online discussion vs. face to face discussion

so whats the difference between talking online and talking to someone face to face???
i feel that some people preffer to talk online because it's easier for them to say what theyhave to say. for example, say your talking to someone you have a crush on and you decide you want to tell them. it would be muuuuch easier to do it online just because you can't se them and they can't you. it saves you from actually having to see their face expressions (which can also be a bad thing), and they can't see yours. And if they don't feel the same way, it saves you from dealing with it in front of them, and it saves them the trouble from feeling really bad for rejecting you.
not being able to see their face expressions can also be a bad thing, just because you can never really tell if someone is telling the truth or not. this is a bad thing because you cant tell if that person on the other end is taking you serious.

when people are talking face to face, it makes them more voulnerable. just because theres no escaping your face expressions. actions speak louder than words, and once your actions are done it's done. theres no denying them. i personally think that talking face to face is better. i like being able to see how the person feels about a topic by there face expressions. and i like when people get to see mine too.

but it really just depends on the person and how comfortable they are talking about whatever it is there talking about. i say whatever makes you comfortable do it.as long as your getting your point across and you feel like its working then do it... =)
