My marriage broke up a good few years ago and I have been on my own with my 3 daughters. Late last year I decided to try an on-line dating site. The first guy I met was not great and tried to grope me. The second guy I met was really nice and we got on well but niether of us wanted much commitment to each other. Then another guy contacted me and we started talking to each about 9 weeks ago. He lives about 2 and a half hours away from me. He has come up to see me for two weekends in a row and I feel like I am in love already. I am far from a stupid person and I cant explain my feelings. I find myself talking about the future with him and he is looking for work in my area.
Has anyone else had a situation like this? Did it work out? Am I rushing things?

...my sister met her husband 'online' at a local dating website. As her big sister, of course I told her to only meet in public and all, for quite awhile, but what did she do? she makes a date to meet him at a "park and ride" parking lot, jumped in his truck and they went to his house where he took care of his ailing (dying it turns out) father. (I found this out later!) But it worked out.. he wasn't a predator/killer/ax murderer.. but a very nice guy. She'd been talking on the phone with him for a couple of months. And now they are very happy! I also have a cousin who is also happily married to someone she met on the world wide web... Though I don't know the details of their meeting, etc.
- so I think yes, it can definitely work out, but people are wise to take common sense precautions.. check out the name and person with their local authorities to make sure you're dealing with a person who is who they say they are! And make sure the person knows that everyone you know, knows their name and address, etc! As it is documented that many people go missing these days, many with questionable internet contacts...
All the best!:)
