Sometimes the people who are our best matches don't live right under our noses.
The internet can be a wonderful thing. Think of all the people (good, and yes bad too) that we would never otherwise have come in contact with.
The bad thing about online "dating" is that it leaves much room for dishonesty; on the plus side, there's little to do but chat, so the two of you are definitely communicating---hopefully, both of you are doing so honestly. There is no better way to get to know someone than by talking to them.
Six hours is a relatively short distance, all things considered. You don't mention how old you are. You do of course know you need to be careful, but even more so if you're a teenager. Any potential meeting between the two of you must take place in a public area where other people are present.
I don't see anything wrong with internet dating unless someone is out to take advantage of or scam someone. You just need to know the difference.

Internet dating is really no different than any other dating. The people you meet on the net live in the real world too, they have jobs, go to church, hang out with their friends, go to the store, etc.
It has it's ups and downs, just like offline dating does.
LDR's? It depends. How far is it, how often do you see each other, and is it a spiritual union? You should be OK at six hours away, just try to see each other often enough to maintain that attraction.
If it is a spiritual union I have a little more faith that both parties are going to stick together and be loyal. People that wait until marriage to have sex are usually really in love and what God has brought together, let no man put asunder.

Well, I am currently in a long distance relationship. We were together for about a year, then we both went off to college. and we have been together long distance for about 6 months. He is on the other side of the country than me and i see him about once every three months. It is hard i am not going to lie to you. But 6 hours isnt so bad. Taking on the phone is a must though! but give it a try..you have to be honest and trusting to do it though!

If you love each other, it will work. But you need to have some sort of agreement as to who will make the move in the future. If none of you are planning on moving, it will never work. Long distance relationships are very difficult after a year. Also, call each other at least 3 times a week to stay in each other's lives.

My boyfriend, now husband, and I met over the internet and survived a four year relationship at least 3 hours away from each other.
Ways to make it survive:
--Communicate through snail mail in addition to emails and phone calls.
--You EACH have to make efforts to see each other. Seeing each other every day isn't going to help your relationship. Be realistic and take the time to enjoy the time you spend together.
--Don't get ahead of yourself. Don't plan the wedding just yet. For now just enjoy the time with each other. Don't asusme anything. We don't know what will happen tomorrow.
What NOT to do:
--Don't lose your trust or your honesty. You live 6 hours away. Is he going to cheat? Maybe. Do you trust him? Then he won't cheat and you don't need to worry about him. ALWAYS TRUST HIM!
--Don't let yourself OR your new beau be the only one who travels. If you don't have time in your schedules to travel, put the relationship on hold.
--Don't talk about marriage. Not yet.

A relationship is hard enough, so being in a long distance relationship is even tougher. You really have to nurture it, and be committed to each other. It's hard to build a strong foundation if you guys are apart. I'm not saying that it can't happen, but it takes a LOT of work from both sides. Good luck to you!

i think that of this is true love, your relationship should be no problem. just make sure that you trust him enough to be 6 hours away. as long as u guys r in a great deal of contact, your relationship should run smoothly. i honestly dont believe in long distance relationships, unless they involve true love and people who really trust each other.

Internet dating is only for the very desperate. Long distance relationships are great, if you like spending most of your time lonely.

I personally wouldn't want that. I love seeing my boyfriend everyday. i would hate not being able to see him and hug him all the time. how do you know a long distance relationship would work? How do you know he would not cheating on you?
