As I said once before on here: If simple text on a screen can give someone an orgasm, then they should stay the hell away from a dictionary

It is actually very easy to find a mate on IRC, and have true love result from it. Some people tend to get so well acquainted with each other that they learn a lot about the person, and become very close. Many people find some great friends through the internet/IRC, and are end up like family. Just because it is text, does not mean it is impossible, its just very rare.

It's actually a lot easier in those virtual worlds (Second Life, There.com, etc..), as those have voice chat and you do get a bit closer with each other in virtual worlds.

No offense to you PingBad, but by your view, that would also be saying the same as, if simple text on a screen can make someone find a really good friend, as most of us have, I am sure, then they should stay the hell away from a dictionary as well.

8 years or so ago, I met a girl (somewhat by accident, many might say) and we traded contact info.... about 6 years ago, having lost all communication, i was going through my MSN list, and saw this person online - not remembering who she was, it begged the question "Who the hell are you?"

That got us talking again, and got her back on IRC where she hadn't been for a while, and 6 months later we decided to be a couple.

This was still in Feb 2003, where I was going into my last year of High School in New Zealand, she was halfway through her Junior year, so getting together wasn't going to work easily. Her friends tried at one point to support getting me there for prom Senior year... that was an epic fail from the beginning.

In 2005 she visited me and my family in New Zealand for a month, and in 2006 I visited her and her family, on returning from the 2006 trip, we decided airport goodbye's were making everything less worthwhile, but that we wanted to continue the relationship anyway, and the decision was made to start filing paperwork with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (who really aren't as bad as they're made out to be..) to get me moving to the US to live. As of April 2008 I left my contract position with Gen-i/Telecom New Zealand on the 16th, left New Zealand on the 18th, and was married on May 24th. Just waiting for a work permit from CIS...

My answer to the question is, you can find love anywhere honest communication can be had. If you're used to physical relationships, then long distance is going to be incredibly hard, as will it be if there are constant trust issues. Building a friendship over a few months is a good idea, before making a decision to be a couple. If it doesn't work, don't give up, and if it does work, you may find yourselves stronger for it, having spent so long doing little more than talking about each other, finding out more and more about personality and the way a person thinks, interests, favorites, etc.

so thats why I can't stalk you locally zeke Razz

As for my experiences online - 9 times out of 10 the results are far different (in a negative fashion) from the advertisements. As such, I have an instinctive distrust (and dislike) for any service designed to put lonely people together.
