Internet Relationships: How real can they get?

I believe that real friendships can develop on the internet. I met a guy a year ago onlie and we became very good friends. He flew from miles to meet me. Today we are still very good friends. We correspond online, through letters, we send each other packages, etc. I'm so happy I decided to meet him. There is only one warning, one has to be very careful when choosing to met people from the net. After months of conversation and probing each other, you should be able to decide whether it's safe to meet this person.

I think you have rightly said there... it isn't just about love,,, there's definately more to it... one of my lady friend couple of years back...enjoyed voyuerism over the net.... and she did it in real... only to face the harsh reality later on that the guy has dreadfully cheated on him and all the information were made up... it was a great smart work by the guy ... there isnt much that my friend could have done there... later on my friend received a gift ... from that net friend and said try to forget me ASAP... he also added that either you are s*** to sleep with me ... or an innocent victim ... to believe in whatever i said... i can see there a fradulent relationship there.... i also came across some really succesfull relationships that started with the help of technology ofcourse... and are more happy than ever... its hard to say... i think as of now... its just a matter of chance or luck

yup it depends on how its going..coz we cannot tell virtual relationship will always suceed..its very rare case..but it suceeded in real...i met my life partner online only...but it cannot be the case for everyone...so be careful....

I could say some are true and some are not. I both experienced it on the net. But now I am with my lifetime partner whom I've met on Yahoo Messenger.
