I am in one right now and it is not going so well at the moment. so i am curious to find out how others feel on this matter.

You mean internet relationships as they want to get married some day? No.

They can work. There's a couple here in England celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary and they met over the net. The first time they ever saw each other face to face was for the wedding and they live together and have kids now.
It depends on the person and how commited to something they are really. I've had online relationships before. Some lasted a few weeks, another lasted almost 6 months..

Well yeah. I know somebdy who got married over the internet, but they were one of my friends on an Online Game I used to play.

I don't understand online relationships. But whatever floats your boat, I guess. I always just assumed that they were for ugly people who couldn't get a date in real life, but Amicles isn't ugly so IDK

if you can make them work then all the power to you. but i cant see many of them working out...if i was to have a relationship with someone it would obviously have to do with their personality but i would also like their company, and over the internet its just not the same

i think it was already a thread like this, but anyways , online rel. , never work , only if you chat with you neighbour or something

Awwwwh. For reasons you don't know, that really cheered me up. At least I know people don't think I'm ugly.

im in a online relationship his called Ash ive known him for 3 or 4 years his 19 an is at university in america im 13 an live in the UK an he has just said he isnt intrested till im older which i can understand but it broke my heart i just thought id say that an warn people to be careful else they might get there heart broke (my first post wow) lots of love zoomer2006 (if the picture works its of Ash )

Well....
Online relationships, involved with some phone calls and stuff, before people actually meet each other, might not be that much of a bad idea.
People you chat with online usually shares interests with you, otherwise you wouldn't be chatting.

I hate it when people go to sites like Habbo Hotel and try to get friends there.
Then they end up adding them on MSN, and the people are complete pedophiles.

Pedobait pedobait

Haha. Candy Hartz was planned over the internet.

Im sorrry that sound pretty damn pathetic.

online relationships would only work on mysapce

but its still a pretty stupid idea

What..? Why only on MySpace?

I've had online/long distance relationships before, sort of. Some worked out!
But I find it difficult to commit to people I don't see regularily.

I'm a bit of a cyberslag, all truth told.

In my opinion online relationships just don't work. Its kinda pointless if you don't live near the person or are never going to meet them.
I've had online relationships before and its just not the same as if you are going out with someone living near you.
The only way they'd work was if both of you were committed to each other and met up regularly, otherwise its just pointless.

Yeah..chelsey freaks me out sometimes..

I think online relationships is for ugly people.

No i don't think they could.
The overwhelming majority doesn't.
And it cant be taken seriously.

OH NO! NOT MYSPACE!

I had an online girlfriend way back in like 6th grade. It was a girl the went to my friends school. It lasted about a week or two, and I didn't even see her untill after we broke up. Haha.

I haven't had an online relationship since.

They are stupid and foolish (online committed relationships). They are heart breaking and sad (long distance committed relationships).

Meh. They Cant Work.
Well, I met this girl on the internet. and it was a completely different situation.
She lived like 1 hour away from me. Another City

And Still, I didnt want to commit to that, alto' It'd be rlly easy to visit her once a week.

I keep in touch with people over the internet that I've only met a couple of times in real life before but I can't imagine being able to form any meaningful kind of relationship soley online. Maybe some people find it easier to express themselves over the internet though so maybe it could work for them.

Either way.. relationships don't always work out.

They can
I got out of a long distance relationship a few months back, but not because of the distance. And besides, we just got back together so it worked for me.

Haha AGREED.

Did you pay attention to what I even fucken said?
I know they can, I was saying not always though. Everything has it's disadvantages. SORRY. people these days. Correct me if I'm wrong. I took it as if you were stating I said they couldn't ever work out.

oooh someone got up on the wrong side of bed this morning...
geez I was just putting my views on what the topic said.
so go fuck yourself if you don't like it.

I don't really think online relationships work...although I've never been in so I probably wouldn't know!

Hahahahah =D
Sorry, I don't live in Britian.
*fucks myself*

oOOOK. People who like... date on the net is creepy. That should just not happen.

However, talking to people and stuff I think as fine. But leave it at that?

Basically; friendship=good. further=hah you have no life.

i second that

They don't work, at all. At least not for me.

doomed to fail if you ask me.

I cant fall in love with someone i havent seen, touched, smelled. Its weird how some people can. I have tried long distance (summer love) but after like 3 weeks i was sick of it. And so was he.

btw its hard enough to stay faithfull in a normal relationship...let alone when there is a whole ocean between you. Meh.

I had one once. 9th grade. no lie. my friend kyle told me to IM his friend cory cause the kid was bored, so I did. We ended up talking every night til like 2 in the morning, even on school nights. It was late for me, actually. Im in New Jersey, he was [ is? ] in Colorado. He was pretty sweet, and funny, and idk, cute? We exchanged pictures, all that jazz. We starting talking on the phone, wishing that we could meet cause we were so.. into each other? .. but then I met my -now- boyfriend, and I started hanging out with him a lot and I eventually liked him a lot more than I liked cory.

After I told Cory I had a boyfriend that I could be here with, he pretty stopped coming online and we stopped talking on the phone. Screen names changed, we lost contact. I havent talked to him in a while, though it'd be pretty neat to talk again. Maybe even meet one day, just to meet.

Online relationships are pretty lame

Never worked for me.

Never tried, I find it pathetic even though my friend's sister found her hsband on the internet.

I don't know... It sounds a little weird to me.

Long distance: usually doesn't work out, but some people get through it
Online Relationships: you've got to be out of your mind

internet relationships = losers = can not talk to a chick in person but they can 500 miles away through a computer

There is always a webcam and a mic.

or you could just walk outside and meet people face to face, outside isnt that far, just a couple of feet from the computer screen

Real people are never as nice as people I meet online.
But then I get too attached to online people and consquently lose whatever life I may have had to begin with.

And, as I may or may not have said before, hugs and kisses are nice.
E-kisses and hugs do NOT match up.

what is an e-hug or an e-kiss

It's like a <3 or a O or a x.

Or on MSN Messenger ({)(}) (K)

Basically.
Feel the love?
No, I can't either.

True. But what if the guy/girl is the one you have been dating. but he/she needs to leave the country for some reasons, you still can have a long distance relationship.

i dont agree with them
my sister got involed in one and he brainwashed her and she ran away with him
but now shes home but if she stayed...idk it would have been very bad for our family
but i think long distance is ok if u know the person and u guys kewn each other before he/she moved away

I dont think i have said this before but i think that you need to spend more time on the computer

hahahahhahahahaahahha wow, if the most your getting from your relationship is xoxoxooxoxoxoxoxooxoxox's please...please im begging you go outside and meet some people!!!
