Actually yes, does that matter?
We met online, decided we enjoyed talking to eachother, decided to meet in person and it took off from there. Been together 8 years now and we're happy as can be.
I'm a very introverted person (hence my original post on this subject, personal expirence) and it was easier for me to talk to people online. I had other friends and stuff to do outside the internet, but at the time, it was a good way to kill time as I wasn't (and still am not) interested in going to bars and other social places.
