Tec,
Depends on what you mean by "get serious." Do you mean in the relationship sense, as in "you and me to the ends of time babe / let me rub my love loam all over your beautiful body" or in the "let's discuss philosophy and theology and politics and whatnot" sense? I've found that people discuss very different things online / in email than they will face to face. So, in some sense, I think it's easier to be more serious about certain topics online. With that said...
I personally think internet flirtation is all fun and games, and I'm certainly not above it. I don't, however, think it translates too well to real life...maybe like a 10% increased-knowledge-of-the-other-person factor. But as soon as you say / they say "let's get together and have a few drinks" all kinds of shit goes out the window... I think it's just psychological fun, 95% of the time.
