With more and more people using the internet, relationships online are increasing rapidly with many people even getting married with partners they meet online.

Do you think online relationships are right or wrong?

Happy debating!

right, i suppose.
for dating agency's as say they're a joner in rl, it's an easy way to meet up with people

a purely online relationship isnt a proper relationship

Mrchins
19-10-2007, 03:23 PM
yes, but if they meet in real life, it is surely?

If they meet up, then it is a relationship if their 'online relationship' carries on. If they don't see each other for a length of time, it is still a loving relationship if the commitment is there.

It is right. It is only wrong if you have multiple relationships or you have no feelings back towards them.

I have met someone online, we met irl and we are still meeting up every 2 weeks, and its been about 3 months since we first met. So yep online relationships can work.

However if your soft like i am, it might not work depends how easily hurt you get. Its hard having just a relationship and especialy if your hiding it like I have to [cuz im dating a lad obv], so we can't kiss in public and its hard saying bye etc.

I think that people can do whatever you want BUT, I would never marry, date, meet anyone I have got to know through the Internet. Seriously.

If you don't agree with online relationships then please leave this forum, Habbo and every other chat site as all you are saying is that you can't feel for anyone online. Thus, meaning you can't make friends.

Mrchins
19-10-2007, 07:48 PM
no, it means you don't believe in online love?
i don't really see how you can feel something for a person who you don't even know - or even a pixel!?

19-10-2007, 08:23 PM
I think online relationships can work, Once you actually meet someone in real life it becomes a real relationship and is as valid as any other relationship, just what I think. I'm not sure about how serious you can get with just an Internet based relationship and with not meeting the person, that I think is different.

Eg, Telux and Llippy. KEK. Anyone know if he got sent to jail? :<

So yer its right,

A relationship that is based solely on the internet is neither right nor wrong, it simply won't work. In my opinion, require a considerable element of physical contact to be a true relationship and the internet does not provide this contact.
Meeting someone online, deciding you like them and meeting with them on a regular basis and building a relationship from there is of course right and it will work. The internet is becoming a place where people make friends and build relationships, there is nothing wrong with it.

Some long distance, online relationships work. You hear about them every now and again, where a woman in South Africa for example meets up with her online boyfriend every month or so who lives in another country.

I believe internet relationships can work out if the goal of the relationship is to meet in real life. The only problem with that is the vast range of Internet relationships age wise is incredibly big. If you look at online virtual chat rooms, such as HabboHotel or instant messengers, meeting people on the internet through communication especially in non-moderated chat rooms, there is a risk to that. The person might not be who they say they are. Whilst gaining your trust to "love" them who are behind closed doors, they could lead you out of the boundaries of safeness on the internet if you are not careful enough. But, online safety is a point I will not go too far into.

On the more positive side to online dating, I must say that there has been an awesome amount of positive feedback. Adults who are looking for one to love and care for can get what they want. There are special sites which help them to meet the right person in real life and it can go well.

As far as keeping the relationship on the internet is, there are restrictions and as Garion has pointed out in his reply:

In my opinion, require a considerable element of physical contact to be a true relationship and the internet does not provide this contact.

I agree with that point, the internet does restrict the amount of interactions you can carry out. The relationship can still stand to a certain extent. Another problem with keeping a restricted relationship is that if the couple who are involved in the relationship could go out of control and the want to meet that person in real life, and I'm not saying that is going to happen to everyone but if so, that needs to be looked at carefully. I would suggest, depending on age and the usage of what site you met the person, should it be considered to carry out the proper procedure of a relationship over the internet to meet them in real life. I would never suggest any user on HabboHotel or any other virtual chat rooms with safety restrictions because of age matters actually go ahead and meet them in real life to get the full feel of a relationship.


If you don't agree with online relationships then please leave this forum, Habbo and every other chat site as all you are saying is that you can't feel for anyone online. Thus, meaning you can't make friends.

From what I know about this forum, I do believe people have a right to stay whether they believe in online relationships or not. Just because you may believe in online relationships does not mean everyone else has to believe in it. They can still feel for another person or be friends with them. There are options, and of course you can feel for someone on Habbo or any other chat site, because even though you might not see who they really are, there is a person behind that screen who does have feelings, who does feel pain, and who can care for other people. Without the real person there to control the Habbo, the Habbo will not be able to move. And the principal is the same with any other online communication devices.

