can one be internet friend zoned?

The friend zone is a term for people who fail to realize the subject of their affections probably don't reciprocate it because there's something overtly unappealing about them that makes them unsuitable for dating that particular person. Someone doesn't see you in a romantic light even though your intentions are more obvious than the sky's colour, there's probably a reason for it. It's bullshit to blame somebody for to falling for you because you think they should. Life isn't a movie where the guy always gets the girl because he's "owed" it, according to popular culture.

Anyways, I do think online relationships can be pretty legitimate in the sense where you can really emotionally bond with somebody, although maintaining something like that is kind of difficult, especially if meeting is far too difficult to be feasible. Also, tying yourself to a person online is in a way a bit unfair to both parties because you're so focused on what's behind a screen, you're kind of ignoring the life that may be passing you by out in the real world.
