Well, if you can meet at least twice a month then I think it's worth it, but once a year.. That is NOT a relationship. I know it's hard to "fall inlove" with somebody on the internet and then you face the reality, you're never going to see her because you live here and she lives there etc.

But, there are other ways to find love. Get out, talk to people! No need to be shy, you don't have anyhing to lose, trust me. =)
