I've been married for over 4 years to a Swede I met online 7 years ago. Online relationships can and do work, but you have to find the right person, be willing to compromise, and state what you want up front. If the relationship gets serious and the two of you don't live close to one another, who will move and is the other partner okay with this? Guidelines have to be agreed upon for when you are apart . . how much freedom the other can have to dating people in person. Sometimes a level of dependency exists for awhile if one partner moves (especially overseas) and doesn't immediately have a job, and this can cause problems for both of you. Check out the person's background completely (use Google, talk to their friends, maybe even a background check) and make sure they are exactly who they say they are. Often online relationships are stronger than those of people that meet in a pub, club, or some other random place . . but trust is really important. Follow your heart, but make sure everything checks out and communication is fluent between the two of you.

Be it internet or assembly in a pub or at a celebration or at place of work or in a disco, those are purely possibilities to make a splash and commence a courting. internet has quite a few reward though. you'll publise their likes and dislikes and pastimes for quite a few human beings to browse making it extra probable for well matched human beings to get to gether. contained in the top though the most important ingredient is that the chemistry between 2 persons after assembly sparks a hearth of romance, pastime and mutual expertise. There are lot of predators on the web pretty for the more youthful ones. So there are down aspects besides....

I would have to believe it could! Just because it did not go well for someone else, does not mean it will be the same for you! You just never know....I know people who have lived in the same town all their lives and that factor alone does not guarantee a relationship will work.
If you two have been talking for three years, you obviously know one another well, so what is the worst that could happen? You will just have finally met your wonderful friend.
A person can never care for too many people or have too many people care for them...you will never know if it will work until you try!
*BTW...I have been right where you are now...it did not work out for us, but I have a wonderful friend, and I would do it over again :)
I wish you the best!!!!

My bestfriend's getting married with a guy she met on the internet - they've been together for 2 years. I had "cyberboyfriends" and it turned out sooooo bad. Now, I'm with someone who's showing by actions that his feelings may be real after all, so I'm not sure yet what to answer. [There are lots of relationships that worked out via an initial meeting on the internet.] Good luck! :)

i met my boyfriend of 5 yrs on the internet and its been working out great. hes the best thing that ever happened to me. hes a great to my kids. but be careful not everything is what it seems it would be for the best to meet for the first time in a public place and let a friend or family member know where and when. take things slow and stay safe.

I think they can, I know a few people who met online and got married, I think the fact that it has been three years makes it pretty likely that it will work, because you probably know the person pretty well already.

it will work out only if both of you are serious and really want this relationship.you have known this guy and loved him but haven't seen him which means you have faith in him and so does he. so there is definitely something very strong and when you see each other it is going to be something even more. that is rue love my dear .yes it will work out.

7 years..... flew back and forth for 3 years.....didn't work out.
95% of them won't.
My advice.....find someone that lives in your own city to rip your heart out and stomp all over it, at least you get the benefit of a few more free dinners and more sex before they leave.

I think it does not work out. They can talk openly but you do not know their emotion. I wrote it coz emotion expresses the person.
Anyway, who knows it works.

No. It did not work out. It was too perfect to be true. Expectations were entirely, distorted.
