    No you shouldn't, you're supposed to meet people by going out.

    A relationship is a relationship no matter the distance.
    That being said I wouldn't reccomend it.

    Any relationship that you want to last, should be taken seriously.

    Will others take it seriously? In this day and age, it's a lot more accepted, but you'll still get the odd person like Avarance who doesn't understand the concept of modern life.

    It takes a lot more than your average relationship, to make it work, but one could argue that it makes you value the time together even more so. One thing's for certain, it takes 10 times more trust than a regular relationship.

    I think "online" relationships are bad, as in, ones that stay online with no plans to meet or progress. Meeting online, and using it as a main source of communication in between meeting, that's fine.

    I'm talking generally, those kind of relationships barely ever work.

    It's your life, you decide.

    But for me, I think it's fine because my life is like a nomad so any kind of relationship is fine to me.

    Any relationship should be taken seriously whether it's online or in real life.

    If its call a relationship, then it should be taken seriously. Online relationship require more trust which help build on the couple, I know people that got married and live happy, they met online.
    Edit: Also online, it take a lot to be shy online so its easier to express your feeling so people can see how great you really are instead of having first be discourage by your looks. ((Not saying you look bad))

    Relationships online never work, unless your a guy with absolutely no life, never had a girlfriend, barely have friends, and your desperate.

    But other than that, i think if a person lives in another state, or even another country, i would never count on it. Though if its a person in your state, in your area but a different school, then that would most likely work. It just contains alot of trust.

    As in online, the most that people should keep it to, is friends. Unless of course you know the person online in real life.

    Oh and to answer your question, obviously any relationship should be taken seriously, though if you know the other person on the other side isnt taking it seriously, then its not a relationship.

    Man, haven't seen you in a LONG time!

    Here, in 2009, things rule. We've even got these things called iPods! So when you're done vacationing in 1995, where the internet is still paedophile central, come back.

    Long distance relationships never work, because I personally would want a boyfriend, not a penpal.

    It depends on how committed you are.
    Its pointless to have a relationship strictly online.
    You should only have one if you're going to eventually meet your significant other.

    tl;dr NO

    Well I think even real life long distance relationships can't work, so I KNOW that online long distances has no chance in working. I mean how does it even start?

    the answer is no.
    ive met a girl on an mmo
    i lived in texas, she lived in florida
    ive met her irl once, ONLY because she was visiting relatives, and i was nearby.
    (no, her family did not go out their way to meet a friend their daughter met online, she told me to meet her at a mall that her family was going to visit)
    we have talked on the phone, and we know what each other looks like (from myspace and that one visit)

    later on we figured out that MMO relationships are ridiculous and decided to move on. we are still friends though.

    i highly advise you not to take on a long distance relationship unless u have enough time each day for a round trip tp visit her.

    I'm in a long distance relationship but it's a different situation.

    I was dating her for a year but then I moved.
    We still visit each other every weekend though since I finally got my car.

    But yea,
    I take the relationship serious.

    Honestly, it all depends on the circumstances. I knew two people who used to know eachother irl, but one moved away. They continued their relationship for as long as i know, and boy was there a lot of drama in that one...

    but i guess they both loved eachother, so it sorta worked. i say sorta because i don't want to get into details about two other peoples personal lives.

    anyways, i guess. If both people put enough effort into it, it works. Meeting over MMO's, and long distance relationships are two very different things.

    As long as they have plans to be together after a while, sure. But if it stays as an online thing, then they can just do whatever.

    Personally, i'd never have a long distance relationship but some people would.

    Yes.

    Stop making these stupid topics, all of you. Its ****ing ******ed to even think it shouldn't.

    It IS possible, and it DOES happen.
    God, this is 2009, get with the ****ing program, people.

    Well, if you can meet at least twice a month then I think it's worth it, but once a year.. That is NOT a relationship. I know it's hard to "fall inlove" with somebody on the internet and then you face the reality, you're never going to see her because you live here and she lives there etc.

    But, there are other ways to find love. Get out, talk to people! No need to be shy, you don't have anyhing to lose, trust me. =)
