Is it an oxymoron? Is it possible to have a successful, healthy relationship by only communicating via email, Instant Messaging, phone, and webcams?
I'm a strong believer in the fact that physical intimacy is just as important as emotional and mental intimacy, and that it can be truly difficult to connect with someone when you can't see them face to face.
Not to mention its a lot easier to deceive someone when you don't know them in real life. For example, they can give out fake pictures, lie about their lifestyle, career, and even sexuality ease.
This is why I think most, if not all internet/long distance relationship are doomed to failure.
But others disagree.
What do you think?

Face to face communication makes up 70% of actual attraction. | |

Or at least that's how I saw it by what I read in the first post. So these are just opinions (mine is for what fits me better in my own life- I can't say what's best for anyone else). So maybe no need to prove anyone wrong, you just beg to differ? =P | |

But uh, romance? Boyfriends? WORDSEX?
I'd rather "date" someone I can physically see and touch, but perhaps that's just me.
