It's very nice proof that there are people out there who don't go for just a pretty face but rather, personality, which is really one of the most important aspects of a relationship. Not to mention, and this goes for regular friendships as well, it gives the socially awkward a chance to know people without having to be in their presence first.
Both my best friend and my boyfriend (as well as myself) are extremely socially awkward. But we consider each other to be absolute best friends. I actually met my best friend on an old PPG forum back in 2003 and she has an overbearing mother who has always watched who she spoke to online (she was 10 at the time so there was good reason to do so). I was the first person she was allowed to speak to and if things go well, I'll be spending Christmas with her family for the second time this year.
