Are online relationships common in Japan?

[Brass]

It's nearly impossible to get a japanese girlfriend around here, I'd really have to luck out, so I will look online. Do japanese girls usually go for the long distance/online relationship with guys they chat with? I had a few japanese pen pals about half a year ago and all of them stated up front "no romance" in their profile before you even communicated with them. I respected their profile and never once tried to spark up any romantic talk with any of the women I talked to.

Are most japanese women like this or did I just have some bad luck on the penpal site I was on? I'm looking for a mostly online relationship and to visit japan maybe 1-2 times a year. Is this common?

For some odd reason, people on penpal sites are usually looking for penpals.

Perhaps you should join an online dating site?
