King of Nothing Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 yeah, N, stick with your gut. I tried dating one of my friends, but I always felt like she was a friend instead of a girlfriend. We broke up and were never really the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Good to find someone who agrees with me on this one. The unfortunate thing is that there's really no one else that I know like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm interested in this one too. There's no text of any religion that says anything about long distance relationships. Of course, that's assuming by immoral he means against the morals of the majority o.o Iirc, most of the things done face to face are more immoral than online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Duelist Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Well.. to add in my two cents... While I didn't meet here on this site, I did meet my current fiance through another Yugioh RP forum that used custom cards, in fact it was their site that first got me to come here. We first start chatting about December 2008, and February 2009 our IC flirts turned OOC and we developed feelings for each other. We started Skyping, and then I first met her May of 2009 as a con. After that, a few trips during 2009 and 2010 until I went to a college nearer to her since I live on the other side of the country. I proposed to her last winter, we will be getting married after college. Do I believe that internet relationships are the new medium? Not necessarily, because it dangerous, and can very easily lead to heartbreak. I feared that first time that I would be stranded at the airport waiting for someone who did not show, while she got her biggest friend just in case I wasn't who I said I was. However, in some cases it can work. Love isn't always local, is however it comes to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 After taking courses in basic psychology and sociology, I just cannot wrap my head around relationships that lack some sort of in-person communication. It seems unnatural, to be completely honest. I can understand Skyping with someone for three or four months and then maybe taking a vacation down to whatever state they live in to have a formal meeting, but it just shocks me that people plan to get engaged and subsequently married when all they have is a picture and a voice. I Skype with a ton of people, and it really does help me to get to know them better, but I would never base an entire relationship off of a few Skype calls or video chats or pictures. I can also be fairly sure that the large percentage of people who "internet date" are either in high school or have already graduated college, because the majority of couples that eventually get married meet in college, where there are "plenty of fish" and you have interactions weekly or even daily. And I doubt many people here have graduated college, so if you are in an internet relationship and not in college, chances are you just want to rush a relationship to "act cool" and claim that you have a girlfriend even though I'd much rather be single than love someone that I barely know. On that note, idgaf if other people decide to internet date, but that notion will never click as normal in my head. It's not like I discriminate against couples who meet online, so whatthefuckever.

Darth Revan of the Sith Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Meh some internet relationships work and some dont but I dont think they are neccessarily bad. Again it all depends on the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 It's not like they're destined to fail; most internet relationships, especially ones made on mmorpgs just happen to be based off of lies and desperation. IDK, I know an online marriage that went really, really well. If I met and really clicked with someone I could pursue it, but I think it only works if you meet up IRL and start dating at some point, and don't just go into the marriage, though I doubt many do.

People meet on WoW, then use the conventions as a way to meet up and actually be able to see each other. Then, it works out just like normal online dating, except they spend most of their time killing orcs and whatever. I don't see how this is far-fetched to you really.

King of Nothing Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm still throwing this out there. The way we date now, and what we see marriage as, isn't what it originally was. You didn't marry people that you loved, you married people that your parents wanted you too. Everything's beginning to change, and online dating won't be the most bizarre form of dating we see in our lives, I guarantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 It's socially unaccepted, therefore it's totally cool to support it on the internet. [/thread?] Anyway, I don't believe you can get to know a person all that much over the internet, but I try not to judge. I'm not too concerned about predators, because those are not nearly as common as most people think. I just... don't like the idea of dating someone I met online. Especially YCM. >__> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vough Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 The problem with the internet is that you'll say stuff you normally wouldn't because of the no body language/no voice thing. I don't accept internet dating, nor ever will, because talking to someone in a chat room is 1000000x different than going on a date with someone and talking. It will cause a lot of bad marriages, because on the internet, you can always hide who you are, but in real life, you can't. (For the same extent, atleast.)
