Online Romances, do they work?

I would be very wary of anyone who tries to act affectionet on the Internet towards you. The reason being, you can't be sure of who that person is. I say that you need to put very little presure on the ice when it comes to this stuff.

Yes, they actually do.
As an add on to my death thread, the girl I met was actually from the internet. No, I am not an online pimp.

No romance works at all, they all fail in one way or another.

Romance is dead. Long live lust.

Perfection and Fifty, yes.
Rarely that is.
While I do feel that such an encounter is slim. I do say that it's not impossible to happen. Like I said before be very careful what you do when stuff happens. Otherwise you may get find out that you could find out the person is not who they say. It might rage form being a slight disappointment. Alternatively in the worst case event may end up with rape with a chance of death or an STD.

Do you have a profile on yahoo messenger CivGeneral?
I've just started mine yesterday and so far:
I've had 8 girls talk to me, they were real as evidence by webcams they weren't supermodels or anything but they were nice, personallity wise.
I've had 3 guys ask me if I was gay.I'm not but if you are you can explore that avenue.
I've made 1 girlfriend via messenger. So really I wasn't even trying.

That is why I made sure (Lots of parent talking with each other, but for the good)
Find my thread in page 2/3, long read, but worth it I suppose.
That's what we need. A negative attitude!
Come on CG, most people find romance sometime in their life.

I believe the Internet is a good way how to find someone with similar interests, someone mentally close to you. But you have to have the courage to make the next step in such relationship.
People who meet on the Internet often live too far from each other, which makes a serious relationship impossible. Also you have to deal with the reality. Everyone tends to present the bright side of himself and hide his flaws. This comes out when you actually meet the other person. Suddenly, you're not the funny genius you pretend to be on the Net, but just an average man/women. You have to make a good impression, which is kinda hard without keyboard

As much of a proponent I am of technology, I'm still weirded out by the idea of starting an entire relationship with somebody online that you have never met. I like seeing people and being able to talk to them one on one before anything else.
I'm biased. One of my best friends married (quite happily) someone she met online who lived in the States. And he's a pretty good fellow! It's the only online relationship I know of, though ... so I'm not the one to ask.
