The extent of any relationship Ive ever had online is friendship. Ive met so many people since I started chatting on the internet 7 years ago, but in the back of my head there is always the thought that when you are online, you are a completely different person than in real life. Myself in real life, Im a quiet person, I dont have too many friends and Im scared that people will reject me based on outward appearance alone. The truth is that people reject me for that reason all the time. Online however, Im important, I speak loudly, and people listen, no one can reject me on appearances because they cant see me. People in the antionline irc have indeed asked to speak to me on the phone before, or meet me in real life, but you have to realize that you won't be talking to ThePreacher, you will be talking to Anthony Gayden, a guy completely different from what you expect. So no, there will never be any online relationships in my future.
