I found love due to a wrong number, even went as far as dating for a while. At the end of the day, the person turned out to be completely different from who she said she was initially. When it comes to dating someone on a forum, I think it can be even worse, since people are hardly ever who they portray themselves to be online. However, there are the rare case where some have found loving, long lasting, loving relationships through these online, "first sight" encounters. I guess the experience will vary from person to person.
