Internet Relationship

[LETSGOJETS]

So yeah as the title of the thread says, im sorta in a internet relationship. I dumped my old girlfriend because she moved. Im kinda in love with one of my friends. Shes a very nice girl and shes like me, neglected and made fun of. Well I might need help is it better to ask her over the internet or in person.

online relationships arent a good idea!!! what if the person ends up to be a pedafile?

Internet relationships REALLY bug me, not because you can't feel love for someone you cant physically be with, but because it is too easy to do so. When you're talking to someone on the internet you can fall in love with the IDEA of the person, you can fall in love with the person they present to you but not actually themselves.

I guarantee you've been in a online conversation and backspaced a scentence and thought "oh what the fuck have i just typed... i sound like a total idiot" gone back, deleted it and re-typed it multiple times until you look at it and think "yeah, i sound cool sophisticated and educated" or something along those lines. That is you doing something you simply cant in person and that kind of self censoring is what makes online relationships quite ridiculous to me because you never actually know the person themselves until you meet them, get to know them in person and see how they react to situations etc.

Unless you can be with a person on a almost daily basis the relationship just isn't the same as a normal, loving relationship where you are with eachother daily because the communication just isn't there.

As I think others missed this piece of information, I'm going to clarify it to make sure I'm getting it right.
You aren't in an online relationship with someone you've never met, but rather, debating whether or not to ask your friend out online or not. If this is correct, read what continues.

Honestly, if this is how you two feel most comfortable in the beginning, than I think it's OK. The relationship hasn't necessarily "taken off" yet, and you two want to start off casual. As long as this ins't the only way the two of you will interact in the future, it's fine.
There is no reason to say that asking people out online is "not good enough" or anything like that. It's just the world we live in.

The only time I see internet relationships working is if you've met them before hand, or it can turn out nasty.

Ya, if you've met them before, but don't get to see them often, then it could work...
