Topic: Online Relationships - page 3. (Read 701 times)

Friendship is a relationship, right? If it is then I've had several successful relationships by meeting people who I knew online. One is for a book group - this was from Myspace times, a long time ago. Some I met as a gaming group. Another is for a business startups group.

had few before, none of them last over 2 months, and the last relationship last near to 4 years, end up still screwed up, aging is killer, now im lazy to start over again

i had experience in meet a online friend and his become my boyfriend but at the end he pass away in accident  if not i think we still together now... i think maybe your fade not reach yet

Of course, as in any relationship, there are problems, you can't expect to find someone perfect that never makes mistakes. We ourselves are not perfect either!!
Yes I am happy, just remember that I had to kiss tons of frogs who didn't turn into my prince LOL. 
As for friendships I'd love to have more friends from the forum!

Well it requires patience and constancy! 

This can be interesting. Try to meet someone on the forum. Find a person with whom you have common interests and begin to communicate regularly.

I had an online relationship experience. To be honest, for me it was boring. I lacked real intimacy.

I think you can get acquainted on the Internet, but then you need to meet in life.

After I got divorced I tried online dating, it was a teaching experience. Most men I talk to online were just looking to talk about sex. It was really weird, they would star like a normal conversation but no matter what they always ended up talking about sex. I began several "friendships" and even went on a couple of dates with some of them, they would get handsy most of the time!!
One of them after being dating for a few months asked me to lend him money and as stupid as I was I did, I never saw him or my money again.
As my real purpose what to have a serious long lasting relation mos would just stooped talking to me, on the other hand I still have a couple of friends from those times.
One of those endless night of loneliness I was roaming around in a chatroom and started talking to a guy at 2 am, at this point my conversations started with, "Are you here just looking to talk about sex?" LOL Most men said yes so I would not talk to them, but he said "Not necessarily, what would you like to talk about" and so we talked about nothing and everything all night until 5 am.

He lived not too far from me, so eventually we met, when I met him he wasn't what o expected. He was kinda shy and evasive, we were in a public place and he would be nonchalant and weird. I thought, here goes another one not worth my time. So I ended the meeting as soon as possible, as were saying goodbye I offered him a ride to the closest subways satiation and he agreed and thank me. As we got into  my car and were all alone in the dark parking lot, he turned into a different person. Confident, straight forward, demanding, so sexy LOL. He said he wanted to kiss me, and he did, we spent the rest of the afternoon together in my car talking and laughing and having a great time.

That happened 8 years ago, now we are happily married, we have a 2-year-old girl an have our business together.

I tell you all this because, I know that dating online is difficult, there are so many out there just trying to take advantage of you, or your situation, they would pry o your weaknesses and might hurt you. You must have clear in mind what you really want and what kind of person you are looking for and stick to it, don't accept anything less.  If you are patient and lucky as was I , you might find that person that fit into your madness to the tee. Don't give up just stay true to yourself!

Why do you think it does not develop an attachment? Do you live far away from each other and only speak online?

I believe online relationships are like a black swan event, you do not expect it to happen but it may happen. Also, there is no sense of emotion or sense of oneness in an online relationship.

I had a relationship via a dating app, which lasted only for a few months. You do not develop the attachment with the person as what my experience says.

In this digital world where we speak to one another in different forums / social media. Play countless hours online. Some have also met / dated / had a relation ship / even married people they have met online. For those who did any of that? How is it like? I've already tried online dating but I never had a relationship with anyone from it but maybe because I did not try hard enough. Is it something that you would recommend?
