I am for online love. Why not? It's basically interactive pornography when you get to the sexual part. But I'm not sure about like a committed online relationship. Only because I could never trust that someone would take it seriously and honor that... Like, they could say they're your online girlfriend/boyfriend but be married with kids in real life.
You just never know who you're talking to on the internet so it's hard to trust anything anyone says.

Sometimes the closest people to you are those you don't see everyday, you met in a chat room, various places on the Internet.
I'm sure I would have a different view on this if I weren't monogamous, but I treat people mostly the same online as I do in real life, and that includes the very real possibility of becoming attracted to them. Perhaps a year ago I met up with someone I met online for the first time and they really were exactly how I expected they would be, which only further reinforced my views that it truly doesn't matter.
Of course, it sure helps that I'm not 'saving myself' for 'the one.'

It's pretty cringey when someone joins a game or chatroom just "2 luk 4 grilfren" but sometimes people just end up crushing on each other and then liking and dating when meeting and communicating online. As long as communication can be maintained, emotional connections can be established and then relationships can form--whether they happen on purpose or accident--regardless of the medium of communication. It can just naturally happen, even if it doesn't seem natural.
When seeing a group of twelve year old boys all spamming "WHO NEEDS BOYFRIEND" repeatedly though, that shit is just laughable. I play Clash of Clans and there is always some little twat spamming the global chat with "who is a girl" "i need a girl" "clan with girls plz" and it's really fucking annoying.
i suppose you'd have little recourse if you cant get a real girlfriend and were cripplingly starved of affection
I believe in online dating and love just as much as I believe in real life dating and love.
Nothing
I believe in the internet as a medium for building friendships just as real as those made in person, but actually dating somebody exclusively online is pretty much doomed because people need tangible human contact to function properly. As for meeting people on dating sites, that's fine I suppose, but the few people I know who participate in that have had all those relationships turn out to be horrible, traumatic mistakes.
You look nice today.
This guy brutally sodomizes me.
Cereal is pretty cool. If you're cool you'll add me on Steam. Also, Letterboxd.
No thanks, I'm sure that I won't be talking to a real girl most of the time.
It would probably be a dog again. I'm not gonna have romantic chats with dogs, 3 times is more than enough!
I suppose it really depends.
"Online relationships" reminds me of what happens in MMO games frequented by horny 14-year-olds. In Runescape, new players would stand in the starting town saying "buying gf" until someone created a female character. Then they would follow the female character and offer her a pitiful amount of gold (usually less than 100) to be his girlfriend. (To put this in perspective: you can't even approach the maximum level without getting 100,000,000s of gold in the process, and that's if you're really bad with money.) After the offer is made, 75% of the time, they will reply "im a guy irl lol". The other 25% of the time, he'll say "sure lol" and just pretend to be a girl. Then they'll just sort of follow each other around. This was always the time that I noped out of there and did something else. I certainly couldn't stick around and risk losing more braincells.
Beyond that, I have heard of a few instances where people have had real relationships online. There are a few couples that have met on World of Warcraft, Maplestory, etc. Although, the Maplestory wife DID kill her husband after they met in real life, but... Anyway, it's possible. Knowing someone online can give you a good understanding of who they are. You can know all about someone's personality just by chatting with them. As you read this, you probably already have a good idea of who Bit is, and what Bit is like. You may not even have put much thought into it. It's just how our brains work.
Even if a relationship starts online, moving the relationship to the real life can present new challenges. Someone you meet online probably isn't as good looking as you imagined them. They probably have more little flaws that were never in your perfect fantasy. Let alone the fact that they may live 3000 miles away in the sunny country of Britland or maybe amongst the kangaroos in Austria. This can lead to disappointment when your dreams are crushed. You may even blame them, in some respects, although your unreasonable expectations aren't their fault.
Of course, all of this assumes you don't mean on some dating website. Dating websites are much worse. Everyone picks the most ridiculously attractive picture of themselves and make use of "Myspace Cropping" to make themselves look thin (Which is ridiculous on its own. Some guys like larger ladies, but nobody likes to be surprised by someone who looks fuck all like their profile picture. I mean, shit, what kind of precedent does that set?). You can also be guaranteed that you've seen absolutely none of their flaws. At least you NGers know that I'm a lunatic. You can bet that I'd never put my mental instability on a dating profile. Like kids? That doesn't matter. Some of them will show up to a date with three kids they never mentioned. Oh, you don't like kids? You're a monster.
Wait... why do you want to do all of this?
Tell you what... skip the online relationship thing. Orgies are where it's at. Last year's anual Newgrounds Orgy was a huge success. All you need to do is show up, have loads of gratuitous sex, blow your load, and then leave when you're ready. Nobody expects you to put on a facade. Nobody gets clingy and complains when you didn't call the next day. It's 24 hours of constant sodomy. No bullshit.
I used to poke fun at people for it, but fuck it I'm not an immature kid anymore. Let people do whatever they want with their love life.

Yes.
I've had a few run-ins myself.
It wasn't even on an MMO, it was on an FPS for crying out loud.

As far as online relationships, they have their good parts and not so good parts. For just making some friends, it's fairly easy. Intimate is a bit trickier, from my experience need some physical intimacy if a romantic relationship is to go anyway.
cybersex is pretty goddamn funny though.
We met in a chat room
Now our love can fully bloom
Sure, the World Wide Web is great
But you, you make me salvivate

It's just so pleasingly retarded...
I'm guessing webkins is full of online love.

i was in online relationships as a lonely youth. they stunt your social development and are generally unhealthy for both parties, especially if trust is unable to be forged. waste of time and effort. social psychology shows you how relationships are formed and cultivated but online relationships lack several fundamental aspects that allow relationships to truely blossom.

I believe it's way harder without the pheromones, facial recognition and potential for actual contact.
But things happen.

I believe that people can fall in love and forge friendships online but if there are no plans for meeting up in real life (even if it's years ahead) then i don't think it'll work out in the end.
"Till one day, that lion gets up and tears the shit out of everybody."
Yeah I think online relationships can definitely work out.
I have a Scottish friend whose fiancé lives in Canada, and she met him through competitive Smash Bros online tournaments. They see each other once a year in summer, but she'll be moving to Canada once she finishes her education. If that's not a successful relationship, I don't know what is. Of course, nobody said it'd be easy - she deeply misses being physically with her fiancé when it's not summer, and the timezone difference is harsh, but wouldn't it all be worth it if it ends in a happy marriage?
And honestly, with video and voice calls available now, online relationships are all the more viable. You simply can't pretend to be a different person online without flat-out refusing voice/video calls, and if someone rushes into a relationship with another person who refuses voice/video calls, then they're either too immature or too naive for a relationship. It's generally a baaaad idea to get into a relationship with someone without knowing what they look, sound and act like in real life, and you have no excuse not to know, with the tools available today.
Some of my closest friends are people I know only through the internet, so I definitely believe in the ability to have meaningful online relationships with other people, whether romantic or not. Romantic online relationships simply need a little more dedication, patience and loyalty.
