Why can’t relationships that originate online remain online?

There is no moral responsibility actually.
As far as friendship is concerned.
Dating...is different. So the type needs to be clear.

Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to meeting some people from a very selective list. But of course, it would come with caution regardless.

In the end, it's a matter of agenda and hearts being in sync and how far you're willing to go to hold onto it.
Relationships online, while gratifying in its own sense, is something that can easily end or burst like a bubble. Why? Because humans are involved. :)

That's how I see it.

I tend to move my offline relationships to online…if they’re going really well. Then after six weeks I ask them to marry.
Not me necessarily, but someone online

Moral responsibility!

You have lost me there. </3

I don’t think it’s a moral responsibility, I don’t think anyone sees that as that. More like a common desire to extend the relationship to the “real world” , and obviously have physical intimacy.


But it’s an interesting question. I don’t think all online relationships need to go that route, it really depends on the couple and what they think it’s best for them. I knew someone who had a 10 year fully online relationship with someone that eventually came to an end. I could never do that.

It depends, rly.
Someone posted here that they met on SW and are now married partners.
So, 1 maybe 2. I guess.

didn't we meet online?

A moral responsibility?

There are no rules. You just have to start a relationship with someone who is on the same page as you.

Personally, I will never act like there's higher emotional investment from my part than there is before I actually meet them ever again because it would only be based on a fantasy. At this point I only want to bond with a real, full person with a body and personality that I can observe in real life situations, not my illusion of someone I based on parts they decided to show online.

they can.. there's no obligation but depends on the relationship .. if it's fishy or not to not do so

There are LOTS of men that are very much on this page, they never want to meet. Usually because they’re married or attached in someway. Their only interest is online.

This should be agreed on at the start before one of the parties involved develop an expectation that it could anything “real” offline.

They can remain online, all depends on what the two parties find mutually beneficial. But I get what you mean in the sense of feeling a need to “legitimize” the relationship as many are of the opinion that online relationships aren’t real unless you actually meet in person.

There isn't any obligation. You must just state your preferences if you want to be clear about your needs

For me, SW will always be online fun only.

As for irl I actually prefer to keep it online first then eventually meet. At least for now.

It depends on the conversation and vibes

It's not a moral responsibility or any kind of responsibility to meet anyone in real life from online. If it ever is, it's on a case by case basis.

Online just woundnt be enough for me personally.
Not be able to smell them, touch them.....nup, couldn't do it.🤷‍♀
