I've done the internet relationship thing..they worked out well til I tried to make then REAL relationships..I talked with a guy for over a year then we talked about meeting..I told him that he needs to know first that I am in a wheelchair then decide if he still wants to meet me..I never heard from him again.

I was friends with someone online for a year and a half. In that time, we developed feelings for each other because we were talking online and on the phone for 4-10 hours each day. We wrote letters as well. In that year and a half, I flew to visit him twice (he paid half, I paid half). He was a perfect gentleman and we enjoyed each other's company.

After visiting the second time, we talked about me moving out there so we could be together. When I did get there, it lasted 6 months. The romance was gone once I got there. We had already talked about pretty much everything possible to talk about before I ever got there, so there was almost nothing left to say. Being long distance helps to fantasize about how it could be if someone were to be in a relationship. Your expectations are grand and when reality comes to fruition, it can be a big letdown. The thrill is gone, because it was all wrapped up in thinking about it.

Chat "relationships" are dangerous ground, because it could be absolutely wonderful but completely flop in real time. I'd say don't base much at all on "online feelings."

like Someone else Mentioned On Here. Its Not As Good As It Used To Be. Awful Lot Of People Get Enjoyment From Pretending To Be Someone else! Game! Teenagers Smarter And Can Be A very Good 35 Year old Nowadays! Multiple Picts. Maturity. Its become Too Hard Nowadays To really Tell! Unless Meet! But Have Be Cautious. Like The gentleman Mentioned. Not Like It Used To be!

I know this wasn't to me....sorry...

The only advice I offer is do not hold prior bad experiences against yourself or any other. That's a setup for failure. If you're not ready to take the risk, you're not ready to get in a relationship.

it's hard to get to now someone that you can't see face to

face. it think that facual expressions are i big deal when you

are talking to someone that you are interested in. on the

other hand i believe that to find love you have to take

chances.

explain a relationship thru chat,what does this consist of?

Do you mean developing a relationship through chat?

fake it till you make it!
pretend to trust....until you really can do it on your own

haha no in all sincerity....while the above will work, its probably better to just be cautious. just remember, you have to give some to get some.

Taken and scared
