It can be complicated but its definitely possible to find the right person :)

“There is more to love than this
Love is more than just a kiss
Will we take it to that step?
Will we do more than just connect?
And will you
Bring the thunder in my life
And the fire in my eyes
'Cause then there
Will be days of pleasure where
Everything far will be so near“

I don't think that it would be complicated at all. I think that as long as you put in the work and have a drive to do it, then it should really be a no-brainer.
With situations like that, there's always a 50/50, as well as real life. I mean, you can't knock it til you try it, right?!

we want to live in sheltered dreams, only to be told that we must leave our fantasy

damn, i feel pretty negative about this topic, most of you are so supportive about internet relationships, but i just dont know... they actually scare the hell outta me.

Im not a long/distance type of person... im very physical and kinesthetic... Though its a fact i seem to meet more interesting girls online than i do around here... and i dunno wut to do about it.

Ive been single for over 2 yrs now cuz none of the current girls around me turn to be convincing for me so as to start a relationship, even tho they really do lots of stuff to call my attention and ask me to at least give it a go.... i dunno, guess im weird.

Currently theres this girl ive known thru the internet for almost 3 yrs, she lives like 10 hrs away from me and she claims to be in love with me... we've met in person around 5 times, we've even traveled to the beach together once... when we're together it feels like a dream, then when we both go back home, it feels stupid & unreal (on my side). She says she'd love to move to my city and find a job here so she could get a chance with me, but that scares me even more!!!... i have my whole life here, my family, my friends, my career.... she has nothing!... so id be basically her only resource, i feel she'd want to become my shadow.... and im not the type of person who can give up her freedom & personal space... damn, im so complicated.

anyway, i just wanted to vent this on here.... thnx to anyone who gets to read this... hahaha

*peace

to be honest ive met some of the best ppl online....
for me its much easier...to talk...to share...and slowly to know a person....there are weirdos,but believe me u can actually feel its wrong even online ;) still think and be careful :)
good luck :)

My girlfriend and I met over the internet and then we progressed from friends to dating. Then we met in person, she visited me often and she was there for me when I needed her. She moved from NH to North Carolina to be closer to me...then when I got practically kicked out of my own house because I was gay, she was there with me. She moved to VA for me and now we live together with a lovely little puppy.

Internet dating isn't for everyone and safety should be first but it works. It can get complicated but what relationship doesn't?

Just be careful.

It can work, I've seen it work and have been in a few myself. I've actually met the majority of my exes (even the local ones)from online because where I live doesn't really have much going on for the GLBT community, especially not for lesbians.

i wouldn't even begin to know how to meet someone online; it makes me almost as nervous as meeting someone in real life. I've seen and talked to a few girls who I find very interesting, but I'd be scared to tell them if I was attracted to them. I'm a huge dork in that sense. :)

Tried it a couple of times..didn't work. Uhm, but would still give it another shot.

----------------------------
Would you stay
And feel the coldness that is mine?
Alas! You will soon go
And leave me here all alone
To sit forever, still I'm yours and yours alone.

I am in love with this girl who I met online when I was 16. I am 23 now and we still communicate. I think we intend to do something about it, I think we really should but it's a fact that it's scaring us both that we'll go meet and then we won't have a future together because we can't get married and that the immigration laws are so strict. We are of different citizenships. I'm dying to meet her and it's killing me. It's been seven years and we are still much in love with each other but hell, it's so painful to not have a way to be closer. I tried dating the girls near me but I just can't get myself to fall in love to anyone but her. Sad, sad, truth.

But whenever she sends roses at home and tells me a future together can be possible, I feel like everything will go right. I hope everything will be okay, it's just that there are many mediocre things in life and love shouldnt be one of them. This situation I'm in, definitely not mediocrity.

I've met someone online 2 years ago and we expressed on more than one occasion that we had feelings for each other. We both live in Washington state. She lives on one sideand I live on the other (5 hours apart) ,but neither of us have a car. We both are stuck living with our parents so no privacy if one of us decided to go and visit one another. Also she told me that if I lived in Seattle (where she lives) then she would date me, but she just doesn't do long distance relationships.

i just got out from a long distance relationship but we both live here in spain she lives in cordoba and i live in madrid but anyways i met her on-line at myspace to be exact. We met and we fell in-love. at first our relationship runs smoothly but then as the relationship goes deeper the more it's difficult for us to see each other because of our jobs sometimes we don't see each other for 2 months and sometimes we don't have any communication and of course it wouldn't work-out if u're partner don't give any effort at all.But if u really think it's worth it then go on and try just don't expect too much from a long distance relationship coz for me it didn't work out.

my gf lives in fucking canada.
Weve been off and on for almost 2years.

talk about heaven and hell.
Im so ready for a gf who i'll be able to see.. sooner than 10 mounths at least.
Im at the end of my fucking rope.
ahhhhh
ugh
God helps those who help themselves... In bed.

