Its an odd point. From experience you cannot define love unless you know someone so completely you can see their flaws and accept them. Certainly thats not really possible until you've spent serious amounts of time with them. Online(or long distance) relationships can have this huge gestation period where you will be in dreamland, thinking that you understand said person when really you cannot as you are not interacting with them on a 'normal' basis. When your relationship with said person comes under the slightest stress its probably going to break as you don't understand the other person well enough to resolve any problems and vice versa. But I guess it changes from person to person. Perhaps I'm just a pessimist in that sense.
As for friendships, well that different. You can connect with people on a variety of different reasons, mutual interests etc. I'd consider a number of people via this online world really close friends who i could trust with things. Only a few, but yeah. Friendship yes, relationships no. I guess thats how I figure it.
But that is only me and my opinion !
