I have never been in a long-term relationship like this and I am curious...

How long would you be content to be in a long-term ,but online only relationship with someone?
I was thinking of a friend who has been for quite a few years now.
I don't think I would be able to handle something like that and wouldn't even want to try ,but it must work for some.

That is fine but for me I would eventually like a meet up at some point to see if we are compatible face to face. I had one many years ago but it didn't work out when we finally met. We just figured out we didn't gel too well

@urbancowboy
I'm just curious because of my friend they seem to be compatible and content with the way the relationship is.
I really wouldn't want that kind of relationship ,because it wouldn't seem real to me.
You can't really know a person unless you, I suppose, unless you really work at it,without meeting up is my thought process.
And I honestly wouldn't want to work at that hard like I have to call this person every day and try to figure them out
Of course, personally, I'm not looking for any type of romantic relationship.

@Justmeraeagain I get it. For some it may work out, for others it's s a crap shoot. True relationships are more valuable than gold and that is why I choose to be careful if that makes sense
