oh he good then
My boyfriend and i met online. We were friends for years and started dating, then met shortly after.
I got very lucky in my situation. Id say 90% of the time its a bad idea for a lot of reasons. Neither of us went looking for a relationship online, we just ended up talking and clicked.
While its pretty normal to meet online these days, a 100% online relationship isnt real. It cant exist that way. Ive practically met my boyfriends whole family at this point. While were long distance for now, we see each other as often as we can.
Even being as lucky as i am now, i would never purposefully go looking for a relationship online. I think my relationship is a special, very lucky case.
Woah, you're some lucky gal
Omgg congratulationsssz
I guess it really depends on the geographical distance and whether you two can be together IRL....while i think meeting people online could work, keeping that relationship online virtually has no chance of surviving... It's hard to even take a relationship online when you've never met your partner and on the off chance you two really got serious, not being together would lead to loneliness and that loneliness might lead to bitterness and ultimately end up making you two break apart.
Love itself isn't enough, it needs to be practical too.
damn right. its a 16 hour drive between the 2 of us.
were just really determined lol
Omgg..
Oof, I'm glad you two are in love enough (and probably also old and independent enough) to be able to meet each other
only a 3-4 hour flight tho luckily. i fly out as often as i can afford to
I would not survive that😭😭 it's soo expensive
despite all of this i would highly recommend against looking for love online. if u go into public spaces and put that out there, 99% of the time its gonna be creeps.
or scammers.
and once again we were friends for years first.
Or they lie about their age 💔
you guys are staright up rich
naw not really
i havent seen him january and im probably not going to until December
OMGG CANON EVENT
Whatt😭😭
were both really broke ngl 😔✊. i dont have any savings cuz it goes to travel lol
I thought yall meet up like once a month
😭😭😔😔
dude i wish
😭 they need to teach that stuff in schools bro
Idkk how many grown adults date minors without knowing 😭😭
i see him like 2-4 times a year probably. its hard taking time off work trying to work around school
I meant the other way around 😢 but both happens tbh
Ohh yeahh ofcc😭😔
What now bro? i think you mix them up or smt
You right though 14 year olds need to be locked out of their phone they get infatuated to old people for no reason at all 💔
What?
Frr😭😭 like what's so cool w big ass age gaps
It should be how many minors date grown-ass without knowing.
Both
Kids js find maturity to be safe tbh
Dare I say it's because parents neglect their kids 👀
Why do they feel safe w them??
too large age gap was just too creepy tbh
Honestly you right, even if a child THROWS themselves at an adult begging for love it's an adults duty to say no
idk maybe some unresolved issue
But I think banana is talking about cases when kids lie about being of legal age
Mommy/daddy issues-
And also the whole teenage idea that dating older people is cool
