I currently have a long distance relationship, however we didn't meet on a game. We met when we both signed up to be an admin for a popular page on Facebook and have known eachother for over half a year now. She's an amazing person and I'm happy that the internet was able to bring us together ^^ We call eachother (Regular and face chat) daily and I couldn't have asked for more <3

But yes, when someone openly says "Needs girlfriend/boyfriend" or something like that, then it is a child. It's not a serious relationship, they just want someone to brag about. So it depends on the person when it comes to the internet.

Everyone's experience is different. Personally I've been dating someone from tfm since 2013 but since it's more of my personal life i wont go into that much more.

With that said, from what i see most of the time on the game is the "I need a bf/gf" but other than that, they don't give actual answers as to why. Which pretty much tells me "I need so and so because it'll make me more popular" or something of that sort. Most of these people are kids, and don't exactly understand what comes with a relationship and of course that leads to a 1-7 day "relationships" and then they are back out there spamming the chats.

So personally I think it's a stupid thing to go for, unless that person is truly special to you. However as others have mentioned, they could be lying to you anyway.

Honestly it's a mess, but when you have such big communities its expected. As a last note to people, please be careful out there, don't give out personal info to anyone online or for that matter any money either, it happens a lot in games like this. Chose your peeps carefully : )

ES and BR people.
That's all I have to say.

the majority of them LMAO, i cant disagree.

honestly, distanced relationships are so cute but just..you cant touch/kiss or hug them, thats sad... but you just can imagine it (mostly) you just wanna kiss/hug/touch them irl.

Many people stand on opposite sides of this issue - some think that long-distance relationships are stupid, and others vehemently defend them and find these comments offensive.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

You can absolutely develop real feelings for someone that you've met online and have never met with in person. However, even if you can see and hear them via Skype calls, there are some fundamental things missing in long-distance relationships that even the best technology cannot substitute.

Honestly, most people just feel the need to HAVE a bf/gf just because maybe they haven't had one before and want to experience it. With that in mind, I do actually find 13 year olds spamming in village "NEED BF/GF" and when they meet their counterparts, they say "hi, how r u?" "gd u" "yh im gd". To me, most of these "relationships", especially on tfm, are tasteless.

Just like photos, Skype calls don't show people exact face, body and other aspects people actually usually do care about. So while I feel like some are serious, some of those will not work out for that reason along with not being able to see them really unless you actually go. Along with most, I think it's more so of kids on here who want to just "date" someone. Usually people under 18 do this and others above this age either stop playing for various reasons or continue but have more people in their life because of work/college so dating online is really no longer needed.

I'm not defending the people that spam constantly about a bf or gf, but It happens in animal jam all the time so why not!? I have to be honest, when I played animal jam a lot random members would think I was a boy and would spam me about loving them, also a new jammer came into my den and said "Lock den for privacy" But really, online dating is kind of weird to me. You don't even know their actual personality, anyone can fake easily if they know how.

I mostly see "looking for soulmate"or "WANTS GF/BF" like the first one "looking for soulmate" i sometimes see on the cafe like you know you can find people in village1 or room 801 i guess..

Room 801 is mostly empty ever since village was made. I've always missed 801...

I'm 12 and I've dating a 20 years guy from Sweden... We still dating

I think it's fine, though I met my bf through maplestory not TFM. We actually did care about each other at the time and still do, separated by many miles across a couple countries. We met about 6 years ago, and he chose to visit me in real life 3 years ago. After that,he decided to move to Canada in the same city as me, and now I get to see him everyday :3

That aside long distance relationships can be risky. But with all things that are risky (like stock markets), high risk can also mean high reward. I found that long distance relationships,even long distance friendships, develop faster than in real life relationships because you can't see the other person. That means you solely focus on the other person's personality, what they say, how they react to situations, as opposed to focusing on their face and how they dress up. You also connect faster cause if you're already a gamer (even a casual one), that means you use the internet a lot. Since people are using the internet more often now, we can respond to messages more often and be in contact with one another more often as well.

No fk that sh*t honestly

I met my husband on Xbox Live back in 2011.

We were separated until 2016, and now we happily live together. :)

I'm also attending a wedding next month for two players who met on Transformice back in 2011 as well. ^-^ She barely moved to the states last month to permanently be with him.~

It works if you are willing to be honest, true to each other, and work hard for it.

To be honest long distance relationships are fine because I always learn something from them even if It ends with tears and there are fights here n there, but It’s the time that counts. Anyways I’m not into that anymore and I’m basically just focusing on this person irl♡ And I’m also not able to date online when my self esteem is a bit low but I’m trying to get better step by step.
