The variables that distinguished the groups were decision/commitment, passion, intimacy, satisfaction, overall time of daily Internet use, daily Internet time directed to maintain social contact and relationship problems. The Internet has been used for the development of relationships, however, the results suggest that it serves primarily as a way of bringing people who may never meet without the help of this technological tool together.
