Help/Support ► Is it Real?

[.:Saved:.]

Is an online/long distance relationship still considered a relationship? And if you break up does it really mean anything?

Any help would be nice.​

Hell no. A true relationship is only real if you're actually physically with the person.

i say yeah, but that's just me XD

If you enter the 'relationship' believing it to be proper, then it is. The way you act is dependent on how you perceive it.

Most online relationships certainly aren't conventional, but that doesn't mean that some people can have very deep connections. Also, it depends whether missing out on the physical side is important to you or not. For most people, it would be.

Likewise for breaking up. Breaking up is only significant if the relationship meant anything in the first place.

I'd say yes, but only if people end up meeting and spending time together in real life.

If it's a romantic connection, I think that the relationship could start online, but would have to exist physically, too. Like, you need to meet.

i'd say yes. i mean if this person is special to you and you want to have something, then yeah it's real. soon enough you'd have to meet, like Snowy said. but yeah i say it is ^^

 

[Masamune]

you guys need to meet and get to know each other before you decide on breaking up.

Yeah..It means alot to both of us, but I was unsure. It was a whole lot easier with chat, but we cant use it on here anymore. When I had a cell phone, we left messages, but thats gone now too.

Well you can have real friends online, so why not real boyfriends/girlfriends? It's a similar concept really, but as I mentioned before, the difference is in the physicality. Someone told me that about a quarter of marriages in recent years in the USA are from people who've met on the internet.

Good luck with yours Saved.

Well, Friendship can be online, but if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, I think physical meeting is essential.

i know exactly where you're coming from I'm in the same type of relationship, only I'm in a situation when i can see her from time to time (like in a couple weeks as a matter of fact)

but ya know if it's a strong feeling you get from the other person, even if you don't see each other physically it's still real and it's still something you should fight for ( it's been a 1.5 years now that me and the other have been together and it's been difficult, but we want to be together so we fight)

meh even if yall can't talk all the time on here, there's always Yahoo, AIM, or MSN messenger :]

or if all else fails myspace, and it doesn't hurt to have a webcam and/or take lots of vids & photos of you just being..well you xDD (you have no idea how many times i've made stupid videos of me & my friends just so i could get a little laugh out of her xDD) but until you do actually see each other that kinda stuff helps...

just cause it's online doesn't make it any less of a relationship, because in the end you still have that connection/feeling with one another, but the meeting each other face to face is essential, otherwise it's just kinda empty without the intent

 

[Masamune]

yeah. what oogie said is correct. you guys should find ways to keep your relationship strong until you finally have a chance to meet.

 

[Vayne Mechanics]

Emotionally, it can be considered a real relationship, but I agree with Blahmaster quite a bit. A relationship isn't much if the physical aspect isn't there. What are you gonna do if you REALLY like each other but have no way of getting to them? Masturbate in front of a webcam and let them watch? I find that sad.

The physical part of a relationship is just as important as the emotional part. An E-relationship is only giving you half of what you should have.

 

[╬ProperArtist╬]

which is why the actual meeting between the two peoples is one of the most important parts of an online relationship

 

[Vayne Mechanics]

Yes, but what are the actual chances of them meeting, continuing a long lasting physical relationship and then get married (if it's that strong) before their thirties?

Really, the chances aren't very high. You can meet, but if you meet for a mere day or two, I don't consider that a part of the physical aspect whatsoever.

Here is MY input, Des.

I believe that any love worth having, is better than no love at all.

If you dont like my input, I am sorry. It is the first thing to pop into my head.
