I have tales of my own. There was the time, in my very first, trusting, naive months of being online that I flew across the country to meet a cybercrush. He turned out to be an abusive, angry man. I was shocked. It was so hard to reconcile the man in front of me with the man I had fallen in love with over the wires.
Text can be so powerful.
My crush, in fact, was a very gifted writer. Unfortunately, frustrated and under-published, he used his wordsmithing talents to dupe women over the 'Net. I wasn't the first, I suppose, and I found out later that I wasn't the last. I've had positive experiences, too. My last important love was someone I met online.
