Internet Love Relationships- do they work?

I admire you, my dear! This is someplace I have fear of going! I don't know why...I guess I have seen too many talk/horror shows. My only experience was with a girlfriend, she went crazy, shortly after she lost her husband, in the shortest period of time imaginable, she met and married two "internetters"...both were horrible experiences..and I was there holding her hand! I am not very good at judging people unless I can see their eyes, and hear their voices....and I do not trust my judgement with these two viables. Good luck...be cautious. Smiles.

I actually met my wife online...have known her for about 12 years...in August will be married for 9.

You have to chat in chatroom that have people in your area. It's easier to meet and to find love :P I've met my boyfriend on the internet. We were chatting for 2months before we decide to meet each other. WE where having some feeling for each other online, but we couldnt say we were in love until we met. When we met each other it was almost love at first sight. 4 days after our first meeting we were going out with each other. We have been together for 4 1/2. We have our house and now a beautiful son also :) So you an really find true love on the internet :)

I have never tries to find someone significant on net. i never feel it safe myself.But i have seen a friend of mine got his GF from chatting online only. after that he met her. it was good for him but not for all i guess.OPne must be careful in online relationships.

I think it can work but you have to be smart about it. It is so easy to present yourself as someone you are not on here. It is in person too. You have to take time and get to know the person. When you finally meet in person then you should meet in a public place. Get to know the person a bit before bringing him to your home or going to his. I have a friend that was famous for travelling to meet guys she'd met online. She got herself into some pretty hairy situations. yes, I do know people who have met and had wonderful friendships and relationships. I think you just have to be careful

To be honest with you I would not use the internet as a means of dating, I am married so I wouldnt be looking anyway, but if we ever split up I would not meet anyone off the internet. There are lots of nice stories where people meet online and find real happiness in real life, but there are also some not so nice stories. It always shocks me that people meet off the internet and within a couple of weeks they are living together. On the internet you can be who you want to be, you can hide behind a facade of make believe and pretend. I think you have to be really careful but it is not impossible to meet someone.

Well, this is my brother's story. He met his wife online while they were both in college. They spent time online and also traveled to each other's home states to visit, and she came down here for graduate school. They got married and celebrated their 4th year anniversary last month.

I met my husband on the internet. It's been about 10 years now since we first met online and about nine years since we met offline. :) I wasn't really looking to meet someone online at the time, and in fact had a couple of half-hearted romantic entanglements going on offline during the time my husband and I were talking (as friends) online. In fact, my husband was one of the people I would come home from a date and call to talk about it with, and that sort of thing. So it was really funny when I started realizing how much I liked him, and I was kind of embarrassed to tell him at first because I had just ranted at him about some guy I knew online telling me he loved me. Hehe. I think our situation worked out well, but it wasn't the typical "online dating" situation. We didn't use a dating site, and we weren't thinking about getting together when we first started talking.

Well the internet is where I found my husband, but I had to go through ALOT of "frogs" to get my prince. It was worth it he treats me like the Queen that I am and I treat him like the King he is..We met on a dating website.

Even as a young person (only 21! :D) I am worried that I will be alone in my old age. Luckily, my boyfriend of seven months treats me very well and I could see myself being with him for a long time. If I was older, in my 40s and 50s, I think I would try looking online for company. :) Broaden my horizons, especially if I was working.

Yes it worked for my cousin sisters husbands brother.he was chatting on yahoo messenger after chatting for some days they became friends,then they sent their photos to each other and both of them liked each other and got married.

I've been with internet love relationship for almost a year... But it didn't work... I can say...U cant trust someone you haven't seen yet... You cannot see if they're sincere or not... since you don't know whats their attitude, or their business after you've talk... All the while you're expecting a positive result from your partner And doing good for the benefit of your relationships... but without knowing, he's doing same thing with someone else... It hurt.. isn't it?Sad to say... But I've gone with that thing... The good thing their is... "You got some QUALITY TIME sharing WEIRD THINGS""A WILD DREAMS"

yes lots of individual succeed on this kind of relationship but we can't deny many also failed...i have a neighbor being a victim...they rush to the near airport to see his chatmate but 24 hours passed they don't see the person even his shadow...this might happen to any, so be careful of doing this online relationship.

I guess for some this works. Many women today are going online to look for a mate and it usually wokrs for them. They would find love, get married, and have a happy life. Maybe they are just lucky to find the right one on the net. I have tried that before, chatting wiht guys and thinking that I am "inlove" with some of them. Well most of them just played around, but there were some who were serious. But it did not get too far. I did not want to meet with any of them. It was just constant chatting, text messaging and voice calls. For me, chatting is just one way of releasing my stress and finding a little bit of laughter with my chatmates.
