Summary: reality sucks.

In truth, gang, the reality of the situation is this:

Let us say you find yourself falling in love with someone. Via the
networks that we have all come to know and love (?).

What do you do then? How does one hug at long distance, in text only?
                     How does one gaze into the eyes of their beloved,
                          over the phone?

Guess what! It just doesn't work. (This is as far as I have ever gone.)

And so you say you meet in person. One walks, drives, takes a plane.
You are going to end up with crushed expectations (and some that are
exceeded beyond your wildest dreams).
How do you tell this new, net-significant-other about this???

And then, let us say that you still go ahead and derange your life. Move
away from where you were.

What happens when you fall out of love? (This is as far as I've ever heard.)
