I don't think that it's nearly as likely as marrying someone that you meet in person. With the internet, everyone is very suspicious and demands to know so many things about the person before meeting them, dating them, etc. Relationships that start in person very rarely have that...usually you learn about the person as you go along. That way, their flaws and habits will come out gradually and you become accustomed to them bit by bit. When you flush them all out at once before even meeting the person (like online), it's much more likely that the cumulative effect of seeing them all at once will scare you away. Plus, when you start a relationship before seeing all of a person's flaws, you are able to develop something positive before you see the negative, and this causes you to balance whether it's worth it to give up a developed relationship because of a flaw you just found out about. Online, you find out about most of the flaws before you have anything invested, making it really easy to decide that the flaws outweigh the potential.

Wait, I'm confused. If you meet someone online and like them, eventually you will have to meet in person, I mean that's just common sense. If that leads to marriage then that's great, but my point is regardless of where you met them, it would still lead up to getting to know them face to face during that time so how is it not possible?

First of all, let me clarify that I was trying to say that it's far less likely, not impossible though.

My point overall was that you're less likely to ever meet them face to face in the first place when you meet them online...because by that time you will have taken a lot of steps to get to know them and try very hard to figure out their flaws. In typical dating, it's the actual face to face meetings (dates) that allow you to do this. Online, you're able to do that well before you ever meet them face to face, and as a result of knowing their flaws beforehand, I think you'll be less likely to even give them a chance at a face to face meeting.

It's just my interpretation, though.

i may meet someone but i am never getting married.the ring changes the whole scope of the relationship and not for the better in my opinion.
