Internet Relationships... Does it work?

[Barbara Jones]

Hi everyone, my name is Barbara. I've just completed a compelling love story! Based on true events this story is about two people who meet and fall in love while chatting on-line (internet). This couple is confronted with many challenges as they struggle against all odds to express their love and affection to one another.

The woman in this story battle against public prejudice and family opinions that stand in the way of her being with the man she loves....even if it's not her husband. This is some story.

Please share your thoughts about what, I've written so far.

From what I ahve seen on other boards it does work for some people and others they are against it. If I was single I would give it a try but it all matters on the person. Good topic....

I met my husband on an internet dating site. It turned out we live very close to each other. We got to know each other online for about 6 weeks, met at a restaurant and felt like old friends right from the start, and have been together ever since. We got married in September, almost two years after we first met.

Sounds like your story's about cheating though.

don't like that.

i think its great, if you trust someone and can share all of lifes beauties with them then you should go for it!! i also think the internet is a great thing, it provides you with a gateway to meet and discuss things with people everywhere, you may have never had the opportunity to meet you love, to experience those great feelings we all know!!1 ;)

Hi again,

Alot of us agree that meeting some one on-line can work. But how far will we go to make it last if one of us, from this Internet Relationship, live in a distant town, state or even another country?

Can it still work?

Can it still work?


It can work but remember that its going to take that much longer to meet that person if they live in another country or if it gets serio0us then one of you has to move which that can be hard itself.

I met my boyfriend of 16 months online and we have a wonderful relationship. We talked online for a week or two and then started talking on the phone. We live about 45 mins from each other, so after staying up all night talking a couple of times, we had a date, he came to my house and we went out to dinner and to play in an arcade. We fell in love quickly and still feel the same after almost a year and a half. We see each other 3-4 days a week usually. We're moving in together in April, and will be getting married in about two years.

I think it's much easier when you live within a reasonable distance of each other. For us the internet was really just a way of being introduced, and then we took it offline from there. Long distance online relationships can be very difficult, because even if you do get to meet each other in person, it doesn't happen for very long or very often and it's hard to build a relationship when you are hardly ever physically near the other person. It's certainly possible to do, but it takes a big commitment on the part of both partners, and at least one person at some point will have to make a huge change in their life, like moving close to the other.

Anyway, I think the internet is a good place to meet people as long as you're careful, but people should avoid getting themselves involved in long distance online relationships unless they are fully prepared for the difficulties they present.

We all know the Internet is a big window of opportunity and we must be careful of these opportunities. Since many people are using the Internet for dating purposes, safety first should be on the forefront of their minds. (Use this medium wisely!)

Internet relationships is a growing population that can't be ignored any more. People are making this way of social behavior a common practice.

My research is extensive on Internet Relationships and I am still receiving hundreds of letters from Internet Couples from around the world sharing their experiences. Most of our feedback from our readers showed results of marriage while others resulted in devastation.

Is it safe to say internet meetings between faceless names on-line is taking the place of meeting people at churches, parties and other social gatherings?

People are looking outside their box (environment) for something different and better than what they're use too! People are tired of being alone and they're seeking companionship where ever they can find it!

And it seems to me the internet is where they're looking. People are still downing the idea of finding a mate on-line because of their lack of knowledge.

Look forward to hearing from you all!

I think that it is ok to do on-line dating as long as you are very careful. I wouldnt go off and meet anyone, I would definatly have to get to know them online and on the phone before I attempted meeting them.

It's scary because people could make themselves out to be something that their not. But I guess one could do that in face to face dating as well.

As long as it is making people happy, then I think it is great.

They cross several predudices, no matter what your size, colour, gender, appearance or marital status, we all use what we have forgotten so much about , our imagination.
perhaps the best thng to d is to overcome these barriers before all the other bullshit gets in the way of actually liking the person you communicate with with
we`ll be performing weddings over the internet so why not another country, just think, a marriage made in heaven. Not spoiled by having to live with each other!

Well, I have been with my "internet Love" For 5 years now :) We met in a Chat room and shortly after met in "real life" And have been in love ever since, We have 2 little girls together and we are very happy.

Both our famlies had a little bit of prejudice, Mine mainly was like "what were you thinking, he could have been a killer, a rapist..etc" His "she is probably a , finding guys online" etc.. But they have gotten over it :)
