has anyone met their lover online??? is really working out??
I see so many commercials and advertising about eharmony and stuff like that. Whatever happened to meeting someone the old fashioned way.? I met my husband while working with him a long time ago.

i met my husband on aol a little over 9 years ago. i dont see online meeting working out any differently than meeting someone in a bar or at work or other "old fashioned ways". people either get along well, or they dont.. internet meeting makes it easier to meet people without having to go hang out in a bar with a bunch of people you already know spend their free time getting drunk. i veiw that as a very good thing.

yer absolutely right mommyboo.. when i met my husband in aol, he didnt have a picture to email me, and yes, i was mad in love with him before we met face to face without ever KNOWING his face until he pulled into my driveway moving his things into my house. appearances didnt matter, my heart simply couldnt live without him. i got lucky tho in the appearance aspect as well tho.. hes a hottie

When you meet online, you also get to talk to each other, and your friendship or relationship is based on communication and how you connect, not anything necessarily physical. People who meet online also get to skip the awful one liners and pick up lines and the rude staring that takes place in every bar that exists. By the time you meet in person in some cases, you're already in love with all of the parts that matter, and adding the physical to it just completes the picture.
As much as it is a turn on to be called beautiful by someone who loves you, it's also exciting to hear they love you for other, just as important reasons as well.

I met my partner online 7 years ago, we chatted for a while before meeting and since that first meeting have been a couple ever since. We have a fantastic relationsip made even more special since having our two little girls. So for us it really worked although I know some people dont have as much luck as we did.

I love to hear about other online-met couples =) So many people would make comments like 'how do you know he's not an axe-murderer'... lol! Granted I did tease my husband about it and he said that he had a whole pile under there, I could take my pick.

My husband and I met on line one night 4 years ago, when I was "hiding" from my Dad at a family gathering. LOL Dad was playing some really lousy music that was driving me nuts, so I went downstairs, turned on my computer, and that was the night when I met my husband. ;-)
We have been married for almost 8 months now, and things are absolutely fantastic!!
Dad's just arried in Arizona, and tomorrow he and my step-mother are going to meet my husband for the first time. That's definitely oing to be interesting.

I my6self have dated several men form online, they did not work out, but they were certainly nice adventures anyway, well most of them were . A few were , kina like run, run, run for the hil's lol.
But my youngest sister met her husband on line and they are very happy, and are exspecting their fourth child now. So it does work for some, but not all. It is just another way to meet folks. Which at times can be hard if you don't go out to much or hang at bars ect...Oh just so you know, the guys I met on line were usually much better then anyone I ever met at a Bar

I have met a number of people online. I can think of atleast two girls that I have met online .. One of them I started going out with and we really had something there. The other had a boyfriend when we met in real life .. But we used to like eachother for a long time before we had actually met. I think that it is interesting to meet people online .. Though it can be awkward at first meeting them in real life, thats for sure!

i think that it could work but i mean yo uhave heard so many stories about people not being exactly who they say that tehy are so i think that as long as you are careful then you can be successful like that but i mean i prefer the older way of just seeing the girl going up to her and then seeing if things work out from there...but thats just me
