I hear many people meet their soul mate on the Internet .I think the most important things are that, like any relationship, it takes commitment, trust and work to make it last. Internet relationships are overly dependent upon honesty .Along with honesty is the need for trust. If we can’t trust that both sides isn’t also dating someone else, then our relationship is doomed to fail.
Relationships take work but Internet ones take even more work.This means even if we only have five minutes, we can send a quick e-mail, or instant message just we let as to know we are thinking about each other . It's important to keep as close even if we are busy.("whith matters of consequence"  there is no time for idle.) 
All we can do is trust in each other until we gives a reason not to believe in our faithfulness.
We can same try scheduling time to get together or chat on the phone,skype,(hearing each other’s voice ) rather than e-mail or instant messenger. In fact, communication is all that we have since we are unable to spend time together in-person like traditional couples.But the good thing is  we have the potential to be a very emotionally connected .
If we are interested in each other and wants to see where the relationship goes, can our internet relationships work I belive.
IT's needs encouragement from both sides to continue the relationship long distance .If saying,(I think ):"I not sure I want to put in the effort." dosant work's.
If you are looking for a deeper relationship with levels of meaning.!!!!!!!
"Succes is to get what you want,luck is to keep what you get."
.........so SUCCES!

I completely agree Lucy. It is tough to keep up a long distance relationship with another but certainly not impossible. Trust plays a huge part and of course eventually one or both people should travel to meet the other. I also agree that an online relationship can be a very supportive and emotionally bonding experience that can provide much needed nourishment to both people involved. Hugs Michael.

I think most would agree that a long distance or internet relationship can work but it takes a lot of comittment from both sides. The best scenario is to try to meet asap and see if the chemistry is there in person. If so, then it's easier to handle the distance until both can be together.
There are many couples here at MD that made the long-distance thing work and now are together. So we know it's do-able!

just as in person, meeting someone online at first is pretty exciting because I start thinking I had a choice to seek out and contact that person, she is interested in me too, and along with getting to know each other thru email, then chat, then phone calls, the anticipation of finally meeting in person builds and builds until it drives me nucking futs...I'm always ready, willing, and able to go anywhere to meet someone, asap...or to even relocate for the right woman who will put up with a handsome man like me...plus, I'm not going to live forever!!!

Meeting someone on the internet is scary...Moving to be with them is even more terrifying...I'd have to say it is worth it in the end though if you have someone you love and want to be with forever.
...It works out great for some people, not so great for others. It's all about how you feel and how the other person feels. Plus it is a good way to get to know someone because you have to talk more than be physical with each other.

the OP sez "even if we only have 5 minutes we can send a quick e-mail, or IM, just to let us know we are thinking of each other"...that is so true and I for the life of me can't figure out why two ppl who are honestly serious and interested about each other wouldn't be able to find those 5 minutes?

5 minutes is easy. But what if you're 1,000 miles apart or more? Just getting to the first meeting may be difficult. You won't be able to get together every week end or go out on week day dates. People who have overcome the distance thing have my admiration. It is hard to make that work!

Hell yeah!
Imagine one of you being in Canada and the other one being in the States, or Spain...You gotta love each other to make that work.

Yes it takes a lot of love, dedication, and work.

I think it's rare that it works out for the long term. It's easy being interested in someone when you maybe get to spend a few days with them every few months, and the rest of the time you talk by phone, email, IM, etc.
But when the two move in together or get married/are living together & see each other constantly . . . the anticipation of being with the other lessens. Pretty soon, instead of looking forward to spending time with the other person, you look forward to having time by yourself.
So yeah, long distance relationships work, but make them into no distance relationships & I think they go south.

LGQ 
Is he coming back here?
Yes, they can be heartbreaking, but the end result will hopefully put 2 people together permanently!
