I've met many guys online. But something always ends up being wrong with them. Or maybe it's me!? I'd just like to hear some success stories. I don't do the bar scene so there aren't many other options these days to meet people.

Success story right here! I met some guys from online and there was always something wrong with them as well. Then I met this one guy.. We talked forever online one night and then on the phone for like 3 days before we met in person. We've been inseperable since... 3.5 years later. He's awesome and perfect for me. I never would've thought it would happen!! Keep positive.

Ok I kind of have two answers to this question. First my own feedback...why do people go online looking for love in the first place? Is being single SO terrible? Before I met my husband I was just fine with being single. We literally just "bumped" into each other and things grew from there. But I can't imagine ever looking for someone online. Ok now for the second part that might actually help you...my husbands best friend was one of those guys who constantly tried to meet girls online. He did it for about 2 years and finally met a really nice girl. Well about 3 days ago we got a call that they are engaged! We couldn't be happier for them. So I guess finding love online IS possible...but maybe it just depends on how you go about it. Maybe try one of the more reputable sites like eharmony.com. However you end up doing it...good luck! I'm sure it's a frustrating process.

I met my fiance on line a year ago. Before he came along I must be honest and tell you I did meet some nuts, but it was when i least expected it he came on line , asked if I'd like to chat and it's been wonderful ever since. We became engaged on my birthday and are planing on being married next summer. Love can happen at anytime and any place. Just be careful and trust your instincts. If the guy doesn't seem like he's being honest and you feel a little leery, then by all means go with your gut feeling. Take it slow and let things develop the same as they would in any kind of relationship you were in. I wish you all the best.

Yeah, I have a success story. I did the online thing for over a year, nothing but creeps, nothing but losers, I removed my profile from the internet because I was getting very tired of it , then I felt the need to put it back on. 2 days later, I got a message from a man that lived in Peru. I wasn't going to e mail him thinking that he was too far, then i had a feeling I needed to.
To make a long story short. We met in person after chatting for 7 months, he was just as wonderful as I felt he was and we are getting married.
It takes time and patience

I'd like to consider myself a success story. I met my husband online.
We've been together for 4 years and married since november.
Get to know them online and over the phone before meeting, take your time. Don't run out and meet them after talking to them for 10mins or trading 1 im or email.
I met mine on a jewish dating website jdate.com and he's a geniunly nice guy and not a freak (yay for me)
I did meet a few psychos in my time

I dated about 5 men I found on online dating sites. None were weirdo's they just weren't for me. One I did date for a year, but medical things separated us. I met my current husband on a site 3 years ago, we've been married one year in September. I know lots of people who meet good people. You have to take your time, talk online a lot, then the phone, don't meet right away. Meet at a restaurant, drive yourself, don't invite him home to your house. There is no rush. Don't lie online or try to sound sexy or anything you don't want them to assume about you.

I met my husband on line and we talked for a few weeks on line and alot on the phone! I ran up a $400.00 phone bill for one month! We met about a month after and have been together ever since! We have been together for 5 years, married for 2 years and have 2 beautiful daughters together! I guess that love is alive and well at AOL, just be careful cause before I met him, I met alot of idiots! But yes, it can and did work, I can prove it! Good luck and God bless!

yes there is!! i have been with my bf for a year now and we couldn't be happier. we met online in a mirc chat room. we do all kinds of things together everyday. we are on the phone constantly and have plans to move in together. we love each other very much.
before him i attracted scarey one's too. so when i did meet him i was very reluctant to get involved. but he was very patient which i am very thankful for. :)
we found that promising each other to be totally honest and totally faithful and never breaking that promise no matter what is a good way to start the relationship off. best wishes to you and your journey. i hope that you will find a love that's as true as ours! :)

I've heard some success stories. It is important not to set high expectations. When this happens, you usually have a let down. This type of dating is never easy; however, you never know what a guy is hiding when you meet him in person either. Trust your instincts and believe in yourself.
