There have been accounts of people falling in love online and then they met up in real life and things worked out. So it's not stupid because it has worked before. However, you do have to be careful. I believe if you're going to be in a relationship, you have to be able to see each other at some point. So if it's online, see if you can't meet up sometime. And if you do meet up, do it in a public place and/or with somebody you trust just to be safe.
