I was talking to a woman on-line for 6 months, I lived in Canada and she in England. It seemed ok and even got to the point virtual sex was initiated on-line. She said she was my woman and also wanted me to live with her in England, get a job etc. The real crunch was when we met in person nothing seemed to be familiar in the way we tried to relate as if we were both sort of strangers. I noticed it and she mentioned it, we felt the other person wasn't the same person anticipated. We just didn't feel close sexually or emotionally.

Well, excellent question!! I met my husband on-line, we celebrated our fifth anniversary in September. However, we met each other in person (and were attracted to one another) very shortly after we met on line. We both had recent photos and were not liars. We lived in the same city, the long-distance thing NEVER works. I don't think that whole computer-sex thing is realistic either.

It may be a good way to MEET someone, but as your experience indicates, it is a supremely lousy way to get to know someone intimately. This involves becoming familiar with facial expressions, voice tones, vocabulary tempos, default answers (that are not edited in a text-editor), etc.
You may meet someone who seems interesting, but it is imperative to soon reach out and speak to them, and within relatively short order, meet them face to face. Doing so will give you an opportunity to test you on-line intuition, but also will prevent great disappointments later on.
And by the way, the more honest you are about yourself online, the more honesty you'll receive in return.
Good luck.

yes,
I met my partner online about a year ago we didn't meet for a long time but when we did it was fireworks. we only wanted to meet initally as friends as we had been online but one look at eachother and bang that was it.
P.S. I get out a lot so i'm not a sad sit at home person i'm in fact a very social person and it was only through a silly night with mates we logged into one site he came up and we became freinds then after a few meetings got together

No. A lot of people aren't what they seem. I am a hopeless romantic. I want to meet my future husband is outside the world wide web. I want this great story to tell my children on how we met.

I think online dating is not a good way to meet anyone, for one simple reason; no one is real in the cyber world, trust me
Try going out man, and meet REAL people who you can see and talk to

Just depends I guess. It is hard to really say if it is successfull or not. I have heard stories of horror, and stories of romance.
