Cyber Relationships
With so many dating and other sites/forums mushrooming on the web these days where one can meet people from all over has seen an unprecedented growth in cyber relationships, often culminating into actual physical relationships.
Is it okay to have such kind of a romantic relationship. Would it not be cheating on your existing partner? or is it a new form of flirting since u know u r not going to actually meet him/her ever.
Your worthy opinion would be appreciated.
Me too can see ur pic .. it's better than the fruits i guess .. i've tried many times to change my avatar but it didn't changed .. didn't know that it might be appearing to the others while i can't see it ..
enjoy ur new avatar ..

Security issues: Most of the times the woman you cyberflirt will actually be a man. And sometimes you may actually end up in trouble, if you don't guard your identity properly.
Coming to the moral/ethical issues, I think it is fine as long as your spouse or family bond is not affected in any way, which varies from family to family. The easiest way will be to ask this question yourself:
If I tell disclose it to my spouse what will be the reaction?
If the answer is 'it won't bode well for the family bond' then you probably should not do.
and married too.....happily lol.
I feely that most of us have had a cyber fling in the past.......just wanted to discuss it. Thats all
You always come up with some mischievous topics. Like the one stopping woman from entering the post. Naughty big boy, are you ?
Having a cyber relationship varies in a certain extent. For example, you both know that there is no possibility of meeting (living in a far country) so I think its tolerable because there will be no physical contact to develop into a more serious relation.
Deciding to meet each other is very risky. 3 things you have to keep in mind: 1. that you can trust both parties 2. that both are ready to face the consequences and 3. never fall in love when you are already in a relationship... this is quite hard I know because it all comes the cheating.
I define cheating: it is.. when you involves your heart!!!

Considering the fact that this thread as far as I understand is based more on speculation, I am surprised at some of the answers.
What is exactly the truth?
What does it mean to have inhibitions towards the partner?
Does this mean don't dare suggest things to a partner that are dared to be suggested to the cyber partner?
Hmm interesting, because that is what is sounds like to me. Or is that the culture prevents from talking or suggesting something to the partner against that of the cyber partner.
Most people don't know anything about the cyber partner exactly, and may later find out that this cyber person is not who he/she said he/she was.
the pic is in the approval process. But some of u c it and some dont. Beats me.
Unfortunately, I have to collect my cheque from him. There, I have said enough. My point is - if seemingly harmless pun is hurting your partner don't indulge in it.
lara123 : Such posts make me scream 'WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE !!!!"

Same happened to me too in that very thread. Somebody mentioned I am 'mrs.' NO I am not 'mrs.' and actually your post is now on page 6. I thought Qatari didn’t allow a thread to run after 6 pages but this thread is now running on 7th page on the new server.
Amigo66! Sorry for the hijack. I’m out.
I like the new pic :)

The avatar ... Is'nt tht u ??!! Am i the only 1 who sees it ?!!!
apply some empathy here. Put yourself in your partners shoes and try to 'feel' what they would feel should you come across them doing just this.. flirting with another person on the net. Does it feel nice? If the answer is no, then that's your answer...
~ your thoughts create your reality ~
but its not on my avatar. Where di u see my pic mate?
Is a badism so you better do it quitism

Is there a connection to u posting this and then putting up ur pic for all to see ???? hehehe
You can never quanlify such cyber relationship a “romantic” one…its not real, and a given fact that since you are not seeing each other, great chances that you are not telling each other your true feelings…purely pretentions..
IMHO, it is cheating while you already have a real partner with you…people who go for this kind of relationship are not secured with the one they are having…very unfair to your partner…