To the point for people who do not believe in relationships, I'm pretty sure most of them can say that they can still make friends and are not trying to say anyone can't, there are levels. A relationship is different to a friendship in the context that it is used. You don't have to be in a relationship to become friends with someone.

If they're both happy then its fine.

Ramones
21-10-2007, 02:17 PM
i think most the time it's for people who can't get a girlfriend or boyfriend in real life because they have no confidence or whatever, they can act like someone totally different over the internet but then if it does come to meeting up i doubt it will work because people act alot differently over the internet and real life. Of course i'm just talking about habbo teenage lovers, when it's like adult dating agencies it probably can work, two sad people get together. yay

Immenseman
21-10-2007, 03:55 PM
I reckon if both of the people are happy with it then they should be allowed to act how they want. Even if they don't meet up but they're both cool with it then I don't see how it effects anyone else.

Daphne,
21-10-2007, 10:33 PM
It depends. Personally I don't think that it is totally normal, but that all depends on the situation. If it is on say... an online game such as Habbo, I'm not for the idea. I think that it is wrong and is removing kids from the outside world. But then, if it is just two thirteen-year-olds who are just say "hey, love you" to each other, then it's pretty harmless.
Some people meet the love of their life on the internet, and good for them.. but 70%-90% of people you talk to on the internet aren't what/who they claim to be.

A bit risky if you ask me.

Jazza
21-10-2007, 11:10 PM
It depends, if they people meet somewhere like Habbo then it's very sad but sometimes it can be good.

There's a girl I've been talking to for about 3 months now, we met in a chatroom and hit it off and I'm spending christmas with her. I think that's fair enough as it's going somewhere but if it's a 'relationship' just for the sake of it then there's no point.

I don't agree on like having a girlfriend on the internet as a serious one. Like you go on webcam and audio and speak to them daily, say you love them etc.
If it's just one like habbo, it's fine IMO as it's just for the fun of it.

-Soph-
22-10-2007, 04:17 AM
If they meet up then I can see it working.

Like, online.. for example, someone is 45, they broke up with their husband, they probably are/think they are too old to go and meet someone, just like that.
so resorting to the net is probably the easiest thing.
I can see it working.

22-10-2007, 03:33 PM
I'm currently in an on-line relationship. The only reason I am is because my girlfriend moved back to the USA, and I don't get to see her much until next year, the fact I love her and she loves me is enough to keep me going. :)

I'd say, anyone thinking of it. Try to see eachother once (if you can) before you dive into the deep end.

Yeah, it could lead to all sorts of stuff with a murderer killing people that he meets on the internet, but for some people, it's a lifeline to them otherwise they would have no chance of meeting a partner.

22-10-2007, 08:31 PM
Yes if they get pass the whol;e *REMOVED* stage it could work. But theyd need to know what each other look like and talk to each other alot and meet up at some point.

In my opinion an online relationship is too risky. You can never trust anyone online, as the photos they give can be someone else. You never know, and never will know inless you meet them in R/L, by that time you could be too late. It could be some creepy guy that rapes you.

Right now, I'm in a 'e-relationship' with a girl I met on the internet probably at the start of summer. I seriously think I've fell in love with her as we both believe that on things like MSN, you get to talk to the personality behind the person, as there is no environment or uncomfortable feelings while talking (which may be encountered face2face). In about 2-3 weeks time, I'm actually meeting up with her and I don't think I'll be able to leave her after the day.

Basically, I think they're ok if you know what you're doing and if you are responsible enough to know between right and wrong of an e-relationship. This means you shouldn't really strip or describe sexual acts on MSN via webcam/typing, as you never know whos on the other end... But I never have done that anyway, as it's just way too risky and well, with the amount of expose sites nowadays you'd be pretty screwed hehe.

There is the risk of it being a 65 year old drunken man with a divorced relationship and 5 children all starting jobs in the garbage industry, but sometimes when you know it's right, you really have to follow your heart about it. It's reccomended you go with parents too, which is what I'm doing as she lives far away (for the first time I'm meeting her of course). Her parents are going too, so we'll both get to know eachother and expand on a healthy relationship of trust and love.

