Question Relationship questions.

Wow, I have not posted here in a long time. I guess I need to pay more attention.

Well, lets get to the point. I have a question to ask all of you, regarding a long distance, online relationship.

Please, if you reply, dont post some BS answer.

I "met" this girl a few months ago online. She has a great personality, which I adore. We talk almost every night online, and I call her 3-4 times a week. I look foreward to talking to her every day. I would eventually like to meet her in person, and see what happens from there.

Has anyone been in this type of situation, or know someone who has?


Thats about it. Just a quick little post from little old me

Thanks.

I know of 2 people that have done this.

One couple meet and are still together and are very happy. The other couple it didnt work out at all.
I guess the real choice is up to you.
You seem to have been talking to each other a lot. Give it time and see what happen's. Dont expect to much untill you meet and see how things go.

I look at this way, we're living in an information age, and communication today is far different from what it was 30, 20, or even 10 years ago. The internet, for better or for worse, has become an integral part of our culture and our daily lives. Given that, I would say that it's a perfectly legitimate way to meet new people. Whether or not the relationship works depends on the two people. However, I *will* say that *long distance* relationships are very difficult. You'll have to make a lot of accomodations that you may not be able/willing to make. I don't think the method of meeting is the problem here, but rather the distance involved. Contrary to what some people think, I *do* believe it's possible to love and care for someone before having actually met them in person. That is, unless your love is based solely on physical attraction, in which case it's not really love IMHO. Still, I can't see much satisfaction in a relationship in which you will *never* meet the other party involved. You'll have to decide if you're willing to do what it's going to take to make this one work out. It *is* possible, but it won't be easy...

My little brother did that, but it wasnt long distance (hes grade 7 so, it doesnt matter anyway). He knew someone who knew her, and they met, and he hated her. So it all depends.
Good luck man

i don't do this.... i'd rather meet somebody person to person, at a party or somethin

but sounds like you know the person, since you talk on the phone with her (that's key), so you know she's not a guy and if you haven't seen a picture of her, don't expect anything spectacular, hehe

Unless she's some crazy bitch I doubt that you have anything to lose.

I have heard about many of these situations. Some turn out good - some bad. Just like any other relationship, really.

And don't assume that she'll be ugly just because you met her online.

If you come back and read this, tell me where you met her. I need some net romance.

Okay, here's a girl's perspective:

I've definately done/tried this before. First time I was too young, and it totally didn't work out. Most recently, I talked with the guy for several months both on IM and the phone before we finally got to meet. When we did meet, it was totally awesome. We would still be together if it wasn't partially due to distance (5 hour drive away). Naturally, it's totally up to you if you think you are in this for the long-haul... But trust me on this one, long distance relationships are VERY hard to keep consistant. In my experience, jealousy sets in and can ruin everything.

So despite all that talk, the choice is yours. :flash:

I go with the majority on this one. Long distance relationships are hard to maintain if not, have. It will almost always come down to making some form of arrangement to meet. My advice to you would be to meet this person face to face, if possible. It's different with the person in front of you as opposed to on the internet. I've met a few people and have to say that some were pleasant, other's weren't. But in the end, the decision is yours.

Proof that relationships are evil:
we all know that to start a relationship up you need some money and to keep it going you need time. so:

relationships = money x time

now we all have heard that time is money so
time = money
so by substitution we get
relationships = money x money

we have also heard that money is the root of all evil, so the square root of evil is money. Knowing this we can say that money squared (money x money) = evil.

Now by substituting evil into the initial equation we com to the conclusion that

relationships = evil
