Yup, very true. Best things in life are usually never easy.

I think it's far too easy to fall in love with someone online. I'm sure you can find a girl in RL and it would be MUCH easier to start a relationship and you would be take a smaller risk if it turns out for the worst. Creating a healthy online relationship in which two people trust each other enough to meet in person takes a long time. And when you fall in love with someone in RL you really understand them, in a way that you can't possibly know them online, you can see the subtler aspects of their personality. Of the many online realtionships i've seen, I've seen a couple of succesful ones but most of them end in disappointment and suffering.

Find someone in real life, try your best and if you absolutely can't find anyone, then try online.

Lol, I was kidding.

Pfft, if the person's really the love of your LIFE, that's a pretty good reason to move.

I will give you a failed long term internet relationship story thats true.

First of this relationship started on a Mud. Which is an internet text game. Now the male lived in Arizona. The female lived in Canada some where near the border.(I am from the USA do not expect me to know geography) Now after about a year of talking online the the two of them eventually hit off. Their was a pre-online relationship for the male, but female wanted him before that. Now after this year or so of talking he flies out to Canada they get married and he moves in. After they get married, he convinces her to have a child. But she has like 4-5 alread. But he has emotional baggage, and well is a bit to rough to the kids, hitting them ignoring them general bad parenting. So she kicks him out and says that he cant come back, unless he does a bunch of things. He does not do any of these things. It has been 2 years since these events have happened. And he still hasn't been allowed to see his child.

This has nothing to do with whose the bad one, the good one. This is about sacrifice, and risk. Is true love worth it when you can end up with a situation worse. Maybe you could be lucky and find it and keep it but, we all have our problems so it could of been any of us. If we went out to fly for love.

lol Must be a lad thing

Lol thought so you were but was just wondering about the statement.

Rough. Maybe it could be worth the risk and sacrifice..either way the outcome may be (if it eventually works out or not), either you really did get your true love, or it leads to something worse (like in this story) which will then make you learn the hard way. I mean, nothing comes easy right..and if we don't take risks or make sacrifices or even make mistakes, we can't experience and feel what it's like and so we can learn from it as well.
But of course going through the pain and hurt will definitely not be easy. Again, nothing is ever easy. Just hope for the best and keep strong I guess.

I tried long distance e-dating and I was scammed.

People can tell you what they want to tell and keep back what would put you off, which is harder in real life.

Never mind the 'love of your life' rubbish, couples must live locally because then the true colours of people can be constantly experienced in the flesh.

Probably, but don't be so determinist. Maybe what hasn't run for you will do for someone. But yes, it takes a lot of luck and determination of both parts (by this order), and still the chances are almost 0. But well, who knows, I've seen really weird relations, including this.

Lol true love exists in fairy tales... Anyone here wanna take a census?? I have a feeling there are more guys on here than girls anyway.
