Ulimaroa, I have to agree with you, to some extent. I think that it is the dream world thing in a lot of cases. On-line relationships can be romantic and perfect. You don't have to see the other person at their worst, only with their best foot/face forward.
While I believe that some are the real thing, like Don said, your observation is probably more true in most cases. I, personally, can't see myself living out a relationship by posting about my personal life online. I have been on forums while I was in a relationship, but not with someone from that site, and I said nothing about it in my posts.
It does seem that people are being applauded, like winning a contest, once they start dating someone. How many actually become a real couple, and are some jumping the gun by proclaiming they have found someone before the relationship is solidified? Just my observation.
But, to each his own. If some can find joy in imaginary relationships, who are we to judge. I say go for whatever lights up your life.
