Well, I had an online relationship for about 2 years. I know it's silly, but I fell in love with him. I met him once in real life and he was great. But then, time goes by and I got older, never got to see him again, and I realized that HE was never going to do anything to be closer to me, so it just went downhill. Another things is, as weird as it sounds, you're not falling in love with a real person, you're falling in love with a smiley. I only saw him once, not enough to develop a mental picture of him. Then he shows me his picture and I'm like, "This is the guy I'm in love with?" Your mind doesn't understand it or something.
So yeah, if he had been able to move closer maybe a year or two ago, something might have happened, but if that person is not willing to make an effort to move closer to you, then it's not going to go anywhere. I guess my point is, long-distance relationships are very hard. If you met someone on the net who lived closer then something might happen.
Then again, who knows, something still might happen with us. We still talk and I still have feelings for him. He still has feelings for me. One thing still hasn't changed though, and that's the fact that he's not able to move closer. I know you're probably thinking, "Well you could move closer to him." Well, I actually made the effort to go and see him, he never returned the favor. He also never told his parents about me because he's afraid of getting into trouble.
So yeah, my advice to you, don't get involved in an online relationship. They seem so easy to have! With me, I've never had any self-esteem whatsoever, so when I showed this guy my picture (made sure it was a good picture of me, so he didn't have a chance to see anything bad about me) his response was, "OMG, you're beautiful." So of course I'm going to start having feelings for him. He's the first guy to ever tell me this!
So yeah, you need to be with someone in real life that you can fall in love with COMPLETELY. I don't care what people say, appearances are important. You can't just fall in love with a personality. You need to have them there to see, touch, smell, etc. This way, you know who they are. Even when I hear him on voice chat, it doesn't click in my mind that it's the same person. To me, I'm in love with one thing, and then when I hear or see him, it's not the same person to me.

I think it's definitely possible. I was in a 5-year-long relationship with a man I met in a chat room. We were long distance for 2 years, lived together for 3. The fact we'd met online had nothing to do with why we broke up though .. we'd just grown apart over those 5 years.
I still believe in online dating - using online dating services is better than chat rooms though. You can remain anonymous until you're ready to meet, and it's easier to meet local singles that way.
My #1 piece of advice - if you use online dating services - when you're ready to meet, always meet in public for the first few dates. Don't tell them where you live or give them any really personal information until you feel sure you are comfortable around them.

a couple months ago i would have laughed at such a question. After being on Q & A for a while,..i've found out just how wrong i could be,..and about just how many surprises life holds for us all. Yes,..i think it is possible and i'm sure it has happened on here before. love is always a little scary for all of us,..it deals with your most vulnerable emotions. The ones that make or break our hearts.

the internet is any incorrect thank you to fulfill people. I met my husband in the chat room. All i can assert is that it somewhat is quite complicated to comprehend and make out if the different individual is powerful till you extremely comprehend the information and meet the guy in individual in real existence. there is not any call as "internet love" - love is the sensation, that could come once you communicate to the guy, once you experience the guy, once you spot and experience him! just to love the guy without seeing or assembly him in certainty is impossible. it somewhat isn't love, yet there is a few constructive feeling which you stumbled on some thing you have an activity in, or needed in from the different individual. after all, suitable of success to you!!! _

Anything is possible. My Fiance and I met over an e-mail and we have been together for over a year and we feel like we've known each other all our lives. You just gotta watch out because there are bad people out there. I just got very lucky.

yep it can happen..we know a lot of couples who have made strong relationships through meeting initially online..the key is to eventually MEET IRL though...if you have been chatting to someone for weeks or even months and you havent met yet then thats where the issues start
