I think it could be a good or bad thing. Gotta keep in mind that a lot of people develop relationships with people over the internet, on various types of forums, but never have the opportunity to really meet or anything. I know there have been times in the past I would start to feel for someone by just simply talking to them daily on Messenger or something. Then one day out of the blue, would have to move, or they would move, lose internet, etc... By the time I'd come back or they would come back the other would have already found other interest or just moved on entirely. I know I've not had friends logon for a while so I'll stop logging on. Gets depressing waiting for them forever and ever, then one day they just pop back up somewhere out of the blue. Making it all worse.
Internet dating is ok if you can put forth the commitment to stay in contact. It's just too easy to lose contact at times for certain people. I myself don't really enjoy having a phone or hearing it ring and am very shy when talking on it, so I never had a number to give out to keep in contact with. Even then, it's easy to lose a number.
Just saying, it's easy to start to have feelings for someone you talk to on a daily basis, but hard to give up those feelings when someone miles and miles away suddenly disappears for an extended period of time. Which wouldn't help the purpose we come to this site in the first place. Would most likely make the depression worse.
