I met one of my now best friends online, and he may be living in my flat come September. (To verify, it's because he has an offer at my University and they may put us in student accommodation together).

I also spoke to 4 of my flatmates a few months before we moved in together online, and it was fine.

In theory, I met my bf online too - we both had offers to Lancaster University and so joined a group called "Lancaster Applicants 08" on Facebook. We started speaking to each other a lot, and then when we finally got to Uni we met up.
