Do relationships over the web really helpful in finding love?
I mean yea it may work for some people but why does it not work for most people in the world? I've been through 15 relationships over the the internet but all of them only lasted 5 months, what's up with that?


For some people it works...all it really takes is a lot of communication and it can work. Figure you don't see each other everyday least you can do talk often, then you have to be willing to eventually move closer to each other (one, the other, or both).

Oh definitely, it really depends on communication. When you have someone who never returns your emails, it's pretty hard to build a relationship- friendship or otherwise. I still say it depends on who you are too, like with me, even if I was interested in dating, there's no one on this site I'd be interested in.

hey bro, it is definitely tougher and it isn't for everyone...

HOWEVER, just like dating in real life, you cannot stop believing in it because of past experiences....15 times it hasn't worked, well, how many bad dates IRL have you been on...yet you continue to do it?

it is a different way to meet someone and it will be a different process

It is definitely a different process. Trust is a HUGE issue. Communication and Really hearing what the other one says is another. I know a lot of people who are done with LDR's for various reasons. They are difficult. But they can work if BOTH are really in it.

In my experience some folks give the "appearance" of the "good guy" routine, when it comes to real life (e.g. suggesting a meeting ) they run a mile ( for fear of their lies being found out) I am yet to find out why they do this.

In 5 usual closer living situation relationships people dont work out.

That downs the chances or a long distance relationship, bcause you start out lacking even, at very least.

It may work for some people. But I'm not interested in a long distance relationship. IMO one of 2 things would need to happen in order to a LDR to have a chance of working out.

1. Accept the fact you wouldn't be able to see the other person that often OR
2. One person relocates.
