No, i haven't had a relationship online and i dont envisage i ever would. personally i don't think i can get intimate with a person online, and show my feelings. i find it odd and fake that people do fall in love after a few chats online. i frequent a chat program quite regularly and always have contact with females, some i would call friends, and never once have i felt strong feelings for them that i want to tell them i am in love with them and want them to be my wife lol????? .

i think this phenomenon is rife in the middle east, with men who dont have a lot of female interactivity in their life and do not have the resources. we have to better our lives financially as we do in the west, so they use this medium (internet) as the best way to improve those 2 factors there lacking in.
