I'd appreciate if anybody without anything decent to say would shut the fuck up.
kty.
I've always preferred relationships over the internet personally. I just don't find girls around me attractive at all. (Not appearance, personality). Also I hate talking German (casually); I'd want to talk English to my lover, not German. I prefer not to talk at all actually. What Charlotte said is definitely true for me. I find it a lot easier to really open up about myself to someone over the internet, which is prolly the reason why I've never dated irl. Nobody knows me IRL since I keep to myself.
And yes I would consider it 'close'. Certainly not physically, but that's not my definition of 'close' either way (in this case). Is it not possible for two people to be emotionally close? To find yourself attracted to somebody's personality / style? To fall in love with somebody you've never touched before? Oh and the RO, common interests, etc. thing is a huge + for me since nobody I know irl shares my interests, not even the guys.
@MAC: Tell me if you're going to continue posting "LOLOL U NO SEE HER AAHAH DURR HURRRR RU TORLLD LOL" style comments so I can add you to my forum ignore list.
