What are the limitations of Virtual Relationships?

To my mind most of the time trouble break out when we treat this kind of relationship as perfectly real ones! What are your thoughts on this?

Not every time unless the person in question is fake or intentions are not right. Otherwise you can find some of them as real as in real life. I have a mixed bag.

Virtual relation is akin to pen friendship. Only thoughts or identity of views and likes/ dislikes matter. Apart from expression through net and sharing of photos/ images etc, nothing more is feasible. People should not trust on basis of net sites profiles and take any action based on that.

As long as it is at the virtual stage it does have its limitations and also one has to treat it that way, but when it goes to a different level altogether ,like when people meet each other then of course there is a chance for people to take it further..I have met a few people who were my online friends and we have become good friends now...however, one has to be very very cautious before proceeding further and be very sure ...

Obviously a virtual relationship in its very nature is restrictive and in the absence of any reliable means to know the true character of the persons we have been interacting, let us remember Ronald Reagan's quote 'Trust and verify'. What do you say? :ohmy:

Sincle I am a full time blogger and web designer, I have to talk to people online on a regular basis and infact have met many clients from US when they have come to India.

If the person is not faking it, then most of the time you will find the person as is as you met online. They may have some peculiar surprises for you like their eating habits, cell phone etiquette etc etc but since you are meeting for the first time most people ignore or let go.

And once you meet, the relationship does not remain virtual and you can decide your next course of action. But make sure you know a person 200% even before you decide to meet. Like Ceem quoted "Trsut and Verify". With online relationships you can take nothing at face value.

That says it all! Wise words,indeed! Thanks!

One can't know the intentions of a person in virtual relationships. :evil:

It's applicable in real relations too :evil: :evil: :evil:

Let me now answer to Ceemji's question, "What are the limitations of Virtual Relationships?"

Somedays before, you were absent in forum for more than 2 weeks and no one here knows anything about you. That's the main limitation of online relationship!!!! If it's a real one, we can find our friend easily.

Also, if someone has to part with this world, there is no method to tell his friends, I am leaving!!!!
Isn't it?

One can't know the intentions of a person in virtual relationships. :evil:

But there are more chances that you would know the intentions of people in offline life. :blink: :blink:

Virtual relation is akin to pen friendship. Only thoughts or identity of views and likes/ dislikes matter. Apart from expression through net and sharing of photos/ images etc, nothing more is feasible. People should not trust on basis of net sites profiles and take any action based on that.

I really liked the quote, "Pen relationship".
It's true, it's the modern version of Pen relationships.
Earlier we used real papers. Now we are using virtual/web pages. That's the only difference

I agree with this statement. I feel that virtual relationship is not real one and why should one like to make it real. For any relationship trust is important and if its lacking in virtual relationship better to stop it at that point itself.

That's true trust is required in every relationship.Relationship having no trust easily break anytime. :blink:

Virtual relationships is not trustworthy as in many cases the person may pretend to be having qualities and characters he/she may not be having in real. You cannot understand a person by just interacting with him/her online. Its a relationship with a weak base of which nothing more can be expected.

But many people are finding their life partners through virtual relationships and are successful too. Isn't it? :blush:

Sandhya that is only for a few cases that these relationships have been successful otherwise they always face an end that might be shocking at times. :evil:

I like the words which she expressed here. This is also the true. We must not believe the persons who are the friends of online.
