i guess i don't much care how anyone else decides to pursue their relationships, whether they are real-life, long distance, or totally online (with no chance or desire to ever meet).

if it works for them, leaves them fulfilled and satisifed, and doesn't impose on me at all, kudos to them (and irrelevance to me).

i think that if you cant find compatibility nowhere else an online site is definitely a good place to find a nice date or a good friend or two. I would say be cautious with an uneager approach to finding a relationship here and just take your time with it. People who fall in the quickest are the ones inexperienced, vulnerable and desperate to get some !@#$y and #$%^k. here is a place to think about what you would say if you had an in person encounter with a date while having plenty of time to type it.

I am truly puzzled. How can some commit to one on a website with not even meeting them, and better yet not meeting them for a few months down the road?

You may miss an opportunity walk right in front of you, and better yet the online person may either ditch or not be who you thought they were...

I just dont get it...maybe its me


Some people like to live in fantasy land. Too bad they end up wasting people's time with that commitment before meeting crap.

same way people share beds with someone whose last name they dont even know....they may not have the same priorities in their search that others do....

i think its very easy for ppl to get so wrapped up in the physical aspect of a relationship right away, before truely knowing the person. i have been there before. its so much better to be able to learn about someone on the inside and then desire both body and mind.

if both people achieve something through that emotional, virtual-only, attachment, then explain how it is crap?

if no one is leading the other on, lying, etc., then what harm is it how they carry on their affair?

i believe that certain people pass through our lives at moments when we greatly need them. i don't necessarily believe that all relationships must be ones of tradition, and i don't necessarily believe in forevers anymore either.

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.

Yeah, there's a couple of guys I feel that way about, and long-distance is a *****! LOL! So, I go pout in a funk until I can deal with it again.
