Cyber Love-Good Idea or Bad Idea?

So, now that my school semester is coming to an end and I broke up with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, is cyber dating worth a try. It seems like a lot of work-Is it worth it?

Does anyone here have a relationship that began over the internet and actually worked?

Ive never done the cyber date thing either.But my advice to you is to be careful.Dont just jump right out and meet someone.Get to know them first.Start by chatting or emails then when comfortable by phone and so on.Good luck...

Actually, yes. I met a great girl online and moved to Michigan to be with her. The romance eventually ended, but that had NOTHING to do with the way we met (on-line).

However, here's some of my tips about avoiding potential hazards of online hooking-up...

1. You must remember this Gospel truth--LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS ONLY WORK IF ONE PARTY IS WILLING TO EVENTUALLY RELOCATE!!! I cannot stress this enough. Your heart may be soaring, but, please--keep your feet on the ground.

2. No matter how GREAT the person is on the phone, letter, or e-mail...in person, it's a whole other story. Translation: You will discover things about this person that will DRIVE YOU NUTS! So brace yourself.

3. You MUST be yourself. Look, let's face it--On the Internet, you can present yourself as whoever you want. If you say you like George Strait, when you really don't, you're setting yourself up for a mega fall.

4. Don't kid yourself about your intentions. Are you looking for LOVE or for a fling? On the same note, cyber-sex partners typically make lousy real-life partners. Most of the guys who prowl those adult rooms in Yahoo! are like those creeps who frequent the peep show booths.

5. Remember--love and relationships are two SEPERATE entities. That Hallmark hearts-n-flowers love that you've been dreaming about is mostly myth. I'm not saying that it doesn't exist--I've certainly been there--but a RELATIONSHIP is not about that. In other words, remember: Don't have astronomical expectations of your partner or your relationship. You'll just end up hurting each other, and having to deal with child custody issues.
