Internet Relationships!
I'm writing an ethnographic essay and I need some opinions. Before we begin, I'd like to make it clear that when I say "relationships" I mean all kinds, friendships, intimate ones, etc. So, what are your opinions on internet relationships? When do they work and when do they fail? What criteria must be met for one to succeed? How many people have you met on the internet, and of them, how many have become close friends? How would you compare an internet relationship to a real life one? Any and all input is appreciated, but please keep it clean and respectful :)

My Steam friends are usually a lot more important to me than irl ones. They understand me way better, allow me to be myself, also they don't care about my looks (well duh, they can't see me after all). I think I could say that 4 people I met on Steam could be called my best friends.

About... other kinds of relationships... well, no girl I met irl ever wanted to be with me, my feelings were always ignored, and here on Steam I found the one person that actually returned them.
I have to note, though, that the said person left me a few days ago without a word, so I can't say whether it works or it doesn't for sure.

I hope I helped.

I've met several people on the internet (mostly through games) that I have became close with, be it through a gaming community or even a mobile gaming app (mostly woman, har har) the most recent one is with a woman who plays Clash Royale (was recruited by her Clan, started chatting, found out she works by where I live) and I got the chance to spend time with her, we currently see each other once per week for lunch (success story)

But, that's a question? When you say "meet" are you talking about face to face or just met online and became close?

But, yeah I have met a handful of people that I got the chance to know for many years, I have a alot on them on LINE, Whatsapp, Hangouts, Skype, etc.

But, to answer your question, an online relationship/friendship is just like a RL one, It's basically built on trust, you also gotta understand just like in RL, you're not going to get along with everyone, everyone is different, when It comes to online stuff, some people are like open books while others are quite private. So you have to respect that, at a certain point you might have to back off, or know what to say to someone. That's one of the biggest difficulties one will struggle with because you can't see that persons facial expression, nor hear their tone through a screen.

Another thing is, since we all live in different parts of the world, we all have different customs, cultures, type of humor, etc.

Being on your best behavior is a key thing, cause this is what I've learned in all these years...

Some people might laugh at your humor while others will glare at you, so keep that in mind.

Hope this helps!

Don't flirt unless you intend to start something. It's disrespectful to the other person.
mmm yeah but its kinda hard to do when my group does it in general so thats like 20 people who ll act flirty just to be funny like before i got hired at my now ♥♥♥♥♥♥ job one of my school friends was there lol and came at me saying "hello there my big sexy chocolate man" and i just laughed nerviously but i didnt take it serious cuz i know he just said that to get a response

It's probbaly the way you present yourself, but more so It's what I mentioned, you're not going to get along with everyone, you might be fascinating to some while you might seem boring to others, It's a trial and error game.

I had close to 500 friends online but got too depressed from looking and keeping track of everything now I have more close relationships but only online cause real scares meh too much :/

well ive met such a lot of people online, i was always a shy kid an internet helped me a lot to improve my skills when talking with someone (not only internet but you understood), as Beaker said before, its like a real life relationship, if there is no trust/perseverance by the both parts the friendship will be a disaster.

you need to learn how to convive with different cultures, i mean, i had a friend who told me "jokes' that i never laughed about, but he though completely funny, its interesting because you have the chance to experience so many new things.

everyone is different, maybe it is why a lot of people cant do friends online, anyway you must know that you cant be friends with everyone, so if someone doesnt want to be your friend, dont insist, or you will be known as the most annoying person in the world.

for me, the internet made me met truly great friends, but i also had the unpleasure to meet nasty people. ones who where interested in my itens, or the harassment that i faced many times. i had good and bad experiences, some people who i want to protect and some i want distance.

to something works, it needs perseverance, the both parts need to want to have a relationship. as i said, anyone is different, try to learn how to deal with x person to have a great friendship.

Yep. Some odd reasons guys always think I am the coolest person ever in person. But girls nope.

Let me just say after getting hurt so much I said no more and bought my Adventure cape. As seen the picture.

I will be getting a longer one though.


Hmm maybe at the end of the day no one really likes me at all. And I just keep trying to tell myself people do. Who knows.

I have only had friends, nothing more than that because I don't feel I can give so much to a person that I have never seen; friends are somewhat different in that regard as I slowly start to see the real person under the internet through repeated interactions.

I also have friends that I only know online because where I am; people don't want someone like me to be their friend.

OP's true objective is to make a decision whether or not he should hit on his internet "friend" or not. Using the posters testimonies as motivation.
