It all depends on how you define 'relationship'. But just being in contact via social media, doesn't turn two people into a couple :wink:

umer the honest and serious answer is yes it can happen if both are committed to it and are both actively trying to remove the long distance from between them

relationships based on fantasy are not real relationships

Unless you meet the person and spend actual physical time with them , it isnt a relationship.


Ive known people who has met people online, they skype or go on whatapp with them and they communicate that way for months and months and then they meet and suddenly the "chemistry" isnt there.

I think the videos you watch on Youtube and Facebook of couples meeting for the first time and it working out is the exception to the rule.

Its not realistic in my opinion.

I won't do long distance. IMO online isn't a relationship, personally speaking

re·la·tion·ship
rəˈlāSH(ə)nˌSHip
noun
1. the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.
2. the state of being connected by blood or marriage.
3. the way in which two or more people or organizations regard and behave toward each other.


As pertaining to the interaction between two or more people there are many different types of relationships of which romantic and initmate are just two examples.

You can have a relationship with basically, anything.

You had/have a relationship with each of your parents, siblings, offspring, and relatives.
You have working relationships in your job.
You can have relationships with stuff like foods, drinks and toys.

In the courtship sense, an online relationship is different than an in person relationship. Both are relationships but both have different conditions. Sometimes those conditions may overlap.
Likewise, a long-distance relationship is different than a close-proximity relationship.

Beware the fact that long-distance relationships are full of romanticized expectations and the reality of a close-proximity may be something unexpected.

There's a big difference between you imagining what it would be like to be with that person and what it is actually like. Sometimes its worse and sometimes its better. It all depends on how much validity you give your imagination.

Long-distance relationships tend to work better if you have already met the person and established a bond. Think husband deployed over-seas with the military having an online long-distance relationship with his family back home.

Is it ok? Generally yes when two people are happy with it . Is it acceptable? Depends on who is looking IMO. I have seen you tube videos about long distance meeting for the first time too . They are quite inspiring but we have to consider that sometimes things are just not quite what it seems in the world wide web. The distance makes us believe and hope for more good stuff and when reality comes in we are faced with hurdles and truths that tests how we really feel. On line is just on line till you make it outside on line . JMO

Sometimes you have to take a risk, but sometimes it's worth taking a risk. The important thing is, not to have high expectations, since not every meeting has the desired outcone. People can still be friends after the first meeting.

Had several, they weren't long lasting but interesting. Met most of them but something missing.

I think it may work for some people. However, I meet in person after talking on phone for a while. I had dated a man from Chicago which is 210 miles north of me. Then I thought I don't know what he's doing there. :smile:

Seeing each other after a year or longer? Nope. Maybe some are happy that way, but I doubt anyone who could get themselves a real partner would settle for that.
How can you even speak of a relationship when you cannot actually smell or touch the other, do things together and not build up the intimacy?
Sure you can Skype or whatever, but going out on a real date with someone you have budding feelings for, looking at each other as you walk down the street, casting a quick glance and so on... none of these moments -which are so important- can be had when you go on Skype or phone or text.
The non-prearranged things of real life contact is what you need.
But maybe for some it is a nice to be able to say to people that they are involved when all they have is someone far away they Skype/phone/text with. To me it is more an illusion.
