A friend of mine met his wife on an old BBS, her screen name was Jello, because she likes jello, he thought his (he thought she was a guy at first) screen name was because (s)he liked Jello Biafra. They met after more than a year later and he was surprised to meet a pretty girl. It was, as they say, "Love at first sight"! They are going on 20 years and 2 kids.
It's all perspective!

Oh, I didn't mean that part was depressing. I think it's great when people fall in love, no matter where or how. I was just being my usual snarky self.
I actually met the last two men I dated online (but not here). The first one, well, we had a "values difference". The second one ghosted two weeks before Christmas, but at that point I was relieved. That is where the snark came from.
I've also made some really good friends online, and I had one relationship develop online after meeting in person while on vacation. It didn't last, but he was one of "the great loves" of my life that I look back on fondly.
