To have a relationship by internet can be fun, hot, romantic, safe, secret infidelity, cheap, confortable etc. But, when the time to meet comes can be very risky. I have a friend that met a girl by net (I wont say the web), and felt in love very passional with the girl, they never saw by video only in pictures and one day she decided to tell him that she wasnt the one in the picture, so, he got confused because he was in love with the one in the picture not with her (the one in the picture was her friend) they broke up . A week ago I heard another case here in Taiwan , the couple met by net and when they met in person he killed her with a knyfe and killed himself too, that was an awful and sad case. Not all the cases have a bad end , I met a friend (by the way was by net too) She is from Indonesya and he is from America and they met for a while by net , then , they met in person and finally got marry and now they are expecting their first baby and live very happy for now, I hope they will last forever. Would You or do You agree having a relationship by Internet???

Well, I Strongly Agree with You. I think that relationship by internet is very risk. Although that some story is happy ending, but generally does not happy ending, sometimes even tragic. Many people hide their marital status only for obtain a temporary romance by internet. So Be Carefull

relationship must be build in order to have a happy marriage life. in using internet, relationship is not built that strong because they didn't go out or see in person. and telling lie is easy in the internet. my advise is just to look for a friend in the internet than ...if you meet someone that you think you want more than a friend, you must or that person must find a way that you two can see in person...try phone call...or mail...than, next step is MEET IN PERSON. but i believe that it is very risky!

All that you mentioned here are true. I was invited by my online friend to meet him in KL but i was so afraid to meet up with him. He had offered to pay all my flight expense. So i told him, ok you pay my flight fare but i will pay my own room. He was insisting that we share the same room! Woah! Isnt the intention quite obvious? Nevertheless so, i still believe that he is a kind man. We chat almost everyday online cam to cam but still i am afraid to meet him. I can dare to meet him in KL as long as i have a friend to accompany on the trip.

I agree with you. Online dating can have big risk. I think even meeting in public places can be a big risk as well. The person can be nice in public but being alone with you you never know what they are up to. I think the same goes with meeting someone from a club/ bar you dont know what he/she is capable of doing.
