Haha, I always kinda thought it was a bit weird meeting people online let alone through an MMO (knew a few couples from my years in WoW), I always went out of my way to avoid any of that sort of interaction. Because I'm a total MMO junkie and quite good at what I do I usually end up an officer and tend to be a bit tougher on girls than on guys, and I generally don't like letting girls into guilds. I know that sounds chauvinistic but it's not always the girls (though some are attention seeking), at least half the time it's the awful white knighting that goes on whenever a girl is around in an MMO. Makes my teeth ache.
So yeah it was a bit of a revelation to meet someone through an MMO, but six months later it's working out quite well
