Online Relationships

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
