No one who seeks for a relationship, not just a flirt, likes Internet relationships. But as I pointed out, it's a commonplace event among us (look around yourself). We have a very low chance than we find the person who's like us in RL. Yes, we're all freaks here. And we usually seek for freaks as well.

Also, bear in mind that although we give enormous credence to what we feel...sex and the love condition may come down to little more than a dream....a dream designed by nature to get us together for the purpose of having babies.
But it's fun...so go for it!

Online relationships be it plutonic or affectionate can be really great, if you bare in mind that it is just that. Most people will never find there one true love in RL, let alone over the internet. However.........I did in fact meet my true love via the internet.
We both played gin in yahoo, our paths didn't even cross gamewise for several months, then one day by chance, we played a game of gin. During the course of the game, we exchanged a little information about ourselves and found that we lived only 50 miles apart.  Two months of playing gin, chatting socialably, Doc teaching me how to play Spades, Pinochle, trying to teach me hearts, LOL, we had a blast. Then one day we decided to actually talk on the phone....we talked for hours. He about his life & daughter, me about my life & 2 sons. We joked about meeting for ice-cream, then one day, we decided to actualy meet. That is a day I will remember the rest of my life.
2 months later, I moved in with him and we have been together for the last 2 1/2 years. It's not a great fairy tale life that we live, it has it's ups as well as it's downs just like any other relationship does. But, I wouldn't change it for anything else in the world.
Doc has a saying he always abides by & this is what drew me to him. "Always tell the truth, that way you will never have to remember anything".

Why don't you try joining a local website for Internet friendship? A girl can always pop up and what happens next depends on you. :-)
Thanks, Milena, but I am not trying out for anything again. There's nothing left in me to give anymore.
Btw, still waiting for that cmail or email...

All those who thought she was hiding something...
You've just won yourself a prize! Turns out she finally broke down last weekend and spilled the beans. Those who aren't into relationship gossip can find something better to do with their time .
She's almost twice my age and unhappily married to a guy who recently discovered he enjoys "playing on the same team", if you catch my drift. It sucks to know that someone took advantage of my trustworthiness, but life goes on as it always does. Now to find someone else to put my trust into without the fear that it may be in vain... )
Just thought I'd bring some closure to this topic.

And let that be proof enough for all u people who still see the net as a worth while place to seek a relationship... I mean sure, you might befriend some1 and things escalate, etc, but for every 1 net relationship that works, there's about 37826523876523 more that end badly... I know this from experience, when I was 18 I feel for this whole net thing, sure the person was who she said she was (which was a DEFF plus) but she forgot to tell me that she couldn't keep her legs closed and that this was all some sort of game.... all this after spending about a grand to fly to TX.... young naivety works wonders don't it folks?

I used to think online relationships were just crap, but I had to reconsider my opinion. I broke up with my ex-girlfriend quite a while ago now, but I still don't feel like having a serious relationship again right now. So I wasn't looking for anyone, especially not on the net.
But then it happened, or is still happening. I met this girl online, we exchanged some ideas about games and for some reason we started emailing to each other. We email each other almost daily now, and the things we write are often really personal. I can't tell I'm in love with her, I don't even know her age, though I believe she's several years younger. But I like her very much and I'm actually looking forward to opening my mailbox every day. Since a couple of days it's the first thing I do when I'm online. We'll probably never meet since she lives in the us, and I live in europe, but it's fun and it makes us both feel good. I don't really care what she looks like, my ex girlfriend was a part-time model, but as I figured out physical beauty is far from everything. She's one of the kindest and most warm-hearted persons I know, and that's all that matters.
