Ehh here's a scenario: Two people "date" online. Things go great. They decide to commit, despite the fact that they're on separate coasts. Bliss or stupidity?

Committing to someone online is a hollow promise. For example, hell, I'll commit to every woman here in this forum right now. Yep, we're all in a great relationship online, me and all you ladies.

But that's as far as it goes. Email me, IM me... you still don't know who is on my mind when I write nthat reply. For all you know I just committed to you online but am aldo seeing someone here in my hometown.

Even in the movies, where there are long distance relationships (like You've Got Mail, The Lake House, Sex Drive) there's still a follow through at the end where the people meet up in real life. Until that real life meeting occurs, it's not a committed relationship... until then, we're all just intimate pen pals.