Really, they're right if you know what you're doing. :)

I agree. You can really get to know someone without having to stare at them, go out places. MSN has it's advantages but e-relationships also have their disadvantages. Most of them are long distance, or ot within the same city as one another so it involves a lot of traveling which after time can become frustrating...

I totally agree with your 1st paragraph their :)

For younger kids it's just sad, most of them just want to be able to say "LOOK, I HAVE A BOYFRIEND." For teenagers its absolutely pathetic!! They should be going out & get rl boyfriends/Girlfriends.

Someone mentioned something about "you get to talk to the personality behind the person." Sorry, but it just wont work this way, call me shallow but I'd NEVER have a relationship with an "ugly" person ;)

Yeh, i've been out with like 2/3 guys that weren't drop dead gorgeous, but they were funny, even if I met a funny person online, I just wouldn't ever think of a relationship with them.

I do admit e-dating like 3 people, all from hxf LOLOLOL, but yeh. idk, yhyh.


older people, yeh there usually fat amercicans so they can just go get married frm da nets init fnx xoxox

I have to say right.

I've known somebody online for about 1 year, we both agree to never see each other in real life , but we just have so much in common. The strangest thing is, he's from Holland, but jeeze I relate to him a lot, he's sort of the brother I never had, we sort out each other's problems and just talk about anything except ''PIXPLZ'' ''KKCAMONPLZ''

On a more serious note - Right, I know many people who I have never met and they are all pretty cool. If it wasn't for one girl I would never have found my own music to like :D

However, on the otherside there is pedo's etc. But to be honest. Unless you are braindead you would never meet up with someone you didn't know if you had never seen their face live (not a picture)

Its right up to a point, but if you do meet in rl it may not be the same experience you had online. Also I feel that a better relationship begins face to face and not over a computer screen.

Who ever has experienced love will know that there is no right or wrong with online dating.

It's how you feel both physically and mentally.

Who ever says that it is impossible to fall in love online do not know what love is.

Love can be achieved anywhere and anyhow.

Stephen
31-10-2007, 11:50 PM
I actually think its good that people have e-relationships even if you don't meet up with them straight away. (aslong as you know who your talking to. Maybe send pics, go on video on msn etc)


But also I think people find it more comfortable saying their feelings for another person online without having to go face-2-face with them. And if they feel its safe and know perfectly who they are talking to, they maybe could meet up.

Next thing you know

We meet every 2 weeks and are together for most of her school holidays..

When we aren't together we're always on the phone or talking on the internet..

We've been together for 14 months now.. so yeah in my opinion internet relationships do work aslong as it isnt strictly over the internet.

Online relationships are fine, I prefer it between when they are adults rather than children.

Also I find doing it over habbo is kind of sad.

If your on something like msn, you get to know them and meet them.. sure it could work

I prefer dating in real life however, because you never really know what the person at the other end of the internet is really like.

I think you can learn more about a person online anyway. Because you don't spend most of your time staring and you have unlimited resources, you can find out what they like and share interests by finding links etc to pages online.

I personally never "fall in love" with anyone purely due to their looks, because I know too many good looking people who have the personalities of a grumpy rock. On that basis, I would much rather have a real relationship with someone who I have got to know irl than an online relationship, but meeting someone online is no different to meeting them in a bar so I suppose it could work.

Interesting question.

I think internet relationships rely on a false sense of security and trust within another person, whom lets face it you've never met or are never going to meet. Fair enough If you don't take it seriously, However sometimes I feel that the supossed "love" you feel for an online person really is just the formation of a strong friendship and not the pang of "true love."

My major concern would be that of you don't really know if the person is who they say they are, so for all we know you could be dating someone completely different from whatever your expectations are. On the plus side though, the attraction through internet dating is that people go for personality, over look most of the time; Although then that could open up a whole new debate about people who arn't themselves.

Meh, I disagree with internet dating though I wouldn't condemn those who do so :)

I think people should be allowe to do what the want. I personally don't agree if you never meet them in real life. But if they meet online then get tohether face to face, where's the harm in that?

