Hmmm... love, or rather, relationships online, can be one of the hardest thing on Earth, if its real. Most people dismiss it as something fake, to either sound hardcore on here, or for other reasons, but then wish they could be in a relationship with several "hot" people on here, but thats just people following the bandwagon, you know who you are, and I won't waste my time with that.
Long-distance and online relationships are often extrmemly difficult for several reasons, but also have easier advantages. Its all too easy for someone to make a life online which noone can disprove, and you have no choice but to trust it, but that again can happen in real life, so thats not the biggest problem. Obviously most people simply don't have the strength to handle relationships like that, requiring heavy attention and touch and care on a regular basis, nothing wrong with that either.
Some of the problems of long distance comes in at when a person is in an emergency, and you are the last one to find out, if you are lucky, this often means you have to take the chance of something happening to your partner and never seeing them again. Therefore it is often wise to make friends with their friends/family incase you get serious.
Trust is another issue of course, with the main problems of relationships as such being lack of physical contact, there is only so much you can give, and if things go sour, there may very well be a chance for a partner to cheat, and not tell you a thing. Scary thought.
There are some advantages though, I'd say the most important one is the connection someone must have to make a real relationship stay serious. Since there is no physical contact, there would have to be something else to keep two people coming back to one another, and if that is the case, then when they do meet, if they were who they say they were, there is a high chance it can continue that way... though living together may be a different story, but that again is the case for anyone. Also the distance allows you to be safe from psycho exes, and that has to count for something.
In my case, I didn't actively look for one, it just happened. It went from excellent to bad, and back to excellent (as some of you may know), and it took alot of dedication, and hard work just like anything else. And I'm still a big part of my someone's life everyday. Love is blind, and doesn't see color, sex, or even distance. Being heartbroken feels the same at any distance, so the love shouldn't be questioned. IF there is a someone meant for you, they could be anywhere on the globe, that being said long distance is hard, but not pointless, find out for yourself and not from others who had a bad experience or heard from someone else.
