  • Like all relationships, it depends on the individuals enterìng into it. How old are they? Do they have careers? Are they ready for a serious relationship? Are they willing to make a large move to be with the one they love?

    Starting a relationship online is easy enough. It's a great way to meet likeminded people you wouldn't necessarily meet in everyday life. Most people are capable of having lengthy video calls to get a sense of what the person is like before that first meeting, which needs to happen.

    Eventually, one of them will have to make a long distance move and that would only be possible with the proper financial means. It helps if at least one person has a stable career and living accommodations first because they might be supporting two people for a while until the moved person finds a job.

    My brother met his wife online and they have been very happily married for years and have kids. They met online when they were in their mid-twenties and had jobs.

    When there's a will and the means to close the distance in a long distance relationship, anything is possible.

    • I think what you're saying is completely right. I think it does come down to where they are in their life and if they're ready and willing to work for something like that. At my last job, one of the women I worked with was married 5 years to someone she met online. He was from another country so after maintaining their relationship online for just a year, he moved. He was doing really well for himself so he definitely had the money to do so. But even if he didn't have the money, I feel it would have worked because I met him and saw them interact and can honestly say they are meant to be together.
