Right, ive been going out with this guy for almost a year and 1/2, but the thing is, its an internet relationship. We live so far apart that we never get to see each other. We didnt rush into things, but i really think i love him. Like anyone else we've had up and downs.....but now im starting to believe its not going to work.....is it a good idea to stay with him, and to wait for him, or to dump him and get on with my life? I might sound mean but i really dont know wht to do....

long distance relationships do work,some times,and the same with internet relationships,again,they can work,sometimes.I think you got to ask your heart.Can you live with not having enough time for each other,is there mutual trust,can you or him get nearer to the other in the near future,or is this a permanent arrangement?Like if you never get ''together time'' what is the point?

You should move on. An internet boyfriend is virtually no boyfriend at all.
Think about it this way. You can't see him, hold him, go out on dates with him. Do you even talk to him on the phone? or is it strictly just through the internet? You don't have the same interactions that a regular relationship has. Probably the only reason that it has lasted this long is that you mostly see his good parts and not the everyday bad things that would make him not good boyfriend material.
This isn't to say that you don't have strong feelings for him. But you really should unplug your computer and find a guy that can give you all the benefits of a real relationship.

Depends I think that you should at least plan to see each other once, I actually have had an internet boyfriend for 2 years now I live in Florida he live in California but he has been my way once and Ive been his way, now we dont talk everyday usually only once a week we spend the other part of the week texting but he is a great guy and can't see myself with someone else

talking to someone and finding a person who you can have open coversations with and connect with is something that should be cherished, however, that is only one important aspect of a relationship. if you've "been together" for that long and neither of you is prepared to meet or to move to be with each other, then where do you think the relationship is going? it's important to date and go out and be able to kiss the person, hold their hand, and you can't do any of that. i can't say what is the right answer for you, but i can say that there is no way i could have a relationship with someone knowing that the most i would see them was their picture online. good luck.

If you are not going to actually be with him, you cannot really know about your future. People over the Internet are different than in person. So, you might want to continue to communicate and maybe you can actually get to know each other for real. Meanwhile, do not remain exclusuve.

Not with you. You love him but think its not going to work? Why? The distance? If you enjoy him and he does you then why break things off.

I think that if you really love him and you've spent time building a relationship, you should stick with him, because it will be worth it in the end.
