Online relationships?

I knew stories of people meeting online and ending up getting married. I never realized it was possible, but there are people who claims that it was something that they did not expect to happen but somehow found a way to make their relationship successful. Maybe it is because not all would think of really getting too serious about it for fear of meeting the wrong people and end up being in danger.

Hi andrewbarclave! I've been into online relationships and I'm currently into that until now. Yeah, I agree that there are possibilities that the character they show online is different from offline. It's best to be yourself and show your flaws while you're dating online. It takes time to know someone. I suggest we have limitations in terms of privacy when we haven't met the person in real life yet (Offline). I've met someone who's a violent person when we've met. Although I've seen some signs when we were still chatting online and the way he bad mouth all his ex girlfriends. Good thing I did not marry him or I might be a battered house wife. The mistake I made was I added him so fast to my Facebook account and let him control my life. Anyways, I am happy with my current online relationship. We've met already and so far so good. . It' a tough relationship but if true love is there, I think it' worth it.

It is not bad when it comes to online relationship. I have experience these but I don't know. I have still my gf on my side.

I'm currently in a relationship that started out online and now has been going on for about 2 years(I've since moved in with her,and I'm happier than I've ever been in my life).So it can work out. But I had two long-distance relationships in the past that blew up into utter and complete failures.I don't know if it was my age or circumstances,but the blowups and breakups pretty much scarred me for life.I wasn't ready for that.I did gain some measure of wisdom and patience from the experience,though.It's decisions like long distance relationships(and of course,many other things) that make everyone's story unique.

well as per my experienced I been inlove and being fooled from online relationship I have.I thought He is single but after 2 meetups I discover he is married So i have to leave him.He is from hongkong but he is also a filipino like me.On my first relationship before him we don't meet personally He is Indian working in ABuDhabi and after I finish my colleges He gives me an ultimatum for our almost 2 year online relationship to meet and follow him in U.A.E. but I was being victim of a illegal recruiter going to that country for a job offer. and that is the reason I delayed then he fly back to India and had a fixed marriage from his parents arrangements. and really I was really hurt seeing their wedding pictures online.He leave me he thought I am not serious with him. I also have friend who is now married with a girl they just met online last year.They are now living together in Minnesota . It was also featured in one of our tv programs about the internet scam where the suspect looking for a relationship online and then will say that he has bank there and visa has been prepared and then he/she need to meet this person who will arranged the documents and the money about the bank. and then when he met the person this is will ask for down payment so the victim can claim the money from the bank and also get a visa. We must have to be smart there are many fools here online but there are also few who are serious in looking for a relationship just like me before.for 100 person you will meet there is only 1 person who is really serious as per my opinion and experiences

i have seen lots of person now days chatting to each other by the help of internet its easy to share for your feeling and thought and you can batter understand about your self after knowing to each other me try to close some budy and get to perfect and after that we feel its very good person for me,,i shoud not leave then,,,,then after some day we call just he/she my lover,,,,its open relation ship no need to create any presoure each other,,,,,if u like some one so make otherwise just leave them??????

Actually it is in the two person if the really love is other no matter what the distance is. But it is much better if you see you love one in person, long distance relationship need more trust from each other, and you must have time for the person.

I've met quite a few guys online in the past and some have remained friends and others I couldn't care less for. I'm sort of seeing a guy now that I recently met on cl. He seems very nice (and he's cute!). It started out he was going to just look at my laptop for me but I guess we're dating now. I like him and hope something comes from it. We have a lot in common.

This is very apparent to those who met online through chatting. Later on became in love with each other and eventually agreed to get married. This happen normally between people from different races or those who belong to different countries. Being brought up a kind of life in too different ways but were able to meet up because they love each other, and become willing to understand whatever differences they may have. I don't experience the same myself but I had long distance relationship before. Just like online sweethearts its not really easy. Most of them ended being separated.

I have had both positive and negative experiences with online relationships. When my ex-boyfriend and I broke up I joined a couple of online dating sites and through one of those sites I got in touch with a man. We exchanged emails for a while and they we decided to meet. The meeting was a disappointment, the man was very different when I met him in person, we didn't get along at all and we only met once. The second meeting was also kind of disappointing. We got along really well online, but when we met I wasn't attracted to him and he wasn't attracted to me. The third person that I met later became my husband and today we have been married for 4 years.

Hi andrew, I too tend to agree with you that online relationship cannot work. It may be a starting point but I think a long lasting and meaningful relationship must be sealed through face-to-face contact and not through cyber space. Of course there are exceptions, rare exceptions. Maybe these people are lucky and they are a perfect match. Have a good day.

Online relationships isn't for everyone. My husband's friend married someone whom he met off the internet. Their marriage life is a mess right now but that's another story.

Online relationships can be good only if you make it work but me and my boyfriend met online and we stay in the same town. It's been two years and we are doing good.

its never the same as a genuine physical relationship in which you can see one another
