Do Online Relationships Really Last? Is it really LOVE?

Hi, Think: the world work like a puzzle, so that when you have to connect with something, don't matter if is a near or longer, or more, don't matter if is a person or things, you justly do it, many times without your comprehension... cuz certainly you know many boys on the internet (in the point of "Tracydee" is especialy a chat room) but always, something that i don't know explain here happen and you feel connected with the other without you can explain... The way is, take the opportunity and live it, save the good times and put out the bad... The life is short... Cool... PS: Monkey turn a man...Lol

HI, I am married to my on line relationship, we have now been married for seven years and have three wonderful children. I think the thing that helped us was that we lived in the same city and while there was a time that it looked like I would have to move, we still managed to work things out. So here we are nine years after starting our relationship, very married and very happy. So yes it can happen. I think the key is you have to met the person in person and not just via internet and text messages. However be careful when you do this, always met them in a public place, make certain that you have a friend with you at the time. Remember to put your safety before anything else. Do not give him any personal information about you till you have had a chance to get to know him and know that you can trust him. There are way too many freaks out there.

Hi, I am maried and got friend online then we met at her country when I got occasion to visit her country, it was very nice meeting and friendship but it ended when I back home...

Haven't you seen him on webcams? I think that's one of the basic rules. You really need to see him on cam just to be sure that he is really the guy on the photos he gave you. Well i had my share of romantic relationships online and i guess i can say that it's a lot better than some of the relationships i had in real life. I just messed up because i got mad at her then she took it too personal that she won't talk to me anymore. Most of my real girlfriends, i met them online then they eventually became my real girlfriends. there's really nothing wrong with online relationships. It's just a matter of how determined you are from making it a reality. Distance is just the only problem provided that everything is already laid out in the open. Trust is really important and i feel bad for the guy who fooled you because he could have had true love coming from you.

Hello tracydee! I have a story in my life that is just like yours and only the context is different. Ok let me begin... I am a boy and like you, I was a newbie on the internet. When I first knew about the chat room of yahoo, I was too much crazy about it. Though we didn't have internet connection in the home, I went to the cyber and spent time using the yahoo chat room, searching for making friends online and specially abroad the nation. For few weeks I went on doing this chatting. But I was getting really bored with this chatting, when people really didn't respond in a nice way. One day as I was using the chat room, I found a girl from our own country Nepal. Well she was in the southern region of the country and I am in the capital city in the central part of the nation. I was happy to meet someone from my own nation. The first day, the chatting was not so long, but we added each other in the messenger. Then I met her next time too. And then again and again. After that we started meeting online every week. Like you I too didn't wanted to show my face and rather there was no web cam in the cybers. But one day she had shown me her face through the web cam. She was beautiful, but I had not seen her in that way. One day she took my mobile no and called me. I was so happy to talk to her on the phone. A step ahead from the text messaging or chatting. Then she phoned me few more times. After two years of this relation, that was after just finishing our grade 12, she said she was coming to the capital city for the further study. Her mother was in the capital city and it was not so difficult for her. So when she came to the capital, she insisted to meet me and I did go to meet her. It was a very nice day and I had never thought our chatting relation could come to this mode. After that we met few time again. But one day, she proposed me. I had thought her only as a friend. I had never lied her. I certainly had no positive response for her. I was sorry for that. I just said to her that I can't be more than a friend. And after that I reduced the frequency of meeting her and now its been more than a year that I haven't meet her. Yes she calls me on the cell phone sometimes and I talk nicely to her. But I don't really want to meet her now. It will always bother her and she wont be able to forget the feelings on me. Not once, she proposed me twice and I feel sad about it. She says me she love me truly. At least our relation could not come to love relationship. I don't know about other. If the relation can come to this extent, why not to the love and then marriage if both have the feelings. I have to say it is possible... Happy to share about this story to you, the one who have similar sort of story.... Happy mylotting...

Hi tracy, thanks for sharing this. I was also wondering if this online relationship really can work. Nowadays there're so many cases that we can hear people got cheated by online friends and so on, that all these make me feel a bit hesitated to have online relationship. However, i think if we can find a person who's really of our type, we like each other, and both of us are serious to get on with this relationship, then it'll really be a good and romantic online relationship! Though, there will be obstacles and hard time where both party have to bare with, such as the distance. Both have to come to get together can get married so that this relationship can last long. This is just my opinion, i've not much experience on this,haha. Cheers my friend. :)

What i am going to tell u is not advice..its just my opinion . After reading ur post ,i think he really loved u and didn't want to miss u. so he wanted to impress u with some false identities. His love might be very true but the way he expressed it is wrong. Anyways nobody is perfect. As the first response said,meet him in a public place along with one of u trustworthy friend. You should meet him and talk with him and try to understand him. The friend u are taking along with u will be able to give u another perspective of that guy. Keep in touch. Post or mail ur progress..

