You're right though... both people have to be honest and upright, or it won't work. But, I think (unless they are REALLY good at it), if you talk online a long time with one another, then the real "them" is going to come through. You can't wear a mask ALL the time...and it's hard to keep up with what lies you might tell. Glad you are feeling more "social"...but I think we all have our "crawling into cave" days... I sure do!

Especially with the ability to webcam and talk out loud now. It's pretty stinking close to hanging out. You can get a good feel from people this way. It makes total sense to me too.

I met my SO kind of through the net. I used to live in Sydney and travel down to Melbourne every year for a socialist conference, and had a brief encounter *grin* in a club after the event, then exhanged Facebook and other online details. So we kind of built the relationship online for a month before I went down to visit her again. Worked pretty well as I'm living with her now. Interesting post indeed!
