Online romance

I'm playing hookie from work today. Boss said I'd earned a day off after working soooo hard for the past few weeks. Great!! I should be happy right? I think I'm turning into one of those crazed work obsessed nuts who's helpless without their workstation in front of them. Gotta be that. No other explanation. I'm obsessed with being constantly connected. Hell I spend half my time at home on social networking sites like orkut/facebook etc etc etc. Whatever happened to good old fashioned ways to spend your time. Its depressing to not express yourself to friends face to face, just write diaries and blogs. Kinda lonely out here I guess. In endless cyberspace, we're all lost I guess. Looking for something to connect to. People meet online nowadays. They meet they fall in love, they get married... Almost without even seeing each other. Makes you wonder how small has the world really gotten, how connected have become? Its hard to miss the irony though, the more we connect the more lonely we are. Maybe I'm old school, but do we really forge true relationships on the internet? I was best friends with a college classmate for 4 years, we did everything together in college, then we moved in together and suddenly there was a whole side of her I'd never seen before. People quit their marriages on the pretext that they "dont know each other anymore". If after beings best friends, lovers, husband - wife, you dont know each other, then how well do you really know whats-his-face from your GNR chatroom?
So do we really fall in love online?? Or do we just fall in love with the idea of love/
