Do you consider it cheating if a person is having long term conversations, with more then one person, with the intent of meeting for a possible relationship?

yes I do consider it cheating, If you've found the one your with there should be no reason to be talking to other woman online with the intention of ever meeting.

I think it is.If u been in agreement that he or she is the one.And you find out they are talking with others it would tend to hurt the same.The difference being u are not one on one but your heart has reached out.

Agree with this advice. It would not be right.

If you have met in person and agreed that you are a couple, yes.

Yes, you can cheat online. Not saying you can't talk to people online, but it 1) shouldn't be a secret from your partner 2) should be clean/innocent and 3) it depends if there's any "meeting" possibilty. I got online friends, that are guys, I never met them but I known them 8 years. I was with my husband for 5 years, and yeah I did talk to these guys during our marriage, but I would let him sit and read my convos when he was with me, and when he was back online(we met online/long-distance) he trusted me.

How is that different from meeting in person (at work for example) and waiting for the opportune time to meet somewhere for a date?

Ok, I should probably fill out the scenario a bit better... you have not met, while you find yourself really enjoying your conversations and opening up more, sharing information and admitting that you miss each other if a few days go by without conversation, you have made it clear that you will not consider love or commitment until after you have met.

Not talking about if you are already in a real life relationship.

Then no it isn't cheating, since you made it clear there is no commitment until you met.

That would be called, intense flirting with possibilities.

I don't know that there is a big difference, would you consider that cheating, meeting someone at work and maybe someone from your softball team?

In my opinion, this scenario does not make any difference because the intent is there. You can only be faithful to your partner in full if there is no intention to be romantic with someone else. In this it is planned out which makes it worse

I like that... can I steal it?

i agree w/ gentlepaws

its cyber DATING
why would i get all wound up with one person?
been there done that had to burn the tshirt i was so embarrassed


takes a good while to get to know someone

s'posedly 90 days to someones full personality cycle

There are so many variable to this question.

If you have promised you will not consider love/commitment until you have met, it sounds pretty serious. But even then I don't feel innocent small talk would bewrong. If however you are discussing more serious stuff (sex, etc.) then I think it is unacceptable.

Leo knows.

you mean people discuss sex with people?
and it means 'something' ??

uhoooooh


i do that
but its a topic or a conversation

You may have it. But then I may want something in return.

Hate to put bird poop in the punch bowl, but relationships, in person or on-line are a toss up.
