So what's your view on internet relatioships?

I think they are perfectly ok. Because for one, you are falling in love with someones personality, not the way they look. Whereas in real life people fall in love with looks first, then personality.

So ok there is the chance of it being a pedophile or pervert. But more internet relationships turn out fine than there are sex-offending etc cases related to it.

It's just that the media (like it commonly does) blows these things out of proportion and makes the whole idea seem bad. The media will always emphasize the bad side.

So ignoring what the media has tried to infactuate your minds with, what do you.. truthfully.. think of internet relationships.

I agree with them 100%! People are probably sick of hearing this from me but "Love is wherever you find it". It can be offline, online, in death or in life. Anything is possible where love is involved.
I have had 2 successful internet relationships (i.e. they weren't sex offenders ) and I plan to have many more before I die. :P
I'm currently in one I want out of and it can be harder to break up when you don't know if the person is still gonna be around when you log on next.
There is currently one I want to be in as well but it wont happen in a millions years ;D

I think they're a tad bit on the weird side. I would never have a 'net girl'...it would definitely be weird. I prefer IRL girls anyway...you get to see them in their full figure. XD

If you can't get a girlfriend/boyfriend in real life, you have some problems to get straitened out. Enough said.

Sorry, I was just voicing my opinion. And plus, you can get a boyfriend in real life...

No Attrox I'm 16, I guess I'm at the age where I should be worrying now LOL.

Anyway we're going off topic here.
