I am the biggest hypocrite on this area, because I actually met my boyfriend through RP, but it's not something I'd exactly recommend. I've had some experiences where someone has fallen for me through my character, in which case it is not so much me they're falling for but rather because they project my character back onto myself rather than realizing that there is a line between ic/ooc. Each episode of this always ended rather dramatically, resulting in me no longer speaking with the person oocly etc. I'd say overall, the blurring of the IC/OOC line is the root of most drama I've been involved in or heard of. Because when you blurr it at one point, you can no longer be terribly sure of it in any situation, which means if a character suddenly does something mean to yours, you might start suspecting the action was oocly motivated because the player has an issue with you - it starts a very slippery slope. So indeed as the others say, tread carefully.
I'd also say it's not a given that just because you can talk with someone for hours on end, that it's due to love or love-like feelings. I certainly know a handful of people where if a 5-6 hour skypecall happened it wouldn't be unusual - but I do not have feelings for any of them. We just like talking a lot ^^ It might not be the same for you, but either way if it is so you'll figure it out sooner or later
