you think is it good ? Not really, I don't see how you can develop relationship skills without actually seeing the person. There's always that 3rd wall in the internet, you never know if it's susie the 17 year old cutie, or Bob the 43 year old pedophile.
is it worth it ? Nah, something like this isn't worth feeling hurt over. I don't think breaking up is something you should feel hurt over online or not. There's someone out there for you, and breaking up is a chance to get back on the bike and finish your quest.
would you do it ? I am guilty of it this girl I never met before but lived in my town and went to a different school, I don't remember how she found me but we started talking on aim, showed each other pics, and we were dating. This was like in 8th grade though. Not a bad experience at all; we have met and are friends now.
is it healthy ? No, I again don't see how relationship skills can be developed, typing a baby I love you and saying I really do love you are two different things. People are often different on the computer than they are in real lives, so people get hurt more. Online people can hide behind these computer screens and tear you apart which ever way they want, in real life it takes a bit more balls to actually tear someone down to their face.
has anyone you know done it ? Not really.
does it last ? Since you don't actually see the person all the time, it might actually last longer than a real relationship.
write your overall opinion and why !
This is my opinion exactly, so I don't think it's good at all. Online you can never really fully know a person, and how can you care about someone over a computer screen? Things get taken out of context, and how are you suppose to go on a virtual date?
I don't bash anybody for doing it, like I said I even did it when I was younger, we all learn and grow out of things as we get older:)
Bottom line, love comes in many shapes and fourms and people should be able to express it and feel it in any way they choose:)

dont think its good as it isnt exactly safe and theres no point as relationships such as boyfriend/girlfriend should be close to each other and not far away.

you think is it good ? No. It's not. I mean, I could see making a good friend online but having an online relationship isn't healthy. People need to make contact with eachother and actually know the person.
is it worth it ? It's not worth it. It would be a waste of time if you ask me.
would you do it ? Of course not.
is it healthy ? No. It's just another reason for people to be dormant.
has anyone you know done it ? No.
does it last ? It might for a while. But it would end.

you think is it good ? It has it's benefits
is it worth it ? Yea because you can build a strong relationship based on things other than looks and sex.
would you do it ? Sure, why not.
is it healthy ? It has it's ups and downs just like any other relationship.
has anyone you know done it ? My cousin does it all the time and he's happy.
does it last ? They talked for almost a year.
write your overall opinion and why ! In the world today there are many different ways to hook up online, myspace, match.com, and eharmony.com are just a few. With any relationship you need three main things trust, love, and devotion. Why can't you find that online?

you think is it good ? In some cases
is it worth it ? In some cases
would you do it ? Probably not again
is it healthy ? It depends, but generally I think it's best to have a real relationshiop.
has anyone you know done it ? No, I've only known people online who did it.
does it last ? what?
write your overall opinion and why !
I think that it's ok to have a online relationship if both people really want it, they don't get too dramatic, and they both have proof or know that the other one is safe (not a seductive old man). But most and many of these will probably not last so I think it's safe to say that you should try to find a real gf/bf, instead of depending on the internet.

you think is it good ? at the time when you have them, they are great
is it worth it ? looking back on one i had, i would say no
would you do it ? i have
is it healthy ? no, because it robs you of the opportunity of having real relationships
has anyone you know done it ? yes
does it last ? no
write your overall opinion and why ! for the most part these types of relationships don't work and aren't healthy. the only way that these relationships work is if you can have periodical real life contact. but for the main part these relationships don't work and aren't healthy for you.

you think is it good ?
I dont think they are good OR bad. I think they are just another way of people dating.
is it worth it ?
Is it worth it? Hmmm... I think its a 50/50 chance. Some can deal with it some cant.
would you do it ?
I have before and it failed :(
is it healthy ?
I think anything that doesn't destroy your body is healthy. However if you cannot take not seeing someone, do not do it.
has anyone you know done it ?
Me
does it last ?
Like I said, 50/50. Some people it works for, for me it didn't and I'm personally gonna stay away from it cuz I don't like not getting to see the person.
write your overall opinion and why !
I think, overall, that it is perfectly healthy. Whether or not it last depends on both people, and it is in my opinion, a 50/50 chance of success or failure.

You think is it good ?
It's like getting an ice cream or a sundae. They both have benefits but one is better than the other. It really depends on the person and the relationship.
Is it worth it?
It's worth a shot. I mean you won't know until you try. Also you'll gain some mediocre experience in dating.
Would you do it ?
I have and I'm still in doubt if I'm regretting it or if I'm happy I got to experience it.
Is it healthy ?
It could be beneficially healthy. It depends on the relationship, and the bond between each other.
Has anyone you know done it ?
My self and a close friend
Does it last ?
I'm really not sure anymore. There's too many doubts with each other. That i know was a mistake I made.
Write your overall opinion and why !
Overall I think it should be given a try by everyone. It's somewhat a taste of a real relationship. For example, you'll run into trust issues, sadness, and times when you just need each other.
