Yes, most of us learned about SAO through the Anime, and for which-ever reason, we decided to read the Light Novel. As we said, the light novel fills in a lot of gaps.

I don't really care much about the "Bonus Chapter", as it's no longer included in the official publication, (even if everyone considers it canon... I kinda do to, but that's beside the point). Also, if you read the story with Sachi, the relationship between them is said to not be romantic at all, and that Kirito described it more like two stray cats licking each other's wounds.

Not an Asuna fanboy. Honestly I'm more interesting in him getting with Ronye -cough- but I still dislike that so much of SAO is judged by its anime... Kirito's first love was actually Sachi... there was this official survey where you could "ask" the characters questions, and Kirito answered that his first love was "someone in the Moonlit Black Cats Guild"

They weren't exactly romantic, but I would say that they had really really strong feelings for eachother, and according to the manga, I would say their feelings are much more real and strong than Kirito and Asuna's feelings.
