Very True, tho online relationships (without already being in a real life one) can work out very well
Anyone here actually met someone at KMC and then met them in real life? If yes, has anyone taken the next step and started dating them?
Let me see, I live in North Carolina and the people I guess I would say I'm closest to at KMC live in England, Michigan, Canada, New Jersey, and England again. Don't really see me joining them for a night at the pub any time soon.
I know Fire and Storm are together, but not sure if that was because of KMC (I don't think so).
two of my best friends met on the internet, they now live together, her moving from the states to live in Australia. i'm the best man at their wedding. online relationships arn't impossible, they're just not seen as a very easy way of doing it but i've seen people living a very happy life together after meeting online

It's not impossible for attraction of some kind to be there, but I believe online relationships are pointless if you both have absolutely no plans to make it happen in real life at some point.If you meet online, then hang out or start visiting each other. It's more or less just a long distance relationship that started online. You can't help where you meet. If you start "dating" online but have no plans to meet at all, or are incapable of doing so (however long the distance is) then it's pointless.

So I was observing alot of the relationships that go on in KMC and other forums I have visted and noticed that alot of people who participate in an online relationship are already commited in real life to someone else. I really dont agree with this, and I do believe it is considered an act of cheating.Say your real life boy/girlfriend was on another forum and one day you stop in to see what he was so attracted to it for and you notice somewhere in he display set up (under his signature or location) it said "I love you Dirty(girl/boy)3". How would you react?
I do think that alot of internet relationships can work out an I have seen it happen before, so I can't really see what would make internet dating and real life dating different when it comes to morality.
What are your opinions?
LOSERS
Hmmm..Internet relationships are best treated with caution and a large pinch of salt. I found out, to my own expense, that investing too much emotion in one will only lead to hurt and frustration. If it's treated lightly, then I think it's all good, or if you know that you'll be able to meet up and form some sort of relationship in real life. Otherwise it becomes pointless and ridiculous. Plus it's very hard to not be suspicious or jelaous, it requires an insane amount of trust and some poeple, myself included, just aren't able to give that level of trust to someone over the net.
