have an effort to call once in a while.

Maybe you are right. Chatting alone will not be a good way to check the honesty of a person.

I met my fiance on the internet. Not a dating site, but on a cartoon message board. I don't really believe in dating sites, because it seems like a waste of money, but I'm proof that you can meet someone online and have a connection. I also met an ex online, on the same site as my fiance, and he turned out to be the best friend I've ever had. The relationship didn't work because of distance, but we still care very much for each other.

haha,, here you are again.. Well, I tell you what? there are some good online dating sites. In fact i meet my partner in an online dating site but it is a Christian dating site. I have confidence on the Christian dating sites. You can meet sincere people in a Christian dating sites. You must be careful though in selecting a site to meet some online friends. yes there are some who are not telling the truth. If you really want †ø have good friends online, Go to a Christian Dating site. Good luck.

Hi sdas86,yes there are a lot of friends finder sites in the internet.As me,i don't believe the relationships in internet like you too because as you says some of the sites need to pay and the person that we find,we don't know whther the person is a good person or a cheater.

You are right. We don't really know the person that is introduced by the friend finder sites. There are a lot of cheaters online, so we need to be careful.

yes, I think they CAN be just a strong as real life relationships, if both people are honest, it is easier to lie over the net, but if both people are honest, there's no reason why it couldn't work, in fact, it could be stronger because it wasn't based on looks in the first place. Much Love,

Hi, It is true that if both person don't lie it will work but most of the time people is not telling the truth. So, I think that it is hard to trust.

I'm not sure if you mean online friendships or online boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, so I'll just speak for both. I think it's possible to find someone that shares the same views as you and become friends with them over the Internet, however, I don't think that there's a chance of that relationship standing as concrete as one in real-life. I think that you can grow to trust someone (although you probably can't be sure if that person is who they say they are) and develop a friendship with them. Online boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, I don't really believe in. Online chatting, is, after all, just words on a screen, and it's hard to really like or even love someone just based on their words, without seeing what they look like or how they act. People's personalities change greatly online and in real-life, so while you may like someone for who they are on the Internet, you might not like their real-life personality at all. Online relationships are not likely to succeed (unless the other person lives very close). I don't believe in online friend sites though. I think that if you develop a connection between someone on a forum, it's not like you were searching for a friend and found someone else that was searching for a friend. I think it seems that true online friendships (if such a thing exists) are completely accidental.

For me the internet is one possible way for you to meet different people. It's just like going to a bar that's full of strangers. But you'll never really get to know the person just by spending a few hours with him or her. The internet helps people broaden their search for love, but a real relationship takes more than going online. Building friendships by spending real activities with another person is still the best way there is. :-)

You are right. Spending quality time with friends are still the best way to know each other better.
