| I do not believe long-distance relationships can hold up besides for the desire of sex, but if you are attractive enough to find a real partner long distance, your selection in your area would likely take over ending up with the long-distance relationship falling apart imo. |

| Your no is nonsense because the same can be said of any relationship. As long as someone isn't full on naïve not bothering to check they aren't being blatantly catfished there is no difference in risks other than the pain of being appart when you need to hold eachother and trouble getting time and money to do things in peperson. It has plus side of increasing potential to find a good match and online it's easier to open up about things. |
| Depends on whether or not the people in the relationship want to keep it long-distance or close the gap. There's nothing wrong with meeting people far away, I feel, but an essential part of a relationship is the physicality, and for a LDR to be successful, I believe that the goal should be to make it in-person as soon as reasonably possible. Though, that's just my view. I guess, really, you have to ask yourself what you want out of a relationship, and pick a form that works for you. Do you simply want to be less lonely? Maybe then a permanent-LDR/Online relationship is fine. Do you want physical intimacy and dates? Then an in-person relationship is for you. Case-by-case, I suppose. |
| The catfishing argument is nonsense indeed. Like, for scammers and predators, it's always a numbers game. If they see that someone is being reluctant and wasting too much of their time, they'll lose interest pretty quickly. Nobody is going to spend 2 years trying to catfish Mr. Nobody. If you've interacted enough with the person and have sufficient evidence that they are who they claim to be, then the odds of getting catfished are close to zero. I still don't think I'd put myself through such a torment, though. It's not just about the lack of intimacy or whether they stay loyal or not, but about having to constantly divine how the other person feels and knowing that they can pretty much delete their account or block/unfriend you the next day leaving no chance for you to find or contact them. Imagine going to sleep every day with that thought in mind and then rushing to your phone or PC and checking if they are still there being your morning routine — no thanks. Online friendships on the other hand can be okay. Of course, some of the aforementioned problems still apply, but to a far lesser extent. |

| If a person can type Lol without actually laughing then they can type I love you without actually loving someone. Well anyways I am not experienced in any kind of relationships but I would try not to engage in an online relationship. I would at least want to meet the person in real life before even thinking about a relationship. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| And IRL people would never blackmail you? in fact it is IRL people who can do most damage. of course people in your town could all be saints or something like that, so people you meet online could be much worse than that. |

Online friendships on the other hand can be okay. Of course, some of the aforementioned problems still apply, but to a far lesser extent. No, no, no... your partner giving you the silent treatment from the other side of the room is nowhere near the same level as being ghosted by your online boyfriend/girlfriend who lives 16,000 km away. It's true that knowing the person's address, phone number, workplace, etc. may ease your anxiety, but still... it's not like you'll be able to hop on a plane to Peru and go knock on Fernanda's door to see why she disappeared or blocked you all of a sudden the other day. Not to mention how easily one (or both) side(s) can abuse this once they realize how much power they have over the other person. I know that there are many successful online relationships out there, and I haven't ruled them out completely myself, but I'll need to know the person really well and trust them more than I've trusted anyone else to be comfortable with something like this. Plus, my main priority will be to reduce the distance between us and become a regular couple as soon as possible as you are basically playing Russian roulette with your relationship with every day that passes. |
| I personally wouldn't enter a relationship with someone I've only met online because I believe people don't show their true faces online. Obviously people can do that in real life too but I think it's more common online. That's just my opinion though and I don't judge people for entering one. Each to their own. |
 |
| "No, but yes" LIS2 flash backs. You answer your own question. |
| it depends on what you mean by relationship, I would say. If it's just a friend you can rely on then yeah you're better off with someone who understands despite being overseas than say...talking to a giant stuffed animal lmao as for "that" kind of relationship, I would suggest that it's better if you're actually in the same country so you can meet someday. I personally can't handle this distance issue if we're speaking from this context |
 |
| It depends on what kind of relationship we are talking about. I don't really mind the distance when we are talking about friendship. But I do mind the distance if we are talking about a love relationship. As for trusting people, I don't see any difference between real life or internet. You have trustworthy and untrustworthy people in both worlds. Okay, you have the chance to come across a unworthy person on the internet faster. But there are also enough untrustworthy people around you. Not only random people, but also for example co-workers. |

| People can fuck you over in in any type of involvement if you entrust them with things of importance to you. It is on you to not be braindead about it. On the flipside, it is also a great litmus test for people worth trusting. If they had an opportunity to betray your trust for their gain with little risk to themselves but didn't, that is a good predictor for future behavior. |

Whoa, someone on MAL with their head screwed on straight? That's a new one. Agreed with you mostly; some difference in nuance, but I've got the same conclusion. |
| I would actually avoid someone like 149597871 who wants to knock on my door over anything. In fact online relationship helps with that, easier to just disappear if things do not go my way. Just like Thukasa from .hack//Sign Girls do get obsessed over me so, some effective means of ghosting them is absolutely needed. |

| why wouldn't it be ok? Long distance relationships are harder though so i wouldn't recommend it unless you and your partner are in for the long run but they can work. My friends gf met him online and they didn't meet irl until later in the relationship now she has moved country to live with him. So as long as your on the same page it can work! |
| Not if she is on onlyfans and her Instagram is public |
 |
| Online long distance relationships seem really weird to me, I wouldn't do it. But for friends who I have met online, I am pretty careful with a lot of my personal information but if I have known them for a long enough time then I'll trust them |
