I think an online relationship can be just as valid.

You may even become closer with the person that you ever would have in person, depending on individual personalities. I personally take a while to form my thoughts, so in person, I appear to not always have an answer, but I just like to think about what I say before spouting off.

Also, I think the whole anonimity of the internet allows people to let their guards down and not be so reserved...because if they get scared, freedom if just a browser close away.

I realize that this also opens the door for people to present themselves falsely, but once an online relationship progresses to the point of actually getting to know the person, usually I think it becomes evident whether they are being true or not.
