Yeah, it is real. It's rather difficult to make it work online. Everyone is different, has different personality's, and it's hard to be able to tell the mood of someone online, so it's hard to know how to talk someone. For instance, if someone is upset or hurting then you would want to show compassion. If someone is angry or mad, you may just want to listen, and just let them know that. It can work though. I have met a few people from the internet, and it has been okay. Just wasn't the right place or the right time.
