A bad idea, yes, but it does sometimes work. In my case, I met and
married someone here in Minnesota, after we met on IRC (in a Canadian
chat room, strangely enough), and we've been happily married
for just about three years now.
But I consider us very lucky, and would not encourage the kids at
home to try it. (c: My wife and I both had very bad First
Encounters with people we met online (who coincidentally both lived
in Canada...strangely enough).
