I don't see any difference between over the Net or IRL. Really it's about just meeting people and spending time with them.

I think either way it doesn't matter... if you are dating someone its going to take time and effort... just more when its over the internet because you can't see or be with each other as often as you would like... i've had my share of *internet relationships* and whooo... they're a pain, yet they have so much to them *Shrugs* its just like any other relationship i guess... for now... i shouldn't care... just as long as i can get back in the swing of things... single for 8 months really hurts -.- maybe the time off has been good for me *shrugs*

^ It's bound to be in some regards. However, there are risks in dating IRL too that aren't present in online dating.

Online relationships are unstable for 2 major reasons. 1) You can't see the person everyday. And that means that you CAN see others everyday. By being in a "relationship" online you may find someone closer who you can like more, and you might not ever know if your "partner" has. 2) You don't know "know" the person, if you know what I mean. Not only is distance an obstacle, but you can't really form a physical relationship (as in sight, hearing, and some touching.)

Been in one for two and a half years and it's going splendidly.

But you live literally a country apart. I don't see how you two can carry on regularly.
