Since my youth a handful of my relationships online is still active and sure more healthy in my lifetime than damaging me. But i see your point too. I think humanity still learn to balance their doing between offline and online time. Give us time, it will regulate itself. ;-)

It's also about drawing your boundaries in online relationships. When you fail to do that and fall victim to the opposite side it is very dangerous. It's too difficult to judge a person online, so it's a risk that one is taking, in that you may have some good eggs and some rotten ones too :-)
Its is true, but on the other side not for me.^^
Sure, some parts of interaction ([micro]Mimic, Gesticulate, Voice, feeling the aura etc.pp) between humans will be missed online. But let give me a little example, why it is online, like offline, or Contact is Contact in different ways always contact:
My Grandfather meet my Grandmother 3 times in the first year. The most time, they wrote letters....then they married. Don´t forget, with three times of real contact. That is not a lot to go Marriaged. But the letters, make a relationship, who stay for a lifetime.
Here, it is the self with a relationship in the internet. Yes, it needs way more time to learn about the other, but you got also positive way´s to learn more than offline, about a person you meet online. The time is not just bad who is been needed. It gives room for Reflexion about the Interaktion. ;-)
Just the time is the question.
In the end of the game, you will never know a person.
Started with yourself. ;-)
I wish you a healthy time. :-)
