Have you ever liked (in a romantic way) someone you met online? And I don't mean in an online dating context, I mean more like playing a game together or in the same guild and then becoming friends, or having the same interests and blogging about it, or bonding over fanfiction and fandom and so on. If you have, did anything ever come of it? Did you ever tell anyone about it? I'm curious about how things like this would go.

Not really RPG, but when I was fifteen or sixteen I met a guy on a messageboard, and we flirted a bit. I had a huge crush on him and everything. Oddly enough, my mom knew and was very encouraging, though she also knew I hadn't really given the guy any personal details. Then for some reason he started to ignore me whenever I IMed. I was never sure what happened, but I still remember his name.

... username, that is.

This is honestly sort of sad. But as far as a teenage crush goes it seems like a safe way to explore things. How on earth did your mother find out? I can't imagine telling my parents anything like that when I was that age.

AYRT - We shared a computer at that time so I think she may have seen an IM, but we also had that kind of relationship when I was in high school.

Yeah, it is sort of inevitable in MMORPGs if you play with people.

The closest friend I made was someone named Ed. He doesn't play WoW but we still text each other at least once a week. And last time we had to take a road trip back home, we spent the night at his house instead of a motel.

I met my wife in Guild Wars...

No shit? So did a friend of mine. They have the most adorable babies now.

Yep! No babies, but we have a couple cute pets. :)

I had a pseudo-romantic online relationship with a friend from a fandom back in the LJ days. We would write sweet fanfics about the slash pairing with both shipped and dedicate them to one another, flirt with each other, have long philosophical discussions... I even talked about visiting her, and she lived in a very far away country.

But then she found religion, got scared, took down all her slash fics and never spoke to me again.

Wow, talk about bad ends. If I could ask one more question, how old were you back then?

Hmm, we talked for a couple of years. Probably between when I was seventeen, and when I was nineteen or twenty. She was four years older than me.

Yeah, it sucked, but I kind of saw it coming. I am fairly certain that she is either bisexual or a lesbian (she would read lesbian literature offline and slash fiction online) and with the cute flirting with me... But she was also Muslim from a very religious country, and for awhile she started talking to me about religion, and about becoming a better Muslim. I was obviously upset at the time because I was coming to terms with the fact that I actually am a lesbian, and couldn't talk with her. We used to talk about absolutely everything for hours every day. But I wish her the best and hope she's well now.

I definitely would feel that it would suck for both of you. I hope as well she's happy with her life and how she is, whatever that might mean to her. It's certainly sad that things like that happen to people.

I had a crush on a forum moderator once. Aside from that not really, though I do see how people could become infatuated with their guild leaders. Honestly though I have not played consistently enough with a guild or guildmates to become that close to anyone. I hear about people meeting the loves of their lives all the time on games like this though.

I haven't yet, but I'd "role-play" a relationship with someone in an MMORPG that had sweet marriage benefits. Some do, so getting married can be tactically efficient, or unlock bonus features, or just be a sweet achievement to brag about.

It'd be very cute if you actually liked that person and they liked you, but I'd be too afraid of them being a 13 year old boy or something lol

Regular RP turned into sexy RP on a MMO. I was 16 and he was in his late-twenties/early-thirties. He disappeared off the face of the Earth for a week without warning, I got super worried, then I read the forum of the server we were on and explained he got engaged to another female player of our guild. Heartbroken, I explained my feelings to him and decided it was better if we never spoke to each other again.

On same server and MMO I met the guy who took my virginity. We both roleplayed - but never in a sexy way - and when our (private) server closed we kept in contact. Other the years we became best friends and I guess we fell in love with each other (I was in love with him). This process took a long time (over five years!). Then I decided to travel accross the country to spend New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with him. It was really great. Then I guess it didn't give him too much space. He told me his cousin was dying of cancer and that's why he couldn't talk to me. Two months later I was in vacation near he lived with my parents and we tried to set up a meeting but for one reason or another he never showed up, and now he's gone from my life.

