Like Chemistry.You don't get that over the internet.
Commom interest and chemistry are 2 different things.

ofcourse it can happen. people are often{unless they have devious INTENTIONS} much more open on the net. usually being in person means you have an artificial persona, which is different from the real you. in quite a few aspects, that does not exist online and you can be more like you are when you are alone by yourself. you also have less conceptions of social "embarrasement" etc so its more natural and more topics are open for discussion. and it is easier to "communicate" as few or none can CUT in in your talks, nor do u have to look at expressions of others and change your stance likewise. the actualy CONTENT of the conveyed talk is giving more preferance online.
however, u cant really have a complete RELATIONSHIP without talking to people face to face and physically being with them, thats a fact.

Holy crap, AC and IR agreeing on something?
I'm siding with those two, though. Yes, you can meet people over the net, but you need to meet them to further the relationship. Vice versa.
I don't agree with this statement though before that said that you're different over the internet. I for one am no different on the net than I am in real life. And if you're different to who you are when you meet someone, how's that going to work? You can't make a relationship work PROPERLY if you're trying to fake who you are at the same time. You need to be yourself.

but who are people really, the way THEY see themselves or the way the WORLD{i.e. you} see them? it depends on perspective
