Nowadays, more and more people turn online to find friends or even love. And every now now and then I know about some persons who were cheated by their online frinds. My question is: Is online friends or love reliable?

In fact there is true love online,but only some people are lucky to have it. Let's bless them first.As everyone can be online,one should be careful with making friends. I think those who want your private information are either bad persons or having some ill tention. we should keep a distance away from them.

Hi there! i think online FRIENDS are fine. theres nothing wrong in making friends online, BUT personally, i dont think online "LOVE" or a "boyfriend/girlfriend" is okay. I mean, how can you ever give a trust or love through the internet? through chat? through email? i dont think it will work. You dont even know the person personally, his background. You're not even sure if he is already in a relationship or worst, married. Yo just dont know. How can you possibly "know" the person in such a situation. when i say "know' not just knowing by his name, where he's from, how he looks like. But, if you are looking for someone to have a no strings attached relationship, a fling or someone to flirt with, maybe that would be okay. but for serious relationship? i dont think it'll work. :)

I agree with you.There are occasions when people will camouflage themselves online.they will sound very nice although they are actually not.And even they have an unpure intention.they want to get something from you,in which case others will have some kind of injury.

There's nothing wrong with making friends online. As for relationships online you have to make it work. If you guys can't be faithful to one another then obviously someone is going to cheat on the other person. I was in an online relationship for 6 yrs but we saw each other on some weekends when we could because he was only 6 hrs away from me but then he ended up cheating so i ended it. Now I don't go for the internet for online dating anymore, I have a real boyfriend now i been dating almost a year now and very happy with it. So I guess it depends on the 2 people whether they can make it work or not.

I think the Internet is just a platform where we can make friends,it is the same with street or cinema or other places.But my parents and my litter sister don't think so.Last year,a guy i knew her on the Internet 4 years ago decided to go my home,to see different people and broaden horizons.But my families dont think she is a good guy,and refused to meet her in home.......

I have made a few friends online just by discussions and various video games. I still think of them as some of my very good friends, even if I don't get to see them face-to-face much. As far as love goes, I can't say I'd know from experience. My brother tried online dating once, but he said that there's too much lying and "fronts" that are put up. It seems like desperate people trying to find love online. Sorry to anybody who reads this who found love online. Just calling it like I see it.

I can tell you that it can happen. I know people who care for me and like me even though we never met in person. And I have met a wonderful person with whom I have spent the last 5 years together. Of course a relationship that is born online as to one day continue in real life, a love affair that is purely "virtual" hardly can be REAL, but if two people meet, spend time together and still like each other well than I dont see any difference with any other relationship

Yes, it is really reliable. If you found the right person at a right place and at a right time. Call me paranoid but I really can't trust someone so easily. Especially when it is comes to love or friendship that started on the world wide web, but believe me, all of this changed when I met a guy from I know is really so trustworthy.

I think online friendship is okay but there must be some limit to it. I wont prefer to share any personal thing with an online friend as I have never met him/her. I dont know exactly what kind of person he/she is. For online love I think it is not reliable at all as people usually use false information about themselves. I have a few friend who has created their online profile with such information which are far from reality.
