Answer 1

Unless you can spend time with a person in reality.  It's only a fantasy.  I've had one friend it actually has worked for.  Other than that  I can tell you from other's who've had an online relationship they average about 3 years.

no.

bad idea.

Answer 3

You can't really say optimistically that it'd work out because it lacks of personal relationship. They way someone act behind a screen could be 180 degrees different from when you see each other in person. There's no way to share friends and interests. It's hard to give emotional supports, etc. I don't think it'd be a serious relationship before meeting physically.
