My husband and I met on the internet years ago on a MUD. And, we are still going strong. Internet romance is ideal because it gives you a chance to get to know each other emotionally and intellectually before you know each other physically.

In the hundreds of hours we spent together in the beginning of our relationship, all we did was talk. We shared our dreams, our past and we got to know each other inside and out. Something, no matter how hard you may try, you just can't duplicate when you meet in person first.

Internet relationships are not right for everyone. And, I would certainly caution anyone who gets involved in it to be careful. But, for those it works for, it works out well.
