Telephoning is an intrusive act, where one cannot control who calls or when they call. However email and chatting has more of an internal locus on control, in that, one can control when they would like to check their email and who they would like to respond to. Therefore, meeting a person online gives people a sense of control on their personal lives. They are able to choose who they interact with, and thus feel in control of their own destiny.

Relationships formed online are vulnerable by human nature.
People have a tendency to disclose too much, too soon, and they create ideals and fantasies in unrealistic ways. It is hard to really believe who you are chatting with as there are no other cues except the words on the screen. Although these words are enough to spark an attraction, the idea of taking the relationship beyond such words needs to be explored in order to make the relationship real. In chatting online, you can imagine anything you want about the other person's feelings. You can believe that they other person completely understands your views.