THEN there's a dude who says he wants to fuck me without being in love with me, despite having never seen my face and me acting super distant. I was through a rough time at work and I'm thankful for his emotional support. The issue is that I can't provide it to him in return. I stopped playing that MMO and know I have zero things to say to him.

When I was a younger teen I was on a forum that had a long running gag/game where members would "marry" or "adopt" each other and formed a ridiculous, convoluted family tree. It was all in good fun and not taken seriously in the least, but I did mildly crush on a couple of the people I "married." Nothing really came of it - just typical kid crushes that I never acted on.

Yep. Spent six years with him, to which he cheated and chased after his first 'mmo' girlfriend behind my back. (Keep in mind he NEVER saw her face or talked to her, and was obsessed with her because they lived in the same city) We came back to that MMO years later and he dumped me a few weeks later to chase after/fuck around with his old MMO friends there. Pretty much regret wasting my twenties on him.

I had some MUD things that went as far as phone sex, then I got cold feet. I was 20 at the time.

Yeah. It was in a chatroom I was modding. We ended up having a relationship for almost 4 years.

Yup, when I first started playing WoW I met a guy in the game who helped me when I was a newbie, we'd chat a fair bit while we were each questing away in different areas and I ended up developing a little bit of a crush on him but it never went anywhere and we lost contact when I changed servers at the end of BC(this was before battlenet was implemented so keeping friends across servers was pretty tricky unless you moved together and he was settled where he was).

And I got to know my current boyfriend through WoW. We knew each other irl beforehand 'cause were were on the same course at uni but when we found out that we both played WoW we exchanged character names and began to chat online during the evening sometimes, that developed into flirting and skype calls until we went out on a proper date with each other about 6 months after we first started talking to each other in-game.

Yeah I crushed something heavy but I've no interest in pursuing online relationships and neither does she. We're just good friend instead although our interests don't overlap as much anymore, she's got a girlfriend now but I'll be happy to put both of them up if they ever visit my city.

Yes. Then they died IRL.

Yes. And I met the guy. Pretty cool guy, mostly. But once he got what he wanted from me, he wandered to someone else (i.e. sex). Still a nice guy (as in good guy) otherwise, but that burned me and I kept my distance from him after that. Stayed friendly until our group fell apart from infighting.

Yup. I have met two of my girlfriends in WoW. One was a disaster, another... well, she's not really sure what she wants out of life at the moment, and we're still good friends, but decided a relationship could wait until she's more stable, if she's interested at that point.

I met my ex-fiance, my ex-bf&gf, an ex-kinda-sorta-gf, an ex-fucking-disaster gf, and my ex-married partner of ten years on a writers' community chatroom. We were all very close. I'm still in touch with most of them. My ex-fiance and I are in agreement that we're best friends who have diametrically opposing needs due to medical/psych issues. My ex-bf&gf... well, I actually am more in contact with their kids, who are now 21 and 18 (WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE? THEY WERE IN SINGLE DIGITS O.O).

I met my ex-gf G on LiveJournal; a mutual friend posted for help because G was 24hrs away from a flight cross-country to meet her dad for the first time, and the friend who had offered to dogsit ditched at the last minute. We have a big backyard, so I said, if you can get doggie down to Olympia from north of Seattle, we'll be happy to have him. We ended up meeting her in person because the friend who was going to bring Skipper back kept having scheduling conflicts, so we brought Skipper back, and ended up staying until 5am talking. And things sorta went from there. We're friends, and she's in a much better place now than from when we broke things off.

I met my polyfamily on LiveJournal, through the No Pity, No Shame, No Silence meme that was going around. I shared my story, and met someone else who sounded interesting, and I ended up basically friending their entire polyfamily. Long story short, things happened that torched my friendship with her (and to specify would need heavy trigger warnings), but I've been involved with my fiancee Omi for about five years now. We'd been flirty online for a few years before that, but we weren't sure how things would work out in person. They moved out here last year, and I ended up falling head over for my fiance Scott, and I have some involvement with Omi's husband, though we're not sure how to label it.

I think I've only had one relationship that started out offline, actually.
