Hm, I met someone on the internet nearly 3 years ago now who ended up becoming a good friend, but not more. We've met in person once - he spent a week staying here last summer. But too many meetings would be impractical - we're from different countries. I do think meeting online helped us become friends though. And although I'm probably not a "real aspie", I do think I'm somewhere around the borderline. Come to that, he might be around the borderline too.

I sort of met my current boyfriend online. We had met before - we went to primary school together - and our parents knew each other, but we hadn't talked it about 6 years. Then he tracked me down on bebo... we talked on msn for a while before meeting up in person. He definitely is an aspie, so I'll have to ask him if the msn phase made things easier.
