not at all. A relationship ISN'T dating onwards. It's those little intangibles, knowledge of someone's humnour, knowing their likes and dislikes, their pet's name as a child, etc THOSE are the foundation of a true friendship and FRIENDSHIP is the foundation of a 'relationship'. Many people here are confusing 'relationship' with 'going out together'.
You can build those foundations online and take it inti reality later. But ALL that previous stuff WAS 'relationship building'
It depends on your definition of a relationship. I have many online 'friends'. Not a single one can pop round for a coffee, but I still class some as friends.
I have been 'emotionally' involved with someone I never met, and was as committed as if we HAD met. Inasmuch as I'd not have looked elsewhere during that time.
I don't think you can 'fall in love', but I DO believe that you can experience feelings that could be considered close to that. For me, it's that look in the eyes and that first hug that will tell me whether I could love this person or not. And THAT cannot be achieved online.
