well I can answer this through experiance...I met my husband on the net 4 years ago!!...we eventually met up after calling eachother for a few days and just clicked. we got on so well. almost like we had known eachother for a lifetime. we played things cool at the beginning as we were both just out of long term relationships , but I ahve to say I do believe in fate&destiny and believe that we were meant to meet.
we ahve been together for 4years now and he proposed after 2 years..we got weeks ago 2 years after getting engaged. so we definately did not rush into anything, we know eachother better than anyone else knows us. he is my best friend, soulmate&my lover...and honestly the best thing that ever happened to me, we are not ashamed of how we met. at first we hid it but after a year or so we decided to tell everyone as it is so common these days.
whats the big deal..its better than meeting someone and simply goin on looks, we had no idea what each of us looked like until the night we met and had already fallen prior to meeting!!. just lucky that on meeting we were very attracted to eachother too!!.

I think it's very sweet. Of course, I am assuming that after they got to know each other over the Internet, they met in person and found that the chemistry was as right as they had imagined when they were dealing "at arms length," as it were. I would suggest that people need to take the time to get to know one another in person as if they had only just met, which they have, physically, and just be glad of the extra information about one another they shared over the Internet before they met. Because of course until you get to spend time together in person, you do not know how honest a person has been on the Internet. I've heard stories about how disappointed people are when they meet live.
It's not that different from other forms of "dating service" efforts in the past, before Internet. I put an ad in a "singles" magazine once, and it yielded a bunch of crackpot calls and one very, very good friend -- with whom I had zero compatibility physically, but great friendship platonically. That was good enough for me. He then introduced me to his friends, and some of those became romantic entanglements. The friendship lasted longer.

There is no diffrence to the people who meet in a bar, a club or anywhere else.
I find the fact some people seem to fall in love over the net with someone they have never met very strange and think they might be a bit desperate.
However, i think the internet is now a fantastic way of meeting people from all over the world and know of several people who have ended up getting married.

A dangerous game is internet dating but if people meet and both feel the same then yes go for it, but I think that people who go online to meet their soul mate lack certain social skills required to get through such a demanding thing as marriage. Am I qualified to say marriage is demanding? I met my wife at school but never got together until we were 19, been married for 23 years and I would marry the woman again tomorrow, so yes I think I am qualified and yes I stand by the statement that cyber love does not need the social skills that are required for real life.

I think it can work great.
One of my best mates met his wife over the internet. The dated for ages so it was not like they went from internet to married really fast though. They would pobably have never met otherwise as he was living in Scotland and she was in the USA. It does get weirder though.
The girl came over to study in the UK so she could be closer to my mate. She knew me pretty well too, we all chatted on the same chat site) so I travelled down to her Uni for the weekend. While there one of the friends she had made and I hit it off, we had a long distance relationship and got married. We have now been together for coming on 8 years and been married for 6 with two wonderful kids. Now we would never have met if my mate had not met his wife over the internet so I dont think I can criticise it too much :-)

I think it's wonderful, I met my husband on the internet 6 years ago, and it's worked out far better than any relationship has in my life. We got to know each other properly before we even met up, and when we finally met we felt as though we'd known each other forever, there was an instant spark and attraction, and we've never looked back.

I think it's awesome if it's real. I met my bf online and we're planning to get married in the near future. I have co-workers and friends who've done the same..... There's nothing wrong with it. You have just as much chance picking up a loser online as you do at a party, online, or via a mutual friend. Anyway, I think of what a friend said, "Think about it.... You were online too, does that automatically make you a creep?" No, it doesn't, and I'm tired of people's eyes popping out of their heads when they hear I met my sweetheart of more than a year online. (Actually, I only get that reaction from my stoneage family.... LOL)

My college roommate met her husband on the Internet. Things are working well for her.
The only issue is distance and location. The chances of meeting someone local on the Internet is slim. Take your situation, for example. One of you will have to leave your life behind in order to move where the other one is. That's a lot to ask of someone, especially if the distance is great.

I would never have met my wife if it hadn't been for the internet, she was over 200 miles away but we got talking and just hit it off from day one, we were talking for some time before we actually met, I travelled up to Glasgow to meet her and we have never had an argument yet, been together for nearly 3 years now, life has been fantastic since we got together.

I came across the same situation a year ago. I'm a hindu and my husband is muslim. Let me explain you my story. We were in love for 8 years and had issues you have now. I was not ready to convert my religion and he did not expect too. When we took this to our parents, his parents accepted and my mom was concerned about the religion. One good thing happened was my mom knew him and she liked him for his character and behaviour. So she agreed after promising that I will never convert my religion. Wedding was in both cultures. First it was hindu type of wedding and next day Nikkah. And yes, as per Islam a muslim cannot marry a non muslim which I thought is weird. Then the problem started. His family forced him to make me convert, he denied and we had hard times. Later, we both discussed and decided to convert me only for nikkah purpose and so I did. We got married and now still I'm a hindu and following my own religion. We are happily married for a year by now. At home, we dont follow any religion. He goes to masjid, prays. I go to temple and do my poojas. We celebrate both and Ramzan and Diwali. According to me, religion should be from heart. There is nothing to do with the formalities they did at the time of Nikkah. Here, my husband is understanding and loves me the way I am. He expects true love and care from me but not religion. At times, he also protects me from his family. My advise to you is, explain her that you will never expect her to change her religion and she can follow the same culture she does. Tell this to her parents and promise that you will take good care of her after marriage. Tell your parents that she will follow your custom when she is with them but as an individual she will be a hindu and they have to accept. Also she may have to convert for nikkah purpose and that should be only a name sake, you cannot force her later for conversion. If you are fine with all these, then think about marriage. Else please leave her to be happy. Remember, converting a religion is not at all easy. Its like changing one's mother. Understand. Since you say you can't be happy without her, you got to understand and respect her feelings. It would be extremely painful journey but know before you go into it. Best wishes. God Bless!!!
