If i didn't think so,i wouldn't be on here.Without trust you can't have a lasting relationship.

They are people ... just like those that you might encounter in your neighbourhood and you yourself sitting behind your own computer screen. So why wouldn't that be possible if you are both serious?

for me trust is 100% at first, and is maintained as you go deeper into the relationship.
good morning
good morning

Yes you can, if you're willing to take the time to get to know someone. Not saying you can or should trust everyone, but you'll never know unless you take the chance.

I say yes; I have friends who have very successful relationships that started online. I have also become friends with some really nice people that I have met in an online internment years ago.
I like to believe that with so many on the Internet today that there has to be more trustworthy than not, just have to keep your receptors sharpened.

Yes, one can, however, an LDR can be too much for some.

Meeting someone online is little different than meeting someone in real life, as far as trust goes. You don't automatically distrust everyone you meet online, just as you don't automatically distrust everyone you meet in real life. Trust is something we must all prove we are worthy of, no matter the situation.
Life experiences sometime make it difficult for us to trust anyone, but we must not allow ourselves to be hardened by life. If we keep building protective walls and don't give others a chance to prove themselves to us (whether good or bad), we will eventually find ourselves locked in a room with no doors or windows. And that prison will be one of our own creation.

I find myself not taking anything too seriousely untill I have met in person. Then trust and relationship can grow or not as you get to know each other.

I agree with that. I am sure there are trustworthy people online, but there are far more who are not. It is simply easier to hide, say a wife, online than in real life when you know where someone lives

You really have to get to know the person offline, its said that you never really know a person till you live with them,you have to remember that folks can say any old thing online

I agree with you on this....
With so many scammers and weirdos on dating sites, one must be somewhat cautious....it is the trusting people that are preyed upon

You can, as long as the basic is established (on line you gotta do what you gotta do – verify that they are indeed the person they say they are).
After that trust on line is no different than in RL - a statement about what otherwise is unknown – either because it's far away or is in the future, so it cannot be verified. You build it little piece by little piece over a period of time, until you feel confident in their reliance, honesty, fairness. Time comes when you feel at ease enabling this person to take advantage of your vulnerabilities, expecting that they will not do this. Congrats - trust is there.
But a very fragile thing this trust is. When it's betrayed and you can see clearly that it was betrayed not because of the lack of their competence, but was a very calculated act, the trust is gone, all at once. Can be very sad – same as in RL. No difference.
Good luck.
