Is that after you met face to face and saw eachother a few times? Then when asked, "Where did you meet" you say the internet? Well, there is nothing wrong with admitting you met someone online...head banger head banger head banger

Internet dating sites aren't the stigma they once were, Dan. Now they're the in thing.

Not according to my Father, he thinks everyone on the internet is evil..
So I said Dad... i'm on the internet, does that mean i'm evil? he and I argued about that and never got anywhere.. The thing is I met someone from this site, and was done very wrong by this person.. relocated and everything... ever since then he has hated the internet..

Dan...Congrats to you and "R"hug

We have both told our mom's also. Granted, Carter told his sooner than I told mine. His mom is from the "old school" too and thought it was a bit different and was unsure, but has warmed up to the idea now that she knows a bit about me (or so I have been told) and how we feel about each other. My mom is very "internet savy", she is the one who convinced me that I should join a blog site she is on so I could b.s. with all her net friends. LOL Mine knew that I had met someone "special" long before I told her, my amount of time online gave me away, as I typically only used the internet for researching information for papers...suddenly I was online at every opportunity and for hours on end. One day I just started talking about Carter as if she had already known about him....now she asks about him all the time and can't wait until he is here.

I hope you and "R" are blessed with everlasting love. teddybear

Well Thankfully I have lots of internet buddies (and have had for many years).. So my dad is very used to me disappearing to meet and travel with my (now) RL buddies.

And Luckily for me he thinks Mr McMaybe is one of them :: koff:: angel
