Heh, online dating. I've had a taste of it and in my opinion, it isn't the way to go. I could never have a online JJ2 girlfriend because I was too old for the majority of the lady jazzers. I think there was like one who was 18, I think I was 19 back then. But still, no luck.

Anyways this is aside from my point. I believe that looking online for a lasting relationship is like going into battle without a bullet proof vest. It is too weak and won't last. The internet connections constantly fail, causing problems. Lag makes communication slow. The only time you can see your online mate is when you are both online and in the same multiuser enviroment. They may be the same gender as you (this is even more likely if you are in a furry (jazz jackrabbit aside) multi user interface, and you are a guy (most people who play as females in furry places are actually men in RL.), a very large amount of time will have to be spent online to have a significant enough relationship. Finally, unless you or the person you are interested in is interested in travelling cross country and you have the money for that, seeing them in RL (real life) will be crazy. The chances of them living nearby are slim.

In rare cases online relationships work out. But that is only the rare cases.

But you probably won't listen. I know I didn't.

Oh, btw, if someone is unhappy because they don't have a relationship (thinking they need a relationship to be happy), I believe they have a thinking error. A (romantic) relationship has never been required for a full life, despite what the media tells us. Perhaps one has to search their own soul to find what they are trying to fill, perhaps even the God spot (a spot in everyone that only God can fill).

I'm thinking a little of past events, sorry about shooting that bit out of nowhere. The topic brouight up some thoughts and memories to my mind.

I'll leave you back to your discussion, and thanks very much for your time. Sometimes I feel I have so much to say, perhaps from much of my time spent saying nothing.

Personally I've just found online relationships to be not worth the effort.
