  • I believe so. Some ABers have met each other and fallen in love with each other through Answerbag :) Of course, not all online relationships work. But we can say the same thing for offline relationships. When it comes to relationships, there's no one surefire formula to make it work.
  • Sure... They can... See my answers at the following: Do you believe in net friendship? - http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3001185 Do you think on line dating is the right way to meet someone? - http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2564385 Is it practical to tell someone you met online that you love them? - http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2307008
  • not more than a moment. that is unless you meet and have an off-line relationship
  • i had an online relationship *shudders at the memory* he was unbeliveably sweet, then on the day i was oging to ask if we should meet up he goes ''i love you but i need some time to think about a few things" retard hasnt spoken to me since, and the worst part is, im absolutely shattered... >.<
  • Online they might but what about off line?
  • I suppose they could work as well as any.
  • Theres nothing saying it cant work. :)
  • They can.
  • I think with certain people, it's possible. Personally though, it would never work for me. I need to have someone that I know can be here in a heartbeat and spend lots of time with. I don't think online is a proper relationship if you can't be with them whenever.
  • I know phone relationships don't....
  • They won't really work until we have ubiquitous full body VR via the internet. Then they may become the norm.
  • Depends what you want out of the relationship.
  • if both parties have been honest in depicting themselves, then yes, it can turn into something real after they meet. BUT, in most cases ( ithink) there are a lot of lies being thrown around. Women tend to lie about their weight, men tend to lie about what they are looking for.
  • Depends on the situation of the relationship...how long it's "online" only for and how far apart you are. I broke up with my ex and signed up for a dating site...went on a couple dates with some real winners online...and was just about to give up when one guy messaged me. He was a bit younger and I was going to ignore it. Thankfully I didn't. I messaged him and we talked well into the night via IM found out we had a lot in common and talked on the phone the next night. A week later we went on a date and the rest is history. We are getting married on November 1, 2009.
  • Yeah me and my five year old girl friend have never been happier!
  • Ours is working off-line...
  • I think they can work. But just as in real life, you shouldn't be looking for love too much. It comes when you least expect it. I met my girlfriend in an online club environment (Second Life), we started talking as friends, then a month later we took it onto messenger with webcam, and we started talking on the phone as well. At least 3 hours, up to 8 or more hours per day. Now, 13 months later, we have met each other in real life for 10 days in November '08. With the next trip coming up in March '09. We both believe that we're meant to be, and we'll do anything to get together. I live in Rotterdam, Netherlands and she lives in Memphis, USA. So we're 4500 miles apart.
  • Many people experience love at first sight, have sex then a few days/months later move on after they have found the other person to be incompatible. Not like minds. . When meeting people online you rely on communication. You grow to be attracted to their mind and their behavior. Later after you meet in person you can decide if you like them physically or not but you may find the attraction you have for their mind supersedes your reaction to their body. The mind is the most important feature in a relationship as it outlasts the body and the physical relationship. The mind is a powerful erogenous zone.
  • The relationship can start online but eventually you'll have to get to know the person in real life. At that point, you can assess where the relationship will go.
  • A friend of mine dated a guy online for two years. He ended up moving from america to australia to be with her. They're married now and sooo happy!! When it's right it's right.
  • if u meet up wif them yes if u dnt then no coz ive been in a online relationship n it didnt wrk owt but ive bin in a online relationship met up wif da lad nd its worked owt im in a happy relationship wif em nw............x
  • Not in my expierences. I was used and lied to when I met him in person. He used me for a blowjob. Jerk. Anyways I wouldn't try it if I were u.
