Can you count on what they say? Or is it all just wishful thinking or BS?
Do you have any personal experiences you can share?

I try to be honest as i can in an online relationship sometimes even more than in a real relationship.it doesnt take long to find out the real sharers from the fakes.honesty isnot the hardest part of an online relationship dear what makes an online relationship hard is access,availability,proximity.....the feelings can be real and the truth can be told...but if you get disconnected for whatever reason the legend may live but the person dies in cyberspace

In general, I have to come down on the side of bully_on, jay h and xobonita.....There is too much opportunity for abuse of trust and advantage to be taken, and that is much too tempting for many people....
There are time when the relationship can be beneficial to both, but what does it mean if it doesn't translate into real life? Just entertainment value. And many times it is entertainment value to one and heartache to the other....
There are times when the relationship can make the transition into reality, and there the relationship has as much chance as any other relationship....
On line can be a useful tool for meeting people, but by and large a person is taking a huge risk when they invest emotionally in an on line relationship.....

Have had various sorts of relationships online since 1998... some were honest and some weren't. It's just like when you meet someone in person.
Generally though, in chat rooms designed for hooking up.. no, they usually aren't.
In areas where the focus is on something else, like a club, etc. then yes, they often are.
I look at the internet as one big bar... you get a little bit of the good, the bad, the ugly.

Hi..Good question. Well I have been in two online relationship's so far. I know for myself that I have been completely honest with both of them. As for other's? Well, I think it's not if they are lying but there are alway's two side's to a story. Well the same goes for people online. We tend to see what they want to tell us. We know about all the good thing's that they have going on in there life because that is all we tend to want to know. But just like the rest of us there is the stress full side, bill's, work, anxiety, and the rest of there baggage. I think what you have to do is really be a good listener and follow there conversation. Over time you will be able to decifier in between the line's. In my relationship, actually both of them they were completely honest with me, but there are different definition's on how we interpret thing's. My relationship we were dead on with personalities, but different view's on how one expresses there love to each other. For me, I am in tune with my emotion's and tend to be more clingie and her, she was stronger more independant and that made us in her eye's atleast not compatible. So I guess what I am saying is that you need to be a good listener ask the right question's and figure thing's out for yourself. Where there is a up there is a down. Nobody's life is perfect and we don't alway's tend to want to listen to other people's problem's. Any life can be painted into a greenier lawn, than what you have. It is something you just have to figure out for yourself I guess. I don't think this help's you much but I tried....

In my opinion, most are sincere at the time they wrote their profile.... with time that has probably changed. It all depends if you met a sincere guy or not. Also, they probably have a different interpretation in their mind different of yours. Best is to take the online meeting as the starting point and then later talk on the phone and finally if you both click meet in person.

We can only hope that it not just BS. I'm talking to a guy now and we really seem to be hitting it off but I'm scared to fall for him because in the back of my mind I feel like it could all be a load of crap but I still have hope. I only hope that he doesn't have a wife and kids or a girlfriend, or a boyfriend. LOL!

I only know of 2 online relationships that worked out fine, honestly most guys like flirting online with girls just to hope to get laid if they keep it going, 3/4s of the time the things they say is really not honesty. Mail me for further questions :P

BS. Real life is facing eachother in person. That is what is wrong our society. Online is just that online. No value.
Online is just entertainment.
And no, I am not an old dude.

all i can say is so far the ladies i have talked to and met have been honest and i am honest about who i am my age and how i look --- all you can do is be wary and "read between the lines" to see if the person is being honest with you ---- best wishes
