No.

Did you ever engage in cyber sex?
No. CSEX is for nerds to get their rocks off, and to me is offensive. Well, there was once, but that was a buddy of mine trying to clear a chat channel when I was 16, and was really sick and disgusting, and hardly counts.

Did you ever tell someone only you loved them like that, and how many different people have u told that to online?
Nope, and 0.

Do you belive net relationships are for geeks and losers?
No, I believe 'net relationships' are a joke, and not for anyone.

Did you ever send naked or revealing pictures of urself online to others?
Nope, I wouldn't want to scare them.

Did you ever engage in phone sex with a person you met online?
No.

Are you in a net relationship now?
No.

Did a net relationship ever work out to the point that u didnt regret it at all?
No, when I was younger I tried, and realised the impersonality of it all, and that online relationships couldn't foster a love and understanding the way knowing someone face to face or in person can.

The ONLY thing that I think 'net relationships have going for them is that people communicate more. People aren't as afraid to be honest online because "hey, it's just a bunch of electrons, it's not a real person on the other end." A lot of people have that mentality, and maybe it's a good thing in a 'net relationship. A couple should talk and know all that they can about each other when they're in a relationship. I'm lucky to be able to do that without text, but with words. I know a lot of others are too scared/unwilling/hesitant to take that route, so an online relationship is an out.

I personally never take people seriously when they say they're in an online relationship. I've watched several of my younger friends try and have serious 'net relationships, and they always turn into an episode of some soap opera or another. It's quite melodramatic, and quite sickening to a rational-minded person. Or well, maybe just to me.

Now don't get me wrong, people meeting online, and then hooking up face to face is cool, because that shows you're both willing to commit to trying to take the relationship to the next level. It's when people have a relationship that starts and ends purely over the 'net that I think is stupid.
