Ive done it aswell met her from an mmorpg dated for a year and a half but it was cool. We boh thought it was time to move on so no hard feelings. Eversince then i think i might of have made a mistake but it was all for the better anyways.
Anyways i think looking for someone over the internet is for people who are busy with life and work that they rarely have time to hangout outside of his/her busy life. I used to think people who date over the internet are losers and dorks but then i realized that its just more of a convenient way to meet other people without sacrificing time that you dont really have.
