ok...im fed of all the 'do internet relationships work,blah blah' questions on here lets just thrash this subject out once and for all...lay it all out on the line...whatever you think...dont give me advise please im just hunky dory...just state your piece...maybe others will read it and it will lessen the amount of angst people seem to have...
my own opinion is...if you have to ask...dont do it...if you can handle it go for it...the best thing is that you can get to know someone quite well with few inhibitions...the worst is that often these things cant be realised...although sometimes they can...;0)

the best thing about internet relationships is probably the contact... couples in 'normal' relationships usually see each other every day, and its easy to get into a complacent routine… go to work, come home, eat dinner, sit in front of the tv and go to sleep… repeat til fade… but do they really talk and listen to each other?
online relationship don't have the same physical closeness, thus its got to be made up in different ways, usually by the emotional side… I think people online share far more.. they've got to talk about their day, what they've got up to and how everything's going, its one of the driving forces of the relationship… people online can easily write reams of text in a week to one another, could people in a 'real' relationship really say they communicate that much, in a month, or even a year? and often because its virtual, people are a lot more open… willing to say things they possibly wouldn't face to face…and communicate in a much deeper way...
the bad sides are that crap day, when all you want is a hug from the person you care about, for somebody to hold you.. to look into somebody's eyes… words don't have to be exchanged.. but those simple things can sometimes mean the most.. the post sex cigarette can also be pretty lonely too...
sorry... bit of a ramble..

Best thing is you get to know the person fairly quickly without any awkward silences. Worst thing is the Internet is all around us and jealousy can start everytime you log back onto the website where you met. But i have met someone online and even found some happiness but you have to be careful as there are a lot of wierdo's out there!

I don't see the point in cyber sex although I've been asked to indulge in it many times what's the point of fantasizing with a burd you've never seen or met? I'm afraid I'd imagine an old wrinkly pounding away at the keyboard and sweating her fat R'se off thinking she's found cyber love with a vibrator, they must be sickos? but I don't mind a genuine corrospondance, then taking the car up/down the motorway for a quick hit and run,

The best things about it is that you get to know more about the person by writing questions, while you don't get into so many arguments over where you're gonna go this weekend. Also, it makes those time that your are together that much more special. Wouldn't want to have a long distance girlfriend for more than a year or so though.

Personally I wouldn't consider it as people are not honest as they would be if you met them face to face. The kb acts as a sheild so you can flirt and be quite safe in anonymity. A person meets someone and it works either through a dating service online or whatever then fine but I think people can say anything and it takes someone with balls the size of Hawaii and the brain the size of a peanut to meet up and find out.

The best thing is that you don't waste time and money wining and dining them before getting them into bed ... and if you don't send them a photo, you can make believe you're Brad Pitt or George Clooney or someone
The worst thing is that you never have anything physical ... it's all very well typing stuff about sex but I prefer touching and doing!!
The very best thing of all though is that my wife never finds out!!
You really are having a lazy day today aren't you? ;-)

Apart from it being a bit sleazy and sordid. Bashing one out with 1 hand whilst typing with the other. Bet your keyboard is a right sticky mess
Wasnt making any personal assumptions. You asked for views on having an online lover. I gave you mine. If your not prepared to hear answers dont ask questions

Pros:
Escape from boredom.
Mind-blowing cybersex.
None of the trappings of an actual relationship.
Cons:
You might never get to meet each other in person.
Could get boring after a while.

I love it you spend good quality time together but you cant be with each other but you make the best of it. It is better then nothing.
