Not just here on PC but any were online. Are you in a relationship with anyone on the net to were you feel like you like them as your boyfriend or girlfriend? Or do you just like them as an online (how shall I put this) an online sibling a brother or a sister?




I have a friend that I met on another site that I love like a brother I see him as the big brother I never had. He's only a couple years older then me. Best big brother I could ever ask for.

There are definitely people I could see as brothers/sisters of mine over the internet, but I'd find it a little odd to call them such. I guess I'd be okay with it, though, if anybody wanted to be online siblings. It's a pretty fun idea.

As for relationships, a lot of online couples don't last very long due to distance, but some of the most adorable couples I've seen are over the internet. I almost got into one with a certain individual who I cared very much for. However, we both understood why it couldn't happen.

TheKeybladeLord lives about 600 miles away from me, we met through mutual friends online.

We've been together for twenty months now, it'll be two years in March. <3

He stayed with me for a week this past summer, and will be staying with me for a week and a half over Christmas break.

I was in one once, it didn't last. I still care about her a lot, though, and we both still have sorta-kinda feelings for each other, I think. I don't think I really know what our relationship was, though. Our relationship didn't change after we broke up at all, and usually when people break up, they don't go on with their lives and interactions with each other as if nothing happened. I spoke to her about it that maybe we didn't consider eachother boyfriend and girlfriend to eachother, and instead were just really close and almost like brother and sister. She wasn't sure either, but we both agreed that it was strange how our relationship remained the same after we broke up. I can't help if I fall for someone online, but I'm not so sure I'd want to get in another one.

I don't think I frequent the Internet, well, frequently enough to be in any serious relationship with anyone. I don't see what's so bad about online relationships though. They're essentially the same as long distance yet are usually treated with more reluctance.

My first (and only) boyfriend was an online relationship for the remainder of our time together. He never visited me, while I had to visit him. We lived three hours from each other so it was a good thing that we lived on the same state. How it ended, however...it's really horrible.

quilzel, a member here on PC, was like a twin brother to me because we both liked the same exact interests. Sadly he doesn't come here anymore, but we still keep in touch. And I still consider him as my internet twin brother :3

One of my closest friends is an online friend. I wouldn't say he's a brother or anything, but he's definitely as close to me as a lot of my friends if not closer. Also my best friend in real life lives away from me pretty much all the time now so I don't see her nearly at all anymore, so she's basically an online friend. :( But my boyfriend is irl!

I have a lot of strong friendships with people online, so I would consider myself in an online relationship. Hell, I trust some of my online friends a lot more than a good majority of my offline friends.

As far as a romantic relationship with someone online, I don't think I could ever do it. I can't really do much for the romantic offline either, but I just don't personally see any intimacy in an online relationship. It's cool for the people that do. I think it takes a certain kind of person (which isn't a bad thing), but it's just not my thing.

No, I'm not in an online relationship with anyone. But I do have this crush, who I meet in real life, but we only talk online via chat and I don't know if that counts.

As for siblings, I think of MidnightShine as my big bro, and Hikari10 as my online sis. I don't know if they feel the same way, tho, but they're the closest friends I've got here.

I met my current boyfriend, Captain Fabio, here on PC years ago.. I always thought he was an attractive guy, though never expected anything to come from it since I was in a happy and committed relationship at the time with someone else online. We (my past and only other relationship) were in a long distance relationship for almost 3 years, but it didn't end up working out for personal reasons- however we are still very close friends and really care about each other which I am really happy about because he is a great guy. We met offline but it was very long distance and it was difficult. We tried to make it work as best we could, but alas, there were other reasons- and not the distance- to why it didn't work out. Still, I am happy I had that relationship even though it was online.

Anyways, I met Captain Fabio IRL this past May and I guess you could say we just hit it off really well. We're dating now and although we live a bit away (4ish hours) I do see him about every other weekend or so and it's been going good. I definitely don't want to ever lose him.

I don't really know if you could class that as an online relationship but.. hey.. whatever works right?

I was never in a relationship online but I wouldn't say I never will be. I try to just have friends online rather than relationship, but if I do happen to form a romantic relationship with someone one, I'd be ok with that.

As for online siblings, I have a lot of people online who I call brothers and sisters. A good amount of them are people I know in real life, but some I don't. And while so far I don't think I any online family on PC, I have some in other online communities.

-lights up cigarette-
Yeah, I was in an online relationship once. It went well for a while. We talked, we laughed, we shared good memories. We were in love. It was an easier time then.
-exhales cigarette smoke-
We met through the PokeCommunity. You know that place? A sleazy forum, full to the brim with Pokemon and the filth of the planet, all connected through the internet and their love for pixels. He called me up, I answered the call. Everything else is history.
-inhales more cigarette smoke-
But things went wrong over time. I disappeared for long periods of time, he did some things I can never forigve, we were over. We're still great friends, but never again lovers.
-exhales smoke in an O shape-
I don't think I could go through the stress of an online relationship again. Too painful.

I have had/do have some good friends online but it's not to the point that I would call them a sibling, I mean, I guess i'd be okay with it, but it would probably be pretty awkward. xl

As for the question regarding my willingness to draguer une femme online...
It's hard for me to open up to people, and because of that I tend to begin to push when anyone gets close (whether online or irl) and relationship-wise....if I love somebody,then I want to be able to embrace them,to hold them in my arms and let the world melt away...I think that an online relationship meant in a romantic way like that would be to formal so to speak.
I don hafta worry bout that tho! xP

I am not in an online relationship, but I met my girlfriend online; here in fact. *Points to Kura*

I never knew she liked me until a bit after we met up for the first time at an expo, which was a crazy, but amazing, surprise. I have had a 'crush' on her for a long time, so it feels amazing to be with her now and would like it to stay that way; which I think it will. :3 <3

I was in an online relationship 2 and a glad years or so ago, but it got too hard so I ended it.

I also had several online siblings, however we lost touch even though we are all still right there on our MSN and Facebook profiles so... I suppose for now I'm not in any online relationships.

I'm in one! I got together with him a month before he left... for two years. He'll be back August 2013, and we've emailed each other a bit since then and then after that we can eventually meet up :3

I'm not in one currently, but there is this one girl I've got my eye on. I'm not sure if she likes me too. I never actually wanted an ONLINE relationship, I would prefer one more closely, not that online means unreal. She's like a perfect match so far, I'm not sure whether she knows or not even though I throw very Very VERY obvious 'hints' If it did happen, though I doubt it would, sadly it'd be long-distance but whatever, do it for love I say. I know I might be a bit young but why let an opportunity get away? That's not something I'll do.

I have many online relationships - friends who I can't see face to face but whom I consider just as close as the friends I have in real life.

As for a romantic relationship, no. I used to be in an online relationship with our very own Hybrid Trainer, but that ended about a year ago now and I'm seeking out offline relationships where I can actually be physically affectionate and whatnot :)
