Hello, this is an interesting question that I like to post. And given this, I would also like to share my story. A few years ago, I joined a dating site for the purpose of fun and satisfying my curiosity. I heard that people finding lovers thru the net was on the rise! I honestly thought that things like these are for the hopeless desperadoes. Out of pure sheer fun I decided to join. Whatever u may call it...fate, karma, or destiny is up to you. I met a lot of losers but there was one who totally stood out and was really fun to talk to. Before I knew it, I was in love. His name was "J" (initials) and he was from the US army serving in Iraq. He was sweet, funny, and amazing and it helped that we are both young!! I heard a story once that my mother told me that women in my family ended up falling in love with the man they supposedly hate- In my case----American, Soldier, Tall, Caucasian, and divorced at 23! "J" was a quadruple yikes!! Time passed and he visited me in the Philippines and we realized that we really do care about each other. Although we still communicate and the wedding bells are long echoes away, I know that we will always be friends. So now, I know that people have impressions as to these kinds of things so I want to know your opinion whether positive or otherwise. I am very open to discussions. Some say mine was rare. Coz normally Old men and young women are the ones who meet thru the site and fall in love so calledly. But in our case, me and J are both young. He's now 24 and i'm now turning 23. So come on please feel free to post ur opinions.

Yea thats great in one way, are you sure you know him for sure that he is you, am just a little concerned dont end up regretting, my one time experience is enough for me to prove it. There are lot of nice guys out there, and that there is no difficult in finding one too, as it is i hate dating site, who knows when you'll end up meeting dirty peoples. well am only 20yrs nw,and you can consider me as your bro,i would not accept you running away with some guy you never met.plz do your thinking well.

Hello fireheart!! Thanks so much for reading my story. To be honest, we still need to get to know each other so much. True that we met thru a dating site and we just met last year. As to how nice he is, I think i may be biased since I really do like him. And for the record, we met---he met my family, and friends. So i guess it's ok. hummm

think i missed some point in your post that you have already met and loves each other, if thats the case go ahead follow your heart,there is nothing that stops you.first let your parents accept this too,after all they are the ones who bought you up. Just to add up know him well,be sure he is good for you.gd luck dear.tell me if you are married.
