At first I thought it was impossible to fall in love over the internet. People just love the idea of not having to be completely committed. They could just leave whenever something goes wrong and never have to be bothered again. I avoided it at all cost.
I met the love of my life over an acne forum, we were so depressed and suicidal, but we kept each other going. That went on for 2 years as we got progressively better. He eventually confessed his feelings for me and now we're inseparable. We met up, had crazy sex, and we're moving in together in October.
I think online dating can work, but it's not always what you expect. The person can end up being completely different when you meet (and I always hear about this).

Go for it girl. It's you're life. I'm not stopping you. Just remember to always be precisely what your looking for.