I know a few people who met each other off sites (faceparty etc) and are together now. I don't think there's anything wrong with meeting your partner online - it's the 21st century. The only thing I think is a bit strange is when they've never met yet consider themselves in a relationship and have cyber and stuff

online relationships can work but because of distance, it can be difficult to maintain.
half the time, it's just a fluke or something.
but sometimes, people do meet up and persue a relationship in person.
it depends.
sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

I don't think relationships like that would work. I personally like it when the girl is actually there for me and we are interacting. I suppose it would work if like she had to go away on business or i had to and we would reunite again. See what im saying? :]

Online relationships are a good way to meet a nice person.
Most times when you first see someone you automaticlly create an opinion of them (most times not even having to say ne thing to them).
You meet a person just by talking most of the time and you get to know what they are like on the inside.

I have had one major relationship over the net and we only broke up due to me moving to the UK.
I met her on habbo lol and she was like 'asl?' (as you did when u were yunger :P) and i sed my age and everything and she was like oh you live in Canada too then i found i lived in the same city as her just 7 miles apart.
So we went out on habbo which now i look back seem childish but was good i added her on msn and we had known each other bout 5 weeks when we decided to meet, just so you know i had already seen pics of her on msn and she was hot. I was so worried she wouldn't like me in person but when i did meet her it was grat and we got on so well. I dated her for about 6 months then had to move to the UK (yay:rolleyes:). Still talk to her but long distance dont work :(. so over all i would say that the online relationship worked for me i was just lucky we could meet :)

I don't think there's anything wrong with online relationships as long as both parties are adults and they both understand that people on the web may not always be who they seem, and for that reason they take it slowly and when and if they choose to meet up they do so in a public place. In fact in some ways the internet could be a v ery good place to meet people because there is none of the pressure associated with other forms of dating and if you meet up yuo at least know something about the person before.

Admittedly there are risks and of course for some people it's better to meet people face to face so I hope that internet relationships never overtake real ones, but for some people it can be the perfect way to meet people because the internet is so huge that you have the opportunity to meet people with similar interests and hobbies to yourself that you would never normally find through everday living.

In my opinion an online relationship is too risky. You can never trust anyone online, as the photos they give can be someone else. You never know, and never will know inless you meet them in R/L, by that time you could be too late. It could be some creepy guy that rapes you.

That would only happen to someone who is stupid. What about:

- Webcams
- Skype
- Mobile calls

You can learn alot from webcams and Skype.

I think online relationships are right, and i've been in many, but they only work if you are willing to meet the person (eventually) in real life.

I think theres two categories for this, theres online relationships over things such as habbo hotel, between what, 15 year olds. This i think, is wrong, it can't possibly mean anything at this stage.

Then theres places like matchmaker.com, Adults register here and look for a match, i believe this has some good about it, because i know many people of found love through this.

18-11-2007, 07:37 PM
Yes it could be a creepy guy who rapes you and webcams don't eliminate that, as you can fake stuff on a webcam. but surely you can meet up in a public place and not go anywhere alone witht hem until you're entirely comfortable andt ehn its no riskier than a non-online relationship where you didn;t know the person

something rather funny about this post. whether it's the fact you can't get women fullstop, or the fact you call people losers because you are happy about your 2000 posts. and you seem to have clocked up about 300+ posts in a few days - loser! you can get to know someone really well online in my opinion, unless they are sad enough to lie which i wouldn't see why.

whilst i agree with your opinion, i don't quite get what you mean by "half the time it's just a fluke or something".

yeah because you could pretend you were a mere (not mear, fool) teenager but have you ever heard of webcams? or skype? this is the 21st century!

I honestly think Online Relationships work only if there is Honesty and True Bliss.
I've Met someone really special over the Net.
I would never have thought to have Fallen "head over heels" as some may call it.

If you want a Online Relationship to work out. (in my opinion) Meet up. Take the time though to get comfortable etc etc.

You have to be willing to wait. When that Special moment comes it will be the best day of your life.

Every relationship involves some sort of risk of you getting hurt, and if you meet in a public palce with someone you meet on the internet then theres no more danger of getting hurt, physically or emotionally, than if you meet in real life. Obviously some sort of caution does need to be used, but the internet can and is a good way of meeting people you may otherwise never meet so as long as you're old enough and take care because not everyone is who they say they are then the wrost thing that could happen is that you meet up with someone and they#re a really bad date :)
