Do I dare do another online relationship?

Many of you know me, and also knew the person from EP/SW that I had a relationship for well over 7 years or so. You know that we talked online 7 nights a week 5-6 hours straight unless he had a hospital app't, a horse show, or travel to Italy for a couple of days.

You also know he was "straight" but claimed he had a "bend" where I could fit nicely. It wasn't just a physical love ( Although we talked about how to work that out in a sensible way) Those who knew us both knew our love was on so many different planes not just the physical. A perfect Pisces/Virgo match. So completely able to "read" each other, make each other laugh, and rarely cry. It was as much "Spiritual" as physical. Unfortunately, months before our marriage, his genetic brain tumor got him and he died. He wrote me the day before and stressed, My happiness is the most important thing. Above all else he wants me happy.

I don't really believe in online relationships. I think we were the odd exception. Without prejudice of my sexual preference, What is your honest impression? The current one is cute, but we hardly know each other and to be honest. I'M AFRAID. TOTALLY AFRAID!

I’m pretty much a born cynic and skeptical of everything, so frame my opinion accordingly. My skepticism would include online relationships unless it were just an entrée with the goal of meeting and making it happen IRL.

@SW-User Hate to say this, and don't remember if you knew Joseph84, but I had to laugh at your observations. He was the ultimate practical Virgo and he would have said. EXACTLY THE SAME THING!

Right now, somewhere, somehow, Joseph is laughing his ass off once more at my expense. (However, it really was an "Entree") it was the premature death that stopped it.
