We've never met, but we care about each other.

If you actually know that person and you got time to hangout with them then I dont see a problem if you can make it work out as it is hard. But if you dont even know this person and never met them in real life then thats just plain crazy!

i think that there are enough people in this country on-line to have a relationship with.
my biggest concern for you would be if this person is from another country, what are their true intentions? with so much terrorism in this world today, you might be setting yourself up for a momumental mistake.
here are 2 good scenarios for you. say he can't get a visitors visa to come into this country so you decide to go there. you get there not knowing anyone, not knowing the language and he turns out to be a psycho? How do you get away from him? who can help you? you don't anyone there and can't speak the language.
scenario 2: he does get a visa to visit. he stays with you for awhile. things seem normal. then you find out that he is a cell for some terrorist group. it's too late because something has already happened. could you live with that guilt if innocent people had gotten killed?
this is just food for thought.

well for different people its a differnet issue. some people that i know have a long distance relationship with people that live three hours away and there fine with it, but then again some of my friends would never have a long distance relationship because they know that if they never got to see therre boyfriend/girlfriend then they would not be able to stay faithful. i think the best descision for you is to ask yourself
1.is it worth it?
2. would i be able to stay faithful?
3. would it be a healthy relationship if i never got to meet them?
4. do you think that your spouse would be able to stay faithful?
its not a conclusion that you can just come up with over night it takes time to make sure that it is really what you want because living so far apart means having a major trust in the other person and in yourself. if you answer no to any of those then my best bet would to not put yourself into that type of situation

Its tough, but if you think its what you really want then go ahead. There are lots of benifits, over a 'standard' relationship. My best advice, be honest with yourself as well as your partner. And, do everything in your power to avoid situations that may make a distant heart jealous. I have been dating the same woman in another country for the last 2 yrs, apart from the obvious logistical problems it is the best relationship i have had in the last 10 yrs.

It's ok initially, but in the long term , to make things work, one of you would have to move to be with other. When you say different country, it could mean anything. I live technically in a different country to my fiance. I'm in Wales, he's in England. However, it's only a 2 hour drive, so weherever we live in the future, we are not far from either family or friends.

I live in the Uk and the guy lived in the USA, we talked for about a year online and I finaly went to Texas to meet him.
He was a lovely guy in every way but not in a romantic way for me.
We are still friends but nothing more and I did have a lovely 6 week holiday LOL
Sometimes it works out sometimes not.
All I will say is think very carefully about meeting him

I live in Toledo, OH. Back when I was on Match.com and said. Within 25 miles, slim or athletic build, some college, and a couple other basics I would get like a hundred hits. I can't believe you are unable to find someone who lives closer. So to answer your question, I think it is unwise but it is your decision.

You can have a nice, fun realtionship, but just take it as it comes. Most internet relationships are based on what you opt to believe of what the other tells you, so yes, you can have a good time, but don't fall into the trap of believing everything he tells you. There are little tings, on which relationships are built that cannot be seen from a monitor.
