I'm not saying it's impossible, but I see nothing wrong with growing a sack and walking up to a girl/guy and asking them out. Yes I know some people don't have relationships due to busy schedules but then again, if they didn't have time to meet someone, then they certainly wouldn't have time to date them.

I really hate the term "in real life" or "in reality." As if the internet is some fake world with fake people.
It isn't? Uh...look who you're talking to for a perfect example, and nobody ever lies about anything on the internet be it with photoshop or simply using a fake name and avatar. Also the whole concept of humor on the internet does not translate will into the real world. You can hate the term all you want but it doesn't make my point any less valid.
