I met my late wife thru newspaper personals. It was a good marriage and we had a lot of fun until she passed away. Then a year or so later I met my current wife thru internet personals. We've been together 6 years now and it is a good marriage. Guess like anything else depends onthe couple. You can meet some real losers in church or at work too.

I've never met anyone through the internet. My first summer in college I tried to use the Yahoo! Personals service, but I got no responses except for people advertising their porn site services.

I've met a few of my girlfriends online, some of them worked out for a while.
I've gotten together for sex from an adult website with 2 seperate people. One of them we got together a few times.. Now, I'm engaged to someone I met on yahoo personals. a cute little story: Initially I saw her profile, mathing my age criteria, and she even lived in my town, but the picture was horrible.. initially i deleted her as a match. A few days later she sent me a message, and we started talking and we hit it off well, she send me another picture and HOLY COW! the first one was just a really bad pic.. not only did we get along great, but she was beautiful.to think.. i almost let her go because of the picture ! My Mom met her new husband from the Newspaper personals, and My dad met his new wife on yahoo personalls.. and they are both going well too.. |

I've met two people through the internet. The first I took out and we walked around the Mall of America for a few hours. Had fun but no 'click.' She then invited me out for her 21st birthday. Just before I met up with her she asked me to pick up her friend. I showed up stoned, the friend and I split a bottle of wine and then went out. After a night of hard drinking (on her part) we went back to the friends place and had some great sex. I've stayed in contact and have been dating her non-exclusively for the past 6 months or so. She came to see me in London and we traveled to Paris for new years together.
The other one I met we just hung out. I think that there could have been more but I wasn't feeling it at all. I'd like to meet more, though there is a certain stigma attached to it from people who don't do it.

i've been thinking about trying this out, but the only question i really have is how exactly, like in detail, did you meet the other person? i mean, did you join one of those pay sites like match.com or yahoo! personals? or did you just meet some one on a forum and then invite them to a private chat to get to know them better? basically what i'm saying is that i'm completely naieve when it comes to "meeting" people on the internet. i've never, ever, not even once in my life even had the opportunity to meet someone that i had only met on the internet. so, i don't really understand how it happens.

I started using the computer at 16. Thats how old I was when I met this guy from a local chat in my area. He is 5 years older then I. We have been living together for about 2 years and we have been dating for about 4 years. So ppl with daughters watch them on the net, or they might have the same thing happen to them. I mean I turned out okay but I was to young.

I agree that you really have to be careful, but I think it depends what you are looking for. I met a great friend on a mutual interest forum board, didn't know she was a she for the first year, just thought she was a ''femmy'' sounding guy... Our families have gotten together a number of times. I also met a couple of great guys on a fishing web site, just a matter of mutual interest I guess.

I've met several people from the internet.
The First guy I met happens to be my best friend now. The Second guy I met (not thinking anything bad because the first time was great) raped me. After having the LOWEST self-esteem ever, I met several guys just to have sex. Once I hit rock bottom, I decided that it probably wasn't the best thing to do. Now I have my b/f, (strcrssd), we will be celebrating our one year next Thursday, and All is Better.

I was new to the internet nearly 6 years ago and was on a local chat line and began chatting with a girl. It turns out that we were both raised in the same area of the state, born on the same day, 4 years apart and so many other things in common. We met after two months of emails and phone calls and were married just three months later. She is the best thing to ever happen to me and it is all thanks to God and the internet. I realize there's no sex or intimate details to this story, but my life has never been better. Thank you for you time.

I'm a 26 year old guy. if thats important.....anyway, last year i tried to lay off the drugs and drinking, and to compensate, i went on about a 3 month spree of getting laid as often as possible. I didn't use any adult sites. I've been a member and found it a waste of money. I'd just do a basic search for chicks in my area, start with an IM, and see if it was going to happen. If you don't waste time on girls you arent going to lay, you can have an almost 100 percent success rate. my friend watched the process once when i was doing it and was amazed at how precise i was...lol. but alas, no more. I have found the one girl that makes all others pale in comparison (shes amazing) ......and guess how we met....

