Now that I am newly single and spring is in the air I was wondering how many of you out there met your match on the internet? I live in a relatively small town in the Midwest and there is still a great deal of social stigma to finding a match on the net. I think relying only on a match making site to find love is a bit limiting since you are ruling out the old fashioned ways of meeting people. Have any of you used one of those sites? Did you meet a match another way that was internet based?

I have met two of my ex boyfriends online. One of them is still my best friend. At the same time though, I've also met some not so nice guys off the net. I don't think that there's a problem with meeting someone off the net. I do think you need to be really, really careful though before meeting them. Exchange e-mails for a few weeks first, if you still like the person start talking on the phone. Try to get to know the person as much as you can through the phone before meeting the person. I don't think using the net is limiting, because you're more likely to meet people that you wouldn't meet otherwise. You can always go about meeting people both ways.

Here in town we have a site called mojo. It is a combo site where people meet and greet online and at selected events like parties, clubs, dinners, community help projects. It is aimed more toward people my age (40) and seems to be taking off on gang busters. Anyone else out there ever try these social networking event sites too?

well i met my beloved on the net, but i didnt use dating or match sites. i just was in a chatroom. that was a great luck to be in the same room at the same time, but u know it was destiny. i generaly think that everyway for meeting love is good. although they say that u never know who is the person in net, and u wont find out if u dont try him/her. same as u i live in a town, and i would never find in reality someone like him, so basicly that was the reason i reached to internet in finding someone to talk to, but instead i found someone to love, isnt that just great? :) i wish u all the same.

As a single parent I didn't have time to get out. Between the job and the kids I was not in position to meet many new women.

I did use one of the online dating services and I met a truly wonderful woman. We lived less than 2 miles from each other. We probably never would have met otherwise.

We are now in our third year of being together.

Forget what anyone might say about meeting someone online. Just take it slow and you'll find someone that's right for you.

I like using the social network site rather than an online dating site. I feel that all I need to do is find events and gatherings of people that share the same type interests that I do. So far it is working out ok. I will keep on trying.

Yes I have meet people online from match sites, and from other things as well, forums, groups etc. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't.

The man I am with now is someone I meet online. We have been together for 5 years.

When a friend of mine heard how we meet she went out got a computer, and meet the man she is with online. He is also from midwest and transferred to east coast since she had a better paying job and a house, he found work here.

They have been together for a couple of years now.

So it is possible, to meet someone online from match sites, it is also possible to meet someone online whom you end up chatting with, either in game room sites, forums, or other formates.

Good luck to you.

I just use the social networking site to meet new groups with similar interests. Dating or match sites dont really do it for me
