I would say it is possible, just have to be more careful and aware that people can hide more behind a computer. What do you think?
-
Yeah i def think that you could meet the love of your life online..I did. I met my boyfriend of one year online and i we are talking about marriage and what not..and i love him so much
-
I agree that people can hide behind a computer. But people are not always genuine in person either. I defininely think it's a good way to get to know people you may have otherwise never met.

I think the idea of finding a partner online is stupid. Anyone who does this needs to get out into the world. I understand if you don't have time, but if you're really that eager for a partner that you can pay to join date sites and what not, make some time. ::)

Some people don't like meeting drunken bastards/sluts at bars. Unfortunately in a lot of places this is one of the very very few places to meet people.
I think it's fine. My moms coworker got married to a man she met online. Good couple. Contrary to that, my good friend met with 3 guys on match.com and they were all morons on the prowl for *bleep*. Personally I've never done it though I was forced by the same friend to produce a profile on okcupid but it wasn't in my blood to go any further with it.
But I go out on dates all the time. I met one girl on a train that hit a woman who commited suicide infront of it (it's a long story...). Strange meeting place, right? But I'm one to believe it's not too important where you meet...it's getting to know them and everything following that event.

I agree you get tp know the peson more :notworthy: :wave:

I met my husband of 3 years online =D ;D

I meant my bf online!!! I think other people can find love online!! Yea i had my doubts about what he was telling me but i took a chance!!! Everything he told me was true!!
-
Absolutely! I met my husband online in Jan. 2000. These have been the happiest 10 years of my life.
-
I met my wife online
-
I met my girlfriend online and we have been dating a year and a half now.
-
I met my boyfriend (going on six years) from an ad I placed on an online forum. I was just looking for more people to make friends with and he was the only one that stuck and we developed from there.
-
ONLINE DATING.... hmmm I have personally seen a friend of mine be drug through the mud by his so-called online girlfriend so many times it isn't funny but they always seem to get back together! ( i personally wouldn't do it but whatever floats your boat, We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them!)
-
I think it's a hit or miss type of situation.
I met my husband, married 2 years, together for 6, though a personals site. We met after talking for two weeks and have been together since.
On the other hand, a good friend of ours has had nothing but bad luck with his online choices. A lot of that, though, has to do with the fact that he isn't making smart decisions.
-
:heart:I have seen it happen. They have been married around 14 yrs. now.
-
yes it is possible i met my husband online and we've been married 2 yrs.and together 3

Although I have heard of several couples that met each other online, but I have also heard of several stories that have led to disaster. I dont think people tell the truth most of the time when meeting other people online. When not telling the truth it ends up with a relationship that wont last because it is based on Fake Facts. Not to mention how unsafe it can be. Just be careful what you say and what you do :)
-
I think its possible, but you definitely have to be very careful. I have met many people online and have found that they are mostly con artists or think you are stupid and desperate and will go along with them asking you to do something really stupid like sending them money. One day they will realize that all people are not that stupid and vunerable.
-
I think almost anything is possible. A friend met a guy online about a year or so ago, and now she's engaged.
-
One of my daughters met her husband online. They have been married for a year and a half and he is a really good guy.
-
Over the years I've thought good and bad things of Online dating... I think its much better than the Dating Reality shows like "The Bachelor"....I think dating online or offline is what you make it. You're going to meet a lot of losers...but every once in a while you'll stumble across a great one that makes up for all the rest. Remember....You have to kiss ALOT of frogs to meet the Prince :)
-
I found my love on PlantyofFish.com
There are a lot of freaks and pervs out there, but I bot lucky.
-
I'm proof. I met my boyfriend on-line and we celebrate our 3 year anniversary july 31st.
-
I actually have a friend who was lucky enough to meet her husband online.They have been married (happily) for about 6 years. Anything is possible :)
-
I met my husband online and we have been married for a year and 6 months.
-
Personally I don't by into the whole "match up on 29 dimensions" thing. I actually think this is just a marketing ploy to bate people into paying for a membership to these on-line dating sites. My best relationships were always based on two people making it work. Not compatibility or similar interests. I'll end with the quote "The best things in life are free..."
-
I do know several people that meet on line and got married and are very happy. Maybe thats what I need to do because everyone else I know are real meathead.
-
Would never consider it.......ever.
-
Meeting people online is no different than meeting them at church or in a supermarket. Love is a chance that we all should take

Uh, sorry but I'll have to disagree. People you meet at church, are in church for a reason. Many happy marriages started in church between 2 people. Church is a good place to gauge someone's character and spirituality. Supermarkets are a great place where people congregate, coffee houses, etc. At least you can see the person, talk to them in person, etc. We do not marry outside our Christian Faith as it tends to problems to be unequally yoked with someone who is not a Christian and you are. This forum ought to be a good example of that.
Online, a person can be posing to be anything. While you can meet someone online, you eventually have to meet them in real life anyway, and can you be very disappointed to find out they lied to you online. How could you trust them then? However, you have invested some time and emotions already online before meeting them. Better to get to know each other in person. I've heard too many horror stories of online dating.
There are some people here that have met their spouses online and it worked out.......That's okay for them. However, throwing the dice like that is real chancy.

:heart:It worked for my brother, been married over 10 years. I think both of them where very lucky, as far as one of them not being a nut case. I suppose it's just as safe as meeting someone in a bar or something like that.
