OKAY you GDers, be SUPER SERIAL for this question:

What is your opinion on online relationships?
I'm not talking about the "GURLZ IN SHOWRZ, BOIS SNEKE IN LOLOLWTF?" topics where hords of noobs gather round and either rape women in bathrooms or cages that pop out of nowhere, NO! I speak of relationships in the boyfriend/girlfriend sense, where one feels sexually attracted, and an emotional bond is established through two people over the medium that is THE INTRANETS.

What say you?

Doesn't bother me.
I know they can work out and I know that they can also not work.
A good number of my friends met their boy/girlfriend online and have been doing just fine.. and there are also ones that are now married, with children, living happily together. So.. if a person wants it.. go for it.
The only thing I worry about is people being careless and ending up with someone that's dangerous.


I guess I'm kind of in one.. but I'm not really sure.
I've really no clue exactly what this is.
I've been talking to this guy for quite some time and at some point I ended up wanting to be with him.
..aaand.. yeah..
This isn't something that's going to stay online. We're going to meet as soon as we can and just.. visit.
We know how we want things between us to go but we're just going to take our time, get to know each other better in person, and then just see how everything works out in the future.

Have you seen the movie Hard Candy?

I don't like internet dating. I think it's stupid.
It's just as stupid as those 'Love' shows. . even though I do like 'Flavor of Looove'. ;D

People who want to date over the internet. . must be pretty lonely.

I know a couple who met online in a chat room and got married. It was really sort of sweet, and they're perfect for one another.

I think that people are crazy and there has to be a lot of precautions taken when you start to look for a bf/gf online. You never know who this person actually is.

As for legitimacy, I totally think it can work and work well. I think it's like a long distance relationship in a number of ways - from limited to contact to actual, physical distance. It requires work, more work than if you saw the person regularly. It can be just as fickle or more so as love/like/lust/infatuation in person.

As long as you know who is at the other end of you're conversation and you're being yourself when you talk with him/her.

i think it's fine to have an online relationship with someone. just make sure you know who you're talking to and be safe. other then that, i say go for it.

I agree with everyone pretty much.
There are some cases in which they work, and some when they don't.
You just have to be careful.

They can work but they , for obvious reasons, tend to be alot more risky.

But personally I find relationships to be a waste of time.

I don't think long distance relationships are a good idea.
And online relationships are just toned-down versions of long distance ones, right?

I don't know, I think there has to be some sort of physical component in addition to the emotional one.
You can't just have either or; it won't be a whole relationship.

I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I mean, I dated about five times over the internet. I'm over that phase now, but for kids who don't have much luck in the real world, reality can reach them on their computer.

Not my thing. I'd rather talk to them in person than on the computer. Besides you never know if this person is actually what they say.

Depends on the age. When you're out of college, and still have not met "The One," then it's ok to check online. College students and younger it's pointless because someone still has the chance to meet "The One" later in their life.

Well it might have been obvious but lets just say that it usually doesnt work out too well.Not too mention people are offended by everything nowadays .And while I don't really show any signs.And honestly, I find trying to get a relationship online to be a even bigger joke.
