the average person encounters thousands of people per year, not just the same 500. The truth is that IRC is just another form of interaction, no different that going to a club/bar or even the grocery. You can meet your mate anywhere. My cousin met his wife when he ran a red light and hit her. You just never know.

I don't know anyone who has, i havn't.*

I do know people who have found each other through other internet mediums.

I have however met some of the best people in my 'real' life through IRC though.


(*developed a long term relationship after first meeting on irc)

This by no means proves it's not possible.

So what makes you think IRC is exempt?

So you have created a real life relationship with friends, but it's impossible for just one of those to be more than just friendship?

I was actually defending the idea that it is possible, just stating that i dont have any first hand examples i can offer.

Hope for me yet!!!
Yes I believe you can, although if you consider doing so remember the safety aspect! I have been on several networks where there are couples who have found true love through IRC, I also have several great friends who I socialize with off of IRC.
