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.

You mean cheating on your spouse ?  Yes it is I think...I think on - line relationships are in some form a way of being unfaithful infact its worse in a sense because you can get emotionaly attached because you start knowing the person well and thinking THINKING you are in love with that person...its a totally unrealistic thing unless you take it to the next level and meet.  But yup to me it is...think about it, what would you do if you saw your spouse doing that?  Id flip out, shove the puter up his azz break it on his head and then um well id take it from there heh.

Please be very careful, what you may read in or hear, isn't what you may get. Online words, are just words. How do you know you can trust this person, they already know what you desire, or what you want just from chatting with you, the person could be saying all things that you want to see and hear but it may not be real. Just don't jump to fast, marriage is a big step, a commitment. Please slow down and have him slow, for both parties to make sure this is what you really want. I wish you luck and happiness.

CoCo, I do feel the same way as you and I can understand your frustration. It is hard to tell sometimes who is honest out here in "cyberspace" but just give it some time and hopefully you will find some truthful people here too. Hang in there, okay!

person, person person! would you be impressed if you were asked out via a pc? it may be easier for you to do but the relationship will be on a much better foundation if you do it in person!

I hope you date somebody off of the computer, or else the it would be pretty hard to have a physical relationship.  \n\nYou can date somebody off of the computer, but you had better make sure that they are who they say they are first.  There are a lot of weirdo's pretending to be something that they are not just to get to young people on the internet.

If the occurance was computer related, maybe getting away from the computer and staying away from it would help you both to interact with each other more and not give him the opportunity to stray again. Open communication with complete honesty about why it happened in the first place would be a good place to start dealing with it. Trust is gained and earned, when its earned its valued, if its blindly given its taken for granted. Take time and deal with the hurt and understand that pain is a part of it and not dwell on just the pain, that would blind you to everything else. If you love them and want it to work it will take time and it will take both of you. A relationship isnt worth having without both partners working on it. Good luck, hopefully you find yourselves in a better place when its all resolved.

FIRST OFF\nPeeps with relationships hitting this pagr, neeed to BTFO.\nNow then.  Realise as few things hun.\n1:  Internet relationships do not just happen.  It takes time, and commucation.  I know, cause I had a 2 month long one.\n2:  Distance must NOT be a factor in your online relationship.\n3:  Take a long hard look at yourself if you are begging for a boyfriend.  If you really need one, then you have issues that need to be taken care of.  You should be independant and not need another to live with.\n4:Now i do know i should answer your question, so I have to proudly say no, but leave a counter-offer of friendship on the table.  If you assept, look for my e-mail address in my profile.  If not, best wishes.

Yes, I have had one for 3 years with the same woman.\n\nWe have four beautiful cyber children and a virtual dog!\n\nWe are curious to meet but why risk such a beautiful thing.  Maybe once our kids have grown up and left the Internet we will try it

Geeks need love too, but tell him he can interface with YOUR database or you're gonna have system failure! LOL Failing that, tell him you're running too hot, and you need him to cool you off or you'll lose your memory and his relationship's gonna crash!\nSeriously though, u might ask him if his OTHER girlfriend's last name is .jpg....internet porn ruins marriages...

'I would agree with everything Mindy said. For I too am in an identical situation to her. There's nothing wrong with meeting people thro' the internet, and if you then fall in love, distance becomes just a hurdle to overcome. In fact, meeting and falling in love thro the internet may be more real because the natural male/female urges that can sometimes get in the way, initially are not there. And so, you build up a strong friendship first. And that is the foundation of a strong relationship.So, definately, go for it

Its really fun....I'm going through the same thing myself...my girlfriend of 2 yrs called it off 3 days ago and I'm suck in the same predicament. I absolutely can relate to you because I'm afraid that I won't ever find someone that I care and love. Not to mention she was my first girlfriend. To make it worse she tells me that she doesn't really see a future with me even though she tells me she loves me. Anyways I just want to tell you that its ok and hopefully both of us will be ok in the future. I wish you luck and I feel your pain. Oh, and the Dr. Steve answer is not fair... I'm not a teenager and I'm going through this so to say that "its a meaningless relationship" is cruel.

Sure internet relationships have earned a BAD name because of all the losers out here (all that they do is lie about themselves). But I do believe that the internet is just another place where you meet people, like you can meet someone over the weekend at a club or a pub. You do need to be careful, and take steps to screen people, to check whether they are lieing or not. The easiest way is to identify where the person lives, and if its in the same city (I assume this is your case, otherwise meeting up is not possible) you can ask around about landmarks like the restaurant or pub that you visit. It may help to BOND your relationship or it may show that the person on the other side is a fraud and taking you for a ride.\n\nAbout your case, I'm not very sure about what has gone wrong. Its possible that he's had a bad experience before or that he's just pulling your legs and possibly stays in Cyberia ! :P lol\nI would advise you to stop pressing on him and let him relax; if he's interested in you he'll come back when he's ready to meet you. Sorry that I can't be of anymore help !

Can't you tell him the truth?  Think about what you like when you are on the computer (games? chat? surfing the web?) and try to tell him why you like that.\nIt sounds like he's feeling left out.   Is there something you could do together on the computer?  Is the computer more important than your relationship with your boyfriend?\nOnly you can figure those things out.

I personally believe that the internet is an alternative avenue of finding love.  Just like going to the bar, attending parties, going to malls, joining clubs...this is the new age with an amazing technology so cyberworld is an alternative for everything. I have found 2 amazing guys on the net....I feel in love with them on a different level at one point in time. They did reciprocate too...we had a really good relationship that didn't stay online.  We just started virtually but ended up in real life.  With one guy, it lasted for 3 years....that means it wasn't really just a game.  It's really possible to find love online, take it from me.

I am in one too and its sooo hard.  the best way to make it work is COMMUNICATION and honesty.  I know i have been insecure and sometimes feel heartbroken that I cant be part of his weekend plans, but as long as you are honest w/ each other and see each other during your spare times, then it'll work out.  After all, you'll only pay to get to the other and room and board will be free.  Oh, by the way, from my experience don't do MySpace to KIT.  This has given me lots of headaches. Trust me.  Send lots of loving emails, pictures and at the same time, trust him and let him have his plans w/ friends (both sexes) even though u may feel depressed that you cant be w/ him/her.  my email is: claria_63@yahoo.com if you need to talk.  Good luck!
