I met this girl on the net over 6 months ago & our relationship has evolved since... I'm in Paris, she's in the Canari Islands & the world seems to conspire against our meeting! We both have little money & a lot of work. We're pretty much living a virtual something...which is totally time & energy-consuming, & most importantly: unreal! We spend 4 hours a day on the phone, hours on MSN, etc. I like her a whole lot & think it could work if we get to be in the same country... Is all that wishful thinking?!!!

Nothing is ever signed sealed and delivered necessarily.  Some of the best relationships come out of the worst circumstances, but most of those come out of Hollywood.\n\nI think the best advice that can be given for this situation is to enjoy your online romance but do not pine your whole life away on it.  Let your significant other know you care a lot but life must go on.  If you make someone your everything, if you end up losing them you have nothing.  Try to remember that.

I have. I met my fiance online years ago. We were friends first for a few years, now we're planning our wedding. He lives in Georgia and I'm in Canada. Its a long distance relationship, but we make it work. I'll be moving down there pretty soon. Not all relationships online work as great as our has. To make a long story short, online relationships can and do work out for people and I've known quite a few people who have had online relationships and are now married and have a great life together. Its not for everyone though.

Yes.  You can fall in love with someone over the internet.  It is like meeting a guy from a bar.  You really don't know what their intentions are or if they are who they claim to be.  Love is a risk.  You have to be willing to take that chance.  Don't live the rest of your life what if.  If you get your heart brok- so what, move on with life.  I did.  I used to talk to someone that I never met.  I was falling hard.  We talked about everything.  Then...poof kramarillo_1 was no more.  He disappeared.  I did not even have closure.  But I got over it.  I dust myself off and gave it another shot.  I started talking to this other dude.  He sounded mean when we spoke on the phone.  It sounded like he had no emotion in his voice.  He came by plane to see me.  After that...game over.  Soon after that, I was selling all I owned and traveling with only what could fit in my car to start a new life with him.  I truly feel like Cinderella.  I have never been more in love.  I remember when we started talking.......we would have 5 hour conversations and talk periodically throughout the day.  We could not get enough of each other.  Even though we were different in many ways.......we completed each other.  I am so glad I took that chance.  Just imagine if I listened to my friends and family.  I would probably be single and lonely once again.  I found my other half.  But you do have to be careful.  There are many crazy people out there.  By talking to this person on a regular basis the true side will reveal itself sooner or later.  I have experienced the most mannerable person turning into a complete stalker.  You will feel it.  You know what's good.  Good Luck.

Chalk it up as a life experience, and move on. Long distant relationships seldom work, especially, it would seem to me, ones between two different countries. It is possible, I suppose, but brothers and sisters seldom hold hands in America, that would be more of a European thing. Really, you two live so far apart, how is it going to work out anyway?

The only dating I have done as an adult has been from on here.  I usually kind of know the person, have talked on the phone and online for quite awhile before we meet.  I have usually dreamed about the meeting for some time.  I tend to live a bit in a fantasy world.  I think about will we have as much fun together laughing, will he see me and think that I am not what he expected, etc.  I don't worry about how I will see the other person because I have already formed an emotionally satisfying bond from talking for awhile.

I personally do think it works at the moment I'm in a relationship which started over the Internet, although i have not met him yet, we have such a connection and i really love him. we have been going out around 7months now and its been 7 of the best months of my life.

