one of my closest friends met her first boyfriend online and they are now living together and have a little girl who is one year old.
Of course it can work. It's just another way of meeting people. I think though a lot of people can tell lies online, that a lot of people can tell things they'd never tell face to face, and it can be easier to find someone compatible that way, because your ideas/values are similar, than to "stumble" along as another poster said and hope you meet someone compatible where your first interaction with them will most likely be visual, and that can be so misleading. Maybe online is actually better...or just different.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
