It can be both.

My husband and I met through an online forum, and were friends for a long time before we decided to try a romantic relationship.

I think it's a fallacy to assume "online" only means dating sites these days. Many people's social lives are online, so that's where they meet friends and partners

Yes, that’s what I meant. You start out as friends (whether you meet online or in real life), and develop from there as you get to know each other better.