I think that it might be good depending on what you personal likes and dislikes are. There has to be something that you find attractive once you meet, but there really has to be some real substance that you find real and concrete about that persons real SELF. Under that exterior.

I met my husband online. I was writing a paper for college and was looking for someone to help me with it, I needed some "expert" advice. I found his blog page and started exchanging messages with him it went on for a few months while I wrote my paper and then stopped, which was fine for me I was to focused on college. Then about a semester later he sent me a message asking if I wanted to go out for dinner with him he was bored and didn't want to go out alone. We were together ever since and we have been married for about 19 months and been together for over 3 years. I can't honestly tell you if the man you talked with loved you since no one but him really knows. I am sure that it is possible to fall in love with someone you talk to online, I know people that it has happened to.

To me I have heard many people in mylot discussing about their online relationship that led to a long lasting marriages, Personaly I agree in whatever ways you are using for relationship to get, if you to year a testimonies of how people met untill they got marred, you will not be surprised to hear that one would say, we met queuing in the bank, etc. The thing that we have to know is that the distance relationship somehow is full of lies, those who are in such a relationship they need to be careful and be genuine, well I am not a counsellor but am sensitive with such online relationship. In my country it is rare to find couple that they married through online relationship.

I don't think it could unless there was eventually some face to face contact involved an dthat worked well too. Face to face brings in a whole new element so I suggest either never meet and get married online haha if thta works for ya'll or chance it and ruin it and see if you have teh face to face chemistry as well. They are two differennt kinds.

I have my online long-distance friend now.. and we're still in a getting to know each other stage.. hope we last forever and ever.. lol (just kidding).. but i'm not expecting in that way.. i am now enjoying what we have been chatting and feel so lucky to have met him..

I think he loves you. Matter of fact, he might be ashamed of what he really looks like but it doesn't matter. If you were receiving text messages every now and then, think again. He's serious. Guys especially here in the Philippines would not even spend time to message a long distant girl for a very long time, it's a waste of time and money. The fact that you two were communicating regularly means you have something and he holds on to that through text messages. He lets you feel how he feels through efforts of texting. Don't be sad online relationships really last. You can measure it through commitment. It works all the time. In your case, I couldn't tell if it is really love but I think he loves you. You decide.

ive had a 4 year on and off online relationship with a guy over in australia, ive never met him and weve only seen each other on webcam. ive developed feelings for him over time but its hard to say wether my feelings for him could be classified as love. ive never told him about how i felt, maybe because i valued the friendship / companionship more than not being able to talk to him , if ever he finds what i want to say to him as wierd or totally without grounds.anyways wherever this leads ive had no regrets starting it :)

i think it's possible that there are some online relationships that progressed, but still long distance relationship especially on line, just coming to know about your future partner in life is still not advisable. look what happened with your chat mate, he made everything up, how can you say that he really loves you while he was not brave enough to tell you the truth about himself. before falling in love with someone know about who he really is. entering relationship or even marriage is not like eating hot rice and when you get burnt throw it up. relationship involves your emotion, heart and mind

OMG..im sorry to hear that.it was terrible if our lovely boyfriend lie to us.not all of this kind of relationship is become worst.may of them get married too.i have a friend that get married with his textmate.nine month is too long time to him to lie to you.i dont think its good.if he really love you he will show his ID as soon as possible.i think it so possible for you love in online chat.i ever do it too.but not really serious like you.i dont know if he love you or not.you can ask by yourself

I met my husband online, and yes I feel in love with him before I met or saw him. We have been married for 10 years, and we are as happy and still act like newlyweds from the day we met and got married. I am sorry for you hurt, and his dishonesty, luckily mine was never dishonest to me. Hoepfully one day you can meet your soul mate whether it be online or in person. Happy MyLotting!!

no i dont think so... though some will last.. but its not an assurance.. my cousin used to say that he will only love his girlfriend who went abroad for career advancement.. but after a few months, he had a new girl and ended up breaking with the previous girlfriend who went abroad.. :::((( sad but true.. things happened they way we dont like it.. but we have to face the fact that not all things will be good in our way..

i prefer to have a relationship not in net i want in person its impossible for me to have it coz it will not work for me..

I think this feeling between you maybe true,but it is fragile,the permanent love based on knowing each other very much.
