In the strict sense of the word it is, because you are relating to each other, on whatever level.

I am inclined to say no..
but you never know, sometimes two people are meant to be together.
it all depends on themselves.

Sure.
It depends on your definition of a relationship. I have many online 'friends'. Not a single one can pop round for a coffee, but I still class some as friends.
I have been 'emotionally' involved with someone I never met, and was as committed as if we HAD met. Inasmuch as I'd not have looked elsewhere during that time.
I don't think you can 'fall in love', but I DO believe that you can experience feelings that could be considered close to that. For me, it's that look in the eyes and that first hug that will tell me whether I could love this person or not. And THAT cannot be achieved online.

Why feel stupid? You were happy, you had hopes, you made a few mental plans and thigs were positive!
ANYTHING that makes you smile is a good thing.

Johnwain: there can be a strong spiritual/emotional connection but I would not call it relationship ....
either way ,you make virtual friends, people with whom you feel comfortable to talk to ,share your secrets ,discuss about things you don`t discuss with your real friends ...

In total agreement. Though I do find it very easy to talk, may be saying things that I may would never say face to face in such a short time. Is it because I feel protected in cyberspace?

for me its ideal to make friends esp far away but i would not go beyond friendship without meeting face to face and that's one of the reasons why I dont date here...::beer:

I had a guty I met on here and he wanted a long distance relationship. I was not allowed to chat to anyone else. Not a relationship in my eye but it was in his. over 3,000 miles does not a relationship make

I'm chatting and getting on really well with someone close by. And if we did meet up there is a lttle fear in me that I may be dissapointed in entering into the real world relationship.
The magic of the cyberspace relationship may be broken!

I met a guy on here in July and we have been corresponding through the site as well as by phone daily. I feel more comfortable talking to him and have shared things with him that I wouldn't have shared with others. We have talked about meeting up but I don't want to spoil what have with this guy. We are not sure what we would call ourselves friends/acquaintances???
Even though it is not a relationship we have definitely formed an emotional bond which I will treasure for a long time.
