have you ever met someone off the Internet? did it work out? recommend it?

Answer 1

I would only recommend it if it's done in a safe manner. My fiance and I met on the internet nearly 7 years ago. Unlike most people, we only chatted for a week and one day, seeing that we were bored out of minds, we decided to go watch a movie together (public place!). I almost cancelled because I had never met someone from the internet before, but I went along with it. It was the best decision I ever made. Neither of us were looking for a significant other, rather we were just bored and we both wanted to watch a movie. We got to know each other and we hit it off big time. We've been together for nearly 7 years and we're getting married early next year. We've been through everything together from unversity, first jobs, first cars, first home together, etc.

It worked out great for me but I have to warn you that there are some lunatics out there looking to screw over someone else's life. My advice is to be careful about what you tell others. I don't really believe in love over the internet as anyone can say anything and pretend to be someone they are not. If you meet someone, a public place is always a good choice... and let your friends know where you're going :-)

Answer 2

I met my husband on-line, we've been married 3.5 yrs now and happy as ever. The best advice I can give you is IF you decide to meet someone, have a friend KNOW exactly where you are going and have that friend call you about half-way thru the date, so you have an out if you need it. I met a lot of nice guys thru on-line dating, My husband I actually liked the best, we talked a lot on-line and on the phone, he's a otr truck driver so we had to wait awhile till he got thru our neck of the woods, by the time I actually met him, I had a good idea that I was falling for him. When we finally met, my eyes backed up what my heart was tellin me, I was falling head over heels, but we took our time and didn't rush things,after two years we finally got hitched and He IS the love of my life. So it can happen, just be careful and do not get yourself into situations where something could happen to you!! Good Luck..God Bless!!!

Answer 3

Yes...My husband and I have been married a little over 3 years now. We met on Christian Single Mingle. We are Christians and prayed about it and came to the conclusion that we should marry. Believe it or not, we married within 6 weeks of "meeting". He was in Chicago, I am in NC. He quit his job of 9 years and moved here to be my husband, and a father to my 2 children. My family has caused us many problems during that time, but we've endured it and have a stronger relationship. We talked for hours on the phone and really got to know each other. I talked to friends of his that had known him for years, and even looked up his church on the internet and called his pastor! Always be extremely careful. It can be so dangerous, but on the other hand, it can be a wonderful tool. It was for us!

Answer 4

Yes several times. One of my friends was into meeting people online years ago in real life. I did it twice she did it tons of times. Important thing to do is ask for a photo before you meet. Then ask to meet in a public place like a restaurant, mall, etc. AND meet that person with a friend, tell them to bring a friend too. Best thing my friend and i loved to do was meet the person in say a mall and tell them a specifc time to be in front of a specific store and we would sneek over and take a glance at them. If they were nasty looking or just looked scary we would ditch em and they would never know we saw them :). Best way to get out of a possible bad situation.
But all the meetings never worked out. We met people we thought were losers and some who seemed cool but in the end we always stopped talking to them for one reason or another. Just try it once but always bring someone with you and dont go anywhere private with that person on the first meeting.

Answer 5

I've personally known two people who met someone on the internet and married or planning marriage. Things have changed now since we have so little time and so many of us are computer freaks and there are never any quarantees anyway. Just be careful and meet in a public place.

Answer 6

the main important one in the final 2 years on April a million has been the circulate of the counsel some "Dooms Day Virus". sort of like the Y2k issue each and every physique working around frantically attempting to get a speedy restore. constructive made those disaster and adrenaline junkies chuffed. what's the Spiritually in an April fools comedian tale?

Answer 7

Yea, i did. few years back during the hot period of mIRC days. Mostly friends when met up, then some just grew much attached and attracted and somehow went thru the relationships which eventually didn't worked out. It's possible to meet someone but practice securities and measures when meeting people especially when you are a girl.

Have fun!

Answer 8

Yes.. oddly enough it has. We live in different states. She is from Indiana and I live in Michigan. We met in a 30 something chat room and began e-mailing and talking on the phone. Our 7yr anniversary was July 17th of this year.

Its a bit of a challenge to keep things together but we are truly happy. I couldn't imagine my life without her in it. So if you are two like minded people.. Id say I recommend it.

Answer 9

kind of, going on 5 years. If by meeting someone you mean someone you speak with on the internet and know through a mutual friend etc then yea. If you mean like some internet dating site I have no idea.

Answer 10

I've met some great people on line. Some have become great friends. And I even met my husband in an online chat room. We've been married for over five years.

It's like anything else; people can be dishonest on line and face to face.

Good luck.
