I was just wondering, recently we have all heard about all these people meeting the love of their lives on the internet i'm sure. Both of my roomates are always looking online to meet someone new, and it's completely intriguing, as they have met some pretty cool people, and yes, some jerks, but for the most part, if they really wanted to try it out, and see if they could make it work for something more than just a 2 week relationship, they would probably find someone they could truly love... So here's some questions for all of you.. How many of you have met the person you love over the internet, Have you met them in person? Have you married, or are you living together? Do you think that it could work, meeting someone online, and then going from there? It's an interesting thought, it would be nice to see what all of you think. Thanks.

I met my current husband online through a free dating site. We started out emailing and iming each other and then we met in person. It was a casual dating relationship to begin with, and it developed in to something more as time went on. I never would have met him if I hadn't gone online as he lived an hour south of me in a town I'd never heard of before. He and I have a lot of things in common and enough different to make it interesting. I think that if you take the time to really get to know someone, and you both are honest, then yes, you can meet the love of your life.

I never except that Idea of meeting people on internet and you will marry them one day! Though I have heard stories of some people who found their love on Internet. I dont like even chatting with starngers on internet. I havent found even a good friend on internet, it all because I cannont resist to that thought any more. Its really tough to Chat online,know a days! You know all that spam thing around you... So I will never be added to that list even as I am too much Internet savy and still single!

you would be surprised hun... when you meet something, and there's more to it then you could have ever dreamed, there's not really much you can do about it, other than let it go as it flows... open up a little, you might be surprised...

Yes, I met someone online almost six years ago... through a random instant message, believe it or not. We lived far apart and he was also in the service at that time (he left for a six-month deployment about half a year after we'd met and that was rough). The odds of any kind of relationship seemed impossible and neither one of us were really looking for that either. We did develop an amazing and supportive friendship, though. Over time, feelings surfaced quite strongly and we actually did try to walk away from it all several times... but it never lasted and we'd start writing, calling and talking again. He came to visit me on one of his leaves and I traveled to visit him several times. When he was finally discharged, he came to visit again... and stayed. We celebrated our third wedding anniversary this past January. So, yeah... it's possible ;) I firmly believe it's not for everyone (and there are definitely some creeps out there, just like there are anywhere else)... but it's possible. We have absolutely no regrets.

Aww, that's so wonderful, I'm so totally happy for you, congratulations, you deserve it... It's amazing how stories like this can impact our every day life, no it's not for everyone, and most of the time, it's when your not even looking that it happens, but it's amazing when it does.. Thank you for your comment, put a smile on my face.

I definately think that we could all find someone to love and have lasting love with over the internet. I have actually met someone and i am not sure where it will go and no we have yet to meet in person as we feel it is best to take our time. I have been talking to him since October now and we only talk through yahoo or email as he says he does not want me to feel like i have no options although all i really want is him ... LOL! I think that LOVE itself is possible and where we find that love is strictly up to us!!

I met a few people on the internet but then i think its risky is it not ?? i mean total strangers you would meet is it not far better to be socially active to find better partners people who you know and can build up trust with ??

I'm always wary of meeting people for relationship in the net. I used to chat and I could sense my chatmates are telling lies and hiding their own personality. Besides, I've heard so much about issues concerning crimes via the net, like meeting chatmates in person and then resulting to rapes and other crimes. We can't tell exactly the personality of the person on-line. Having a relationship through the internet is way too risky. Well, this is only my opinion. We may have different opinions on this matter.

There are several topics which is based on choices .I think online world provide a biggest community for mankind to share and start friendship .I have also made a large group .By the way you are talking about the time duration for that friend ship really it is too less .But don't matter anytime when we need them we can find help from our friends .