wicked man with wicked thoughts. Certainly I go there for some official work.
lara123 i have no idea what you are talking about. Somebody mentioned I am 'mrs.' to which I have already replied. If that is what you are implying NO I am not 'mrs.'.
Thought I saw your reply post in another thread about impersonating as somebody else? But before I could read it, it was not there after a page refresh. Deleted?
Well, to me all this cybersex, phone sex is cheating.
I know ppl who are married/in a relationship and are really addicted to the chatting, web cams, cybersex...that ain't right.
Is it cheating to me all the way.
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
how can they do that...........must have told u that the project on which u r assigned is a female(single minded horny boyz)....:)
what r u doing in his room at the very first place???
i had to cancel the vacatiand return as i got some prject assigned.Check the post: http://www.qatarliving.com/node/34388
wrong in fun flirting though. ;-) (wink and wicked smile there). A colleague(at manager level)sometimes hand over the phone to me when his wife calls whislt whispering loudly 'tell her i am not there'. Poor girl thinks some hanky panky is going on. I despise such attitude where spouse are hurt.
hey buddy! enjoying ur vacation? May b I am not that lucky after all:(
People r very hesitant to give their point of view when it comes to cyber. Any reasons ? Do they still feel it is unnatural or what?
Now what are you upto???I could not go through thereplies,so forgive me if my reply is not connected.But man you always invite trouble..I like that
So who are you dating this time??Is it some latin chick???
becoz ur friendship or romance has grown and if one of the partner decides to visit the other u simply cant say no. and if he/she is physically attractive also then u r risking many things.
urge to meet the person might lead to some other urge later. Are you prepared to risk your spouse happiness ?
You don't tell ur partener every time u do so .. but let him know that u r doing this from time to time .. I prefer to tell my partener .. and i did .. she considered it as cheating .. so she left me .. but yet another time i told my partener that i'm doing so and so .. and she accepted it ..
Hiding is a kind of a lie .. and i hate to lie ..
and i prefer that if my partener is watching any porn that she tell me .. wheather i'm going to accept it or not that's not the point (cuz i won't) but her frankness would be appreciated ..

Well you should resist that urge. If you meet in really life you'll quickly develop inhibitions with them to.

u share many things on the net with your cyber partner which u can not share face to face with your real partner(bcoz of inhabitions).One way or the other ur bound to have an urge to meet that person.....
u inquisitive bug...yes she is a female.........lol. Now please keep the thread focussed on the topic.
I don't know. Do you in form your spouse everytime you watch some porn on the net or read a dirty book? Personally I wouldn't because it would be embarrasing, not because I would feel like it was cheating.

do u feel u can tell ur partner about it. If u can then I think it is not cheating.......if u dont tell him as he may not approve of it then it is wrong.

My personal view and I view Cyber sex being the same.
However judging by the high numbers of HIV infections being transmitted over many countries many seem to think that infidelity has no consequences.
LOL male or female friend any 1 i know hehehhehhehe
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
Yup. I don't see it as any different then reading an erotic novel or watching porn. We don't consider doing those things cheating do we?
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
cyber sex as harmless too?? :))
heck no buddy..........lol
Actually last evening I was having a friendly chat with a friend of mine and this topic came up and we decided to float it on QL.
appalled at how people change faces at QL. Who can vouch for their authenticity.
however some people dont consider these relationships as harmful. I feel one way or the other you are bound to get involved with the other person no matter how far away he/she is.
Fidelity is overrated. There's nothing wrong with harmless flirtation.

opinion it would be naive. One is always in doubt about the genuineness of cyber friends. Would you indulge in romance with a person same sex as yours ? (Considering one is straight). That is repulsive.
Canarybird is RED POPE now.................
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
It is cheating in any case.
Just thinking about having a romatic prospect with another woman/man online, offline, body or mind whatever is just plain cheating.
Whether it is a husband, a wife or a fiancee, where has fidelity gone to nowadays???
I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you never meet the person.

It looks more like u have already commited himself n only needs us to say its OK so u wont feel guilty
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
u never know.........at my age u cant afford to have a real one.......lol
I have a triple century of points under my belt.....
Sounds Like ur thinking about some prospects :)
