I meet this girl in Canada and she is wondering but haven't meet her yet.  Plan to meet her this summer.  Until then it will purely be online.

I have. I met my fiance online years ago. We were friends first for a few years, now we're planning our wedding. He lives in Georgia and I'm in Canada. Its a long distance relationship, but we make it work. I'll be moving down there pretty soon. Not all relationships online work as great as our has. To make a long story short, online relationships can and do work out for people and I've known quite a few people who have had online relationships and are now married and have a great life together. Its not for everyone though.

No, I wouldn't let it come between us. Eventually, one person would relocate, but that's just logistics. Hummm...about meeting someone online? I guess it would depend where you met them. Typically people you run into in chat rooms or on free sites don't tend to be of the same quality (or want the same things out of a relationship) as people who use paying services.

looking for a relationship online is not a good thing. i know that there are people out there that is has worked for, but finding someone over the internet that is honest and does not have some kind of agenda is very rare.  and it is very hard to get to know someone over the internet.  and you also do not have to do the club scene to find someone. there is a person out there for everyone.  just do things that you enjoy doing.  if you enjoy the movies or concerts or whatever, just do them. interact with people of the opposite sex that enjoys doing the same things that you do.  you don't have to fall madly in love with someone, form a friendship first. some of the greatest relationships started out as friends.  and it will be easier to approach people if you are shy if you approach them with the idea that you want to be friends and not wanting a relationship.

I actually found one this way...and he became a boyfriend for a while.  I think a lot of people that go on there are chicken or are just trying to see if anyone's actually interested in them.  I used adultfriendfinder.

I did once just for fun. I do know one guy who met his wife that way! That may sound crazy... but people had the same impression about online dating when it first started but it works.\nIt is a fun way of meeting new people...take some friends with you. Even if you don't meet anyone amazing I am sure there will still be entertaining characters around that will amuse you :)\n\nIf you want any tips etc this here is a good article about speed dating: http://www.newagey.com/dating-love/speed-dating-tips/\n\nGood luck :)

I met my fiancee online over six years ago.  I loved him long before I kissed him for the first time.  I believe that the lack of physical contact forces people over the internet to get to know each other better than if they were dating traditionally.  We still had a few wrinkles to smooth out once we moved closer to one another but we had already fallen in love.

yes you can fall in love with someone you met online. \n\ni met my boyfriend on-line, its the greatest thing that could have happen in my life. I'm completely head over heels in love with this man. \n\nonline dating, is just like meeting someone you would in a bar or club, but this way your safe in your house, don't have to worry about looking good or shaving your legs. \n\nyou just have to treat it like any other relationship. i mean with all those oneline dating services. its pretty normal to have met your man off of the computer.

My friend did. They were together for 4 years and married for almost a year. I think that relationships that start online have a better survival potential because you bond over similar interests and values while in the "real" world the first attraction is always physical and cannot guaranty that you will have something to hold on to once the initial infatuation is gone. I am dating someone I met online as well and I couldn't be happier.

I don't have a problem finding love over the internet. After all, I met my husband on the net.\n\nWhat I have a problem with is people who actively go looking on the internet. It's like putting your name in the personals in the newspaper. A sign of desperation. And last I looked desperation isn't a good thing.\n\nThe internet is also dangerous because people don't think when they meet someone on the net. They rush into it talking about how they met only a month ago and have talked for only a week over the phone and want to get married to this person. For some reason, if it's over the net, they don't want to wait until they actually get to know someone.\n\nMy husband and I have known each other for almost 9 years. We knew each other for over three years as friends over the net. Then we spent 5 and a half years "dating" going back and forth between our countries and talking on the phone for hours and hours every night for YEARS. \n\nWe've been married since June.\n\nMost people aren't willing to take the time it takes. It's not like meeting someone face to face. It's alot more dangerous and you don't have the ability to look at each other so you can rely on your own personal perception. \n\nPeople also aren't willing to wait until they're over that "honeymoon" phase of the relationship and work at the communication part. It's why most internet relationships fail. They can't handle the distance and work on the communication.\n\nEven my family, the people who were so sceptical in the beginning and advising me against getting involved with my husband. Even they have admitted that this is probably the healthiest relationship they've ever seen due to the level of communication he and I have. We can even finish each others sentences and yet we will find each other absolutely fascinating. Even after all this time.\n\nIf people would learn to be patient and take it slowly, I wouldn't say anything. But most people seem convinced they want to marry this person after speak to them for only a month or so over the internet. It's ridiculous.

Well Kat, online relationships are not that strong but at the same time it does leave the same set of wounds like the real one.\n\nI feel that you are in denial and hence you are unable to let it go even after this long a time. Here is an thing I did in one of my online relationship which turned sour.\n\nI put all the chat archives, pictures, mails, posts etc. in a folder. Read it all once. Then pressed Shift+Delete. I put my mouse on that "YES" confirmation for almost 30 minutes and sat there wondering. Then finally clicked YES. Now its all behind me and though I break a smile when I think about her and the time we spent together online. But it doesnt affect me as it did then...\n\nMaybe you can follow this... Do tell me if it helped...\n\n.:Fishie:.

Geez, I'm in a rut right now with one.  I want to believe something will really happen, but the longer it goes, and his stories change, I"m starting to feel he's making me play games now.  \n\nI have however made 2 very good friends from the online dateing!  It's like we have been friends forever. The problem was, we weren't compatable with all the lovey, romance, sex stuff.\nBut I'll love their friendship and hold them dear in my heart forever!

internet relationships are pretty much the same as any other relationship. whenever you embark on a new relationship you are taking a chance regardless of where or how you met.

FIRST OFF\nPeeps with relationships hitting this pagr, neeed to BTFO.\nNow then.  Realise as few things hun.\n1:  Internet relationships do not just happen.  It takes time, and commucation.  I know, cause I had a 2 month long one.\n2:  Distance must NOT be a factor in your online relationship.\n3:  Take a long hard look at yourself if you are begging for a boyfriend.  If you really need one, then you have issues that need to be taken care of.  You should be independant and not need another to live with.\n4:Now i do know i should answer your question, so I have to proudly say no, but leave a counter-offer of friendship on the table.  If you assept, look for my e-mail address in my profile.  If not, best wishes.

I have my theories on this, and it is SUCH a good question...\nI think that people who are playing the field online are mostly people who are relationship addicts and people who avoid true intimacy...let's face it, people...how hard is it to meet someone in real life, really?  If you open your eyes and your heart,  if you are TRULY looking to date,  there are interesting people out there EVERY SINGLE DAY who are AVAILABLE, in REAL LIFE...and totally local..I think that a lot of these people on the single's sites are maybe even married and are looking for a thrill on the side...at least a cyber thrill...which is TOTALLY lame, in my opinion.  I tried internet dating for an entire MONTH...but I found I need a real connection...the best place to find people is in places where people are doing things that you enjoy...I personally love bookstores and the library...\nwhat a cool question!

I personally believe that the internet is an alternative avenue of finding love.  Just like going to the bar, attending parties, going to malls, joining clubs...this is the new age with an amazing technology so cyberworld is an alternative for everything. I have found 2 amazing guys on the net....I feel in love with them on a different level at one point in time. They did reciprocate too...we had a really good relationship that didn't stay online.  We just started virtually but ended up in real life.  With one guy, it lasted for 3 years....that means it wasn't really just a game.  It's really possible to find love online, take it from me.
