Internet relationships

I didn't know whether to put this here or in "Sirius debate" but yeah, it's here now.

So, do you think it's possible for them to work? As in meeting someone online and getting close to them and then meeting them after a while. Then meeting them every so often, every couple of months or something.

I'll post what I think later.

wasn't this made before? :unsure:

and i think it depends on the people......cause sometimes they may work out and sometimes they might not just like a real relationship *shrugs*

Its kinda funny to me wen i see people having "relationships" on the internet, especially young kids, but I kind of dont mins if 40 yearolds try to hook up like that, coz those guys dont got nothing to loose. :unsure:

Internet is for: music, info, resources for studies, and just discussions wich u dont usually go deep into in real life (in some cases of course), its not for socialising.

yea it could work if they live in the same city lol

it might work, but the relation doesn't have to start on the internet. but you get in touch on the internet, then meet each other, and then start to like each other and get a relationship

That kind of relationships can work for 30-40-50 year old people who had enuff in their lives and know that distance cant vanish their love. But when u teen yet, distance just dont work.

lol, it was made before i think..

but anyway i've got no idea, i've heard bout people who had internet relationships and then met in the real life and blah blah blah, got married and so on.. :sweating:

it seems like sometimes it can work out, sometimes not.. it can be also for fun only, if you ain't got nothin better to do at the moment.. :sweating:

if someone wants to have such relationship, they you know.. it's their choice, but sometimes people take it very seriously.. :confusion:

totally for it. but the problem is, only certain people are suited for it. and the people who are suited for it are the ones who already have bf/gf in real life. the people who usually do online relationships are generally an emotional mess and an internet relationship is NOT for them. but I do think there is positive aspects for it. I don't know if this is common or not but if the couple isn't just sending naked pictures back and forth, you get a chance to develop your friendship without the sexual tension. Cause a lot of times it's the opposite in real life and you end up movin in together and you realize you aint friends, you just liked hookin up. You NEED to be friends for a relationship to last and i think the internet is a good way to figure this out. But again, the people who are mature enough to handle an internet relationship probably dont look at the computer as a means for finding one.

Well, I think they can work. I'm talking about meeting someone online and thennn having a relationship from there. My aunt got married to someone she met online and the guy was only in his twenties, lol. I know of a lot of younger people who met online, too. I'm sort of in one myself. I talk to the girl on the phone a lot, both of our families know about it (and are supportive) and we're going to meet within the next couple of months. I'm actually really serious about her and I don't want an immature relationship. I'm willing to give it 110%, because I really do think it could work out. I didn't, you know, come online and think "oh, I want to meet a girl online," and in actuality I looked down upon meeting people online. I thought it was irresponsible, sad, pathetic and just didn't think it was right. Maaaan, that changed.

I think it really depends on how serious you are about it. Some people meet people from online just to fuck or whatever. That's not me. It's just like "real life" it either works or it doesn't, simple. I'm getting my own life sorted out before going to meet the girl. I'm taking it all slowly and sort of trying to piece it all together.

Totally agree. Well said.

^^i agree...but i think its a good way of meetin ppl not purposly 4 bf's or gf's but if the person is really hu u think they r they kno u 4 u not ur looks an u make frends with ppl that mayb in the real world u wud never talk 2 so u kno ppl by their personality an stuff that matters..i think relation ships cud work..but it wud b sooo hard fallin in deeep love with sum1 if u cud never actually see them,that'd b the worst pain ever!

but i think it is a good way of meetin ppl nt purposly as it alreadu sed

Like me lmao

Exactly. That's why I say don't have boyfriends or girlfriends cos you may never actually meet 'em and if they seemed a person that was perfect for you, you could get kinda upset if you could never possibly be friends with this person. There are people I actually would meet in real life. I mean.....they're just as normal as I am. Clearly they ain't a pedofile or anything...

Yeah, but what if you're 100% positive that you ARE going to meet the person? I met a girl (as said before) online and I'm 100% positive I'm going to meet her (I know where I'm going to stay for the while I'm there, I have it pretty much all planned out). People go on about people being bad people or something, but it could happen in the street, too. You could come across someone random who you really like but they end up being a complete dick, or even a murderer.

Don't get me wrong if you come online only to meet "a partner" then when you finally happen to meet someone you're interested in then it's only going to be for these reasons:

1. They gave you attention, which you probably don't get in "real life".
2. You're clinging on to the first person that seems like there could be a future with.
3. They're good with words, and fill you full of bullshit.

But I DID NOT come online looking for someone and I thought it was low to get attatched to someone online. What happend to me was random, therefore it's real. I didn't MAKE it happen. If I MADE it happen these feelings would be a state of mind and not an emotion.

In my opinion, internet relationships are just like any other relationship. Either they work or they don't work. The people connect with each other or the people do not connect with each other.
