I tend to be very careful now about internet relationships, lots of people on the forum know why.

At the moment I'm taking things very slow with a girl ive known from habbo/skype for a couple of years. only started talking to her like 5 months ago, and im happy where we are atm. We're meeting up in a few weeks in London and going on a date, and then we're hopefully going on the London Eye.

Ah that's cute Jazz.
Took my ex girlfriend on our first date at the London Eye :) was real cute x

[AlexJRiley]

I used to (when I was 13) not anymore.

[Empired]

I would consider one as long as it was what I consider "proper" rather than Habbo or something lol. By "proper" I mean skype calls regularly, texts, type regularly and meet up very occasionally if possible.

Would be reluctant to enter one but I suppose it depends :)

I agree with that, I couldnt handle a habbo relationship.. tried them, but never again.

I would consider a skype one with texts and meeting up sometimes yea, though tbh I think I would much rather do one offline really even though it would be much worse confidence wise

[Inseriousity.]

Nope I wouldn't, don't see the point.

JOKING ROSY JOKING!

[buttons]

sigh. purely online; no, meeting up offline; yes because it's still a relationship, much and such the same as those who have partners in the army or work offshore etcccc.

i don't see mine as online relationship, we were never in a relationship until we physically met. don't think id ever actively seek out a partner, was never my intention to find a boyfriend on the Internet and i prob wouldn't use dating websites unless i was 30 n had no other choice!!

although i couldn't do one where you have very few opportunities to see each other ie if you live thousands of miles apart, i struggle n we're only 200 miles apart!! oh and hardest part is explaining to narrow minded people about it who somehow think your relationship is less b.c you met online when it's absolutely not.

[bam..its..abbz]

I prefer real life ones because online you can't just go meeting up with people you don't hardly know for obvious reasons, and the fact in real you can be with them more and spend actually time together instead of sat talking in a habbo room about bacon hair

[MKR&*42]

Solely online ? Never.

I honestly don't know what my position on them is otherwise

[e5]

Wouldn't do online. Never know what the other person truly feels and stuff and I'd hate no contact. Used to E-date when I was like 10 lol but wasn't serious type. I wouldn't ever do it seriously online. Too many fitties to choose from irl, or I'd meet the online person irl lol, there is some fitties on here!

[geo]

if i knew that this online relationship could progress to something more like a long distance relationship, where it'd only be online (skype, texting, etc) whilst we weren't actually meeting up, then yeah i'd consider it.

i've liked people online before but (online) relationships scare me so i've always managed to back out. i also assume that i'd just disappoint the person i was in a relationship with if they met up with me so yeah, it scares me.

that shee doesn't work

[Jurv]

i wouldn't say no to having one if we met up and stuff. but as other people have said, i wouldn't have one on habbo or whatever without the intention of actually meeting lol

[Daltron]

rarely works online. I much prefer rl dating :)

[Ekelektra]

No I wouldn't ever do an online relationship. Don't see much point if there's a low chance of meeting the person or even seeing them regularly.

[Zak]

Depends what you mean by "online"

I met my mrs on Facebook but she remembers me from school (I didn't lol). Habbo relationships are a no-no for me but they are entirely possible and could work I suppose.

I couldn't have a long distance relationship either, no point tbh. Would just invite them to move in with me now though :P

[lawrawrrr]

I would never, and have never, considered a purely online relationship. It has to have a physical element to work, I think.

Although most people here know I've met 3 of my exes on here, and another on the Internet, although he did go to the same uni as me, and I wouldn't have changed... much... about them. I do think that long distance relationships are more difficult, and I think you need to be very mature to keep them alive. Next year my boyfriend's living 200 miles from me so it's going to be hard but thanks to the internet we don't have to break up as we can keep in contact easily, which is good I guess.

Also with how busy I am with all the things I do, internet relationships are better as I can always reply to a skype message, but not always go out with the person. When I'm looking at prospective partners I always choose people who are similarly addicted to the internet just so they understand. That's why it's easy to date someone from here: they understand how much work I'm putting in. Thankfully boyfriend now is unjudgemental and very understanding so he asks about hx and the things i do :D

3 ex's. You **** ;) lmao. Only joking. I see where you're coming from, some people prefer online relationships if they're busy (like at uni).. but what happens when it comes to living together? Will it be the same?

[wixard]

internet relationships NO

if you see them in real life regularly then fair enough i can totally understand that and justify that...
every person i've spoken to online regularly probably knows me better than all my ex bfs and all my current friends
so i think it's nice to be with people you've met on the internet, it just seems like it's easier to communicate once you finally meet

saying that i couldn't do it if it was long distance, it'd just be too hard. like even when i was in london last yr with that guy and came home i really wanted to make it work but it just DOESN'T. not for me anyway, i don't have the patience

5 boyfriends in 3 years ISN'T THAT MUCH LOLOLOL

yeah i totally agree, it's hard to make the step from online to living together and I'd never recommend that. You need some experience of being together a lot, even if it's just moving closer to each other, imho.

;) Guess how many I've had? 1. :Innocent:

[Yawn]

no sir not for me

[noddy]

would rather have an irl relationship. online with no physical contact? no thanks jeff

[Phil]

;) Guess how many I've had? 1. :Innocent:

One boyfriend in three years is good ;)

I don't have a problem with online dating and believe it can work. Personally it'd only work for me if we could meet up irl somewhat regularly. But als, I am happy with my girlfriend who lives ten mins away so Ima keep her :P

[lucaskf390]

Only online relationship = only friends. I talk to them by habbo.

