EoFF cursed?

**SomethingBig** · 09-13-2005, 04:14 AM

I was wondering where Iri went.

It's not EoFF; it's you guys(no offense). You joined EoFF within a few days of Iri and how long did it take for you to get to know her, then start "dating" her? Do you live in the same country as her? I think the male EoFFers who look for their girlfriends on this site decide, "OMFG FEMALE GAMER 4TW HOT DATE NOW!" instead of, "Let's see, where do I live in comparison of this person? Should I get to know her first? I mean it will be a long-distance, internet relationship which will take LOTS of time and effort." You guys don't take into consideration the hard work an online, long-distance relationship needs.

By the way, smittenkitten and apollo are 15 year olds.

So was I, actually. Where'd she go?

She left. That's all I'm gonna say.

If we had decided to make a romantic relationship out of it, it wouldn't have been an internet relationship, just a temporarily-long-distance relationship. Now, though it's not what I wanted, we ended up just becoming friends, and even if went somewhere else and couldn't talk to her but online, it still wouldn't be a simple "online relationship". Online relationship rarely work, because of the lack of (for lack of a better term) closeness. There's trust, physical contact, plenty of things that you don't have except in a "real" relationship.

In Iraq?

Fail.

If Eoff is cursed in terms of relationships falling apart, then real life is DOOOOOOMED!!

Sorry guys but I am cabbege. Can someone please clear this up for me? These online relationships, do they just consist of people talking on line and then 'going out' but never seeing each other EVER because they live in different countries etc???? No thanks, personally.

There is no "going out" in an online relationship. There is however the feeling of commitment and attachment. Like I said earlier, sometimes, for some people, it is enough to just have someone out there that cares to tide you over. And its not always never ever. Like I said, they NEED to meet... eventually.

Erik and Moomba lasted for quite a while. I haven't seen Erik for ages.

Also you're a dope, lots have lasted longer than a week or a month. Start following relationships that don't concern newbies.

She had registered at EoFF long before I joined FFL, but in truth, it's on Bastardly Prod.'s boards we talked the most.
Also, we had our 2nd wedding anniversary last month.

No offence to the individuals, but I both didn't know about the relationships you stated and, reading at least one name out of each of the three examples, am not surprised they didn't last.

A couple is made up of two individuals, and unless both are capable of holding together a serious view on the relationship, it will collapse.

My relationships that started at EoFF have lasted seven months, four days, thirteen-fourteen months, three months and three months. Of the four that were serious enough, I only actually met two of them.

People can work online relationships into offline relationships if they have the right kind of mind and heart for it - and of course for their partner. If they don't, they won't, and that's that.

I've always wondered how online relationships work when the people get together.

I mean, how do they get used to such primitive forms of communication as touch and speech?

Do they spend the first few months in different rooms talking to each other on computers, or just leave notes around for each other?
