Is it crazy for 2 adults to have an internet relationship? Is it realistic or am I being delusional?

Answer 1

enjoy it.
Why not.

Answer 2

Your question is somewhat broad. However, keep in mind that an online relationship is very high risk for obvious and not so obvious reasons. People can be whomever they want to be in that little pop up window. When the relationship goes offline, the veneer begins to crack because there is no longer a smoke screen to hide behind...a person can only act for so long and then you get to see just what they are made off. Anyone can share their best traits with you on a computer but chances are in the real world in real situations, they aren't so great/desireable/wonderful/kind/pleasant/or funny. I think the only way to determine if it will work is to spend real time together and see where the chemistry is at.

Answer 3

It depends on whether or not it is stricttly over the internet. If you see yourself as one day being together and that this is only a phase then I say best of luck to you. My relationship started as an internet relationship and then I finally got the courage to got meet my now wonderful fiance. I think that unless the internet relationship is temporary your bound for heartbreak. That physical touch and presence is needed, at least I believe, in any relationship. Words are great but you cant attatch a feeling to a great big hug or kiss.

Answer 4

Hello, i would like to both agree and disagree with your answer, firstly, it is entirely possible for two people to have a connection on the internet - even in the wierdest of places, my friend met her now fiance on ebay for godsake!! And I have also met some very special people on the internet. However, i cannot say that a "relationship" is possible, because for a relationship you need that connection, the hug and kiss before bed etc.

I would warn you of caution of falling for somebody on the internet without meeting them first - it is possible and unfortunatly on the internet people may not be who they actually say they are - so you are actually falling in love with a "persona" something which isnt actually true.

I think the best advice i could give you if you are taking up this idea of internet dating is - dont talk for endless hours, spending hundreds of pounds on phone calls and text msgs before meeting - you will create this "wow" factor about this person and unfortunatly this person isnt Kate Moss and will not match up to your "wow" factor, so although you will need to talk to them for a good time - perhaps a couple of weeks before meeting, dont leave it a long time - meet soon, in a PUBLIC place and get to know each other.


Long distance relationships aren't always the easiest - so although on their profile it may seem "oh this persons only 70 miles from me" can you really travel that multiple times per week - can you even afford to travel that multiple times per week... you also need to be willing to give and take in this sort of situation, and believe me in a long distance relationship once a "doubt" is impregnated in your mind it will grow and grow until you crack up.


When meeting this person - just make sure you remember that you meet in a PUBLIC place in DAYLIGHT hours - making sure a FRIEND knows where and who you are with, and can also act as a alibi should you need one, keep your mobile phone top-ed up with credit and battery charged, make your own way too and from the place,.


So in short - yes a Internet relationship IS possible so long as you are both totally upfront about what you are after - and you meet soon, however its not possible if you are creating a new persona - delusional? Probably not, but if this person seems too good to be true, believe me they really are.

Answer 5

No it's not crazy. It is safe, and secure, a good way to get back into relationships, quite a bit has changed since you were young and first dating.

It may never go anywhere, maybe thats what you want is just someone to talk to. Perhaps you are looking for romance, if that is the case, at some point you will have to meet in person.

Answer 6

you don't say if you have a real relationship as well as this virtual one. Either way I'd say it's poisonous. How will you ever learn to be with a person if you keep so much distance you can both pretend to be perfect. We are here to experience life, love, getting hurt and learning. You'l come a cropper somehow as life won't let you sit on the side lines too scared to get into the game.

Answer 7

In today's age, it's perfectly normal and possible. There are so many people that haven gotten married to someone they met on the internet, or have had a long relationship with someone on the internet. If you are happy, than it's not crazy!

Answer 8

Noooooo...it's not crazy! It's just another way of meeting someone. I think that in some ways it's even better...you're getting to know the person through words and their personality. If you feel strongly about them over the internet then can you imagine wht it would be like when you met in person?

Answer 9

The only thing you really have to worry about is who you are talking to who they say they are. Personaly i'm in a internet relationship and its going very well, also i'm only a teen so it might be different for adults. But go with what feels right.
:)

Answer 10

You could use a dose of reality. Internet "relationships" usually do not work if the 2 adults are already in commited relationships and are "cheating" online. If you are single, and want to met someone, go ahead, but be very, very careful.

Answer 11

Let me ask you this and then you can answer your own question..can you live without holding them and kissing them and just making love with them??? If you can go for it !!!! It is not crazy at all unless you dont ever plan on meeting the other person then why waste your time and energy go find someone else that you can hold tight not just mentally but physically too
