isn't it silly to start a long distance relationship over the internet? What's your opinion? What it ever work

Answer 1

I once felt like the biggest loser on earth for turning to the internet to meet ladies. Well I did chat with a number of them and met two. First one I met was a real loser. However, second lady that I met we connected immediately. We live about 2.5 hours apart and see each other each and every weekend. We also talk on phone every night. The date of May 20/07 has been set for us to exchange our vows. There are a lot of losers on line so you have to be careful, both sexes must be wary. So I for one have changed my opinion of meeting a long distance, or short distance for that matter, relationship over the internet. If you are honest and able to communicate openly with the other person anything can happen. And yes I do believe now that this type of introduction can certainly work out for the best in the long run.

Answer 2

Thats not really silly. I met my bf off the internet and we are now living together in houston texas and are very happy. It just depends on how much you want the relationship to work and how bad you want it too work. We have been together for over a year and have a very good relationship. So I guess what I am saying is it all depends on the person. Good luck.

Answer 3

I've done the long-distance Internet relationship once, it was a lot of fun, very exciting for a while, but ultimately it didn't work out. I met my current fiancé online, but we lived in the same city, so it wasn't long-distance. My personal opinion - unless there's a realistic possibility of one of the parties moving to where another party lives to continue the relationship in real life, the long-distance relationship will ultimately end up complicating things and causing heart-break. There's nothing wrong with getting to know people online, but in order for it to be a real relationship, it has to cross over to the in-person realm eventually.

Answer 4

Long distance relationships take ALOT of work, I won't lie to you. But they work better if you can still see each other every some many months. Over the web is even harder, there is no real connection other then emails and IMs. It doesn't seem like "real" love. Good luck. xoxo.

Answer 5

They can work as long as both parties are committed. Of course, if 1 refuses to move then the relationship will surely end unless a compromise can be found. I can't add anymore as most of the other answers have covered this question fine.

Answer 6

its not silly infact alot of my friends have gotten married from meeting there lover over the internet. Just be very careful. see if it seems right to start a relationship over the internet.

Answer 7

Not silly, have known numerous people who meet on line and have had strong relationships. Do what seems best, but dont take people at what they say....check backgrounds, dont give info that can bite you in the *** and always take someone with you for that first face to face.

Answer 8

i dont think a relationship based off the net and a long distance one at that will ever work

Answer 9

You have to weed threw the field to find the real flowers..
That means you will hear all kinds of crap and alot of people just looking for sex and no commitment. you really have to trust your gut on things.. never ever travel to meet someone with out letting someone know where you are going and the best thing to do is to have someone go with you as back up just in case.

Answer 10

Its absolutely not silly. When I met my husband on yahoo personals, he lived 2 hours away.We MADE it work, its all about prioritizing and believeing that what you have is real. We have been happily married for 4 years now. You are NOT desperate. I say go for it, be careful and have fun!