[Meanies]

I used to always think they would never work out, but until you're in one you never really know. Myself and Absently; met on this forum a good few years ago and got talking, to the point where we were basically together but would never say anything official until we met. In November 2010 we met and after 2 days we were an item. 5 months later we were living together (after having to move country and difficult circumstances after doing so). 2 years an 8 months (tomorrow) we're still together and although we've been through more than a 'local' relationship would, we're still together.

So basically, I've gone from not believing in them to totally believing in them!

Im gonna put a downer on what you said and tell you I was in a relationship a few weeks before we met x

but its ok cus he knew we were gna be xox

[Cerys]

Yep, I had a few when I was like, 10 haha.

Then the most recent relationship is the one which has pretty much stopped me wanting to internet date again. I honestly still feel so bad about it ~ I was a cow tbh. Still can't believe I'd do something horrid like that. Neverever again going to hurt someone like that, still sorry about it ;;

[Absently]

I've had some when I was 10ish and I mainly did it because I got free furni :P If something stays just online, I don't think it'll work. You need to see each other, even if it's very rare. Also, in a relationship you need to know how you feel together. Everyone can appear differently on the internet, that's why you really do need to meet up. Before me and Jake met up, we both prepared ourselves for the fact that we may not like each other irl, in case things were different and settled that we'd continue to be friends if this was the case.

ya i agree u have to think logically and not assume its going to be as amazing online, luckily for me it was hehe. we did meet as friends and the period between agreeing to meet up and actually meeting was hard because we both knew it could mean we don't like each other and that'd be the end of everything. it's best to meet ASAP and as friends so you both, or one of you, don't get too heartbroken.

[Aaron]

Nope not for me, just not something I'd be into. :P

there's a word for that here we call it prostitution... LMAO! No but *sobs at urs and jakes story*

O/T

For an 'online relationship' to work I believe you have to meet and be in physical contact regularly however, it's then not an online relationship. It's a real relationship, just because you meet somebody over the net doesn't make it an online relationship lol. I'd class an online relationship as purely online, embarrassingly when I was younger I had one (to a girl lol) I think I was probably about 13 and we classed ourselves as being 'together'. It actually went on for about a year but then I think we both grew up and realised nothing was ever going to become of it, so we just remained friends. Online friendships are totally different to online relationships imo.

Anyway it wont be long before everyone at Habbox has met every member irl with the current trend of everybody meeting up lmao

[2LQ]

If you're like 12 I guess it's acceptable, I much prefer one with regular contact in person, I don't know I guess I just couldn't connect properly with someone over the internet.

[Swinkid]

No, Had them when I was younger. Big part of a relationship is being together / doing stuff together So I don't see them working now I'm older.

[Aaron]

didnt you edate kellie

No hahaha!

[beth]

both of my long term relationships started online generally because i'm very social media-y. the first long term (almost 3 years) i met on here when i was like 14/15 and didn't get with him until i was 18 so that was pretty sweet because i got to see him grow up and i knew tonnes about him. and then my current relationship i'm in i met him through a friend on tumblr but we didn't start anything until we met. and then i moved in with him so it didn't stay online.

long distance relationships are very hard and can make you very lazy. i know my first boyfriend (who is still around on here) wouldn't mind me saying the distance definitely led to him not realising how much more i needed and then when you translate to full-time being together it can be a massive adjustment because you don't know that person at length.

[Betsie_Curatola]

I met my last boyfriend on Tumblr and we were together for about a year and a half. He only lived on the other side of London but it took around an hour and thirty minutes by tube because of all the changes so we only saw each other at weekends. I wouldn't have been able to keep it purely online because I just get way too attached and needy so I have to have something physical there.

I've met a few guys from Habbo who I had little things with but nothing ever serious. I don't think I could ever do serious with someone I met on Habbo, even if we Skype'd/texted/called each other all the time. Idk, I just wouldn't be able to do it personally.

[Special]

no way, how anyone can have a successful online relationship i will never know, relationships aren't supposed to happen over screens

[Gibs960]

I don't think they can ever last unless you live fairly close. Like half an hour or hour drive.

With my ex we were introduced through a friend and never really met for about 2 months, he was the only person I'd ever met from an online relationship, so it took a lot of guts. I would get involved with them, but now I feel more confident about talking to others in real life and I don't think I'd need to as much - unless I knew the person already and I was just getting to know them better online as well as offline.

If someone wants to go into one they should know that it takes effort, I wouldn't judge anyone who did have an online relationship as I have had many before. However, I find if there isn't a hope of you meeting then there is no point of forming a relationship at an online level and I don't think anyone should have their feelings toyed with like that. With my online exes many of them had said we would meet, some said it'd be soon and others were a bit longer. One even suggested that I just went to Scotland just to meet him and stay at his house, but he didn't put in the effort, and it's needed for both to do that if they want it to work. Also, I think talking is adamant too, whether it be verbally or just them typing, they should have a similar connection to those relationships that are offline, that socialness. I do agree that a physical element is needed as you grow feelings for the person, you want them to go out with, cuddle, everything, but you can't do that behind a screen.

[.::ISammy::.]

I believe that online relationships can be good sometimes in boosting confidence, however in regards to reality i think actual offline based ones give you a bit more leeway in relation to what you can actual do. Online relationships are act as training for real life ones. Thats what i believe anyway.

[Rachel]

I'm not really fussy for online relationship. I prefer face to face and knowing eachother then rather the internet. You never know who is behind the screen. I do not find online dating 100% safe.

[wiktoria]

only if i met up with them

[Onirela]

I have but I'm quite wary about it now. It's easy for you to be fooled into being with a fake person which is poop.
I would only again if everything is trusted, u get me.
They're very suspicious.

[haylashayla]

yeah it's cute. I like people who LDR
