Category: Dating and Relationships
Title says it all folks. Enjoy, And keep me entertained dammit! After a few posts I'll be back to post my views. Note that the relationship doesn't have to be true. It can be onZone only.
Hmmmmm, I'd have to say the relationship between julia, and her many furry/feathered friends. lmfao!
the most disturbing would have to be you, Garrett and Jelly o saki. oops did i tell your secrets? so sorry!
lmfao shea! as for interesting, I'd say jared and his programming languages, sinse he always compares them to women
lmfao daniel and shea! damn good answers! as for most interesting here. I think that birdshit thinks he's with cala, which is also a disturbing thought but yeha
*shudders in horror. that is a bit disturbing but he got told off yesterday.
no, birdshit thinking he's with anything with a pussy if distrubing, he should go suck off jared or something.
lmfao! I think birdshit wants liam, as he continues to put liam's audio up as his own. or at least...I remember him doing that
oh yes... i was there yesterday when cala told birdy off... i don't know any of the relationships on here except like 2 so... really can't relate ...but wanted to add that about birdy dude
actually I think that all online relationships are disturbing, as none of them are real until parties have actually met. all this falling in love crap over the internet is just overrated.
hmm, I would have to disagree with you claire. Not all internet started relationships are over rated. yeah, i can see where you would come up with that for some. but not all!
Daniel, stop being such a damn prick on this board. Don't be jealous because I'd rather be with Jared.
Daniel have fun living in your bitter loanly world, because as long as your this pissed off just because you didn't get what you wanted you'll never have a relationship and be single for the rest of your life. Sometimes you just have to let go, which you don't sceem to be able to do.
Shea, I don't necessarily think that people who m eet on the internet can't have a relationship, but I do think that it can't be called a relationship until the people involved have actually met in person. While you can be in love with the idea of someone, you can't possibly know for sure until you have met and had those feelings confirmed in person.
To post 14 agreed.
Agreed to last two speakers.
Internet may be a way for you to meet someone you think you'll fall in love with. You can even develop feelings, of sorts, based on what you think the person is like, but you never know until you meet, the longer you wait to meet after you feel there's something, the less likely it is to amount to anything.
Internet is jst like any other avenue of life, you meet people some interesting, some not so much, some you click with and some you do not click with, but the downside is that you geographical location becomes almost irrelevant so you may end up with a lot more practical problems when trying or wanting to turn that infatuation into a meeting, let alone living together and the like.
I don't even know if internet relationships work. I've seen the failed side of them and even if me and my fiance met online we knew each other for over 3 years without romantic intentions.
It looks like this site though has a few promising ones and I'll be curious to see how they play out, best of luck to all the people involved. :)
cheers

You guys are so mean! I have an online relationship with Shea's Jelly O Saki, and it's been going great! I'm not really sure when we met, what its actual name is, how old it is, or anything like that, but we love each other! So you negative bastards can go take a flying leap off a paper clip!
Personally, I'm madly in love with the randomizer. We'll be married soon I'm sure. Random users will be invited to the wedding.
lmfaolmfao! I wanted this to cause trouble, but damn! yes! to post 14, agreed 100%. thanks for your input
lmfaolmfaolmfao kai!!!!and becky? hee!
I'd say Tremaine and Joseph, just because they seem to be very into it (which is not such a bad thing at all) and they haven't actually met. People can be different in person than they are online. I hope things work out for them.
I hope they work out, but they're no different than any other relationship. So...I doubt it'll work, just as I doubt any and all relationships, including my own
Hmmm well, Garret, so negative are we?
well? I find it rare that a relationship lasts long at all, not that I'm not willing to try myself though. lol
agreed
How can two people have a relationship or fall in love without even meeting?
Compatibility should be key in any relationship. If the partyes involved haven't met, then it really isn't a relationship.
Surely someone is out there for you...No need for such negativity. It's all about the compatibility. Well, among other things.
Well, i think internet relationships can work, as long as the parties are committed to meeting, it can work out fine, David, variable calculous and i met in may and we're engaged and working on living in the same country, I love him more than anything and am greatful to the internet for letting me find him.
I think it goes a lot further than just being able to meet though. I think that if you have strong feelings for someone and those feelings are confirmed when you meet in person, it’s a lot harder to walk away from someone you’ve met in person than from someone you haven’t if you can’t be together for practical reasons. And generally there are a lot more practical obstacles that prevent people who meet online and who live some considerable distance away from one another from being together on a permanent basis. If you meet someone who lives in a foreign country, then the chances of actually being able to have a permanent life together are virtually 0. Yes it can happen, but it’s really not all as simple as that. A lot of countries are notoriously difficult to emigrate to, and, contrary to popular belief, marriage to a resident of said country does not guarantee you a visa. So I think that while people can develop feelings, meet in person and have intentions to be together permanently, the reality is somewhat removed from the dream. As a matter of interest, I don’t know of one single couple living in separate countries who have met on the internet, and who have actually gone on to have a permanent relationship together.
SB, I agree, in general with what you're saying although I think you take it further than I can agree with. There are instances where this can actually work. By "couple" in your previous post do you mean that in order for you to consider a relationship a full success the people involved have to be married, just out of curiousity?
no b by "couple" i mean that the parties have to be living together on a permanent basis, i.e. where both parties are legally entitled to stay in the country permanently. After all if one party is only on a temporary visa for instance there is still always a chance that a permanent visa will not be granted.
SB, fair enough definition. I know of one couple from HotBraille (precursor to the Zone) that met on there and got married, he from the U.S. she from Germany, they live in the U.S.
At least for the U.S. gaining residency is not so horribly difficult. It takes years though, which is the main problem and you must have an intermediate plan to come here such as the F1 student visa. Generally the factors that make living together in a different country so hard are financial in nature. If you don't have eduaction and you are relying on Social Security as source of income you'll lose that if you move since the new country will not be very happy about accepting you and putting you straight into its S.S. system (in fact I've never heard of that working) which means if you get married and both people rely on S.S. payments they'll have very little to live off of. Also you must have a bit of money to deal with the details of being able to get perminant visas, even student visas, you have to fly back home to pick up your student visa (if you are accepted) and then come back.
It's very difficult and it's something people must work very hard at, they must consider jobs/education as means of justfying theiir application independent of their marriage and in some cases they must qualify and in all cases they must be extremely patient but I disagree that it is impossible. I, in fact, tend to be able to proof the contrary in a matter of weeks. I still speak cautiously as I know the U.S. system is difficult to navigate and unexpected things may come up but I say if peole are willing to work hard at it and not just the relationship but their job/academic perspectives as well, this is something that is entirely possible. It's very hard, sure, but the bottomline is that it is doable, you do need commitment and a plan and some money in order to get it done though and most people who meet online like this don't have all three, at least not in the beginning, but without any of these things it will most likely fail.
