Its possible, but learn more about user "HotGuy58752"
before you hook up.
But yes you can manage a healthy relationship over the net.
And you can have abusive ones.
(Verbal and emotional only really.)
But its nice when you actually met the person and make a life with them.

Could happen, although I only got this answer from my friends xD I don't get too senitive when it comes to the internet~

If you meet over the internet and hook up eventually in person thats fine.

But relationships that only consist of the internet and *cyber sexing where you insert it into me like this* has nothing on the real thing. You can masturbate all you want but its not the same. I have to know that I'll see them in person or have regular webcam sessions so I know they're not some creepy old man as apposed to the "hot" guy I've been talking to lol.

I think it'd only work if you knew the person on the internet for quite some time, as in being friends over something such as a forum or a game. Even then it'd be weird and silly if you didn't meet up in real life.. cyber is stupid in my opinion.

I don't really understand dating websites, but there have been success stories so I assume it works for some people.

It Is Possible... If You Share Enough... And Connect Well... Remember Not Everyone Is In A Relationship For Sex.... And Not Everyone Dates Online... But When Your Online You Look Up Your Interests... Soo Most Likely Someone Will Appear With The Same Interests As You.... Could Spark An Internet Relationship XD

its possible, depending on how much you have in common, how much you talk, your friends, your family, ect.
everything varies when it comes to love, the internet is no different, jut look at romeo and juliet, they didn't learn each others idenities until after they fell in love (srry for the bad example)

this will sound truly corny

but

love can exist anywhere. every situation is different, you just have to make it work.

You know...right now, society, in the sense of the range of human interaction, is evolving with incredibly speed. It is evolving so quickly that to make any definite statements about what is normal or not regarding love and friendship, is basically irrational, and more a reflection of prejudice than actual observation.

Right now, humans are developing friendship, and even developing some form of attraction, without ANY of the audio-visual or pheremone-based cues that we have come to equate with physical attraction.

Frankly, are any of these friendships or forms of attraction any more or less irrational than, "Her hair cut looked cute," or "I liked his walk?" We can be fooled by how people present themselves on the internet...but we can be fooled by how people present themselves anywhere, at any time, under any circumstance -- and you have a lot more options to remove yourself from someone's attention if you're on the internet, compared to if you're alone with them in a car.

Regarding the post above mine, about how love can exist anywhere...I say, why not? Would I personally fall for someone on the internet (specifically, if our interactions were ONLY on the internet) -- I don't think it's too likely. Would I use the internet as one of many possible tools to meet someone if I were 'in the market?' I'd be irrationally limiting myself if I didn't.

Im not really sure but i guess it could happen....depends on the person

Of course it's possible.

Depends on one's opinion of 'love', I soppose... 97•/• of the time Internet friends on sites like this haven't really met eachother...but, your life, not mine. You can love anyone you want, whatevah...(don't mean to be blunt)

To each their own. Depends if you want a fantasy(stay online) or real(in person) relationship.

I met my fiance on the internet through a forum board (via an old band we used to listen to). We were close friends for almost four years before admitting to ourselves and one another that we had feelings for one another. We met, mutually agreed we felt like we'd known one another our entire lives, and 3 and a half years later, we're getting married! Yay!

YES. FK YES

aha I guess I had an online relationship, but I knew him in person.. if that makes sense. Well it may have been a one sided online relationship :P

In school me and this guy would act as though we didn't really know each other, but we would then go back home and go IMing for 12 hrs a day... for like 2 years. I fell head over heels over this guy...
And then he went to Malaysia for the summer and we stopped talking. I consider this a "breakup" even though we see each other at school. But I've never spoken more than 10 sentences to him in real life...

There's love, but there's also hurt. So much hurt...

It's easy to break the ice over the net, but hard to find a person that won't freeze the warmth in your heart.
