Have you ever been in an internet relationship?

Im in a relationship now with someone i met on the net. Friends first we met after a few months of chatting and boy was there chemistry. Made it official an we see one another on the weekends until he makes the permanent move. My sister also met her now husband on the net and theyve been married for two years talked via phone an aol an txts for years. Physical distance does not measure true closeness.

I met my fiance over and email... lol... I was going to India in March of this year and I had started planning my trip a long time ago, I was going to work in an orphanage and stay there for a bit. He saw from a friend that I was going to the orphanage and he sent me an email expressing his love for children and what not. We began to chat a bit about my trip and then one day I said “have you ever skyped before? Would you like to Skype with me?” than instantly I said “Oh but we don’t have to its okay!!!” lol...( I was just nervous to Skype with him I think) Anyways we chatted that first night on Skype for 4 hours and when I got done speaking with him I was total taken back by him. He lived in England at the time and I was in the US and to me “internet dating” was a NO WAY NO HOW thing, how was I supposed to tell my family I met a guy on the internet? So I just chatted with him as a friend and didn’t think anything else of it really at first, well that’s a lie, I was interested in him but I was not going to let my heart get involved with him that’s more what I mean.
So as the planning of my trip came all together he asked if he could speak to my father, he said I cant marry you without your dads okay. So via Skype my father and him sat down and spoke for quite a long time. At the end my father said he was happy for us and if we wanted to get married we had his blessings.
When February came he flew from England to India to get a job, and in the beginning of March I flew from the states to India to work. When I was done working at the orphanage he flew into the city where I was at and met me, for the first time in person we met, and it was the best day of my life so far. After sooooo long I could touch him and kiss him and just be with him. We spent 7 days together before I had to leave and go back to the states and now we are waiting on immigration to okay him to come here.
My dream is coming true and I am marrying the man I love and my best friend in the whole world, literally. But if I would of listen to all the people in my life or cared what they were saying I never would of even considered what we have. My advice to you is don’t close any doors God is amazing and will help you out all the way, if you let him. Good luck...

For awhile, but it was inane. Unless you're online all the time (which itself would be a pretty poor trade off), you aren't going to even have the opportunity for a quality relationship even if it's only through text, or in some cases, streaming audio.

Then, you miss a lot of the interesting things that about human interactions that only happen face to face. Seeing a </sarcasm> at the end of a sentence is never as good as actually hearing a person make a sarcastic remark in real life. You miss out on the body language, meaningful eye contact, and being able to share meaningful experiences.

Just mild flirting and whatnot.
I don't really think it's possible to have a relationship with someone unless you can see them in person and spend time with them. Otherwise, what's the point?

I have. I thought it was fine at the time, but looking back on it, she was manipulative and jealous and made me REALLY unhappy.
I'm a bisexual and she's a lesbian, and whenever I say, put a picture on facebook of me hugging a male or bi girl friend, she's freak out and threaten to break up with me. She was really immature, she'd use being angry as an excuse to do whatever she wanted, and she often threatened to break up with me because she couldn't "deal with my atheism".

After I broke it off, I asked her to do a break where we didn't talk because it felt awkward. Her response? Go around telling people that I'm a bitch who never loved her, have a go at my friends who stood up for me and get her friends to harass me.

She made my life hell and it's only after cutting her out that I've realised how dependent I was on her. I don't want to discourage people people from long distance or internet relationships, but be careful. I ended up with a total psycho.

Im currently engaged and living together. I've never been happier and he treats me like a queen. We've been together For 2 years now. If it wasn't for the internet non of what I have now would be possible

not worth it.
unless a mate pops out to you when you weren't looking for one.
if you're desperate looking for someone to spend time with, its a waste.

I AM and I never thought it would happen. i use a forum online and this girl and I started talking and well long story short we were really good friends and told each other everything and we both really wanted to FUCK! so we did and then we fell in love and we've been together a little over a year. It's not easy,she's 2500 miles away and we've only been physically together for a week twice. the sex was amazing... we both agree it's the best thing ever. i'm 18 and she's 22, but it's so worth it. she's the only one for me. we're both very attractive people and shit, it's just when someone floors you they floor you and it doesn't matter how far away they are. we're planning to move in together within a year. she wants to have my babbbies.

yeah, and its normal!!

I met my first 'love' on the net. I was watching anime and there was this forum and out of nowhere we exchanged our email addresses amd we started talking a lot on msn. I don't want to be the fun sucker but, BE CAREFUL! mine cheated and he/she cane becUsw you don't live wit them, they can say they're somewhere or whatever. After a yr of 'dating' online he came from the USA to e UK and stayed with me for 6months and to be hoesnt, you get a completely diff feeling when you see them in person (mine was not very....impressed'. You get a completely diff feeling,so a piece of advice, meet them in PERSON. We broke up After he went back to the states, he became... Different amd that's when he cheated. I went into his email and well, the times where he was saying he was working he was actuLly going out having fun with a chick called 'clair' and I lost my virginity to him.

BE CAREFUL, meet them in person first before you do anything foolish. All the best xxx

I met two men from the bizarro online world and they were the lamest slimes ever.One was a douchebag who didn't have a car and yet had the audacity to ask me to drive him around like he was the king of his ass town,the other one was just a weirdo who couldn't talk to me,chain smoker,ect....Got boring real quick.So not for me.

When I was 12.

No, but I met my current boyfriend on the internet. We met on a forum, talked for awhile, eventually met, and eventually started dating.
But I wouldn't take my experience and apply it to yourself, and expect some fairytale story to materialize out of meeting someone online. In fact I don't recommend it, meeting someone from the internet can be incredibly dangerous.
But online dating is becoming more and more common with the new age of computers and everything, so it isn't strange to hear about people meeting online. But I've known plenty of relationships to fail... Truth is there are a lot of creepers online even if you don't want to believe so. Just be careful, always try to be smart about who you're talking to.

lovely stories from rachel and ipurr, good luck!

my fiance is from the internet! we've never met in person but i love him sooo much! we've been dating for 8 years via the internet and last month he proposed! we live really far away so we've never met but i know he's the one i wanna spend my life with forever and ever. so go for it! its the best!

I've met a guy through the internet but we eventually met and started dating. I picked 'No' though cause I think what you meant is like 'dating' and all on the internet, right

I met this girl on the internet. She lived 45 minutes from me. Things weren't going so well with her bf at the time so we started hanging out and I slept with her in 2 weeks of meeting her in person. She felt guilty and went back to her bf shortly after. He had the same name as me. Lol
