who has met their guy online?

[sexykitty]

My fiance and I met online in December and are getting married in September. I had decided to be single for the rest of my life after several relationships ended badly, and then he IMed me. I almost told him to go away because I got so many of them when I was just trying to check my mail. I am so glad that I ended up talking to him. He lived 1 hour away from me and we ended up talking on the phone for about a week after chatting online for a week. We met in person about two weeks after first type and had a blast. I never thought I would find a man who is so perfect for me. He is the best man I have ever seen or met. Thank god for the internet. I always laughed at the thought, but it worked for me. Oh by the way, my brother and his wife met online a couple years ago. He was living in Nebraska and she was living in New Jersey. They have been married about a year now.

I met my current boyfriend online. No one really knows about that though, its kind of like our little secret. We started chatting on AOL. He IMed me first b/c he saw that I was in a town 5 minutes away from where he lived, and we started chatting. After about 3 months of talking, we met up at the college we both also happened to attend. I was sooooo nervous and scared, but we ended up having a great time. I was in awe. A couple weeks later we went to see a movie together. Again, we had an amazing time. But then, I didn't see him again for almost 11 months. I wanted to, but I knew it would be better to wait. At that time in my life there were so many things going on that I knew I couldn't devote the kind of attention to him that he deserved, and I was going through some pretty shitty things, and I didn't want it to bother anyone else. But anyways...we continue to talk online and he keeps bugging me to go out with him again.....almost months later I am online...and we talk about getting together for coffee or something. We made plans on Sept. 10th , 2001 very late at night to meet up the following day- Sept 11th. Eek. Little did either of us know that that day would be a very eventful one. It was a very scary day, and it was comforting to be with him. We had another amazing night together, and he joked around about how I wouldn't see him again for 6 months...and so I bet him that I would see him again very soon, and I think we went out again a day or two later. We totally hit it off. Neither of us was looking for a serious relationship at the time. I didn't expect one to happen. I just thought we'd have some fun for awhile, and that'd be it. But the two of us both fell for eachother.....awww....and a little less than 2 years later we're still together. We actually live together now.....we have since Aug. 02'. I love it. I couldn't be happier....well..I could be..if he'd marry me But I can wait. No one knows that we met online though. I think we both think its not really acceptable by our friends and family, so we just tell everyone that we met at college when they ask us.... Its somewhat true though since we didn't physically meet for the first time until we met at the college.

well I suppose I can add my little story too. I met my current GF online, she for the most part has progressed our relationship as I didnt want to seem like I was only out for sex (because I wasnt) she actually IM'ed me first...and now we have been together 4 months after talking online for at least 3 months. and she is wonderful, I am grateful that I did decide to meet her. I swore off meeting girls from the internet once a came across someone who wasnt who she said was. but I couldnt resist my girl :P

I was chatting to a guy online for just over a year before we decided to meet up, we "dated" for just over a year then things went kinda sour. But i'd recommend it even just for the experience of something new. It can't hurt!! Just as long as you take caution as there is too many weirdos out there!!!

I too thought he was the one! But unfortunately it didn't work out!

[Shygal]

I never really went into any great detail about my experience so here goes if anyone is interested in it!

I was the same I never even contemplated meeting a guy online, I was bored one night too and ended up chatting to a guy which went on for a few hours. We swapped email addressess and logged each other onto msn messenger where the chats could most nights see us chatting for at least 4hrs a night. I remember one night that we were chatting it started about 7:30pm and ended at 1:30am the next day. We both looked at the clock and said "I don't want this to end but I need some sleep".

We courted, I suppose that's what you could call it, for over a year online before we finally said "this is crazy, we need to meet each other". Let me point out aswell that we'd been texting like crazy all day everyday in an approx period of about 9 months before we met. We both knew everything about one another.

Because my story is getting a bit longer than expected i'll hurry up. We eventually met, had the best week ever and had a further more couple of holidays together, he was the perfect gentleman, wouldn't let me pay for a thing (that was weird though, i'm a girl that believes in going dutch!! I don't think a guy should be let to pay for everything, it's not right!!). Everything was great and we both fell in love and we were both virgins before meeting each other, I was glad that I lost mine to him, we communicated through emails, online and ocassionally on the phone. It was awkward on the phone though as he wasn't exactly comfortable on phones but amazing face to face.

All in all it didn't work out but i'm glad I at least experienced it and I have no regrets although it was sad that it didn't work out.

Oh dear.

Heh, my mother is someone who found herself an online romance. I believe they found each other through a dating site, not sure which one. First they started with emails, that lasted for sometime. And then came msn. We live over in Canada, B.C. He lives in Nigeria.

After some time he decided to come visit here, unfortunately, the Nigerian officials looked over his information, and rejected his Vesa because he was 'too' qualified. Imagine that. (Seems people like to visit here and get married to stay here. Ain't that funny)

Some time later, he offered to pay her way for her to visit him in China as he works there. Long story short - She is deliriously happy. She has been there for a little over a month and is going to be there until late January. They are now very seriously considering getting married.

I'm happy for her, she is over 50 and a very kind person. I love her dearly and she has made the life of my siblings and I a very good one. She has also gone through 3 bad partners. Each one worse than the other, the 2nd being my father who was seldom even present. I have only one real memory of him.

She finally got what she deserved.... Now I just dread her return. She's gonna tell me all about it... every little detail.

Hehe, everyone has such nice stories here. I actually met my ex girlfriend online too. Like all of you, we would talk for hours everyday. I remember sometimes on weekends we would chat seriously the entire day. We would also talk on the phone for hours and hours, it was all very great. But I don't know what happened and we broke up. It's funnny how things change, so my advice to you is just to ENJOY IT. Enjoy every minute of it!

That's how I met my current boyfriend *

Since the summer, I had been using a famous dating site on and off.. I did meet some people, but none of them were right. By December, I had pretty much given up on that site and on finding love online, and I had my final exams to focus on anyway. I traveled abroad for the holidays and I returned to find an email notification that someone had sent me a message. I checked it out, liked very much what he had to say and found that we have a lot in common. We chatted quite frequently, which went on to phone conversations and then we decided to meet- and it was great.

But it's always weird meeting someone online in real life. Even though I've done it before, you still feel nervous and scared. The important thing is to meet in a public place and leave if you feel uncomfortable.

Incidentally, I have an aunt and an uncle who both found the loves of their lives online, and married them
