It’s so easy to mess up online.
You can say one wrong thing and that could be that, you might never hear from then again, no matter how long you’ve known them.. I guess it’s rare that we ever “know” anyone online.

Unfortunately that can be true especially if you’re only communicating online, where “messing up” is easier because you’re not seeing facial expressions nor hearing tone of voice. So feeling a connection and saying the right things can be challenging.
Since it is a gamble, if there’s interest in pursuing any type of relationship it’s probably best to plan for phone calls and video chats. Of course that’s not a guarantee of success but it does increase the chances of a positive outcome.

@OlderSometimesWiser May I add that if you truly like/respect a person online and have a misunderstanding of what they said or perceived the message negatively instead of blocking and deleting them. A mature person would communicate their possible misunderstanding and ask for a clarification/explanation instead of jumping to the judgmental block and delete.
@WillaKissing Agreed but unfortunately “mature” is not a given.
