If you meet and then date in person, but just meeting and chatting over the internet is not getting to know the real person.

meeting someone on the internet can work out but there are risk associated with that. The person could be crazy so if you meet them make sure to take someone along with you so that you are not alone. Make it a double date. I met my fiance on the internet and we have been together five years. We are getting married in september 2006

It's definitely possible. My fiance and I met through the Internet about 3 years ago. I refused to meet him for the longest time (even though he only lived about 17 miles away) as I was unsure of the idea. I have a friend that lives in the same town as he and as it turned out, she knew him and had went to school with him when they were younger (he's 8 years older than me and she is a few years older than him). She was able to convince me to meet him and I'm glad I did. We are getting married in 6 weeks. We have a beautiful little girl who will be 1 in 2 weeks and my older daughter from a previous marriage absolutely loves him and knows him only as Daddy and he has always from day one said that she was his little girl and will be adopting her after the wedding. :)

Yes, but you have to be patient. I went on I don't know how many dates with all sorts of guys. Some were great, some were not, some were f@#$ing psycho. I was on for about two years and just when I had gone in to delete my profile and cancel my account I saw one more email in there. I checked it, sat on it for a few days, and gave it one more shot. It turned out to be my last shot. My husband and I were together for a year and a half when we were married. We are very happy together and often forget that's how we met. Many people make the mistake of rushing into things with people they meet over the net. Especially if its long distance. Feelings are much easier to have when you dont know the person very well, you only know what their phone personality is. Its easy to hide behind and phone and email. I would recomend trying it but just like meeting anyone somewhere else dont think the first person you meet will be the last. It took me two years. And ALWAYS meet the person in a public place and be honest with them and yourself. Dont rush into things and dont allow yourself to have false feelings before you even meet them. Some people on personals set themselves up for disappointment.
I HATE the stigma surrounding personals. Its not about desperation. I dont date men I work with, I dont do the bar and club scene (never worked out for me) I dont date guys at school. I am a busy person and it was convenient and like online shopping. If I didnt like the guy there was no awkward excuse to make up. I pikced the ones I liked and didnt have to go through the fake number thing with guys I wasnt interested in. Yes there are some people who are a little wacky but that is true of anyone you meet anywhere. Yahoo personals was extremely frustrating for awhile, but people are frustrated in the "real" world too. So no you dont have to be desperate or psycho. Those other answers are ignorant. My husband and I are both grounded individuals and very happy together.

Yes I am planning my wedding with a man I met online 7 years ago when we were just kids! We talked for 4 years online before meeting and we were very close before we ever met.. Now we've lived together for 3 years and are getting married next summer..
It is definately possible for it to work out - just don't expect true love in 2 days..

Well it works for a meeting. So much information that people give is false. You can not believe or trust anything that people are currently spitting out on the internet. Find the real story for yourself.

It can, but there are a lot of factors. I dated my husband long distance (we met on the internet) for 2.5 years and then moved to live with him and we just got married 2 months ago. So far, so good!
