To me it seems dangerous, but they say 4 out of 10 people that get married every year met on the internet (I heard that on tv last night)

I met my husband in the internet. Since we had the chat, we never stop communicating. He visit me in my home to show his good intentions. Our love story is different from the usual thing because he make it clear to me that he donnot want me to be his girlfriend but instead, he wants me to be his wife. So he never was my boyfriend because what he asked was to marry him and to be his wife. We just believe that God has His own way of making things happened and that He always have set somebody to be our lifetime partner that is why we decided to marry. I never had regrets in marrying my husband because until now, we remain strong, and we maintain the same trail like boyfriend and girlfriend and that seeing my 2-year-old son makes me realize that I really have made the right decision.

Meeting on the internet works. I have a friend of mine with whom i have been very close and i met her in a chat room. From then on, we really got acquainted and we really became very good friends after which we met in person and now we r excellent friends. Although she is from a very far place, we make a point to meet each other atleast once every month. But due to some very dangerous people, internet meeting is considered dangerous by some...

Also, I have met other ppl on the net; guys and girls. I've developed some wonderful friendships through the internet. I think as long as you practice common sense, it is very safe.

Yes I do think that meeting on the net works. I met my ex (before my current bf) on the internet and we were together for a great 8 months. We were truly in love and I believe we still have feelings for each other. We are still friends. I go to him for advice, and to vent. Why did we part...We were on different levels spiritually. Other than that, everything was great.

I think its fine as long as you can meet with the person and be secure. Long term internet relationships can work but in my experience they don't because i want some physical and closer to home. I met someone online and we were perfect together, was really happy but for some reason she would never come meet me. I put it down to her lying about what she looked like or situation (e.i. married, or has kids) and as often as i travelled to see her she neva came. Luckily i had friends in the area so i was never wasting a journey to just be sent back home. I think its ok to find someone for a relationship, but being involved with one online or long distance is something i personally would never do again.

I met my fiance on the internet. I don't see it as that big of a deal. It's not really any more dangerous than meeting someone anywhere else. Everyone has the ability to lie and everyone has the possibility of being some kind of criminal or something. It's like anything else, just use common sense. If something doesn't add up, don't got for it. When I was chatting the most, I met like four guys one year from the internet. They were all nice enough so I don't see the big deal.

I don't know about Tv but what i know it is really hard to find your true love on internet as almost 99.9% people on internet always tell lies about what they are and what they do and everything else that is related to them and to meet them personally is another big issue as while chatting you can not know the actual nature of that person so i strongly believe that one should avoid these kind of relations because that can be dangerous too so alway be reserved a little bit in order to get you on the safer side.
