Hmm. To share my story or not...meh, not. But let's just say...I found my girlfriend in a very strange manner over the internet. Lucky for me, it turned out that she lives only a few hours from where I do (only during the summer though). But most of our contact is over the phone (and we talk daily). I really don't see how words on the screen could have the impact a voice could (sorta like what Botley said).
Oh, by the way, we are in love.
