INTERNET Relationships

I think that if two people chat online, and eventually fall in love with one another, then they already have a relationship. It cannot yet be considered dating, though, until they finally meet each other and go out on a date. But for as long as each one has expressed his or her love for the other, then I consider this as a formal relationship. Therefore it would be "cheating" to be chatting with someone else online, considering the fact that the relationship started thru chatting. That, unless is, of course, if the person you would be chatting with is a relative, family, a friend of the same gender, or anyone who definitely has no romantic interest in you. If a person cannot be faithful online, how can they be faithful in real life, when they get together?

I've had some friends who had found their love through the internet. And some who were fooled into believing the person they were chatting with was for real. When you are talking or chatting on the internet, you exchange views and ideas with the other person. Isn't that what you do on dates? Engage in interesting conversation? Isn't that one way to know a person? And if you are on cam, isn't it like it's as if the person is as real as he could get? The only difference is that you don't get to connect on a physical level. But the problem is you don't really know if he's the "real deal", know what I mean? It's like jumping into a lake without knowing how deep it is. You still have to do some probing and get to the bottom and find out the kind of person he is. Find out if what he's saying is really true or not. Maybe get to meet some of his friends, his family and relatives. So get to know that someone in person before seriously considering getting into a relationship with him. Have a nice day! That way

it's still a relationship even if you only see and communicate with each other in the net. I had my share of internet relationship,but it was not successful.I'm not against internet relationship,but we have to be extra careful though,coz there can be a lot of lies in the net.We have to know the person first and make sure that he/she is being honest before making any commitment. And if you already made a commitment then be loyal to the relationship..no more flirting with others even if it's just in the net because it is still flirting...thus,it's also considered as cheating.
