Internet Girlfriend - Very Nice!

A few months ago, my brother met a young girl on the internet. I can't remember if it was through Facebook or My Yearbook, but.... He had gone up to visit her, it was a 3 hour drive, and although they had never met each other in person right up until the time he went up to visit her, he had already told me that he loved her. When he stayed with her, for the weekend, he met her son, and enjoyed his time with her. When he came back I asked him questions about his stay, I was a bit worried about him going up there, but he told me that it went better than he expected, and they both hit it off. Even her 8 year old son, warmed to him straight away.
Anyway, she came down here to stay with my brother at my parents house for the weekend. She came on her own, as her son stayed with her Mother. The first time I met her, she was very friendly.. chatted to me straight away, you could tell she was nervous about staying, as she did not know any of us, but I have to say that I did not expect her to be as nice as she was, and I found it a shame that she had to go back home. Even both my kids got close to her. Jason, who is 9 asked her for her phone number, so he could talk to her. I told her that next time she comes, she should bring her son, and he could play with Jason. Hopefully she will come again when the kids are on thier summer holidays, and we can have a nice BBQ and swim in my mothers pool, the kids would love it.
Has anyone else met and fell in love with someone on the internet, or know of anyone who has? Me personally I could not do that, I prefer to get to know people in the flesh, but obviously judging on her, she really is lovely.

Well, I am living proof that love can blossom on the internet as I met my HUSBAND online, way back in 2003. I met him after about 3 months of chatting online. I knew what he looked like but he didn't know what I looked like but as soon as we met we kinda knew immediately that, one day, we would get married...and we did, in Las Vegas in April 2008. The proof is in my avatar lol.
I chose to commute from Preston (where I worked) to Carlisle every weekend for about 18 months. Then I made the momentous decision to move to Carlisle permanently, leaving my parents behind and my brother and nephew, who live round the corner from them.
The works side of things hasn't really happened for me but I have never regretted moving here and marrying John, so don't worry about your brother and his new-found internet love. It will work out fine, trust me!
Me and John didn't have children from previous relationships so I cannot say if that would've been troublesome or not...but I have high hopes for your brother and his new lady, I really do.

Awww.. that is an amazing story, I am pleased for you both, you obviously found a spark across the internet. I hope that they get serious together. She has told me that after a year of them being together she will make arrangements to move down here to be with him, and start a new life for her and her son here, as she loved it!
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Wow. Your brother really has a very nice thing going on there and so as the rest of you because of how his girlfriend he met through the internet has swayed and captured your hearts for just the weekend. She really is somewhat special and unique in her own kind as a single mother who delighted a newly met family. I wish you all the best especially for your brother. That just goes to show that we should never judge the book by its cover..
I don't have a personal experience with dating someone whom I met through the internet. I do have family friends who not only met their internet boyfriend/girlfriend but eventually settled down with them in the end. I really think destiny played a bigger role for letting two people meet even if they're thousand of miles apart.. Best of luck !

I know.... I did feel like I was judging her before I met her, because I wondered how she could allow a stranger to stay in her house when she has a young son, but I take it all back, she is lovely and I hope they go far together, they really are brilliant as a couple.

I do think so that destiny had something to do with it, no matter how many people tries to stop that kind of a relationship.

Love is blind and it comes in all forms... glad that your brother has found his love, even if it's true the net. Just like knowing someone from outside, one has to go through thick and thin, and to study each another character, whether there is chemistry and all that.

My husband and I met online in 2006, we talked on the phone and online for a few weeks before we decided to meet in person, he then started to drive 3 hours every weekend to see me. You never know who you'll fall for I didn't expect to find the love of my life online but I did, you can get to know someone really well over the phone I think, we talked as often as we could, sometimes for hours asked all kinds of questions really got to know each other.
That is really great for your brother though I hope it works out for him, and its great that you liked her.

i did that^^ i loved a guy through net but things didnt work bcs he didnt care for me enough. but me i really cared for him. i had the chance to date a guy that lived near me one that i met near my school and i didnt go on a date with him bcs i really love this guy. is possible to fall in love in many ways and net is also one of those ways. anyway you are right in person is better but what could i do? i loved him. but now things are over and im fine and dont feel nothing for him anymore but before i really did and things ended bcs he didnt effort as much as i did. anyway im so happy that your brother went to meet this girl^^ he really loved her even he didnt see her near before^^ thats so romantic^^ im very happy that she is sweet too bcs your brother deserves it after the sweet gesture he did^^ also her went to meet you and your family without know you guys^^ was brave of her side too. they are cute ^^

its pretty hard, but i guess your able to get to know them better(personality wise) and i guess you find out if you are compatible. i've met someone online, and they were cute in person but it just wouldnt have worked, but its not like we actually talked that much so i guess its just whatever your looking for. Just be careful and don't get raped. Love= unlikely, S**= possibility.

internet girlfriend. The topic is very interesting. but i want to make something clear that there is a fraud occurs on the internet. girls on the internet mostly prefer not to show their face during the chat because they think that if they disclose the face then may be the boy don't likes him and terminates the chat.

Hello Rosie,
he's lucky i guess and despite of the girl having a child, both of them loved him the way the day they saw him even though he's not the father. but in most cases people either don't end up being together or simply they get killed or raped because the one in the internet couldn't afford to be real all the time. to others who are also doing this, be careful.

It really depends, many are nice genuine people in the flesh, and some are very odd peculiar individuals who spend hours glued to the computer and internet. It is always best to be very careful, and personally i would never invite anyone I had only met a few times to stay in my home or to know exactly where I lived before I really got to know tham a significant amount of time in the flesh - there are very good actors around, and it is frightening sometimes how the 'real' person can be so different, I'm not saying that the lady who came to stay at your brother's house was a fake, but better be surprised and glad that the person turns out to be genuinely nice rather than some pyschopath that turns up and you can't get rid of them... :)

I know a friend of mine who met a guy through chat. After months of chatting they met and they got married. She only found out later thet he was already married to another girl. She had to spend a lot of money and valuable time in getting divorce. She also had to go through a lot of mental stress. Finally she was out of it. Now she is happily married for the past 4 years with a son. She has managed to overcome all of it.

That sounds like a good start. You hear so many 'horror' stories about people who meet over the internet, only to discover that they are not meeting who they expected to.
I wish them both the best.

That is nice. I hope she will continue to such forever. No, I haven't experienced anything like that. And from what you have narrated, it is clear that it is possible to meet someone you would like to have a serious relationship with on the net. It happened to your brother and I think there are a lot of others out there who are using the internet to find their one true love.
