Has anyone met anyone via the Internet and had it work out in real life? I'm asking because I've been talking to Paul I met using another site for 2 months now and he's coming to my home state of VA in May. (He's in CA). He's a great guy in every way. I'm not questioning on whether we are going to work out or not, I'm just seeing what info I can find out. If you've had an online relationship work out and would like to give me some tips then I'd appreciate them.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi there

I met my last boyfriend on the net and we stayed together for 3 years! We only split because we had grown apart, but that can happen in any relationship - online or no..

I was very happy with him for most of those three years. We moved in together 6 weeks after meeting up (we did live close to each other anyway), and everything was great.

I would say just trust your gut instincts. There is no real research you can do in my opinion.

Good luck!

Thank you a bunch for your post. My gut tells me he's the one for me. I love him dearly and I hope things work out for us.

The only thing that I can suggest is to see what happens. To me meeting someone on a site is an introduction, and you really get to know them in real life. It's no different than meeting someone in the real world to see if it works out or not. Its up to both of you to develop into something or not. Good luck. applause

Youre welcome. Go with your heart. Its the only way. As mentioned before, you have to meet someone in the flesh to really know them, eye contact, physical vibes, etc, but you sound as though you are falling for him, so go for it!

You will know fairly quickly if he is the one.

They must not be on here right now, but there are a few couples here that have had their relationships from meeting on here lead to marriages. They stay here for their friends and the forums, and give us all hope as well as the benefit of their company.

It's true about the online site being a "meeting place" more or less. I can say for myself I have met a wonderful man in Ireland and have been to visit him and had him come this way. One thing that I can suggest that helped me a lot was having a webcam. We would chat daily for at least a little while. It helped for us to get to know each other very well. I saw/talked to him more often than I have if I met a guy in my town. Give it a try until May if you aren't already.

I haven't met or dated anyone off the computer, but I read your profile and you seemed to be totally honest, you even put exactly what you did for a living instead of keeping it generalized, but you also seem eager for love. so I would proceed somewhat cautiously.....this is the internet.

not to be mean honest I'm not..... but your profile shows that you have only been veiwed 157 times since july, that isn't many times at all really, I've been veiwed alot more than that and have had very few interested...but I'm not a model either... but anyways ... So I guess what I am saying is I hope your not interested in this guy because he payed you some attention. and don't preceive someone whom you have never met "in a fairytale like ending.. I would make sure you ask him many many questions

because when you start a thread like this, it usually means that you are having some doubts about his sencerity(mis-spelled)....JMO Your 21yrs old so there is probably alot of schemes you haven't seen or fell for yet...

But I do hope the best for you and hope that he is a great guy...cheers

I don't like your post at all. To be completely honest, it angered me a bit. He didn't "pray" on me. He viewed me on another site and I was just sending a quick thank you. I'm just that kind of person. We began talking from there and he has the same values and beliefs as I do. We connect on many different levels. I don't have doubts at all. It was just a simple question, gosh! Next time choose your words a bit more wisely.

Hun, my words were chosen wisely, I hope for your sake, that your decisions are choose just as "wisely" my post was not intended as an insult, well I'll just stop there... Good luckcheers

Distance can be a problem but it can work, provided condtions are right. As long as they are 'normal' people things work pretty much as they do had you met someone offline.

Of course the boobie factor plays a bigger role in LDR's cheering or maybe thats just me giggle






uh oh laugh
