iheartrock answered Monday July 23 2007, 10:38 pm: My opinion on online relationships is that it depends if you've met them before in real life, because it is ok if you already know them, but not if they're strangers. They could be completely lieing about who they are. [ iheartrock's advice column | Ask iheartrock A Question ]
LOL_x0x answered Monday July 23 2007, 4:24 pm: While I've never personally been in a romantic online relationship, I think both can work out well if you each commit. Friendships are a lot easier, though. I have some great online friends here on advicenators actually, and they work out fine. Just keep up with your friends, talk to them, and see where it goes.
Romantically, there's more involved. You each have to trust one another. I, and I'd think most others would agree, believe that trust is the msot important factor here because you can't always be with the person and you can't always know what they're doing. As long as you have a lot of trust built, along with a solid friendship and good communication, I believe it can work. While that's just my opinion, I know other disagree completely. It's really up to you.
Good Luck!
icey0990 answered Monday July 23 2007, 4:22 pm: i would not suggest for you to actually go out and look for an online relationship. i am not totally against them, but i think they are very hard to maintain. if you and your online bf will only be apart for a short time, i can see things working out. but if you are so far apart or if there is no way for you to actually be together in person, i find them to be pointless. i beelive they are pointl;ess because you will become so attached to this guy by talking to him and it will kill you inside to know you cant see him or be with him. trust me i know the feeling. i believe at such a young age you should be dating people you can actually be with. whatever you decide it is your choice, this is just my opinion
greentytea answered Monday July 23 2007, 4:14 pm: whatever advice i give you, you can either take it or leave it. use your best judgement.
ONLINE RELATIONSHIPS aren't completely bad, but isn't a strong foundation for a healthy relationship.
if you can't talk to them in person, how do you know or how can you tell what they are hiding? they could be hiding their whole life, and lying to you.
berriesss287 answered Monday July 23 2007, 4:06 pm: Online relationships..
Well I wouldn't say they're good, but they're not ALWAYS bad. Usually online relationship's turn out dangerous whether it's someone getting raped, or even killed.
Because most people aren't who they say they are. But if you've met this person, or have spoken to them on the phone, then it probably isn't that bad.
Yet, that's just my opinion. The people below have different feelings as well. It's really up to you if your considering an online relationship. Just be careful!
PH03N1X answered Monday July 23 2007, 2:44 pm: well with online relationships you can never be too sure i mean about trusting someone and who they really are i mean anyone can easily lie about their age, sex and things like that so it would be best not to but really its up to you [ PH03N1X's advice column | Ask PH03N1X A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Monday July 23 2007, 2:34 pm: I think online relationships work if both people are committed to talk to one another. Obviously meaning a romantic online relationship. If both people met of course, things could honestly keep going for awhile. Feelings are the same if you truly love someone, no matter what the circumstances. I would probably say that if you haven't met that person [or at least haven't talked to them on the phone] it would probably be a bad idea. Things can get extremely weird & it is the internet. Not everyone is who they say they are. If you know the person, then it could work out just fine. Friendships definitely can work out. Probably better than romantic relationships even. Friends can just message each other back & forth no problem. Like I said before, as long as both people want to talk to each other & are committed, they work out just fine.
