Is online relationship trustworthy?

Yes. Of course online friendships are trustworthy. You take exactly the same precautions that you do when meeting someone in "real" life. So far I have met eight myLotters and it has been absolutely fine and wonderful. Try it.

May be, but meeting outside face to face is better for friendship.

it depends on the person the man I married for 11 yrs I met him online we were friends for 6 mths then we got serious and 6 mths later got married although the marriage itself didn't last I'd say 11 yrs is a long time for marriage that started with online relationship we had never met in person prior to marriage it was not dating site either, I just trusted that he sent me his real photo and I sent him my real photo

I find that it is no different then perhaps meeting a stranger offline. Time will give us an idea of what the person is like. It is really our responsibility to carefully see any signs and be careful as perhaps online it might be a bit riskier but I have had some really great experiences.

I would say it depends on person to person. Depends, to whom we are talking to, how is that person, from where that persons belongs too etc etc. I have been chatting and making friends from past 5 years. Actually, i love chatting and love to talk with new peoples. So i had a great experience in this. I made many online friends but all the friends were not trustworthy. Some were there who used to chat just for fun, some were there to play pranks and some were there who were really looking for friends. So the persons who were looking for friends were my reliable friends. We used to know each other and talk for hours. Day by day, as time went away our relationship was getting stronger and stronger. What if i tried to be friends with those who was just for time pass..? We can never be friends for long time. So this is what i meant to say it depends on person to person. We can make a best and happiest relationship on internet as well as worst-est relationship on internet. So be careful and find your best partner.

I don't think so. Or maybe it depends. There are others who really lies about their age and other personal matters. So, if you haven't really known the person too well, do not trust that person easily. But I do believe that there are some which are really trustworthy and are sincere but I guess, those kind of people are only few.

I would say in most cases friendship that develops online can be trustworthy. Dating relationships I would be a little more wary of because people can pretend to be anyone. I play games on pogo.com and people that play on there have created leagues to play for fun competition. There are members of the league who had become friends on there and then met in real life and take mini vacations together. I wish I could meet someone like that.

I don't have many "online friends" but I don't think a relationship being trustworthy has anything to do with whether or not the relationship is online or in person. Someone you know in real like can screw you over too. After talking to someone for a long time online I think you would be able to tell if you can trust them or not. Why would they put so much effort and time into a relationship with you if they didn't care?

Yes, it can be trustworthy if they are able to last for years. It's not easy maintaining a real friendship for years, and if we are able to do that online, it's not an easy feat, therefore we should cherish it more. After all, whether online friendship blossoms or not, we won't be hurt as bad since we are not seeing each other often to know what's really happening.

no, i dont think they are trustworthy at all ,not because i have never experinced an online relationship but to completely know a person it is necessary to observe that person's behavior and body language and thats not something u can find while having a conversation on the net and i dont believe in internet relationships .friendship can work bit not relationships

To be on the safe side, I reckon it's not very safe and secure to meet up with someone you've never met before face to face. The internet is great! But it is also a way for predators to stalk their victims as well and the problem with the internet is that you can be anyone you wish. People can fake their gender and age and try to pretend to be someone else. It's alright if you really know that person and seen them through webcam or something but don't meet with strangers. Especially, if they are overseas. A lot of people, especially young people have fallen victim to this kind of thing and really the internet isn't safe just like how the dark alley way down the road isn't safe.

I think it depends on how you define relationship. Obviously, online is not the same as knowing or even meeting a person face to face where you can detect things about them by say eye contact. Generally, I think there are also common elements to online as well. In connection with something being trustworthy, honesty is the key to that so it relies on the people to agree to it. You can find honest people or lack of it, everywhere. What I find that sometimes lacks in online activity is clarity. I could be thinking for example that relationship meant chat friend or buddy online while the other person could be thinking something totally different. Of course the place or community you occupy and way you use the internet can affect this.

I think being friends and having friends who share the common interest is good. But a serious boyfriend girlfriend relationship i dont believe because: 1) i have seen none of them work out with my friends 2) the person on the other side could be just bluffing up the whole thing and you'll have no idea whether any of it is true for any relationship TRUST is the fundamental virtue that is required between both parties..

Yes it could be trustworthy unless somebody you finally meet doesnt meet your standards (social, covertational,etc0 from the 1st site,from the 1st appointment...Many people use Internet nowadays and you can catch quite important guys and girls ....

It depends on the person, it may be trustworthy but we should be vigilant of knowing the real color of the person. Chatting could do no harm, but cheating would. And just don't involve "Money" in the relationship.

There are by far more positive comments about Internet relationaships than negative comments. I would not hesitate starting a relationship with others online..in fact I have several from different countries that I have become very fond of and consider dear friends. I think it is an awesome way of connecting with a wide variety of people...all from the comfort of your own home
