I think it's okay as long as you're careful.

I have known 8 people who have been in internet relationships;
-one couple was around 70 and only did it to find someone to cling to (it ended via smothering)
-another because they were "christian professionals" who had Vlad-type stakes so far up their arses they couldn't walk (also failed after a couple months)
-SIX were the result of controlling predatory internet stalkers, one of which died, two others taken out of state and away from families(how will you run if you know no-one and someone ELSE controls the money?) and the other three were lucky enough to end their "relationships" without too much scarring.
I'm not saying ALL netships are like this - I'm sure there are those who beat the odds - but out of all I've personally known it's a zoro-for-eight type of thing. Perhaps if others would share their own stories more I might regain my faith in such.....

Wow, internet dating. It has some really good points and some really bad.
Several of the relationships I have had have been via online and honestly one of them turned out to be the best relationship I had ever been in.
Dating online means you learn the emotional and mental side of the other person. Every relationship has two parts- emotional and physical- but no relationship can sustain itself forever on just one of those aspects.
One of my online/long distance relationships consisted of a boy I met over a year ago on a website. We started as friends, we exchanged phonenumbers and in general hit it off. Soon that friendship expanded and we became emotionally involved with one another. Although we hesitated to call it a relationship it was, indeed one with constant phoncalls, texts, and IMs back and forth. Eventually, this August, he came to visit me, and that was perhaps one of thescaries things of my life. He turned out ot be exactly who he said he was and the feelings, even after physically seeing each other, remained the same.
Another one however I found out was based on lies- so many in fact that everything said by anyone after that made me double check their stories. I learned a lot though.
Granted you never know if the person is telling the truth because pictures can be doctored and honestly, even if you start a phonerelationship as well, many people do have androgenous voices. This aspect can make things difficult.
I wouldn't bash online relationships though. I'd be more than willing to start one with someone again but even that wouldn't come until much talking, exchanging of pictures, information, etc. It's really a test of trust in a person.

It has its good points and its bad points. For those that are against it I understand your reasoning and that's great.
Personally I married someone I met online. We were able to have a healthy relationship after meeting in a setting much like this. I flew to visit her a couple times and she did the same. We quickly discovered our personalities worked great togther I ended up moving 500 miles away from my family, in with her, and although we have our rough patches, five years later we still find we work great together as a team, as friends, and as a couple.
Just be wary of those you meet online. There are very few successful online relationships.

i perfer the human touch, sure it's a bit more harder but the challenge is what makes it fun, and if you get your boy/girl then it'll be awsome because you can hold eachother and be there physically
