Amen and cheers for you and your honey. I've been in the same boat you are in and I thought it was time to abandon ship. My lover, my red headed soldier is someone I have never met in real life. I've met him online nearly six years ago but never wanted to meet him, until six months or so ago. I was in an internet relationship before that but didn't think it could work. Why? The person was much younger than I and I didn't think that he deserved to be with someone as wrecked as me for their one and only love. He hopefully understands why I did what I did...to allow him to start a life of his own with a fresher slate than if he were with me. My redhead? He's my lover and my friend. Why am I staying with him rather than the younger one? Because the redhead is older and...most importantly, he allows me to keep in contact with his friends and family via online. The other one never offered me that option because I guess he was ashamed of me? Who knows. All I know is that next month I will meet my redhead for the first time and we'll see if there's such a thing as love at the other end of the internet connection. *Pleiades

I don't know if you heard of the website Lovehappens, it's also a dating site, I remember posting a profile there some 2 or three years ago to accept an invitation from one of my friends who joined the site too. And then last year, a week or two before they closed the site, I was messaged by someone. Because the site opened its messaging and allowed users to communicate without charge. We were able to talk a few things about each other. It started with that one Hi he sent me... ... a few days after, we were talking all night at YM, a few days more, he started calling me, a few more day, I am feeling that my day is not complete without hearing from him... days more, i was the one calling him sometimes. :P ... a few months later on that simple HI brought him to my country. Months after, it brought us into getting married. We are one proof that it is possible to meet the love of your life online. It doesn't really matter where... the fact is, a way will be made, if it's ,meant to be. The reason why we worked is because we have always been honest with each other from the start. It wasn't easy at first... But then the moment we saw each other and the time when we are able to give each other real hugs and not just emoticons... then that was th time we told each other... It's for real, and there's no way we'll let go of each other.

== Hi There! Good Evening! Yes, I believe that Internet relationship can happen whether it is successful or not. I met a man online when I was in college. I don’t go out a lot when I was in college, my life then were only my friends, family and schools so I always go online to research for my project and sometimes go to the chat rooms to chat. From chatting, I met a nice man who had been a friend to me for almost two years, we talked a lot and he seems to be the only guy who I am talking with aside from my friends of course. We develop some sort of feelings then it elevated into an online relationship. First few years were good but then it started to go wrong. To make the story short, we found out that we can’t be lovers but just friends only. It hurts but we have to move on. That was my personal experience so I know it really happened. It can end up pretty good or not but it is true. I had a friend who is married right now to a guy whom she met online. The guy is serious and visited here to meet the girl and the family. They hit off after few months of dating to get to know each other. Now, they are in America and has three beautiful daughters. I should say that love comes in mysterious way. OH, by the way, I am over with my internet dating… I was a college then… I am committed with a man that I really love! If you are both interested with each other then you should start making plans on how to see each other. Love is a risk that you have to take. You will never know that it is love if you don't find out for yourself. Thanks for the discussion. Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

i dont really think internet relationships work, you may think that you know the person and all but when you meet in person it may be a different story.
