Internet romance is when two people are having a romantic relationship while communicating through the Internet. Meetings usually occur a considerable time after the two parties first meet on-line. While some romances fade away, a minority lead to serious relationships like marriage.

People may meet through online dating services, or through chat-rooms and forums, which may or may not be themed around relationships.
