What do you think of online relationships? They don`t have to be love relationships, they could also be friendship or pen pal-sort. Do you approve or no? Pros and cons?

friendship, pen pal sorts are ok. no to all romance ones.
sometimes it's great talking to people who have the same interests as you especially when your friends don't. It's also nice to talk to people outside your age group.

Love online is not infallible! *what's that?!!!I hear so many hearts breaking!*
I value friendships online and offline. There are different criteria I go by for each relationship.
I can say anything to online friends (things that can come from the heart, and deeper) because basically, I'm chatting to myself on the PC screen, and get a nameless, faceless reply in return that may or may not feed my ego. For I'm almost sure the replies are not the ones that sought to please me or to batter me personally. They reply according to how I express my words. There are no physical cues to hinder me or them from voicing our opinions, so most of the times why bother sugar coating them, afterall, honesty is what I (hopefully, we) sought.
Now, real life true friends are rare, especially those whom you can say anything without the risk of offending. We need to process physical cues and often fail to respond more fully to the words being said, and also often times those cues interfere with the replies. So, real life friendships suffer a greater disadvantage because the demands and expectations are greater.
If your real life friend is your online friend, then the friendship might endure.
However, there are many relationships I know of or heard of that did not last long offline. Most of the times, the problem stemmed from lack of communications and sociable differences. Online friends becoming offline relationships is a fragile step that requires lots of patching. Most couples failed to remember how they clicked before they met. Some of the cases may be that the parties were not honest enough with each other. They need to get past the "impress-each-other" barrier to reach a better understanding through honesty.

Online relationships, for me.
Is all friends and nothing else, i keep it that simple. No love or anything. My mom keeps an eye on me as well. Because, if you get into all that love stuff online, you don't know who the opposite person is and its dangerous. I mean you hear it all over the news.

It's very relative to different cases. Many people lives happily end up with their online mate, but others break up. I and my sister both married our online love. She's happy and I'm not. Online or not, make sure you really know your partner.
