i do believe that they could work..
it would take two people who really are looking for the same thing, and really compatable, and sinceres,
The thing is, it would need more than just typing, on a computer, the telphone would be a more "real than machine support" AND as we know there are easy ways to keep up phone conversations, that are in expensive.
The other thing to think of is are they far away? =GEOGRAPHICALLY UNDESIRABLE?
if so, the long distance romance is expected to end up how?
AND If they are not far away, why can you not meet them as soon as you are sure it is safe and they are not a letch,?
if it is the thrill of just very far away, another state or country,,it is highly unrealistic,
NOT IMPOSSIBLE,
BUT THEN THIS WOULD TAKE A LOT OF RESEARCH, AND THOUGHT, and time, and reasoning,, because nomatter who you love whether next door neighbor, or an internet love of your life,
TALK IS TALK, WORDS ARE BEAUTUFUL AND who evr they are, they will be putting the best foot forward at all times, unlike when in person, the moods, attitudes, and desire, will become reality, and you can decide whether they are the right person,
where long distance, all your heart and soul, and theirs will be there,
then what,
you decide you are in love, and will travel to end of lthe earth for this person, to find out, that they are not at all as you thought, thru no fault of ltheir own, other than inexperience, lonliness, etc,
I guess i am saying that yes it is possible,
but it is the hard way,
the long way
and a bigger gamble with your heart and your life,
even if you have someone who is not on the internet, and you see regularly, it is not easy, and it is hard enough these days, to find someone who was "made for YOU"
all you need as a human, for the right partner etc,
SO THAT IS MY OPINION,, GOOD LUCK

If you met online, you should make a time to meet in person ASAP because you are not getting to know the person's true personality. It's much easier to talk to people online than face to face and it's also much easier to fake your "true self" online than in real life.
If you know each other and live far apart and trying to keep a relationship going...it's VERY HARD. Those times when you feel like you need that person and they're not there get worse as time goes on. Nothing wrong with trying it out, but if you feel any distance I can only say from experience that someone is likely thinking about another person that is closer and more convenient.
hope that helps

I think the only way a online relationship really would work is if you knew the person in real life. B/c people can lie, and you can't trust everyone on the internet. It's just not the best place to have a relationship.

No because its not real. Thats not to say that you couldnt meet someone that is incredible while online but simply carrying out an online relationship is not realistic.
You dont really know the person and are offered information that they "want" you to know. Youll never really get to know the real "them".
Its more of a fantasy. Usually it seems they offer you the absolute best picture ever taken of them, might not even be recent. Ive been attracted to concepts of people that I have met online. When I have met them, I have been miserably disappointed usually. Sometimes Ive been plasently surprised. But those were people that I met on Match.com.

I would say it really depends on the character of the people involved. Online relationships are often based on fantasy more often than reality. Getting to know someone is not just about the way they portray themselves or even the words they type but who they are when no one is looking.
Questions to consider:
How does this person treat those who serve him or her (waitresses, waitors)?
Keep promises?
Emotional baggage?
How does he or she get along with family, friends- not to mention your family and friends.
Body language says a lot about a person. My advice- online dating can be a great way to initially meet new people but not a good place to invest your heart- do that offline and over time. You have nothing to lose by respecting yourself enough to be protect your emotional assets.

Online relationships can work and most of the time, it doesn't. An online relationship can work if you and your partner can make it happen. I feel more secure having a relationship in person because I can cuddle with her and what not. I could make her feel safe, but adulation via internet? That could work, but does it really make you feel safe? Nope, you never know what'll happen. The guy may be lying to you the whole entire time.
Only if you want it to work, you may.

I dont think it can ever work .. it can be a good start but the real start is when u meet in person .. and until then u just have fear in the back of your mind coz so many of your friends have already gone thru it and have been hurt .. learn from others mistakes .. i am not saying that there are real good people on net but all i am saying is that u have to be careful and meet them in person before u want to proceed further ..

It totally can work. Me and my husband are living proof. We met on line 11 years ago and even lived in two different countries. Where there is a will, there is a way. We have been happily married for 10 years now and have 2 great kids.

eventually meet? U gave no details. I will have to say no. People are a bit ignorant. In my experience, people are more truthful online then off. And easier to be urself so the lying, and the 40 y/o perv is very very off. Only rarely, and depends on where u are. Of course, even the social and date sites do have older guys on there, but yeah.

I dont think it works because the person is most likely lying about something..and if they cant get a gf/bf in the real world then they probably arent normal so they try online dating..so the point is, its a big mistake
