Long Distance Love - Can It Work?

By Benjie Suinggi


The Internet affects our life in ways that we are not aware of. You can buy and sell via the Internet, pay your bills, stay in touch with loved ones, and even find a date. The Internet has opened potential opportunities for a lot of people.

Many people are utilizing online dating sites more and more in wanting to date and meet new people. There are innumerable reasons for this. Some people do not have time to go out and meet people. Other people are shy and have a hard time approaching people. However, the fact remains that people are using online dating websites. Some of these sites are free and others charge a monthly membership fee.

Despite the popularity of online dating sites, it's not the only way to meet people online. Some have found a date using instant messengers and most recently, Facebook has gained prominence among people who are looking to find a date. Others have used chat rooms that are scattered around the Internet to meet new people. The possibilities are limitless.

Some of these are related to different lifestyles, age groups or other factors. Others are just based around general chat topics such as affiliate marketing. These can be great ways to connect and talk with other people. It also provides a way to meet people without having to worry about awkwardness or self confidence issues. There is much more freedom with online conversations.

Online conversations can ignite potential romance to develop. In a lot of cases, these romances are long distance. An online relationship can work out well and many people who initially started as online couples are now in a long-term relationship or are already married.

Often times, they will have talked on the phone, via emails, the internet, and will also have possibly spent time on webcams spending time together and seeing each other. They have worked on developing a good relationship between each other. They will have gotten to know each other well and know quite a bit about the other person's personality and character.

As a rule of thumb, do not hide behind the computer. You can only pretend and hide your true self from someone for so long before they will find out the true person that lies within. This is true in any type of a relationship. However, with a long distance relationship, it may be possible to get away with pretending for a longer period of time.
