Worked well for me (knew girl for a number of years then decided to meet in '02, married in '04 but alot of travelling between then and so on) but both parties have to be into it and work extra hard, it isn't easy if you are a good distance away but it can work out. I was one of the lucky ones, going by a number of stories from mates. Internet relationships are common these days.

Being the romantic that I am, I think that they csn work.
Writing exercises a totally different part of the mind than speech. It's deeper, not as flippant. And it's fun.
Receiving a good eMail can set you smiling for a few days. A bad one can set you spinning.
It's very personal and private. And can be emotionally enriching. If it's honest. Brutally honest.
With cams and headphones it's easy these days to spent time with someone half a world away.
Far cheaper too, than going out on the lash, spending all those pennies on flash clothes, meals etc.
Save them up for a trip of a lifetime. And you'll have an excited friend waiting for you when you arrive.
Not physically satisfying, of course, until you can actually meet up.
Of course if your dreams and expectations are smashed, well that can happen anywhere.

Yeah, had one for a year and a half.At the start its brilliant have loads of things in common shared interests, enjoy each others personalities and time spent talking to each other but it gets frustrating.Not seeing the person you feel like you should be with it saps the enthusiasm you have for everything(well it did for me:().As time goes on some people change and she did to me and I guess I did to.I guess it's easier not to notice changes in a person when you are with them every day.It didn't work for me but I enjoy peoples stories of it working because they usually have somone perfect for them ,because it is based more on personalites which is key in any lasting relationship.

Its just a different way of meeting imo. For some time there seemed to be a stigma attached to it, but I dont believe this is the case any more.

I have friends who have met up with people, both stayed with / moved on.

Did they work out or fail?

They work out / fail no more or no less than if you start it out off-line. So long as both parties are being honest with the other, that would give things a good footing.

Obviously it depends who you meet but definetely good - my friend just got married last Tuesday to a lovely guy she met two years ago on the net, I myself am going out with someone I met on the net, I know loads of people who are very happy with people they met on the net - go for it !
