If you are in a long distance relationship and have been missing your partner, don’t fret. With communication getting easier day-by-day, the Internet is turning out to be a blessing for people involved in long distance relationships, shows a new survey.
According to the study, social networking websites have led to a boom in long-distance relationships. Some 14 per cent of people quizzed said they were dating a partner who lived miles away.
More than three-quarters of them said it was now far easier to enjoy a long-distance relationship – thanks to networking sites, videophone calls and text messaging. And 10 per cent of the 2,000 adults polled admitted dating people they met through dating or social websites.
One in four had begun a relationship over the net at some point. But telephone remains the most common way to stay in touch during a long-distance relationship. It was followed by text and email, the report found.
Love knows no boundaries...
...and the internet has certainly made this old adage come true. The World Wide Web has become the new meeting place for singles, who see social networking websites not just as the best place to keep in touch with friends but also to find their ‘special someone’.
Neha who works with a multinational company in Delhi says, “I really liked a guy when I was in school but I could never muster the courage to reveal my feelings. After eight years, I came across his profile on a social networking website and contacted him. It was only 3 months ago that I told him that I love him and now we are dating each other. It’s strange but had I not come across his profile on the internet I might never have been able to find him again.”
