I remember before When I was in College.and cyber chat was introduced in 2000 .I was so addicted in chatting different nationalities before in romance site. I met Indian online and we had a relationship over internet. He is Indian but working in Abu dhabi, UAE. He sent me cards pictures on courier ( since there is no webcam yet on that time). and called me on land line ( and cellphone is not yet popular that time)We exchange email for more than a year.Till he decided that he is not going to India to have his leave because he will wait for me since during that time I am in my 4th year college and graduating. Then I applied for a job abroad going to Dubai to work there so we can be together and plan for our future. but I got a wrong recruiter and was been fake twice. He has so upset that I was not able to come on the time frame he said. sine he give me an ultimatum as he want to prove if I am serious to him. He said when he take a vacation in India.His parents will force him to have a fixed marriage as part of their tradition as far as I know. Then I told him that It's not my intention not to go there I just became of victim of illegal recruiter.Then He said he has nothing to do but to go there. And That is the end of our relationship He sent me pictures of their marriage of his new wife which only then he met.of course I cried and I never used internet for months. Til I decide to move on and find someone knew again over internet.Then I met this second guy we both are the same filipino. and just met in Mabuhay Chat. This guys works in Hongkong and he sent me a solo photo in email and he really look like an actor for he is so handsome and have a nice built. Then just like the first one we had a relationship and we do exchange email,, telephone calls and later since cellphone is getting to be popular he sent me cellphone , cards and solo pictures by courier.then he decided to come here and visit me personally.I was afraid for my look doesn't fit to his looks My face is just ordinary. I am not ugly but have an average beauty only unlike him .I had inferiority complex. I rebond my hair, I buy new clothes before the day he arrived here.Then I rent a van since he said he will be the one to pay for it. We talked before the specified time He asked me if i do really love him or just it's his physical appearance whom I love,I said of course I do love you for what you are in whole, and I said how about me if you see in person looks uglier than picture. HE also said the same.Then on February 13 5pm if I am not mistaken with the date,His arrival in NAIA.I with my friend as my companion waited him for almost 1 hour. the plane came from Hongkong I look at him,then the second plane coming from Japan. So I was on doubt. He might fooled me. Then suddenly my phone rang. and I saw the one who is ringing my phone.He wears red too as what he stated with Hard rock printed on that jacket. And this guy is opposite in the photos. He look old, ugly, and not as tall. And he saw me. I turned around I was surprised.And laugh. I didn't get mad on him i just laugh instead since I did love him for what he is. I accepted him for who we are even though he is double my age.He stayed with me for a week then came back after two months,but later i found out when I came back to mabuhay chat to visit other chatter there and tell our stories one of the girl there told me he met that guy before we met and he leaved him because he found out that this guy is not really telling the truth and he also have his own family in Hongkong. It's seems my world crushed when I heard that. He gave me the telephone number that she researched and found in the directory and dialed that number.And his mother answered it I introduce myself and she answered .. girlfriend? how can she have girlfriend.He already have wife and two kids.I confront him on telephone and he still lied and said it's their neighbor here from their old house in manila.And He treaten me If i wouldn't believe to what he said he have no option but to end our relationship.and since I am not ready to leave him. I still continue to have a relationship with him for months but I researched about him secretly and later I found out He was been married for more or less two decades and his wife is a manager in a bank in Hongkong.so that is the time I decided to leave him and find the right one for me. It tooks 9 months before I find a new one but no in chat again. I stop chatting since then. I just met this guy here in our place and He is the father of my daughter.

Gosh that sounds awful the online realtionships that you went through. I would never meet someone like that who lived so far away. An hour would be my limit. I once was going to meet a handsome older man. The day we were to meet up I looked up online to find information about him and found that he had a violent past with his wife. I was dealing with enough issues with men in my life in the past I didn't want to be involved with anything like that again. I never felt safe meeting anyone from online like that again and got off the online dating sites for good. I am glad that you found your husband and are happy now and are no long dating online these lying men.

That's why I never mess around in chat rooms because they are full of scammers and people who do not tell the truth. It's not safe I tell you so don't do it. I suppose there may be successful story here and there but long term I have found it to be a wasteful time.
Some of the best place to meet a nice partner that may be compatible are laundry mats, church, supermarkets, and a trusted friends house which is how I met my wife of 30 years now. Maybe it's just me but I think the desires of ones heart are close to home. What do you think people?

thank you. and congrats that you are 3 decades being together as husband and wife. I believe whether in chat, in Penpal site and everywhere. As long as you prayed to God HE will send you in whatever ways it may be. and also if it is really meant for you.it's not only friend of mine I have heard that got married from chatting but also from my friends friend from our neighbor before who also got married because of chat and other interviewee couple in TV show who have been married because of chatting. So it's not because I have bad experience in chatting I would say that it's not good to chat. as my self do chat before and I am not a scammer and not lying on my chat.My purpose in chatting before is to find a boyfriend and or husband but just got unlucky. So there is still people who can be like me whom their purpose is to find their soulmate over net with other nationalities.

By the way in addition to my story the filipino guy from hongkong who fooled me. HE is a organist in their church.I also caught him during searching that after me she is writing to a Highschool student near our region whom he will be next victim.so I can also say he is a also a Playboy.although when he moves and talk you will think he is a gay.

Churches and other venues for religious activities are places where most honest and truthful people go. Those are definitely good places to find one's potential long term soul mate :)

I also had a chatmate from India in 2004, I think. He was younger than I am. But he talks real neat. He doesn't sound like he was that young. He talks a lot of sense. I just stopped chatting when he wanted to come to the Philippines to see me. Well, of course, I was already married then, and he knew that. He said that he was so fond of me. Well, I thought that he may be falling in love with me and I don't want to give him false hopes. So I quit chatting with him.

I have a funny story about chatting but not mine, it's a friend's experience. She and her highschool friends got addicted in chatting and every lunch break they go out to find a net cafe to chat. Then one time she along with her friends got so engrossed chatting to a guy online becuase they were joking and he's joking back, but my friend noticed something, in a group of males in other side, they were laughing almost the same time with them, so she investigates. Turned out they were chatting those kids on the other side of cafe and they've been fooled as much as they were trying to fool guys online..
