Internet relationships can work if the couple is committed to making it work. An Internet relationship is nearly identical to a long distance relationship, and there are many couples whom are proof that love can overcome the distance. If you think you have found a great person online, the hardships of having an Internet relationship may be worth it.
How to Make Internet Relationships Work
Communication
All relationships need communication in order to last. This is especially true for Internet relationships. In fact, communication is all that some Internet couples have since they are unable to spend time together in-person like traditional couples.
The great thing about this, however, is that the couple will quickly determine if they enjoy talking together. On a normal date, you may be blind to the lack of intellectual and emotional compatibility if you are physically attracted to your partner. When all you can do with each other is talk, you'll know for certain if the two of you share a connection.
This creates a communication and emotional base to the relationship that can be lacking from traditional relationships. If the two of you transition from Internet to in-person couple, you'll have the potential to be a very emotionally connected couple.
Use the Phone
Since Internet couples often start communicating by e-mail and instant messages, there is a tendency to continue relying on these communication methods. Writing to each other has its place, but you'll enjoy the relationship more if you use the phone as well. Hearing each other's voice just can't be replaced by typing emoticons.
