Ziusudra: You make a valid point However, I think it takes more than fancy chat and endless email dialogue to warrant a relationship
Absolutely, a relationship encompasses so much more than shared emails for it to be considered a true relationship. I'm somewhat confused with the OP's topic heading because my idea of dating might be something different from what the OP is implying.

2intrigued: Exactly Jac.
I kinda think if all two people have is emailing and that improves their quality of life and brings them happiness, then who is anyone to say its not a real relationship, or not allowed?
If two people get to meet up at intervals and that improves their quality of life and makes them happy, who is anyone else to say its not a real relationship, or not allowed?
If you're lucky enough to find a spark, I advocate protecting it with both hands and feeding that flickering life, not stamping on it because it doesn't fit in with a conventional model of the way things 'ought' to be.

Of course, each relationship is unique to the two involved in it. Everyone's desires and expectations in a relationship differ greatly so it wouldn't be possible for someone to say what is right or wrong for others. People can only give an opinion on what would work for them. For me personally, if I find a spark, I want to nurture it, feed it, let it grow into something tangible if it's in the interests of both parties. There really is no right or wrong.
