Do you think online relationships are healthy?

Question

I mean as in being in an online relationship for a long period of time with someone without seeing them. Should you stay with this type of relationship knowing there is that possibility you'll never see one another or stop it and start a real relationship with a person you'll meet in real life? When I say healthy I mean should you keep telling yourself that you might meet and continue getting more and more attached, or say he doesn't know what'll happen and move on? Healthy as in getting dependent and attached to something you might never have. Something along those lines.

Answer

Have you seen catfish lol

Answer

It's a fantasy and living as if a fantasy were real is not in any way healthy. Trust me in the past every person I thought I knew online was completely different in person even the ones I didn't think would be. If your very serious you need to meet soon and decide what you want as a couple or if you can't meet it's time to move on and call it quits. This is both mentally and emotionally unhealthy if you keep it going without any real in person connection.

Answer

Hellllllllll no!!
#this is why catfish was created

Answer

Online relationships are pretty much not reality. I did online dating. It's how I met my husband. But I didn't mess around. If I'm interested you are either going to meet me within a few weeks of emailing or that's it. I refused to be taken on a ride of hopes and dreams about this "perfect" person when in reality it's a different story. You don't even know for sure if they are who they say they are.

Answer

I met my husband online. We met in person in public first. He was in Texas and I was in vermont. Long distance 5 month, now together almost 3 years married almost 2. Best decision of my life.
