Yes,I can understand being able to chat thoroughly and start a kind of relationship on here and anywhere on the net that could be called a friendship. My point though, which I think you understood, was that it would be a very different kind of relationship. It would be based purely on anything and evrything that can be communicated on the internet, a place where people can pretty much be anyone they like (Not that I'm suggesting they are being people other than they are.) After all, on here I could pretend I was amazingly good looking and wealthy which I am not!

I was just suggesting that they should not think of themsleves, or announce themelves as a couple til they have proved it works in real life. At the moment, until they meet, they are thinking abouty the possibilities of starting a real life relationship, not in one. When me and my girlfriend got together, we had known each other for 11 years, we decided to give a relationship a go and waited about a week before telling anyone incase it didn't work.... do you see where I'm coming from? I hope so. Anyway, I think itn a way it's quite cool, proves the merits of the net once again, that two people who porbably would never have met are considering starting something! cooL!
