Love Online

Aaron Ben-Ze'ev wrote a book about falling in love in this particular world: Love Online: Emotions on the Internet.
This book, as Yuval Dror testified, compares "love at first sight" and "love at first chat." Are we talking about the same thing? Is falling in love from the first chat really possible? Ben-Ze'ev writes that this kind of love is based on a "personality cult" in which someone who has certain good qualities is assumed to have others. To illustrate this, Ben-Ze'ev provides quotes from people who say they fell in love with an on-line partner from their very first conversation. He uses this effective strategy throughout the book, which is interspersed with hundreds of quotes (some of them quite charming) from people talking about their on-line experiences".
And... What is your real experience?
