Like I said, [b]If it works for you

if two people meet online AND are single (or in a relationship that they are not happy in and are looking to get out of), and they are serious about meeting in person, then it has a chance. but, they have to be prepared to actually move in together, or at least closer, like the same town.
if one of the two parties is not really serious about the relationship, if all they want is an internet fling, one of the two parties will get hurt, either emotionally or physically.
now, lets say jim and stacy get meet in hong kong. she lives in baltimore, he in australia. unless one of them is willing to make the move towards the other, it most likely will not work. you have to be willing to make that leap, take that chance, to be with the one you love. i did, as did she, and we are so in love it is coming out of our ears. we have never been happier.
unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as us. there were a few tense moments initially, but we just took each others hands, gritted our teeth, and faced those times together, as a team.

Well, to be quite honest, it's unfair for me to ask him that because of what all he will be leaving behind, as well as the great job that he has and will be taking care of me with until I get on my feet. I have thought of that countless times but I'm pretty sure the answer will be doubtful from him because of all of that. 😬 It's kind of crap situation.

Yeah I see what you mean. I'm kind of having an issue myself right now. After he comes down here this summer/fall and after we've planned on what we're going to do...it's stressful as HELL just to think about because I live in KY he lives in FL. My family are very close people. It's very hard for me to think about what I am going to leave behind, including friends, pets, and family.
There is a difference in 'Internet relationships' (aka playing house in my opinion) ..... and long distance relationships.
Right now I have feelings for someone who lives on the other side of the country from me. We didn't meet online... we met through a mutual friend in person but we use the internet as a way to talk, as well as the phone... he is into me as well but neither of us have jumped into anything because we live so far apart... it can work... but we are being careful and mindful of the details like AC and others have mentioned... one must be willing to move and alter their life accordingly ... time and patience is what we are counting on in our on situation. Its time and patience that is also very important and needed for those relationships where the 2 meet online as well which can work. RJ & FJ being prime examples. You cant help who you fall in love with and its how the 2 of you as a couple make it work that counts.
