Let me start with this BIG question, " Is it wrong to date on line?'' I met my present girl friend on-line and can say we had a very healthy relationship , untill we met.The distance helped us keep a check on our emotions, but we opened up so much and grew so attached, but as we met and got more attached, I found out that our relationship couldn't lead to a positive end, as she hails from a villa in Anambra where the first Daghter is not allowed to get married outside the community or outside the State. We are still friends, it's been difficult to accept the fate.[color=#000099][/color]

I'm sorry for your ill-fate. Very sad to hear, I'm sincerely sorry.

But like iice said, I don't think the on-line dating was the cause to your relationship failure. The only thing that could be bad about dating on-line, is meeting the person and not feeling same as on-line, or getting lesser attracted to their physical beauty or finding out that their behavious isnt anything to write home about or what you wanted (Cos it could be kind of difficult to express true behaviour totally on-line)

But your own downfall was caused by her origin, something i find difficult to understand why both of you didnt talk to that extent on-line if you were serrious about the whole thing

Just for the records too, the same coulda happened if it were a real life dating and the parties don't talk of the deeper  necessities that play a big role until much later when its too late, its being "on-line" had absolutely nothing to do with it hun, you can't lay your excuse there, you really can't!!!

i don't think you should give up like that, my mum's from anambra and a village where the first daughter is suppose to marry only from the village. but she is married to my dad who happens to come from akwa ibom state and they have been married for a long time, According to my dad it was not easy convincing her people to accept him. . but i guess true love always win.

^^^^^ I love this example, a knock-out convincer.
