Many of my longest friends are from online relationships, be it people I met online or from people I met in person but where circumstanes have left irl meetups very infrequent (e.g. moved countries). Compare that to my IRL social circle which has turned over a few times as my college friends and I scattered around the country post-graduation, or as I've moved around since then.
