i've never had an actual internet relationship...but i tend to meet people online. im on a dating site, and i'll talk to guys from my city...if i happen to really get along with someone i'll maybe give them my phone number or whatever, but i've never actually met any of them and they've never stuck around and been anything important...i would say that its probably not going to work out unless they plan to eventually meet in person and have a relationship in person. an online relationship can only go so far, you know?
