Online relationships can be very significant and meaningful. Even the ones that end badly tend to be significant and meaningful. We all take away something from every person who we meet, no matter where we meet them, online, in the grocery store, at church, or the beach.
A very significant person in my life once told me with regards to online relationships...on the other side of that screen sits another human being with emotions and feelings just like you have. My relationship with that person ended badly, but in the words spoken to me, I found a pearl of wisdom that I have held in my heart since the moment it was given to me.
I think that all too often, we are too narrow minded about what is significant and or meaningful. To me, to bring a smile to someone's face or to send a hug to a hurting friend, even though it is online, to let them know that they are not alone, that they are loved and cared for, is a very significant and meaningful thing.
Now as for online love relationships...they are the same as any other love relatonship. There are those who will thrive and those who will wither. I think that its a lot about compatibility. I agree with SimplySweet where she talks about . What a wonderful addition to the online experience! We now have the means to see the other person's body language and hear their words in their own voices, full of intonation and inflection that is often lost in the written messages. We are entering a completely new way of meeting and connecting with people professionally, socially, and romantically that is unparalleled.
So true. On line relationships can bring so much to your life. Both ups and downs. I myself prefer the ups.