I guess it works for some people. I suppose its hard to tell unless you've been in that position. I've havent met anyone that i'd date or anything but i've made a few friend from this actually. So if you can make a friend then maybe yeah you can meet a girlfriend. I dont know, everything happens for a reason I guess!

Can't do it. It never works for me. People that I've fallen for, I've known them. Or have been around them to get a sense of who they are. Online--It's just hard. I've met a girl for coffee once that I met online and just felt really nervous and awkward when I talked with her in person. It was weird. After that, I never contacted her again. I don't mind finding new friends online. But as far as something more--no thanks.

I don't think it's a bad thing to meet someone on the internet, but I think if you start talking to someone via aim or messaging or whatever, first focus on building a really strong friendship before even thinking of a relationship. since there's no face-to-face, you should really know who this person is before you make any kind of commitment.

sometimes lost diamonds have been scattered across the globe...

and through the 'net, we can recover them.

i find it romantic that we are gazing at opposite sides of the moon...but there's no distance.

it can work, i had the same problem not really finding anyone of interest in my area, i'm also not quick to approach girls in person. but it's tough for us studs/butches to spot fems unless they're rockin the rainbow. anywho, i searched online outside of my area and found my current girlfriend. we live about 6 hours apart and we talked over a year before we ever met. we've been together 4 almost a year now and after we graduate we plan on movin in together. i'd be lyin if i said it's been easy because at times it's really hard. especially when you're in love. we miss each other 24/7. but what i like the best about my situation is the fact that over that year that we never saw each other we were able to make this great mental connection. when we were finally able to physically be together that was just the icing on the cake.

I think we make things complicated because we like to, nothing is impossible, it's how bad you want it. There are some girls willing to do the long dist. thing but it can be just torture. You can't see her, hold her, hang out and that's a main component in a relationship besides communication. I'm not a big fan of long dist. relationships and have never had one but I actually would go for it and try my best to let it flourish to hopefully something long lasting.

If a girl makes feel all good inside, hey you should go for it, u never know u might have found what you were looking for.

the distance can be quite torturous but once you meet up all of the pent up tension is gonna be released in the best way

my girl and i met here on OC and have been becoming more serious via the internet... with modern day technology it's almost like she's right here with me rather than 400 miles apart.
we talk on the phone every day for hours
we text throughout the day
we talk on line
and send pictures
and video chat

things are pretty good and hopefully things will keep going on this path. i'm pretty happy with where we are right now

I'm not against it. Just seems impossible. Especially today. It's kinda like self torture.

It is a true form of getting to really know a person. I mean, if what they're saying is true. If you are both honest, nothing can get in the way of the focus on each other. You can really capture someone's personality.

Depending on the distance though, I dunno. That's where the torture comes in. The point comes where actions speak louder than words.

I've done it... Long distance is hard though and you both have to be really invested in the relationship... My ex and I didn't make it though... we were literally continents apart.

I would definitely like to meet a woman even if it's online but we both have to be realistic going intoa relationship and honesty is highly important... my ex left out many details about herself and for the first few weeks of meeting each other I felt quite decieved... we got past all that and it was great but the distance and the constant pressure of having to make the time we spent apart seem minimalistc was difficult.

I say as long as both parties know where they going and the is alot of compromise made they online girlfriends rule

I have actually met most of my girlfriends online. I am really shy when meeting new people, so the advent of the internet was a wonderful thing for me. Plus, it takes the guesswork out of the "Is she gay or straight?" dilemma. I recommend meeting women online wholeheartedly.

I would absolutely start dating someone online. I like how it forces you to get to know each other better before you can get intimate physically. I guess I'm a little old fashioned. :) I have met very few lez women in my area, and I am not interested in them anyway. I would love to find love. I would rather be with a woman on the other side of the country who I really care about, than be with a local woman I have no feelings for. If any of you are interested in me, please send me a message. :)
