Yes I think they do... If theres a connection between two people, why wont it work? if theres trust, respect and loyalty its the same as in person, but miles away (lol)

Meeting on the internet is good, as you dont have the signs of your own embarressment.. for example when I talk to a dude I get all figetting, specially if they are HOT! so it blocks that out, you get to know the person in a different way.. which is good.. so yes I think it could work, with the right mixure (ie.trust, respect blah blah ) :D

I have a good friend who met her husband on the internet through a dating site.  Only problem is he's still on that dating site meeting other women.  I think any relationship can work but there are so many variables involved that it's impossible to say why they sometimes don't.

I have seen a few work and even lead to a happy life but by the same token a lot did not work with people I know.

Perhaps it is more a test of the persons involved than the concept of internet relationships then but I would not say it cannot work :)

50/50.... I guess it could work, but my one attempt crashed and burned..... I guess if I really fell for someone I might try it again.... Dunno though...

Amen, Halo, I forgot about the whole married people thingie. I find it a bit sleazy too, but then again, everyone has to lie in the bed they make (just don't invite ME, if you're married or involved )

well I'll come by and answer from my perspective because that's the situation I'm in I have a few views on this though because I've seen the good side and the bad side of things ...First of all it's NOT for everybody distance is something not everyone can deal with ... it's hard sometimes but I manage haha ... I've seen people get involved in relationships when they are already in one ...I've actually had MARRIED friends meet someone online run off on their husband or wife and family ...and let me tell you the end results aren't pretty...(and personally I've found this kind of a sleazy thing to do) so if someone is already in a relationship and they do this they're in for a whole world of hurt. I have friends it's worked great for I have friends that it has crashed and burned on and torn them apart so I don't really have an answer for you it depends on the people involved but in my honest opinion you always take a chance distance involved or not you can get hurt by anyone any time any place but it's always worth a shot regardless

I could not have said it better than Jules. The chemisty has to be there. That is important.

I have never had a online relationship so I don't know...personally.

I met my "one true love" online, on a personals site, way back in the dark ages when Yahoo Personals was free, and we were blissfully happy for over a year and a half.

That being said, we were both in "Denver" albeit an hour by highway apart.

I did have another online one that was VERY passionate; he was in Phoenix and I was SO gone daddy gone over him it bordered on obsession.

Problem was, when he came to visit, as soon as he stepped off the airport bus, I knew there was nothing there. No chemistry, if you will.

I think that's what it comes down to, that chemistry. The pheremones are SO important. You can click three ways to Sunday online, but unless and until you actually meet the person, I'd not put all hope in an online relationship.

Of course, with web cams and being able to talk on the computer, it does take a little of the guess work out of it.

My thoughts these days on online relationships is: have FUN! Don't get too serious, but say what you feel and if someone if rocking your internal world, then MORE power to ya!

Did that make any sense?
