I myself like internet relationships because it allows people to connect on more of a emotional than a physical. And although people can pretend to be someone they're not, that only goes on for so long.
I do know some people who disapprove of internet relationships. What do you think?

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue


I agree with you on that one. But sometimes I think perhaps we make more out it than it really is. I've dated people online and they've all fallen to crap. And friends, well, when I've needed them, some of them have been there for me but inevitable just stopped talking to me because they didn't want to deal with my problems.

I think the thing about internet relationships is that it can be easily cast aside, even though we can get closer to those people than others. But it's been a good learning experience for me cause I learned how I was supposed to view real life relationships and cause me to act better in them.

They almost never work out...
I just don't hold Internet dating in high regard...
I'd rather meet someone in real life rather than Internet.

[The only problem I have with internet dating is that it can be somewhat dangerous. It is extreamly easy to lie. For example some one could say that they a seventeen year old male when they really are a forty year old *****. So you really just have to be careful about those sorts of things.]

I think one could lie in real life nearly just as easily as they could online.
But to find a real relationship, means showing the real you, no matter what the situation.

And it's easier to find someone with common interests like yours online than it would be if you saw someone cute in a crowded place.

I, for one, have an amazing relationship with Lilly, and we met on Gaia. I know the real her, and she knows the real me. 3nodding

[I know it's just easy to lie but it's almost a whole different kind of lying.

For example in real life one a forty year old man could never lie and say he was 17 and look like a 17 year old. That could never ever happen. Even with plastic surgery it's impossible and it's also very easy to tell if someone has had work done.

Granted that a 17 year old male could lie about being a rapist.

In some respects it's better and some respects it's not. Dating in real life has just as many pros and cons as dating on the internet.

Then Lilly must be very good at taking pictures, and editing them that fast through her phone. xD
And she must be using a voice changer, as I have heard her sing, and I talk to her on the phone every night. xD

It's basically the same type of lying as in real life. Internet, you can find information on anyone, so you can easily find out if they're real, or not.
And in the real world, one could be young and look good, and still rape you.

I like how you explained why. neutral

@yusono: that's where a microphone + webcam come in. And if you don't have those, you can always use a phone. And if that doesn't satisfy you then well... I guess I understand.

I have an amazing relationship with Tom. We have talked on the phone, he has used a webcam and microphone, I have used a microphone, and we met in 'real life'.
No one can tell me he is lying to me about anything.

I have nothing against them, and I think they can actually be more successful than "real life" relationships. As idk said, it's easier to find someone with common interests. The only real factor that can lead to failure, assuming both parties are being as honest as they would be in person, is distance. Not everyone can handle the absense of a physical body in a relationship, and especially over the long-term, that can lead to the couple breaking up, particularly if a more convenient partner shows up closer to home.

@idk & yusuno- I've had people lie. One online dating relationship was with a guy I met in a chat room and we rped together. Later, my friend saw that all of his profiles, msn, myspace and such were that of a girl. He still says he's a guy, but it's hard to believe him. The picture he sent could have been his roommate.

And I dated a guy who I went out to see, but the stuff that happened last summer was like that of a story book. He was always getting into fights in real life and fought like a great martial artists. rolleyes Then, supposedly I was "Hacked" and the hacker was from the same state as myself. This hacker popped up just after him and I had a fight, went into a chat room and pretended to be an ex of his. Then, supposedly, he crashed his and his friend's computers and sent a break-up email to him from my email. -_-

I asked his friend to send me the email, but for some "strange" reason it never went through.. She sent it on four different accounts. Didn't get nothing. We were even going to have her place it in a new email account as a draft, she got mad cause I was "Impatient" and didn't do it. Then she was gonna let me sign into her account. Never got that email either. confused

The only reason he believed it wasn't me was cause the hacker tried to hack into his files and he caught him, hacked him back and called the "authorities"... Oh! But that's not the best part. All of his friends believe him to be an angel incarnate. Yeah... Little messed up in the head there, don't you think? It's like an occult

I'm sure I was lied to by them as well. I was sent home after five days and then broken up with afterwards. =/ Lots of lies on the net. That's why I prefer gaia, cause I've not ever gotten such drama on here.

@Z- I read the word "successful" as "stressful" xD Which actually turns out to be true.

Internet relationships is not really a good thing depending on who u meet cus u be unlucky to meet a pyscho xp

[I'm not attacking your relationship with Lilly, IDK. However some people aren't as luck as you, they are also considerably more stupid. I also aggred with you on how anyone could be a rapist regardless of where you met them. I'm only stating that it is easier to say your someone else and have people believe you. Yes you can check to see if they're fake but people seem to do so rarely.

@Kyle: If I didn't have a webcam or speaker I would never give them my phone number, because how would I know that they aren't some crazy rapist?

Yeah, but it does work out. It's people often take looks and status of a person to start a relationship, but often for girls its the personality that brings em close. Internet relationship is alright as long as you make sure you're safe from frauds. lol And guess what, me and my girl are together via internet! We met on the internet a year or more ago, in some mmorpg called Ragnarko Online. And we're happy. mrgreen
