Yeah you might, but I don't consider that true love cause you don't really know what a person's like til you spend some time with him/her. And how d'you know you're not being lied to? And what about looks? Cause yeah, I know physical apparence ain't that important but you can be expecting something then find out none of what you had imagined even existed. How frustrating is that? You cannot fully trust someone you've met over the net. Being friends and all that is okay, but I wouldn't get too obssessed cause, back to reality, this doesn't usually work out, and you know you sister's case isn't common. Besides, there's a high chance you'll fall for someone else since that person you're dating over the Internet can't give you what you need, and I'm not just talking about sex, but like being with you whenever you need him/her and stuff couples do together.

Okay so clearly in your opinion that's not true love..so what is?

For me love only requires a person to have the emotion [love] and attach it to a [personality] wether that personality is fictional (internet personality) or not is irrelevant in to me...For the sake of identifying love that is I'm not one for internet or long distance love myself, see previous posts

Well, if that personality is fictional then you're lying to yourself! I think that people who get off on the Internet know none of that is real, but just a way to pass the time; either that or they cannot get it the real way and that makes them feel more confident? I dunno.

I think that to fall in love you need to know the person fully, and that does not happen when there's a screen between them.

So what if they're far away? Are you still not able to love because of that? It's like with age. Some people think you can be too young to fall in love. Why is that? Are you ever too young to feel?

Kakashi, you are so amazing! I idol you! *love, then remembers something a particular person said and looks back at kakashi* Pst, don't tell kira.....

But i totally agree! *cries* BUT WHY SO FAR AWAY!?! *cries again*

I agree with you there.

But I still think 14/15 is WAY to young to start feeling 'love'

Oh, good luck with your's Ves! even though it's not a relationship.....i don't see why she wouldn't go for you, you're so awesome!

It depends on you & it depends on the other person!
Me, I can't see the point in a long distance relationship. I'm very physical! But I have a long distance from my family so mentally it is okay. If you don't mind giving up the physical side of the relationship (and you can be sure your partner feels the same way) then go for it. But if you (or they) can't forget it!

Hm, I felt a little restricted to post on here a while ago but right now I feel able to reveal my true sentiments on the matter.

I think it's possible, but you have to consider; how far away is the person? How often can you see them? It's incredibly difficult to be successful if you can't see them often, or haven't ever met them. It would require a lot of effort and determination from both sides to make it work from a very large distance.

I've never had a long distance relationship, but am willing to try it, and make it work! That's determination people!
