Best Answer

it's questionable, to say the least.
there are a lot of pitfalls.
i received an email (spam) recently from one of those
" hi my name is venzyenza. i'm russian and i'm lonely
type deals. (jpeg included) normally i would just delete them and move on. but this time i decided, hey! why not play a prank on a friend of mine. he was actively involved in an online dating agency. - perfect target , right..! I wont bore you with the intricacies of my deception. though, 3 weeks later , there, he is telling everyone at work how he 's met this, fantastic person, and is thinking of emigrating. Between my personal fits of gut busting laughter and my friends new found love interest, i decided it was time to come clean. Again, wont bore you with the obvious discourse. suffice to say in just one week he had his bank account totally wiped out.
Russian mafia , they say...Word to the wise,
proceed with caution ...(::""::)

snarkbite	Posted Sep 16th, 2009 at 9:13AM I think distance makes things hard and this medium doesn't help...it is hard to gauge reactions, feelings and it is even easier to misunderstand them. I am sure it works out for some, but I bet that they have to put in more effort, they both have to do some chasing and they both would have to make the commitment to see it through to whatever fruition. Without that a relationship won't work no matter where you are! Rated: +2Vote for this!
