i've met a guy who is absolutly wonderful. i've been told that since i met him online he'll be a creep and stuff, but he isn't at all...since i've gone out with him a lot, and we've gotten pretty serious and talked about marriage and stuff people like my friends and family are objecting due to the fact that i met him online...what the crap is up with that?

How old are you? How long have you known him in person (not online)? You seem to be talking marriage very quickly. Your family and friends are just worrying about you. We hear stuff about meeting people online. Some people lie. Don't rush into anything....take your time. Let your family and friends get to know him and everyone will be more comfortable with the idea.

It's not a bad thing to meet someone on line. I've met many women on line and have found many to be great as friends and as dates.
If you meet someone after visiting on line and on the phone for a while, and that person is a good person, you'll know it as well as you would by meeting that person any other way.
Anybody who thinks it is horrible to meet and like somebody you have met on line probably doesn't know much about it or has heard too many horror stories about the 2 or 3 percent who have had bad experiences (at least I hope it's no higher than that).

There is nothing wrong w/ online dating. I have met & dated sb. whom I met online. Although it didn't work out at the end, he loved and treated me really well. Of course, I have heard of many horror stories also. So, trust your instincts and be careful. From your email, it sounds like you guys haven't been dating for long. Otherwise, in general, it's hard to believe that your friends & family object your relationship just based on the fact that you met him online. Give it time and get to know each other better. Listen to your heart... if you love him and vice versa, go for it! Good luck!

If your happy and this guy is genuine, then there is nothing wrong with that. Things to look for that are "real" tell tale signs are, how is he with his mum and dad, how dows he treat family members, what's his friends like. If everything in tose catagories is great, then go for it girl and be happy. Online or meeting at the local laundrette, it dosnt matter where you met him. :) If he loves his mum and treats her like a lady and if he loves his dad and is respectful of his dad's thought, if he's got a great relationship with brothers and sisters....then you got it made, you may have met Mr Right. You would be marrying him, and he you, you dont marry your family. It's great to have family support all round but sometimes you dont get everything you want.

If you have met him in person and everything is ok, good luck with everything..but if you havent met in person yet, just take caution in doing so no matter how long you have been chatting. I talked to a guy online and on the phone for about a year and thought it was safe to meet him in person, everything was fine for a few months and when I told him things werent gonna work out , he threatened to kill me and my family and we ended up having to report him and change our #.

I acutally met my Fiancee online.
We talked for about a year, then met in person, and everything is wonderful.
He does live 17 hours away at the moment, but in 5 months he is moving out here.
Who cares if you have met him online?
Thats like saying you shouldn't date someone because you met them through and exfriend.

I know exactly how you feel , i met my boyfriend online and we are currently approaching the one year anniversary. Your parents and friends probably dont know him very well and dont realize that finding people on the internet is just like any other resource, its sort of like ifyou met the love of your life on a blind date, except this time you got to know the person b4 hand
good luck

Dont listen to them as long as you really like him and know that he is truely being sincere then what do you have to lose. Besides, thats how I met my honey and believe me telling my family that I met him online wasn't easy but I did it only because I know what a great guy he is and continues to be.

what the differences where you met a stranger ..you know them now .. and if you get along .. hey , just tell people you met at the first place you actually came face to face .. nobody needs to know anything else .. on line is just an introduction ...
