Relationship Advice On The Internet?

OK, so already I'm being bad and not regularly posting =( sorry.

Anyway, today while i was hanging with friends i was compelled to ask myself this question: 'Why do we ask for relationship advice online?'

I know that to you all it seems pretty random, but trust me, it related to a conversation.

But in all seriousness, why is it that we (and by we i mean a large majority of the world's population) ask or search for that kind of advice online?

Is it because you usually can't get that kind of advice from your local library? Or maybe it's something deeper, like our own comfort zones.  Most people feel uncomfortable asking others for advice as it is, relationship advice is usually especially tricky. So do we ask 'randoms' on the Internet for advice, because it makes us feel more at ease?

Well i suppose that when you think about it, it's pretty much like a world of advice is waiting for you. You can come across answers for pretty much any romantic situation and even if you can't find the answer to your desired question. Then no need to worry, you can just plug it into some websites and you have thousands of people from all over the world waiting to give you their advice...or more likely personal opinion.

But i suppose the Internet is now an everyday thing, and i suppose it's easier for people to not have to be face-to-face when asking uncomfortable questions or when talking about taboo subjects. Don't get me wrong, i think that it's great that we can type in questions and have about 5 sites pop up that answers all of them. I myself have even asked a question or two. But what has compelled us to change or branch out from the old fashioned Girl-Chat about these kinds of things? Where we would sit around trying to be the next girls version of Dr. Phil and try to help everyone with their woes.

Are we all becoming too Internet based?

What are your thoughts? Do you think asking for relationship advice online is a good thing, or is it something that shouldn't be shared with the world of Internet users?

Until Next Time...
