Do you think you can ACTUALLY get close to someone half a world away, and keep that connection alive without meeting? And can this type of relationship be satisfying and fulfilling, or is everyone involved in them just mindf*cking themselves?!

It is very hard to make a real connection with someone on the Internet without meeting them.
I met someone online 4 years ago (in a different country) and little did I know that I would end up moving to marry them. It's been an amazing story.
However, if we had never met in person (several times) it never would've happened. We would've just been digital 'pen pals' for awhile and perhaps moved on from each other.
There are a lot of fakes out there on the Internet these days. It's very natural (and very good) to want to be able to see someone else in person a short while after you've been communicating online with them.
If you never meet them in person, don't expect much out of the relationship - it's just not the same.

I am a firm believer in getting to know some on before you actually become intamit. So you can really get to know some one threw communication. On the internet you can be any one you want to be. How would the other person know? See I can be a famous singer I can clam to be any one I want to be and you do not know me from Joe blow. I can tell you any thing I think you want to here. I feel chemistry is a great way to deside if this person is right for you . A hand shake a look in the eyes a gental kiss. Dating was established for this reason. You go one a date it was a flop you go home no worse for where. On the other hand on line you can fall in love with a falise. A hope a thought a make believe reality. What ever this person is potraying to be. With human they beiguine to show there true colors after you have been dating for about a year and all the sudden you realize this is not the person I fell in love with. To answer your question . My answer is, No!

Hi!
I am in a situation like that and I cannot explain to you how hard is it to know ANYTHING when you are a world apart and never spent a second physically together! I keep fighting and doubting my partner and it came to that point that I would rather not talk to him at all for a month until I can finally afford a vacation and go see him. I think if you ahve a choice DON'T do it! it'sdefinitely by far the HARDEST relationship kind I know of. Good luck!

The possibility is real as long as you accept this connection for what it is. It is not a flesh and blood person that you can hug and touch and have a physical relationship with. However, you can have a wonderful, loving, close relationship based in words and a sharing of the mind and soul. Just because you can't touch one another's bodies doesn't mean you can't touch one another's mind, soul, and spirit.
Love comes in many ways. Don't limit yourself to just those that you physically connect with.

You can't make a real connection with someone unless you meet them in person. If you live in the US there are plenty of dating websites like yahoo.com, match.com, or even Myspace.com. The people you meet will most likely be from your area and you can actually get a real connection with them once you meet

Yes, I have this "relationship", just friends, but we are good friends and she lives in Arizona and I live in California. We have never meet, but we talk about a lot of things. She is someone I think I could trust. Its just a comfort ting, who you like to talk to over the internet

yes.. it is very possible..but dont use those dating sites and companies that make all those big promises.. they are only in for the money... when you find someone, keep connected and open minded. it WILL work.. i know.
