Many say "yes." en-us Mon, 21 Nov 2005 11:42:52 EST Mon, 21 Nov 2005 11:42:52 EST Weblog Editor 2.0 Online Relationships When it comes to online relationships, many people have their doubts. But there are a few people who are not only in online relationships, but they are in relationships that are actually working out for them. Online relationships are not for everyone, and those who are in them know what they are getting into beforehand. If you're the type who needs someone there with you around the clock, then maybe an online relationship is not the way to go. But if you don't mind a little distance and the entire Internet between you, then maybe you should try an online relationship. "I hated being set up on blind dates by all my friends and my parents. Everyday when I got home, there would be some sort of message for me, saying that someone has found the perfect person for me. It got to the point to where I was afraid to even pick up my phone. But I found a solution. I signed up for an online dating site and created a profile. I met this one person online and talked to them about my issue. They agreed to pretend we're in a relationship just to get my friends and parents off my case. We exchanged information, and every time I was confronted with another blind date, I would call my online pal up. But little by little, we started talking and I realized they were cooler than I expected. I don't usually believe in online relationships, but this person wasn't half bad. What was to stop me from dating them? Before long, we were in a relationship. It was crazy, because online relationships are not my thing. But this one seems to be working so far."
