With the help of the internet, we are easily acquainted with many people across the globe. And by doing so, most of us can't help but to invest emotions to the person whom we got along with on the internet. But do you think you can survive the "distance" and "the cultural differences"?

I've tried this before..meeting someone online and then trying to have a long distance relationship...doesn't work! We met online.. chatted for a few months..then decided to meet up. We did, and unded up dating for over 2 years.. but he just got too controlling, and trying to control a relationship when you live in a different country.. is impossible! :-P
BUT...I do have to mention that I met this amazing guy on myspace..we chatted for a few weeks, then we met up. We ended up moving in with eachother after a few months.. and now we are happily married (over 2 yrs now) and have a beautiful little girl. So, it some cases, it doesn't work.. but in others, it does! :)

For me I don't think its the distance and the cultural differences that really make online relationships not long lasting. The thing is you can have great friends on the internet that you truly enjoy spending time with and talking to and you might get strong feelings for them but I don't think you can truly love a person you met online. Just think about it, when you're behind a screen people normally aren't 100% themselves. Yeah you might say you are, but people are more apt to say things they normally wouldn't, etc. You can be anyone you want and that is the reason most online relationships start. So when you are finally ready to make that commitment by the time you actually see them in person what happens if they are a completely different person, or all those little habits that you couldn't ever see before really get on your nerves? Its just a disaster waiting to happen.
Now if you met someone online that lives in your area and you built that friendship and relationships off the net then you have a better possibility but you really need to be around someone to really understand who they are in reality.

I think, it depends on the person if they can handle that kind of relationship. As what other said, Love is love. We can't say if it will last forever. But if they really meant to be, no distance and whatever culture can break them up. It's not bad having an online relationship, just be wise and don't be easy to get.
