Some people are just so kawaii that you think they're worth it, but it makes for a miserable time, especially as you lay in bed at night and realize you have noone to snuggle with.

I'll pass.

I think it can work only for a while, if both really care about each other. After a certain point though they may both feel lonely, sad or jealous, sice they can't see each other often.

I used to not beleive in it at all. I didnt think it was possible. I didnt even think friendship was possible. I felt different about it later. Ive felt strongly for peiple far off before. Its deffinately not for everyone though as it has its own dilemmas because of the pain of being away from someone. It has to become an in person relationship eventually. If you know it wont then its just a step more than roleplay. I mean can you imagine people never meeting getting married online and never seeing eachother in person still? It would be like very mind effecting. I find it honorable for relationships to last after people move appart or have yet to meet because of the amount of trust that has to be involved and all the hurt theyd have too through.

I dated a girl from Boston who I met online a few years back. It worked out alright because it was within driving distance (few hours drive there and back). Not as well as a normal relationship, but still manageable.

Abroad? Probably not. Part of relationships is physical interactions. There's only so much "skyping" you can take before it gets awful and lonely.

People like to say "if people love each other, they'll endure it". But the harsh truth is it isn't that simple. There's only so much reality you can endure before you break. If you can make it work, that's a miracle.

If people are serious about long distance dating, they should eventually hook up in the physical world too, I think.

Not worth it, unless you guys were extremely close before you separated.

Wait, I didn't see the online part. In that case, it's just not worth it.

It takes a very mature couple to be able to pull off this type of relationship. Also, if it STARTS as a long distance relationship, then the chances of it failing are much higher.

Don't fucking bother with it.
Did it when I was young and stupid, pointless and a waste of time. Was a good relationship but still.
A guide to living with that one guys ugly signature on MAL.

1. See that SullyNathan has posted last in thread, abort thread.
2. After clicking quick reply, close eyes and type out reply.
3. Try to scroll as far down as possible before replying if you prefer to keep your eyes open.
4. Report said signature for being offensive to the eyes.
5. See he is active in thread, scroll through thread while trying not to have eyes burned, sigh, click back & lose interest.
6. Move to another part of MAL forums where he does not visit.

I've been in a long distance relationship, not quite what you specified as it started as we started as a regular couple...it could work I guess, we did break up since I find actually physically being there important.

Always long distance though? I'm not sure, not being able to see each other will end of sucking and probably break the relationship.

I think to a certain point it is possible till the crave after physical contact kicks in. And outcome depends on each person/ couple differently. Very big risk though, but good luck!

Depends where you come from. One is to study, other-fly shitloads of km. But that's not the point.
If you are taking this seriously, I advice you to start saving up.

If nobody is willing to move within, let's say, a maximum of 4 years, to live together, don't even bother. It shows indirectly how much they're willing to go for one another.

An advantage of relationships that start online is to really know how much a person can care for you. You really don't get this in a closer distance one. Especially if no problems occur, you can never tell how much they're willing to go out of their way for you.

It's a waste of time. How can you say you like someone when you've never seen them in person before? You don't know what they do when they're offline. Unless they're serious about meeting up, don't do it unless you want to be on Catfish

A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not online. A gay who likes a another man online could pose as a woman just to get close to that man because he knows that man is not a homo. The show is about two guys who help people track down catfish.

If you ever get into this kind of stuff, don't take it too seriously.
