I met my girlfriend on World of Warcraft, and we talked online for about 4-5 months before meeting. We're still together now and see each other very often, even though we live in adjacent states (we plan to move in together very soon). Online relationships can work but they can't stay permanently online.

hahaha so lucky... i have yet to see a girl on WoW, maybe its cus i dont play enough >,< but yeah, i totally agree that the trelationship cant stay online forever, and its great that you guys are going to move in together. Hope it works out for you!

Yea i believe they can.

But you have to be extremely careful!

Im actually going through a custody battle at the moment, because my ex decided that some stranger who he met online 9 days before, meant more than the kids, To cut it short... The police told him she is not mentally stable and could not be involved with her around children, so he had a choice and he choose.

So yea, They can work but just be careful, Anyone can say their someone their not

Yeah, I agree with most of what's been said in this thread. You have to be careful I suppose, but I've made some great friends online. I do think there comes a point where, if you don't meet in real life, things can get a bit awkward though.

To answer you question of good or bad, I'd say bad. I feel as if a relationship should have the emotional as well as the physical aspect or else it has a greater chance to lead to disaster.

I'm sure they can work, but in my experience they haven't.

I'm a shy person, and it's too easy for me to chat online. I've found a disconnect between chemistry through written word, and chemistry in person. It can be awkward.
