With any online conversation, there is the potential for a relationship to develop. In many cases, these relationships are long distance. There are many online relationships that are very successful. They are continued online for a period of time. If things go well, then both people will decide that they want to meet each other in person.

Oftentimes, they will have talked on the phone, via emails, the internet, and will also have possibly spent time on webcams spending time together and seeing each other. They have worked on developing a good relationship between each other. They will have gotten to know each other well and know quite a bit about the other person’s personality and character.

People tend to hide themselves behind their computers. You can only pretend and hide your true self from someone for so long before they will find out the true person that lies within. This is true in any type of a relationship. However, with a long distance relationship, it may be possible to get away with pretending for a longer period of time.

The person that you are spending time with is not there with you in your everyday life. You could be pursing other relationships without them knowing. You could also be putting on a front for the person that you are talking to. However, in time, you will have to show your true self. They will want to take the relationship further or something will come up to where they start finding out the truth.

It is best to be open and honest in any situation. If you are pursuing a long distance relationship, keep in mind that many are very successful. There are some that do not work out. This is usually due to actions of both people.

Some people just cannot handle the distance and want to have someone physically with them so bad. But, if you are willing and put your heart into it, you can have a successful long distance relationship and it could potentially turn into a situation where you spend the rest of your life with the person of your dreams once you meet each other.
