Online relationships can absolutely work out. I met my second wife online in '92. (This was well before "the internet" was what it is today -- before Netscape, etc.) We corresponded with "emails" of sorts. (Also before email was what it is today.) It began very casually, as I was looking for some help writing my first scripts for videos and met her on a writing board. She didn't help me with the script writing, but we became "pen pals" in a big way with several pages of letters each day for a few months. We would later compile all those emails into our "book" of over 500 pages.
We lived 2000 miles apart, so in the beginning we didn't figure we'd ever meet, but as we got to know each other and liked what we learned, she said it would be nice, and about that time the airlines had a price war and I was able to get a round-trip ticket from Wyoming to NYC for something like $150, so I asked if she'd show me around NY if I showed up. "Yes!"
That pretty much sealed the deal. She was the same gal in person as she was in her letters only better. A couple months later I drove there to see her again, and since her old car was on its last legs, I left her my car to use. A month later she returned it to me in Wyoming and never left. We were married a year later and both felt like we had the world's best love affair of all time. Tragically she died a few years later when a blood vessel burst in her magnificent brain, but the time we had together was magical.
I met my current wife online 16 years ago. We've been together 14 of those and haven't killed each other yet.
2000 miles and vastly different life styles tend to make that difficult, along with Life's ups and downs. She has too mental issues nowadays that I have no desire to go and rescue her. Did that before for 5 years with ex, never ever again. I WILL never go so lonely as to go fix another women's problems in exchange for not being lonely, FARK that
I believe they can work out perfectly fine however after you chat for a while and get to know one another you have to meet to get that bond and also to ensure the person is who he/she says they are. Also you have to know that one of you are willing to move to be with the other.

i mean i dont know how long it will take for me to beomce datable or attractive..and this is the only guy ihave ever liked. he hasn't come to see me and nor hav i him but i think it is fair. i wouldn't want him to see me like this anyway.
he live all the way in saskatoon. he's a cool guy and i would like to able to try and meet him once before he totaly lose intrests in talking to me.
OMG. I'm the other guy! I didn't know you were obese! What is this trickery?
Anything can work out if both people want it to. Everyone is negative about everything, do what you want to do and don't listen to anyone else. Very rarely will anyone be positive about an idea you have unless it is with yours, if you're not successul they will say "i told you so" but if you're successful you'll be praised.
I stopped caring about what anyone had to say a long time ago. Do what you want.
Hey, quit being a popcorn piggie, pass that bowl down this way.
Original Poster: If you have been talking to this man for 2 years now and you have not improved yourself within that time what makes you think you will improve yourself now?
You need to improve yourself for YOU not for HIM or anyone else. Until that happens you do not need to be involved with anyone romantically because you will make both of you miserable.
