People that hang out on message boards typically have relationships online. Maybe we seek out conversation on the internet because we wish to find people with similar interest but some of us just don't have social lives or sex lives so we try and fulfill that online where you can be as confident as you want

Lots of people lie over the internet. Talk to people for friendship but don't pursue an online relationship. Save yourself from the heartache because you're more than likely going to get catfished or lied to. I mean it all sounds beautiful in theory. You meet a nice person and you two get along and have similar interests. Months later you'll find out the real truth and boy does it sting.

I just think anime nerds are just thirstier and it seems like you have a chance with an anime girl because they are the most depraved individuals on the face of the earth. Trust me, I've read stories about con orgies on the internet.

I have had (and still do have) many friends who I have met online/through social media. Only two did I actually pursue an online relationship with, and one of them I am still dating. Him and I have met in real life a total of three times (with a few days included in each visit) but we have been together for over two years and have a serious relationship.

I met him on instagram as one of my followers and then later he became a friend in which after he eventually confessed to me :)

I had liked people in real life, and were friends with them and stuff, but because of personal reasons I was never able to be my full self around anyone out of fear that my family might find out, so online it was easier for me to be who I truly am.

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau

I have online friend relationships, but never had an online romantic interest.
Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons.
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.

Nah, online relationships just sound too hard to work out so I never try pursuing any. Too much heartache. Besides it's difficult to judge personality online unless you interact in every way possible.

I've been on the internet a long time, and i've seen many examples of successful online relationships. Although, i wont pretend that this is the norm or anything, plenty of times they'll simple not work. Honestly, i feel like pursuing online friendships is best, if something more develops naturally, then so be it.

I had irl flings with women I got to know online a couple of times. They became someones to have coffee and a nice chat with and a warm body to inject sperm into. Didn't get much further than that though, pretty meaningless in all honesty. I don't think I have a soul mate because I have no soul. Life is sad.

Nah, I currently do not have a relationship online.
I feel that having a girl friend online, is just useless, cause they can just dump u and go for another guy..
For me online relationships is a big NO!!!
But even if a girl tries to take me online, first i need to talk to her on a video call or something like that. LOL

I don't think it is a good idea. And if you don't know the person in real life it can't be a real relationship ha ha. (Okay maybe that is why it is called "online relationship" and a "long distance relationship" would be real and you would have met the other person at least once trying to meet them more often.)

For some "fun" or "good friendship" it is okay. You might even call it relationshp if you don't have much other people and you understand each other. But you should know that people in real life might be different and you might be disappointed.

I think it is fine as long as it aren't 14 years old that after some texting go around like "lovelove you ..." puting them in their FB stat as partner and then cry when that person gets a real partner in real life ha ha.

From scary second hand experience, I have only one piece of advice: if you have an online relationship, take steps to make it offline by yesterday. A dear friend of mine was trapped in an online relationship he eventually realized could never be consummated despites his partner's assurances, and yet XXXteen years later he is still chasing online phantoms unable to break the loop.

Don't wait until you are too old to do anything.

I only ever get involved in online relationships when I'm bored as fuck and looking to kill time, or when I'm drunk asf and I have to block them the next morning.

I prefer my relationships in real life. That's not to say the right girl for me won't appear online, but I would never use the internet to search for a girlfriend. That alone is creepy in it's own right.

A pair of eyes appear disguised,
I take flight and stay high in paradise,
With bad luck, snake eyes, a pair of dice.
I'm paralyzed, she speaks twice, a pair of lies,
It's parallel, apparent hell of parasites.

Yes I have. Met my current boyfriend over an MMORPG 5 years ago. The game had a marriage system (lol) and he was my partner there. Though we didn't intend to actually date irl, we ended up dating anyway and with effort actually made it work. Everyday we talked over Skype/Facetime and txted each other through Viber for over a year before we finally met up in person (despite living in different countries), lived together for short periods and met each other's families & friends.

Now we're together for 4 years and counting with plans on settling down and getting married within the next 1-3 years (depends on work and documents that need to me settled). Can't wait too... LDR is a pain in the ass. I don't recommend it!!

I'm in a long distance online relationship. We occasionally find ways to meet up and have fun ;) The distance makes me appreciate the rare physical contact more, therefore giving me le feels. Worth it.

Whenever I see someone in an online relationship I automatically lose all respect for them.
I feel very sorry for people who lacks dignity and lowers themselves to a sorry state in which a complete stranger, who obviously is nothing like the person they pretend to be, behind a screen can take advantage of them.

Once you get into the physical aspects of relationships, online ones become a lot harder. That said, long distance is still totally possible. Once you get older you'll have the means to visit the long distance relationships as well.

It sucks, but anyway.

I have known couples who were in online relationship for years, then go real life after 3 or so years. Not impossible, but what is the odd. 99% of them fail.

It isnt like real life relationship is any better tbf, I have known someone who went in rel for freaking 3 days... Idk wtf they were doing. Except physical contact, I dont think real life rel is any better than online. People still cheat, they can still fake themselves (yeah see it lotsa time) etc etc.

This topic comes out too much in forum lol.
