It's important that you don't just immediately jump into a relationship with someone just because you've gotten on well, those types of relationships don't work out in most cases. Instead, you should always get to know them well, even their acts and facial expressions or how they handle certain situations, so be friends for a while and maybe even ask some deep questions about them. Yet, even if you might know them well, it's not going to go far if they don't know you well either, so always make sure that both of you learn more about each other every single day. This can last up to a few months (as it did with mine), but don't be worried because if it's true love any time is the right time.
A lot of the things people hear online is false. Or read. Or say. Or do actually, anything can be false.
Anyways, you need to pay attention if they actually seem interested in getting to know you or not. Let me just go through that:
You: Oh and I really like that type of music!
Them: ok
You: And also some films are just amazingly done
Them: mhm
That is an uninterested conversation between the both of you, try to make a conversation less one sided:
You: I like comic books, do you?
Them: I guess so, I read a lot.
You: nice! What books?
Them: usually crime, you?
You: It's the fictional characters for me.
That is a conversation in which you would both be a proper part of and interested in the discussion, which would be good. Don't mind the topics I am basing these examples off of, I just want to make some points clearer.
Once you both have gotten to know each other more and more and that for a while now, you're probably already good friends, whether that is online or not. You're doing well like that.
