i've met a wonderful person on here and so far think we could have a future,but i have reservations....we've been chatting on here for a while,with web cam,and have now moved on to phone calls.....we are planning to meet in a couple of months if all goes well......
he is sure that we are made for each other and may be he's right,we do have alot in common and like alot of the same things,as well as have a similar out look on things.....i'm not sure if internet relationships can work.....on here it all sounds great,but what is the reality.....if any one has any experience with this,either good or bad please let me know
it wont stop things carrying on,but it could warn me of the possible pit falls or give me hope that he's right and it can work.... thank you

Hi, yes they can work. The fact that you have now spoken on the phone must surely mean he is genuine? I met my husband through Yahoo Personals, we exchanged a couple of emails, spoke on the phone and agreed to meet. We knew straight away we were made for each other and he moved in just a month later, we got married 18 months later and are very happy - he is my soulmate and I am his. All I would say to you is don't got to meet him with any preconceived ideas of what he is like, or that he is 'the one' that way you will not be disappointed. I think you should have an open mind and be prepared that, possibly, he is not the 'right one' as it is very different meeting someone as opposed to exchanging emails. Best of Luck and I wish you every happiness.

I met my boy-friend on the internet one year ago.
In my opinion, you can *meet* someone on the internet. You can even get to know him a bit - but before you met in person, you can't be sure that it is the right one for you.
I think a "internet" relationship can only survive when you at least *occasionally* meet - every two weeks maybe.
I don't think a relationship can work when you never meet - it is maybe ok for the first couple of weeks but then it gets depressing - because for my part, chatting or phoning with someone is not the same as being in a real relationship.
For me it would not be satisfying and I would insist on a date.
Good luck!!!

hey babes - well I had a fantastic relationship a few years back wth a guy i met online. however even though It all seems very romantic and dreamy with the webchats and phone calls and first few meetings - it gets tougher as it goes on!! Particularly if you dont live too near this person! there was about 3 hours drive between me and the guy I met and whilst for 4 months it was fantastic, we got tired of the travelling every weekend to meet each other, and it eventually got too much and we broke up.
However on the other hand - we spent so much time getting to know each other over the net, it was probably one of the most comfortable and best friend based relationships Ive ever had - so my advice to you is dont mistake love for infactuation - take your time with this guy and dont rush things!
Good luck

Hey girl-I met someone on myspace-we did the same-e-mail, then IM, then webcam, the phone conversations, then we finally met in person. We seemed perfect for each other. We started seeing each other for a couple of months, but it didnt work out. He was a great guy-dont get me wrong, but all the fizzel......fizzeled out. Nothing can replace the one on one, human contact-if you meet and there's a feeling that maybe its not right-give it a week-if the feeling is still there-GET OUT. Just be careful-and follow your heart. It's really no different than meeting the regular way-except for the first time-take a friend-cause you never know-webcam or no webcam-just be safe!!
