Do conversations on the net ever blossom into torrid romances?
Yes; it’s actually not even particularly unusual. Conversations over the net have the advantage of being a non-threatening way to get to know someone and, sometimes, if a person has managed to interest you through articles and/or e-mail and this person continues to interest you when you meet for real, well, all sorts of interesting things have been known to happen. However, this doesn’t mean that simply by posting (even if you post an awful lot) you’ll meet your dream mate; indeed, if it’s obvious that you’re posting for this reason, you’ll tend to turn off most of the people who might otherwise be interested. So, basically, if you’re open to finding a mate this way, the best thing to do is just to hang out and have a good time and if it happens, it happens–and if it doesn’t, you’ll at least have had a good time. (Strangely enough, there are even some folks who recommend this approach to mate-finding for real life as well.
