The same thing happened to me and my fiance, he was only 10 minutes away from me and we met online, a match made in heaven. In some ways I think meeting online, breaks barriers down and it's easier to be yourself. Best wishes to all!

Thanks for your respond. Your story proves that sometimes love may ends up in a funny way, i mean, u would not have expect to meet someone online, who turns out, to be staying only 20 mins away...my best wishes to you and your husband for the days to come! :)

We're not from different countries, but we're from different US states. You hear so much about child predators and psychopaths going online, and you never hear of any of the success stories like us. I've been with my bf for 3 years now, and we met online. We're met and I even spent the summer at his place in GA (I live in NY). I'm glad that there are others out there like me! Congrats on finding your soul mate, too. It's a good feeling, isn't it? ^^ I feel like sometimes people don't understand when I tell them I met my bf online. I didn't go looking for a mate on a dating service or anything.. it was more of an accident.

Well said! I got the same response too when I tell people how i met my bf (especially when Malaysia is more conservative when it comes to online stuff), the funny look in their face sometimes made me wanna defend myself by saying more...but as time passes, I dont bother explaining at all, what matters is that we're together, he's great, my family loves him! Anyway, thanks for your reply and my best wishes to you and you bf! Hope to hear wedding bell soon!

Hi euniceeleanor Congrats for being lucky. Things may not be smooth always. All may not be lucky like you. It may be tabken as the first step but later you have to be careful in all aspects until marriage is confirmed. By best wishes to both of you.

One can find their soul-mate anywhere I think. With the advent of the Internet, if anything, it should make it easier I should think, because it does open up the world, rather than just letting us see one small part of it. Web TV had just come out...I was a single mom and invested in it for my 2 older children for Christmas that year, but with the caution that they were not allowed to enter the realms of chat, based on stories I had heard. They of course begged and pleaded to go to chat lol.... So one day, when they were both out, I logged on and found my way to chat to see if it was as bad as I had heard and if I should reconsider. My now husband (and most assuradely my soul-mate and Great Love of this Life), was working for the Network I first headed to, running a Help Room...so he ended up being the very first person I ever chatted with and his Help Room was the first chat room I ever rencountered...hummm see what being on-line will get you ;P

overall, i would have to say that meeting someone online is possible. i got to know a woman, who poses to be someone she's not, sending 'modified' picture of herself, trying to get sympathy from men that she's sick and dying and needs money for treatment. Men will send in money to her willingly even before meeting her up in person. Coming to know that cases like that is happening around, I do want to hear some positive comments about that online dating is good after all. Thank you for your respond. My best wishes to you and your family!

I understand all too well about the deception that can happen on-line. My Brother-in_law invested nearly two years in an on-going relationship on line. Each time they had a "date" planned or a meeting, she would come up with an excuse to break it, etc... He had all kinds of pictures of this woman...a very attractive lady... they chatted on the phone all the time etc... He even nursed her through her "bout with cancer" via the net (she refused to let him visit in the hospital because she "didn't want him to see her so sick". The woman sounded way too good to be true...a very young widow, whose husband had left her very financially secure...looked like a Playboy bunny but said she sang in the church choir every sunday..oh and let's not forget about the racecar and garage hubby left behind that she managed now...and all the rental property...but she still worked full time as a nurse because she enjoyed helping people so much*sun rolls her eyes*...It just went on and on....He had so much emotionally invested in this woman, really beleived she was THE ONE...FINALLY, after a couple of years....she came clean...sent him a real pic (no clue who all the pics were she had sent previously) she was 20+ years older than she had claimed to be...and not one thing, from her physical appearance through the rest of her story, proved to be true...and get this...SHE was irate with him when he said NO MORE after that LOL...She just couldn't seem to grasp it wasn't so much about her age, looks or situation as it was all the lying and deception. I think sometimes people forget there are real human beings with feelings and emotions behind all those little pc monitors and too many treat it as just a game, hiding behind the annonimity the computer allows for.

Hows your Brother in law now? Hope that he is able to move on in life. That's a terrible thing for her to do..2 years? Did he send money to her ever? I've got to know that men sends this woman (the one i was referring to above), a lot of money every month and I imagine the horror of the men when they found out that not only were they being cheated of their love, time but also money. Thanks for sharing with us! My best wishes to your BIL! and dont give up, there's a lot of lonely people out there seeking for the 1 true one online.

I met my fiancee on yahoo personals. We talked for 7-8 months and then met in person. After 6 weeks he asked me to marry him and I said yes. So it is definately possible. I dont know where I would be if I had no met him.

Anything is possible. My hubby and I know a few people that have met online and have gotten married. I think your better off doing so, because, if you can chat it up online then you've already overcome the most awkward part of dating, "talking". Last year, back in the summer, my moms best friend introduced her to a nice guy who resides in North Carolina. We live in Michigan. Believe it or not, they maintain a relationship talking on the phone on a daily basis. This has gone on for over a year. I really believe when they are both ready, they'll get married.

initially i was bit apprehensive. but seeing friend tieing knot with someone she met online and getting well together for 4 years now, i think it's agrreable. we can never tell when and how love happens. it just happens. finding love online is the in thing now, coz i think the amount of time we devote in here is okay to know someone. as far as true identity disclosure is concerned i am not atall apprehensive. meeting personally and having a close talk even can't get us close to the true self of a person. all the best to you two.

if you want to find someone online...it's good to be sceptical ...but dont over do it and that you will seem unapproachable...if it could work for me, it could work for anyone...afterall, i once swear off guys as i thought good men dont exist anymore LOL. All the best to you, my friend!
