I actually do not believe that meeting people online is a good way to find love, but it happened to me! I did not go online looking for love, but I met my husband one day in a chat room. We hit it off right away in there, became friends through email. We were both in relationships at the time, but both of our marriages were already rocky. After we left our respective spouses, we decided to take our friendship to the next level and we met in person. 3 years after that we were married and celebrated our 4 year anniversary on Feb 14, 2007.
Has anyone else met the love of their life online?
Has anyone met someone online and the relationship fizzled?
Did you go online looking for love or was it a chance meeting?
Would you recommend this method of meeting a future mate?

Congratulations! We met in a Lycos chat room. It was his first time ever in a chat room.

Well, some online relationships do work, and congratulations on your 4 years of marriage. I believe that if you are single and looking for someone special, then it is fine to look for someone on the net, but keep in mind that people can be anyone on the net and the person you talk to online might be very different off line.
I do not believe that if you are married that you should be getting involved with someone on the net even if you are in a miserable marriage. In my opinion that is just looking for a way out. I have always believed that you should end that marriage first and give yourself time to heal.
An old neighbor of mine met a guy online. She moved in with him and he molested both her little boys, so it does not always work out like someone hoped.
Again congrats on your happiness.

Actually I did not go online looking for someone. It was completely a chance meeting and we did not become romantically involved until much later. We were friends.
I don't think people should go looking online for love, like you said, the person you are talking to could be anyone. It is so easy to lie over the net.

there are many kind of meetings that ends up in a relationship but let us not discount the fact that love is everywhere and can happen to anyone - online included.
we develop feelings for someone through time and i guess chatting often with them online is part of it.. though it can be very hard as you have not physically seen what he is like, how he gets angry or how he reacts to a situation and vice versa.
it is best that we understand the people who have fallen in love over the net... after all.. feelings are realy whenever, wherever it is manifested.

I think it can work if both were honest to portray who they really are in person. I know and I believe most people pretend to be better than they are actually are. They say they are very outgoing but actually not.
