Net Based Relationships

[RazorGTR]

What do you think. Give your honest opinion and have you ever been in one and if so how long.

I honestly would not mind a "net relationship" if i got to know the girl well, and got to call her, and talk to her online then its worth it to me. But, its also something that I don't want to do, because, souly on the fact, I'd rather be there with the girl, then sitting in front of a moniter talking to her, or having to hear her sweet voice on the phone. Other then that I would not mind. But I'd rather have a relationship in the flesh. It tends to work out better.

I think it's an good idea to a point. If you start staying home all the time just to talk to the othe rperson online, I think that'd be kinda bad. But I've been in relationships where the girl totaly smothered me, and had to be with me all the time, and that got annoying. and if I had a realtionship on the net, I could just not go online until I wanted to... But I have known people that met on the internet and they got married.

I don't trust internet relationships one bit, you could be talking to a 50 year old fat bald and ugly old man who still lives in Tennesee with his parents, not a 25 year old blond supermodel from Beverley Hills, even if they are what they say they are they still tend to lie.

I say leave internet relationships for the cyber-geeks

The say that on the 'Net nothing is real.....I've seen some people get as upset by their partners' net relationship as if it were a real one.The ironic part is,of course, that you can never have a real relationship on the net.Sure,you can look at each others picture and talk a lot but you never experience the tenderness and intimacy of a real dating encounter.It makes no sense to risk damaging a real partnership for what,in the end,is just a string of binary code from someone a long way away.

I've never had a net based relationship so I can't make comment. I've met some really great friends through the net though, so it's good for that.

I've met people on the net. I met one, and he turned out to be my most recent exboyfriend!!!

The net is great for people who are shy and can't really stand the idea of getting denied IRL. I'm very shy outside of my group of friends, so going out and actively searching out "guys" is really awkward for me. This way, I meet guys who are into cars, or ice skating, or whatever, and even if we never meet, it's still fun to get to talk with someone to get an idea of how different their perspective on life is. I mean, it's amazing talking with the Kiwi's whose culture is so drastically different from my own, or anyone elses, for that matter!

There's my spare change.

No, I have never been in one, but I would have to say that I doubt that they would work.

[DantesInferno]

I would have to ask what you considered a net based relationship to be. One that began on the Internet or one that uses the Internet as a primary means of communication?

[taranaki]

My answer assumes that,like myself,the person concerned would already be in a regular relationship,and that an Internet relationship was only considered as a lightweight diversion.

It is interesting for me to see the various opinions and justifications you have presented. I am by nature, believe it or not, shy around women but not men. I find it very easy to talk a women.

I have found love on the interent via the media of a chat service over 5 years ago. We saw each other virtually every day on line and not only conversed via type but also ran up some huge phone bills until we both were able to get voice chats going. Snail mail and emails poured back and forth for over a year until we met in person. All the mean time casual converstations turned into love. How can it turn into love you may think? Well there was a true connection as I was able to not only read the type but also feel the emtions and even knew without asking her state of mind, whether or not she was in pain or happy. Many times even before we came on line together. There was a definate connection of souls if you will.

She flew to meet me in person 4 years ago this coming Jan 24th. She stayed a month and then flew back. That month was like heaven. Complete bliss without a care in the world. I in turn flew to New Zealand on May 24th, 1998 and fell for the country and decided to live here. Even though our physical relationship ended back in June of last year I remained here.

I beleive love on the interent and interent relations are real. They can and do happen. More often than not they end before it is taken off the world of electrons and wires. Some make it as far as mine did for 3 years others die quicker. There have been a few that have went further and are still going.

One thing for sure that an interent relation can give you is the ability to see whether or not you are even compatable with converstaions. If you can not converse then obvisiously there is no reason to persue it beyond this relm. It takes both parties to be fully open and fully honest because if you are not then when it comes time to take that next step and go beyond here your world will come crashing down.

I met my most recent ex on the net.

We talked for only a short time before we met because we lived in the same town.

Although I had her phone number i still talked to her alot more on here.

It was good while it lasted and Ive got no regrets.

The good bit is now that we have broken up we can completley ignore each other, and hopefulyl never see her again (thats how messy the break up was)

The net is just another tool to meet people. I dont think its should be used exclusively to make a relationship, but it can certainly by a useful medium.

I agree with Yogs

Ya see, in the end its all about people, what isnt?

Some people just cant connect with people over the internet, i for one couldnt deal with not being able to see the girl in person and go places, but on the other hand im insanely shy, soooo looks like im screwed

[Psman32@af]

i cant say i have except when i was like 13. I vote for everything cause it can do all of them. i can say ive met people over the net that id love to go out with, but i havent been in a net relationship with them.
