    Yes. I met my boyfriend on the net six years ago.

    Internet can always translate to 'reality'

    I met him when I was 13 and he was 17. I'm 19 and he's 23 now. He lived a province(state) away, and he moved closer to me about two years ago.

    I've never stopped liking him, since the first day he started talking to me. We've never stopped talking. As much, as he wasn't real..he was real.. he was someone I could talk to and someone I could trust, and somebody who viewed life the way I did.

    We are living proof that internet relationships have real meaning.

    I have met way cool folks online. Mostly with our Hiking groups. Just off the top I have had over 30 come up to visit single and in groups and we are inseparable. My first friend was 5 yrs ago and we fly back and forth 2 times each a year to hike,climb,kayak and what not. The Internet is an awsome way to meet folks you just have to use your head and be safe. Oh and if you are talking about a love thing, why yes why not, same rules apply. Now we can fall in love with others from places we only imagined or read about. The mix really rocks! Good luck and be safe, but don't fear the adventure friend.

    I agree with garwy. Good answer.

    I am a nudist, as in a member of a few nudist resorts, and minus the clothes, people don't prejudge you as easily. So the friendships tend to be truer as well.

    The same applies to internet relationships, as long as you find people who are honest.

    I have a couple excellent friends in real life that I initially met online.

    Yes I believe some do, but only when the two people really like each other and want to make it work. I met my boyfriend online about four years ago and after a year of talking online and on the phone and on cam he moved out to be with me and been here ever since.

    when you meet someone on a message-board, through chat, or by email your relationship starts with a meeting of minds.

    you are not distracted by whether the person is hot or a minger, by what their ethnicity is, how they are dressed, or how old they are.

    often you will not even know their sex until later on.

    internet relationships have the potential to be the most honest and real relationships of all, since they are meetings between who two people really are - not just between who those two people happen to look like.

    for a relationship to fulfil such potential you would probably need eventually to meet, at least a few times.

    at least one person i met first on the internet later turned out to be one of the most important people i have ever known.

    Friendships do

    Real relationships don't

    (by real, I mean love,dating)

    People are always different in real life to the internet. We all say things on this that we wouldn't say in real life.....

    :)

    Hm, no, not really. As you wouldn't know who is actually behind the other line, you can't make sure that you have 'fellings' for that person. What if I say I am a girl? A pretty, pretty girl. Or a huge, robust guy (Arnie-type)? Well, unless you are using video conferencing, you wouldn't really know. I believe that traditional face-to-face contact is the best bet ever. :)
