i have to say for the most part, i really don't care for "online" relationships.
The biggest problem i seem to have with them, constantly, is that if i happen to get even slightly miffed about something that my online partner has said or done, i have a much greater tendency to over react very strongly when the relationship is online.
Because i am never standing in front of my partner looking them in the face, i am much more likely to just blow up and write ridiculous, over-the-top phrases that i would probably never use to their face..unless maybe i was either very drunk, or ridiculously pissed off at them.
i'm not going to name anyone here, but just the other day i actually sent an email to a certain someone telling him i felt like i wanted to "smack him upside his ugly head."
Seriously, folks, i don't talk like that in real life. What the hell happens to my brain when i'm online?? Seriously, i don't know.
All i know is that communication is really better done face to face.
