Re: What odds do you give a relationship
Less.
People are normally different in real life in a way that isn't good. It's easy to be interesting when you've got a minute or so before having to come up with a sentence. Believe me.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
See? In real-life unless you're ten to sixty times faster at coming up with things to say as you are in MSN you're ****ed like a pig in its moist, squeel-enducing vagina.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
Depends, if you both are able to lift it over the 'cyberlove' status it can go anywhere.
Why don't you give us more details?

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
I'd say that in some ways online relationships can have a better chance than, say, someone you meet in a club, as you actually have a chance to talk and get to know one another before other things become involved, While you may not come out with as many 'swift' one liners irl, you are still the same person with the same interests (Assuming you wern't putting on an act in the first place, but a relationship has problems from the start in that case). I would guess that, percentage wise, more people find long term partners online than do in nightclubs. It depends as well what you look for in a partner, is the physical or mental side more important?
I'd certainly not give a relationship that started online any less of a chance than one that started irl assuming, of couse, that you do now see each other like a regualr relationship. Long distance relationships are very hard to hang on to, online or otherwise.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
Seeing as zhukov's probably been talking to a sixty year old male accountant from boston I doubt it really matters whether or not he's slightly less witty offline.
Amazingly the key to being interesting is telling the truth about your life. I used to make up bullshit when chatting up women but then I realised my actual life is so ****ed strange it'd be much more amusing to talk about while drunk.
That and introducing yourself as Major Lee Slick.
What a great name.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
I was ith my ex for a year. We met on the net.
It ended because I couldn't be bothered with the long-distance thing anymore. It's the same as any other relationship, it depends on the people involved - not how you meet.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
From personal experience I've had 2 relationships with people I've met online. (Having said that, both relationships started offline.) The first started at a PA meet, I'd never met him irl before. The second started basically because we had been spending a lot of time together irl, both on nights out and on the phone, and it just developed into something more. This was with someone I had met several times irl and had known for about 3 years. Well we got together about a year and a half ago and are still going strong, living together, very happy. To be honest I'd say the internet, or the PC to be more precise, is the thing that binds our relationship together in a lot of ways (Does that sound tooo sad?!)
If you're talking about a relationship that actually starts online by talking via a chat client, then I wouldn't say they are less likely to work than any other relationship. In fact I know several people who have a very happy life together having started an online relationship (Sunday and Erin to name one example). The key as Ebany says is to move the relationship OFFLINE. At some point, if you want the relationship to last, you have to communicate via some means other than the internet, and ultimately to make the move to actually physically be together.

Same as any other type of relationship, even one's started in prison with a same sex partner, they all have the same chances :P

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
the internet is simply just another means of communication
if people can hook up over the phone chat lines i don't see how the internet is any different :P
ok.. so a year and a bit ago i would have said otherwise. 'internet relationships are stupid and you only get hurt' but when the right person comes along...

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
depends, on lots of things. What pab says about the differences are quite true.... when it comes to dating. but if you can stick out a relationship online for a few months, all of that stuff fades by the by anyway.
Zhukov it depends on you and on her, and what you're like together. mediums of communication mean shit, unless you're actively abusing the medium to promote a false image of you....

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
It depends on what you mean. If it's only going to be a purely internet relationship, then it will fail, given sufficent time. If you're talking about one which has developed into a normal relationship after meeting on the net, then I don't see any real reason why it should be any more or less given to failue than any other relationship.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
when the right person comes along, regardless of how you communicate with them, sparks will still fly
the internet is just as good as a phone line, or a handwritten letter in that regard, and infact possibly better - with video conferencing. you can tell your partner how great they look, see them smile/blush and so on

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
I really doubt you can sustain a relationship only through that kind of contact, though.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
I'd give it more chance so long as you meet up in real life after a certain amount of time. Sustaining something through MSN for a long period sounds quite hard.
After this and your thread about relationships with young girls, I’m starting to think you’ve been grooming some 14 year old on the Busted website Zukhov nah seriously good luck and stop asking for advice do what you feel is best, if it feels right then go for it.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
Ofcourse Im going to meet her. A purely online relationship doesnt sound much to me. Its not going be to be before the end of januar, when Im planning to spend a week in Oslo, where she lives.
And no, Im not a lying phsyco, so I have been quite frank with who I am. She even knows Im a commie too
She seems fun and uncomplicated. I havent made a move on any girl the last two years, and I dont want anyone with loads of issues, or a someone whos 5-6 years older than me and whos a bit to keen on me (witch I suspect is becouse she thinks Im a mentally stable, nice guy witch this woman kinda needs).
I dont want the girl who keeps hitting on any guy at my very local student pub either.
So uncomplicated seems VERY good atm.
edit: to Hicks, when did I have a thread on young girls??? This girl is my age.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
Assuming you are compatable people then it should last as well as any other relationship. In some ways you are probably likely to meet more like-minded people on the internet than IRL, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
less if the person dont live in the same city i am. had 2 and both were problematic. But i must confess that atm i look for dates on inet, easier to make the girl have interest on you. the problem on rl relations is that if u look one girl at the bar and she dont finds you attractive, youre out. On internet you can make her see other qualities you have b4 u meet her, and that can give u advantage points on the first meeting

Re: What odds do you give a relationship
with parents becoming more aware of the dangers of the internet, and the ability of police to track childrens' mobile phones, I would say the chances of it working are less than they used to be.
