Especially if they haven't met. And then when they have met, I think they're stupid cuz they coulda got raped and kid napped.

I couldn't take my own relationship seriously if we had met online.

I met my boyfriend online, at a dating site no less, and we've been dating for 8 months and live together. We've lasted longer and have a better relationship than most people I know who met their mate through more conventional means....Now if you are "dating" but havent yet met the person I wouldnt consider that valid. Online and face to face conversing are two very different types of communication.

My friend is dating a guy she met online. It's been almost a year now. He takes a seventeen hour train ride to visit her every month. It's disgusting how cute they are.

Yeah, and in all honesty it's probably more real love than something like "love at first site", because it's entirely based on personality.

But what happens if you're not truthful online about your personality?

I'm not talking about when your profile says "I like long walks on the beach" but more like when you're talking to each other on a voice or text program.

Even then, you could be lying.

I'm not saying like you would say to her "I like long walks on the beach". I just mean having a conversation, in which case your personality would be present.

It's still pretty easy faking your personality. I talked to a girl for 5 hours straight on chat roulette, making her think I cared about her and was eventually able to get her naked. (I'm not a very good person)

Well if that's what you mean by faking your personality, then you can do it in real life too.

I saw this girl once at a game and I thought she was pretty, surprisingly enough she randomly started following me on twitter, added me on Facebook and followed me on Tumblr. We didn't really start chatting until one day she retweeted me. We talked more, we oovoo'd and we also had many mutual friends. Her best friend is a close friend of mine and after about a month of talking we decided to meet in person. We started liking each other at that point. We go to neighboring Highschools and share lots of friends. I don't think that counts as a relationship through online does it?

Omg, I hate it when people automatically assume when you're dating someone online that the relationship will fail, or they're actually a kid/pedophile in disguise. Online dating can work, and sometimes work better than people you initially meet in person. Sometimes they fail, of course, but not all the time. I have a boyfriend that lives in Nevada, but I live in Texas. We've video chatted, voice chatted, talked on the phone, played games together, etc. So we know what the other looks like, sounds like, acts like, etc. We've been dating for over a year now, and we're both saving up money to go visit each other and actually meet in person. If I like him in person as much as I do online, I do plan on moving in with him later on. :3 Still, my relationship with him is better than the relationships I've had in person, a lot better. (I do have friends that seriously doubt it's going to work out between us, but I'd like to think more positively).
