I met, what I believed to be, the love of my life online at www.interpals.net. We started out as pen pals and it grew into something more, something very special.
We were together for a few years. Unfortunately, we broke up just recently because she became interested in one of her co-workers.

I believe in meeting people the old fashion way. I see a woman that appeals to me physically, then I approach her, introduce myself, & give her a "Real" compliment & start a conversation... I think one of the best places to meet men is @ sporting events. Dating people on the net is definately not for me! I'm sure theres some wonderful ladies here on the net, but its too easy to camouflage who & what you really are, here! So I don't even bother trying 2 get involved in anything more than sharing some of my life experiences & hope it'll help someone make a better choice w/a situation they maybe going thru. But I have made some wonderful contacts w/some ladies here on the net & they email ocassionally to ask me questions about their cars and sometimes my opinion about something a guy said or did to them & that's as far as I want to go w/it... You can try checking out men @ events that you enjoy going 2 also, because if they're there where you are, they must have some of the same interest as you! Good Luck in whatever you decide...

Yes, you can have successful online relationships. My uncle just married a woman he met online. I'm engaged to a guy I met online.
But, with that said... you have to be VERY cautious about who you meet online because people can say they are anyone and anything and you have to really listen to your gut a lot and meet them in public a couple of times before getting too close.
For meeting people in person (not online) I would suggest maybe joining a club or something where you can meet people who have similar interests. It doesnt have to be a singles group. Go to poetry readings if that's your thing or take a class somewhere.
Hang in there. It's hard to get back on the bike but you really don't ever forget.

I met the man I am in love with at Interpals.com We were together a few years. The entire time he was seeing someone else (not a wife) He was having a hard time breaking up and kept telling me a little more time. By my choice I stayed by his side. Every time I had enough I'd end up digging my heals in and staying longer. This was the man I love. Recently, I told him it was time he made the choice her or me. He chose her saying "she doesn't make me choose". He walked out as I cried. Now, he tells everyone it was me that made us break up because I was interested in a co-worker.
It doesn't mean your relationship would end this way if you found love online. There has been many who are still together. I work with a lady who met her hubby at EHarmony.
Good luck!!

I met my husband on line, but we are now getting a divorce..so i agree with everyone else, make sure you know the person well and make sure they are from your area so you can meet his friends and family, my husband was from out of state. I have met my current boyfriend on line and he lives only 15 minutes away from me and it is going great and he is the sweetest and most gentle guy I have ever met. Meeting people online has its good and bad points, you just have to go with your instincts. Good luck!

Yeah I have, even got engaged......of course we weren't even really planning on dating, just wanted to hang out with our friends as it turned out our two little circles went to the same places.......he was amazing, greatest experience of my life.
I think you can do it, talk to them online and in email a lot first......if you have a good instinct you can pick up on their true personality.....then meet for coffee.....public place.....no meals etc. keeps it on a different level and its less obtrusive.
I've met several very nice men online.....that was just the killer relationship, dream of a lifetime one. I have also met plenty of nice guys in bars.....oddly enough just did in Vegas too....thanks to my friend picking up guys for me, lol. If you don't get drunk and they don't get drunk you can have a perfectly fine converstation in a bar...however I recommend going out with the girls, just to be with them, commune .......... watch guys etc. Find a place you are comfortable with and become somewhat regulars....then the people that work there will make sure things are always cool, at least they do where I go.

Find a group you have something in common with. Church,hobbies,etc. When a single woman joins one of these everybody w/ a single male friend will try to fix you up.There might even be a person w/ common interests there for you to meet on your own. Good Luck.

To be honest, most people on the net are fake! its rare to find someone genuine, i personally cant trust anyone coz they sugar coat there charecter and all, but that doesnt mean they are not there. give it a try, u might find your soul mate there. the other thing is try to go out more often with friends, go for movies, ice cream, weekend away etc.

Some women believe that a good man is hard to find.
Other women believe that a hard man is good to find.
Decide which view you share and go from there.
