The sense of online relationships

Falling in love through letters was happening for centuries. To communicate by writing used to be a manner of  well educated and good situated class. The deep thoughts between lovers were often written on a piece of paper, before making a proposal. First thing the future couples normally did, was watching each other and comparing this picture with the social status. Face to face communication wasn´t the main impulse to fall in love at all.

Through 1900 writing letters became more popular among the townspeople, starting to live international. Good educated, bold personalities started to have better communication with any other. Discussing about art and culture and what they do in the current time, the step to fall in love was not that far.

Great writers, like Balzac, Kafka, or Hlasko found their real love by writing letters.

Second Life, originally invented for the people, who wanted to make their business online, is also the place, where some of them fell in love. Interesting, those relationships weren´t that strong and didn´t last for a long time.