me and my guy was online and i read him you question..this is da answer he gave me ....\n\n"We almost are in the same situation as you..I'm gonna go to another country for 4 years for my higher studies and she will only see me few times a year.. the thing is this is not as difficult as it seems.. dear sis you are not the first one to go through this.. there are loads of people who came through this or if not you have us... even we were pretty much worried in the first place as what to do... but let me give an advice to you... don't let go... just hold on...we are going to have a harder time than you even... cos it's a way longer period and we are both in seperate other countries which is not our mothercountry... so sister the distance doesn't matter...the only thing you have to do is to have a long distance dedication..... the key thing is to keep in touch as much as ppossible... not seeing your guy is tough... i know... but with time you may be able to adapt to that... just keep him in your heart..i'm just saying.. "so close no matter how far, couldn't be much more from the heart, forever trusting who we are , and nothing else matters.." goodluck sister... this will be posted by my girl who's in a country so far away while i'm writing this...\n\nhy im his gal hear ..darling  im teling u pls go ahead i dont regreat..taking the chance caz my guy is da best no matter how far he is his jus near my heart..and his all mine ..dont b scard i ws scrad my self....belive me ...i didnt know wht to do but jus go aead ..its better dan nt knwing wht u 2 wil end up with.

i don't think it will ever work unless you meet and actually hit it off in real life. Some people are different when you talk to them on the net and when you talk to them in real life.

almost 3 years ago i met a wonderful man.  He and i met online by accident and started chatting.  after almost a year of that, we finally met and it was so wonderful!  We were in love for the next year and half.  we are still good friends and visit each other as often as possible (long distance relationship) I love him with all my heart and he loves me too, just the distance plays a huge sad role in our lives.  No real chance of us being together as a couple on an everyday basis.  he cant leave his hometown in canada due to his job and other things and i cant leave mine because i have small children and my job here. so other than that detail, we would still be together as a couple.

long distance relationships are really hard to hold together but if you try hard enough it'll be alright.  i had a boyfriend that lived in germany because he was in the army.  i really thought he could be faithful to me because the whole time while he was gone, i def was.  i mean, it might not be big but i read some stuff on this girl's profile that left a comment on his myspace and it was pretty discusting.  that just let me know that he really wasn't that into me and that it just wasn't meant to be.  good luck girl.  sometimes it does work out; just very seldomly.  ♥ a l y s e

Its possible to fallen in love with someone on net. I'm having that relation from last 2 years. We are having understanding that we are quite far, different status and having different lifestyle but our feelings are same with each other. I met him first face to face after 6 months of online. He made me confident and more positive towards life...I can say he made a girl into a women. We share our happiness and probs, its an unconditional bounding between us which we wish would last forever. I wish you would also have such beautiful relation which i have.

Actually, I know about long distance relationships all too well. They can work as long as the communication stays very strong and there is a bond between you. Eventually, you're going to have to work on getting the distance fixed, but as long as your connection stays strong, it'll be just fine.

Too busy moving for three months??? Not a single email...im...message on your phone...nothing???  I think maybe you need to give the girl you are currently dating a chance...dream girl sounds too good to be true.  If she tried im'ing you wouldn't you have received an offline message???  \n\nDon't you think it's unfair to the girl you've been dating to just all the sudden say oops sorry found the other girl I was talking with three months ago so see ya later?  I mean you must be attracted to the girl you are currently with or you wouldn't be dating her...if dream girl is the one for you and it's meant to be you will find each other when the time is right.  \n\nHow serious are things with your current girlfriend?  Have you moved past the just getting to know you stage where you are both still seeing other people or have you made some sort of commitment?  You now have a third party in the picture and need to consider her feelings as well.  I hope you think long and hard before making a final decision...you know the grass is not always greener on the other side.  Also have you thought maybe of just having a friendship with dream girl first...if there is one thing I have learned it is that friendship first makes a huge difference in how a relationship will progress.  Exploring a friendship while dating someone else may give all of you a chance to see what the future holds without hurting someone's feelings.  Who knows maybe you and the girl you are currently dating will decide that you are just better off as friends...there are lots of possibilities...try being honest with your current girlfriend and get her advice...you may be surprised.

It depends...how long have you two known each other and who will be making the sacrifice to move away? Let me guess you'll be the one. What are you leaving behind and is moving really worth it? Have you two known each other long enough?

my bf i met on answers. it's going great. other guys i've met online....and we went out for a while. so i'm not opposed to meeting someone online as long as you know in time you'll meet each other. it IS possible to fall in love this way. :)
