QUESTION: WHY do people online date? I really dislike it... ←_←
ANSWER: They are either desperate, need what they call "love," or are a 40 year old fat guy behind a computer. Who knows?
LOVE is not between a boyfriend and girlfriend. It is between a husband and wife. You don't "love" your boyfriend or girlfriend UNTIL you are ready to propose, marry, and have children. That is love. The commitment of husband and wife. Online dating is nowhere near love. That is why it is pointless.
Disclaimer: I know a few online relationships that actually ARE real, and not desperate. They'll actually work out. I've seen probably about only two of these relationships. So... yeah.
P.S. Hello, desperate online "lovers" reading this. I bet you are bound to break up. Keep THAT in mind. ^_^
