Abstract: As a new phenomenon, internet close relationship is different from face-to-face close relationship in establishment, maintenance and dissolution. Internet close relationship seems more perfect than face-to-face close relationship, but there are more emotional betrayals happening in internet close relationships. People who are more shy; who get high scores in attachment anxiousness; who are sexually-permissive; who are more sensitive than others and who are frustrated by the failure of personal relationship are prone to establish internet close relationship. The research on internet close relationship is still in its primary stage, thus, questions about how internet close relationship evolves over time and how internet close relationship transforms into face-to-face close relationship deserve further analysis

Key words: internet close relationship, self-disclosure, face-to-face close relationship
