Internet romance can work, I'm proof of that. I met my now fiancee 4 years ago while playing pool on here! We lived 200 miles apart, I lived up with him for 2 years and now we live back in my home town with out 1 year old daughter. So yes it can work. We spent a lot of time on the phone before we met so at least I knew he was actually a man! I would say to you make sure you are safe and someone knows where you are going and first of all don't get your hopes up too high, a lot of these people on the net lie and make themselves out to be something they're not. Just be careful and best of luck x

It is very possible to find true love on the Internet. My wife and I met that way. However that is just a start point. We lived about 300 miles apart. I went to see her many times and then eventually moved in with her.
If you have never even seen him what are you thinking. This guy could be anything or anyone. And in another country? Please re-think this plan now. Stop it before it is too late.
There are so many things wrong with what you have said.
Did you know that instead of marriage you could be sold into prostitution? No reason why not right. How much does your family know of him? How much do you know of him? Are you going alone? How long have you known him? What makes you think you love him if you never ever have been with him.
Everything may very well be on the up and up. You may very well be very happy. But marriage....sometimes after living with someone for years....can be a big change in your life. And you are really doing it up big.
Think what you are doing. If you have never seen him all you have is perhaps a picture. Could be anyone. He could be an old man wanting a young bride. How do you know for sure he is not?
My son found someone on the Internet and she sent a picture. What a knockout. Stunning. He got plane tickets to go see her.
About that time my daughter....who is older that he....saw her picture. She was shocked to see that she recognized her. If was a movie star. Clearly the relationship went down hill as soon as he ask about that.
It's one thing to go see him for the first time……but marry the first time you meat him? Girl you are wide open for a world of hurt. I KIDD YOU NOT.
Please re-think this.

There are so may problems with internet dating, the thing is you never really know what the person is really like until you meet them, they could look totally different to the picture they sent you. However it isn't all bad, there still are some genuine people out there...a person from the internet could very well turn out to be a better person than you met for example at school or in some library or something. You just have to be careful. Not all internet relationships end up in disaster, but there can be a few strange people on the internet...like I said, just be careful. Do not be discouraged at all. You will only know until you meet them, and time will tell if it will be true love or not.
Take care
:)

I do not believe that you can find true love on the Internet but what do I know. Who knows what you might find when you get to Wales? May I suggest that you two get to know each other personally before walking down the aisle as chatting on line is a lot different then actually spending time together. You both will obviously have things that the other isn't 100% aware of and by spending valuable time together you can learn if your compatible. Sorry to sound so negative but I just don't believe that people are capable of truly falling in love with each other on line.

My cousin met a guy online and went on a real date with him. It's been more than 6 years and they're still going strong, so yes you can but if you've decided to marry someone you haven't even met in the flesh then i'll say that you're prolly setting yourself up for a big heartbreak.
Gawd, it'd take me much more time than that to take the plunge.Marriage is a huge commitment, for a lifetime, if you don't feel like he is the right guy for you then don't do it just bcos you think he's cute , that really dumb and dishonest towards yourself.
Bottom line; it doesn't matter where you first met the guy, you can't simply marry someone you've never even met. that's insane.

If I were you, I would hold off on the marriage until you have asked lots of practical and material questions beforehand. Be strong and don't worry about such practical matters souring the romance. If his love is true, and he is genuinely who he says he is, then there should be no problem.
A lot of people have been known to get their hearts broken or worse in such situations.
You should also get to know his inner circle - friends or relatives - in order to help yourself size up what you are going to be saddled with after the ink on the marriage license dries.
Wedding only last a few hours, a honeymoon ends after a few days, but marriage can go on a few years.
Protect yourself against any major risks by gaining as much information as poss about your future spouse.

Bad idea! I have been involved in several internet relationships. The long distance ones were great untill we met and spent quite a bit of time together. The only one that worked, was a man who was local that we could go through the dating process together.... we ended up married.

Can you find "true love"(tm) on the 'net? Most likely NO. (odds are way against you)
Are you going to be happy? Most likely NO.
Did you find your soul mate? Most likely NO. You found excitement by looking far away.
"He is so nice and CUTE" Okay. "I never saw him" Hmm. That's somewhat inconsistent, isn't it?
What do *I* think is going to happen? You might realize that most of the excitement was in the fact that he was far, far away.

I think it's unrealistic to fall in love with someone online unless you have met them and have had a sustained face to face relationship for several months. You should meet as much as possible, you should go on dates, see each other's homes, etc.
Can you meet someone great on the Internet? Sure, but there are also a great many people who lie about their appearance, age, marital status, and criminal record. Online relationships don't allow you to see their regular life, nor can you see personal behaviors that may disturb you. Proceed with caution.

My boyfriend and I met on the internet, and our first face to face meeting was when I moved in with him. Sounds weird, yeah, but 4and a half years later we're still going strong.
Yeah, I believe you can find true love on the internet, but marrying someone you've never seen in person? That's a bit rusky. Go, meet him and take it from there. Goodluck :)