Back when I first started college and was really getting into this internet thing I was on a filesharing network with a chat feature. There was lots of talking and stuff and then one fateful night, it was suggested that there be a RL (real-life) meeting. The time and location were quickly organized, and I decided that there could be no REAL harm, I mean, I kinda knew the people and they didn't seem that crazy, so I went. Boy was I wrong, what a bunch of psychos (and totally not hot at all), we played Centipede on an Atari 2600 and we often live as roommates now.

Now SL, I was pretty sure that A invited me but as usual I could be wrong. I do remember however that you needed a ride or didn't feel like driving because you knew you were drinking that night and being the chivilrous guy that I am offered to drive you there. Ahhh what a way to meet

I met my b/f at a RL party of an online forum for your college, where I also met onesnowyowl.
I've had some other "online boyfriends," you know, flirting online and stuff, but I don't think I've ever actually met them. Usually I find out they're wierdos before I meet them. My sister met her husband on an online chat sight, WBS. The rest of the family hates him, but she seems to dig him.

I've been online since 1990 and I have enjoyed meeting the diversity of people. I used to be a part of the personal sites and had a few meets but never anything I'd call spectacular, and quickly gave up on it. I spent those same early years enjoying people I'd met in chats or bulletin boards, with only social intentions in mind.
Of what must be thousands, by now, people I have met, I am fortunate to have found a handful well worth all the annoyances that one can find online. I last meet someone from online in 1998. I haven't been interested in it since, until recently. I'm looking forward to meeting fellow gamers at various, informal gatherings. |

Theres a girl i've became really good friends with on AIM over almost 3 years or so. I met her while playing The Sims Online (online mass multiplayer game). We've exchnaged pictures, webcammed, talked on the phone, etc. We live in completely differant parts of the country, and both still live with our parents so it would be difficult to just fly down to see her. My folks know I talk to her, but I don't think they realize how "serious" of a friendship it is. But we definitly plan to meet hopefully this summer somehow. I have no idea what kind of relationship we'd have if we met/lived closer. We've often talked about dating, but I don't know how serious she is about that. I would love to go out with her.
A couple past girlfriends I got to know mostly by talking to them online. Both of them lived in my area, and I met them in person at first, but most of our conversation took place online untill we started going out. I really hate talking on the phone, and would much rather talk to somebody online than call them up. I look foward to the day when "Hey whats your screen name" replaces "Hey whats your number." I honestly believe that will be the case, probably fairly soon. I just hope i'm still young enough to enjoy it |

9 years ago I met a girl in a AOL chat room. We hit it off and emailed each other daily for a few months, exchanged photos, etc. Then I drove 4 hours to visit her at college and we had a fun night of fooling around. We were attracted to each other and enjoyed talking, but after we met in person we found we didn't have much in common outside of sitting behind the computer before bed at night. Haven't heard from her in years.

Would any of you consider meeting someone using HotOrNot.com's "Meet Me" feature? Has anyone done so? I've been single for two years now and although I am generally suspicious about the whole story, there are some hotties registered on it, who live in my town.

Insanely bored one night about 2 years ago I subjected myself to the MSN.com chat rooms, and actually found some people hanging out in an area chat room that were local to me. Just started mouthing off and somebody dropped the question if anybody knew how to make a cross-over cable, I dropped the answer back to her in a PM and apparently I was the only one that got it right (even though there were 3 dudes with CSIS degrees in the room). Once we had each others attention one thing led to another and I drove 70 miles to meet her, we talked about 2 hours and ended up in bed.
The fun part of this one was that we became friends and she actually got me a job with the company that she was working for, got fired and we started dating, things went to shit and now we barely talk. All over a stupid cross-over cable. I've met a couple other people, some that I'm even still friends with, but that's the fun story, I can say that I've never really had a bad experience.

Met my fiance on Myspace last April. We started talking April 17,2004...she randomly just messaged me on there. She lives in GA...about 4 and a half hours away from me. Started dating August 3,2004. We're now engaged, have been since February. So crazy how fate brought us together like it did. She's the love of my life, and I knew that the moment I met her.
