In my opinion,we need the relationships on internet,altough you are "faceless".If you are sad and nobody you can tell to,so you will find a person who is a stranger to tell.In addition,many people have get her/his lover by internet,for a person who is not talktive,this is a good way to make some friends.

i agree with you..We can tell all our heart aches and sadness through internet.And some people too in internet are helping others like giving ideas,or making them comfortable.Its very nice to know that people on internet are willing to gve i advice and how to handle things easy.

i can't believe it at all,distance is the biggest problem in relationship,you can't hardly understand what about your partner,so i really believe the love seeking in one's real life.

It is risky but I met my boyfriend online and we've been together for a 1 year and 4 months and i love him very much sure we have sttupid fights here and there like when we're driving and we get lost, but yes its very risky meeting people online but there can be some good out of it as long as your careful about it.

i agree with you when you talk about the risk in the internet relationship. But there are so many risk free friends on the net. you have to be very skeptical in choosing friends and you can know the person better over time and questions. It works i have seen many friends that has come together through the internet. Be wise, your good friend is waiting for you there.

Of course it is possible to have relationships at the net. It's unvoidable that you can meet someone so sweet and kind. And you feel like he is the one. But how to make that relationship to last is such a big question. For nothing constant in this world except change. To some their relationship at the net is successful and to some are not so i guess it always depend how you handle such relationship. In my own case i believe that relationships on the net is far to come true.

I have made friends through internet, that i trust 100%. I love them very much, but just as friends. I dont wanna go into relationship, coz I'm too chicken to go into something like that. I don't know why Im like that, I guess you hear too many crazy stories of things that went wrong.

Actually I really enjoy my online friendships, so I guess I'm more trusting. I don't really see the harm in trusting people online, to an extent. Most of the harm I have come to in my life has come from people I've known offline, not online. Right now I count a few people I met right here in mylot among my close friends, and one of them is usually the first person I go to when I need a different perspective on something. It's nice because he can give me that perspective easily by looking at the whole picture, and not being swayed by having mutual friends and having to take sides and such. I met my husband online as well, actually, over 8 years ago now. I certainly don't regret that online relationship, as it has led to marriage and a beautiful child. =)

i agree that its hard to trust on some "faceless" person who is chatting with you... but sometimes, its this anonymity that brings people closer... i am a perfect example of it... i met my boyfriend over the internet and we know each other for about 3 years... and its great... being not so good looking, i had an inferiority complex and the anonymity the net offered was great as far as i was concerned. coz people cannot see each other,they can fall for the person for who they are and not for how they look like. so i do believe in relationship in the internet!

I felt on the Internet chatting with others and is a very pleasant things, because we do not know what the other side is like a long, we do not know each other's character and how kind, according to its own way of imagination to describe each other, I think does not matter whether you believe - because I only when they are online friends, and not reality linked.

hungry cat - This cat was really hungry, I just tought it was a great picture haha
I only believe in friendship via the internet but on another level. But relationships, I think it might be possible, but I could never fall in love with someone through the internet. Because he or she might be pretending to be someone they are not.

It s hard to say.I know few of relationship, which turn to marriage and the couple is happy. I am not person, who trust anybody so easy.Yeah maybe you can find some friend out there, but I would have to meet her or him personly and then start to build relationship.

I think relationships that begin on the internet can work. For some, it is a way to get to know people with out having to worry about physical things and for others they are just tired of the dating scene in thier community. As long as each person is safe (doesn't give too much personal info too soon, meets in a public place,etc.) it can be a great way to meet someone that you wouldn't have met otherwise.

One of my friends has only had relationships because of the internet and they NEVER work out for him. The relationship always gets off to a great start then they get ahead of themselves by moving in and get engaged. I understand relationships move quickly for some people, but after being engaged your third time it would make sense that you need to slow down. Also, he did not portray himself honestly online. Now, how many other people do that? A lot, I am sure.

It really is quite risky, but there are good persons too. I also know persons who met over internet and have a good relationship. You cannot trust anyone there, so do not share important data till you are sure it's ok. It happened to me that someone contacted me and began the conversation very normally, but in an end it tuned to questions like "what is your size", "how do you like to do it" and so on. there are different people and there's always hope.
