    Anyone ever been in a relationship with someone they met on the internet?

    Just curious? Where on the internet did you meet them? How did you feel about it? Did you get to know them pretty well?


    I was looking on Craigslist, out of curiosity, and I actually saw a cute one, and he seemed cool so I replied to his post. We've been E-mailing for about a week, and I think he's a really nice guy. Just kinda nervous though...

    Yea i met my current bf on myspace.
    Neither of us was looking for someone but he emailed me asking if i went to such and such school(i didnt) but we just kinda hit it off and talked for maybe 6 months before we finally met. neither of us was too comfortable meeting someone off the internet but we finally did and have been together 2 years.
    We used to feel kinda embarassed about but now its like whatever.

    The first guy I met online ended up being my bf. I moved down to SD for him and me. Turned out horrible but truly it was clouded by my young 19 year old brain. I met him on AOL. We talked for months and I flew out there 3 times to see him. We broke up 3 months after I moved out here.

    Now that I'm a bit older I have better judgment and have had good meetings with other guys from online. Nothing turned into relationships though.

    Cool...yeah, I'm just kind of taking it slow, and we're doing the question asking through E-mails. He's a pretty sweet guy.

    I've done it since before I knew better. I met the guy I lost my virginity to online (although he DID already know people I know so... it was sorta like I could have met him somewhere else lol). There were some others, but nothing that stands out.

    Then I started on BDSM site recently and have met 3 guys from there. Honestly, they were pretty boring except the one last night so I didn't hang out with them too much. I always tell people where I'm going, the person's name, and meet at a public place.

    I take FOREVER to meet someone offline though, especially from the BDSM site 'cause ... well... it's a site about hurting people. Gotta be careful.

    When i was in high school I had a blog, and this is going to sound like some creepy guy prowling for girls on the internet, but i swear it's not. I had a blog. I've always been a pretty talented writer- writing and ranting about social injustices and politics and anything and everything. It was a pretty popular blog, I had a LOT of readers, and a local radio dj who was quite older than me (8 years) started reading it, not knowing how old I was, because I didn't talk about my personal life. He would always leave comments on my page, and I'd leave comments on his, ( I knew how old he was) and we talked on the internet and phone for about 3 months, before we decided to meet up. We met, and then we dated for about 6 months. It was a great relationship and I learned a lot from it, there was no negativity at all, he treated me the best out of all of my boyfriends. The only bad thing about it was that I had to lie to everyone about how old he was because they wouldn't approve. I was 16 and he was 24. I was not taken advantage of, abused, there was no abuse of power or coercion at all.
    "Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above."

    No. I do not believe in this. In order to have a relationship with someone you have to be near them, so you (and they) can see all of those intangibles that make people who they are.

    Plus online someone can be anyone.

    Not dating online. MEETING online....getting to know a little bit about each other, and then meeting when I feel comfortable meeting him....and then going from there.

    I've dated a few people from online..made a few friends from the internet and we eventually got around to seeing eachother. It was cool in my experience.

    Look, sure it's possible (put the way you put it) but the logistics are rough. If you live in New Mexico and your paramour lives in rhode island what do you do?

    My belief is that you can have friends online, you can have online crushes, but finding LOVE online is like the lottery. A relationship is supposed to be something greater than all of the above, leading to something even greater than that. To use terminology from a favorite boardgame of mine: Monopoly. If you can't get to your goal and you have to cheat to skip spaces, how can you get to boardwalk (Heck even Marvin Gardens)? But you can sure as hell wind up in jail (figuratively).

    I just don't believe in online romance unless you live near the person you met online. If they live within like 200 miles, sure. If they are in barrow alaska and you are in corpus christy, texas, little bit of a problem.

    I met my boy online, lol on alt.com to be exact, how's that for a story you cant tell your mum?? we are getting married in September and have a beautiful baby, so I would say it has been fairly successful.

    It was just meant to be a fun fling, but we fell in love. I loves him

    I met my partners through the internet, but not on any kind of dating or personals service -- rather, on a mailing list for a mutual interest.

    My current wonderful partner/boyfriend I met via AussieMatchMaker

    ( We actually play around on AMM and OasisActive together thru each others' profiles.. hehehe)

    We talked online chat for a bit, then got him to download Skype.. so webcam chat for a bit.. then I met him... and it's been great ever since!

    After it happened to me, yes I do believe you can find love on the internet

    HOWEVER

    he lives on the Gold Coast so that is what helps this love blossum - he's only a half hour drive away from me.

    I would never consider getting involved with someone from outside the South East Queensland region (maybe Tweed Heads .. no further!)... as you do need that physical-ness... that being able to spend time WITH each other for the relationship to flourish.

    It has happened pretty fast for me however ultimately.. this works. it's awesome.

    I met my ex boyfriend on plentyoffish.com and he was the first really serious boyfriend I had and my first experience with living with a SO.

    And funny enough, I also met my husband on the internet. I had a blog, he found it through doing a Google search on a car, and he happened to live in the same city.

    Talk about eerie coincidences, eh?

    I honestly think some people meet better face-to-face and others meet better by correspondence.

    Before I met either of them, my husband had met our wife via a pen pal club in the 90s. I met him on the net in 2004, then met both of them in person that spring before getting involved. We were about 120 miles apart, but I moved down here in the fall of that year.

    I once got involved ("went steady") before meeting someone in person, and that was disastrous, though. One must establish chemistry at some point.

    i like dating online, you can weed out the assholes before you even meet most of the time. im currently talking to someone i met on myspace and things are working out really good.

    Yes. 3. None have 'lasted' in the permanent sense of a relationship, but maybe next time.

    1st was in a chat room about a mutual hobby.

    2nd was in a dating site for expats in Brussels.

    3rd contacted me through SW!!

    Needless to say, the 3rd was super-hot, but it was also the shortest of the three.

    From the male perspective, female weirdos and nutcakes seem to be everywhere too. I'd suggest that - from the female perspective I see here and my own experience - the average dating site has equal numbers of male and female wackos. That sort of suggests that society as a whole, or the internet, has a lot of them...

    when I was like 15 I would chat with other kids my age on aol and meet up with a lot of them. I met one of my best guy friends like that and we are still friends today.

    I've dated a ton of people I've met online... mostly all from my sportbike forums, though... (like SW for local SoCal riders... there are 2 main boards of really tight-knit people). Not quite the same as match.com or something, which is definitely not something I'd do... I'm all about the face to face, or at least an online forum where enough people have met/ridden with you to know if you're a dick or not.

    I met my current boyfriend from a riding forum... I really liked his posting style and when I finally met him in person I was really excited to find out he was GORgeous too.
