I met my ex-girlfriend from RuneScape too, she lived just 30 minutes away.
I guess it depends how realistic you're being. If you're an ordinary person with a mediocre job, live in Belgium and you're dating someone from Australia, then you know you're really only ever going to meet at RuneFest.. if ever at all.
No but seriously, I think E-Dating is fine as long as there are plans to meet and be in real life, or otherwise just for "fun". We're human, we shouldn't be living behind screens all day to impress our E-Date. Get out of your basements and live!!!
