Instead of touching every day, these couples are building a strong non-physical foundation that makes these relationships, when they are successful, just as if not more meaningful as others where a physical presence is immediate.
They are in love or maybe the distance is temporary and they see a future with that person.Long distance relationship sucks though.I would rather be the single than being in one unless the distance was temporary issue.6 months max.Other than that forget it
When two people are right for each other, distance is something you both can work to overcome. There are people who found love across the world, while others never cross paths even if they live on the same street. This is when fate happens
There are a few people here who connected online, two of them on this board! It's a difficult thing to do but it can happen.
Lol that's a rarity I'm sure.....
Idk if I'd even consider someone from here for a LDR.....
Too many variables, lol
I don't think it's worth it, personally.
Especially if the guy has hooked up w/ other posters from here.
Not my thing.

It would be a "red flag" alert for me.
Lots of people can find people to have relationships with close to where they are. They just can't find someone they like near as much as the person that happens to be a distance away.

Perhaps. I also met my fiancé on a forum, a different one than this. We talked online for about three months before meeting (would have met sooner if it weren't for his work). We wouldn't have progressed to a relationship status before meeting though b/c we both knew that the chemistry online may not translate in a physical way; so people who haven't actually met each other and saying they're in a relationship does seem a bit of fantasy to me.

I was worried about this and brought it up to him about how you can't get to know someone by seeing them once every few months or so. Yet it worked out so that, because of the kind of work he is involved in, we got to see each other a lot over the past few months.

That's what we had right before we first actually met. I was actually worried I might not really like him in person and that we'd go back to just talking online (we don't do that at all anymore; we talk on the phone, which is unusual because I hate talking on the phone and he doesn't like it too much either). We both didn't expect to like the other person that much when we met, that we'd be polite for a few days and then go our separate ways after. It was quite a shock to us that the chemistry fell over into "real life" too.
