Online Dating Romances Last Longer

Online Dating Romances Last Longer

One would expect online romances to end more suddenly in the absence of immediate attraction, similar social networks and demographics.  Some studies have indicated however that the opposite is the case for online dating singles – singles who meet online like one another more!

McKenna, Green and Gleason 2003 also Bargh, McKenna and Fitzgerald 2003 both offered results showing that people who have reached the level of meeting and knowing each other well via an online concept, are not “blinded” by an initial attraction factor and as a result had more things in common. 
This may be because online dating permits the single to be discriminative and to finish relationships with unsuitable dates early on.

The success of a romance through online dating or meeting in person has been proven to be reliant on four main points:

Where the online dating couples meet – distant romances are less likely to succeed. Various job types and different financial matters also bode badly.

What the online dating couples do together – similar interests can bring people together and therefore the romance is more likely to last.

The amount of conversation singles have with each other when they are in a romantic partnership: taking a long period to get to know one another online before meeting in person and postponing sexual relations promotes longevity of relationships.

How communication is effected: Couples who learn to deal well with communication even when in dispute are likely to last longer. Online chat provides a medium that allows couples to become comfortable when communicating, even if disputes occur later when having already met face to face.

Tidwell and Wallis 2003 and Johnson 2002 produced statistical results showing that singles who meet online are more likely to offer personal details and emotions than those who met in person. This possibly goes along way to explaining the longer relationships outcome, but it is likely that factors like anonomynity would certainly play a part in online dating.

Online dating singles are usually ready for a long lasting relationship. Not wanting or not able to meet new singles in a night club environment they decide to take the search seriously. The available access of online dating services mean that online dating can be slotted in between TV shows, other activities with friends or when relaxing after work.  This non rushed, relaxed setting puts the online dater in a calm frame of mind, and this relaxing state of mind in turn makes them more attractive.

Lol. Awkward.

Don't get back with him. If he's left you twice before a piece of paper and ring isn't going to keep him from leaving.

You need a different outlook, of course the problem is, I don't know how to get you to adopt that different outlook. Obviously you can't go on doing what you're doing. You just can't. You have to do something else. If you continue to think the way you are thinking, and do the things you are doing, nothing will change.

I'm not sure what kind of drugs you were trying, but if the high only lasted 10 minutes, I'm guessing they weren't legal. I would imagine that doing drugs would only make things worse in the long run actually. Have you tried talking to a therapist? Have you tried exercise (which studies have shown to be more successful than drugs for helping depression)? If you haven't, I would try both of those – or if you can't afford the therapy, at least try and workout 5 days a week. And I don't mean walking at a comfortable pace for 30 minutes – that is bullsh*t. You need to sweat and push yourself. A little self-induced torture (in the form of exercise) may help take your mind off things, and help you feel powerful at the same time.

That was hardly ranting… He is only telling you his opinion like you asked..

I'm a 16yr vegan kid. Have been for only like 7months, was unaware of the horrible things done but once I looked into it, next day I was vegan lol and I feel great but my girlfriend who I've been with for nearly 1 year is typical meat eating person and I hate it in a way but you have to respect everyone's choices though I think a girl that can make a choice like been vegan or even vegetarian is a true sign of her having a heart and a brain with some will power. I think it's a real sign of morals plus I dunno why but I find it cute and a tiny bit sexy ha ha.

It Truly is hard to find a girl to share tofu with ha ha ha especially when your 16 and most of the people your age are to stupid to think for themselves and are constantly drunk/stoned.

This would be extremely fun to make. Hahaha.

trevathantimDecember 6th, 2009 at 3:10 am

you cant be serious, there is no way to know since they come and go, and give it up. That was years ago and its a moot point. Get on with life and forget it now.

Bad news: Long distance relationships such as yours (where distance is forced upon two people early in the relationships) make it really easy for two people to drift apart unless they're both committed to keeping it together. If somebody's only kinda committed, it's going to fail. I've been there. It sucks, I know.

Good news: I started dating my wife when we lived 250 miles away from each other. She was a friend from my hometown, where I happened to be when I was in town for work one week. Something happened, and next thing I know I found myself driving up every weekend to be with her. We kept the relationship together and eventually ended up getting married.

So keep your head up, you never know how things are going to work out.

OH GAWD THATS WRONG LOL

I think I just got raped…

Shelly MDecember 7th, 2009 at 6:25 am

The simple answer is : yes, be there, talk, and be supportive.

From what you tell, i`d say this guy is ' no good ' – and she really should try and separate herself from him.
Now, when she (thinks that she) loves him, this might not be easy.

For the long term, it will be better and healthier for her.

Age difference is secondary. His behaviour is wrong, hurtful and definately NOT that of a loving friend / boyfriend / partner.

What you can do, is spend some time with her, and go do ' girl things ' or something together. Take her mind of him.

I think it`s great that you want to help your friend, so good luck to you as well.

CuriosDecember 8th, 2009 at 12:36 am

Well what i can say is that handling a long distance relationship can be difficult unless she's cool with it. But the thing is, the girl said she doesn't like long distance relationships, so it means you have to think of a way that you can be there for her physically or whatever.

Maybe you can continue being her friend. There may be one day you can see her more in person if she will ever come around so when the opportunity comes around, you can seize that by catching her. That's when you will know that it is the time you do.

Don't hold your hope up yet. Just continue your friendship with her. If she doesn't come around, you get to look for a person like her, I guess, if she seems to be perfect for you as you said she is. There can be many girls that are like her.

Hope that helped.

Why not be friends and see how things develop? If you two agreed to break up, why are you asking the question now? Sit down and talk.

Dave DDecember 8th, 2009 at 3:40 pm

Sounds like she got her hooks in you and reeled you in big time! DON'T get involved with people you meet online!!
You should have pulled the plug as soon as she told you she was married.
This happens time and time again, people get warned and they do it anyway because they think their situation is different.
Your inner voice (gut feeling) is screaming at you and you're not even listening to that.
I'm not going to give you opinions on her……all you have to do is read what you wrote and her scheme is laid out in black and white. I'd rather give my opinion of you!!……WAKE UP!!!
