For those of you who met online, do you tell others the truth?

Question

Or do you fib about how you met?

Ok, people are not understanding this! If YOU are personally in a relationship, right now, with someone you met online, do YOU, personally, tell people honestly how you met? Or do you fib?

Answer 1

I met my man online over 3 years ago. I thought my parents were going to flip if i told them i drove 350 miles to meet him so i told them that we met at my work when he and his dad were in town. Im a very bad liar so they knew it wasnt the truth. Now 3 yrs later they know the truth and love him. In fact we are getting married in June =)

Answer 2

I've been with my boyfriend for 8 months today, we met on match.com. He lives 8 hours away and drives up every weekend. I don't lie about how we met because I think it's amazing. I found "the one" for me on the internet, how many people can truely say that? We never would have met if it wasn't for that website. If someone has a problem with it, that's there own deal. My parents were a little upset when I first started the whole online dating thing. My mom was always like "they could be crazy psychopaths!" I said "My ex-husband was a crazy psychopath, and I met him at college!" I just tell people that you never know a person the second you meet them, whether in real life or the internet. We talked for a month online before we met, it allowed us to really get to know each other better because we weren't worried about the physical aspect of the relationship. Now, with a long distance relationship, I know him better than I've known anyone because we talk all week long, and when we do get to see each other it's amazing. My daughter and I are moving in with him in January, and I can't wait. To be able to see him every day is a dream come true!

Answer 3

I don't mind telling people that I met my fiance online. I'm proud of the fact that I could meet someone in a different country and make a long distance relationship work for 4 years. Why fib when the truth is so interesting? ^_^

Answer 4

I also met my fiance online. It wasn't one of those "blind date" type things, since he was friends with a friend of mine, but it still was a bit embarrassing at first. We've been together 7 years now and are getting married in July, so it's not that big of a deal anymore. But yes, when we were first dating, we both felt a little "loser-ish" and would try to avoid the Q. When we were directly asked, we would say we met through a friend of a friend, which , technically I guess was true.

Answer 5

My soon to be husband and I met on myspace. I saw his profile and sent him a message. We met in a public place and have had a wonderful relationship ever since. When people ask, I tell. The whole thing was kind of a funny story.

Answer 6

I tell people, but I was looking for a decoy to lose the guy I was dating who thought the only reason to break up was if one of us met someone else, so I set off to meet a new friend. I just happened to decide the day I met him that I was going to marry him.

Answer 7

Of course we tell the truth. My husband and I met through an Internet personals site, and we don't see anything embarrassing about it. It would have been much more embarrassing to still be sitting home and cursing fate for being single.

Answer 8

My fiance and I always tell the truth. At first it seemed a little embarassing, but no one has said anything mean about it. The way I see it now, if you feel there is something to be ashamed of, then others will think that also.

Answer 9

I tell the truth. But my mom met her now husband on match.com and for the longest time she didnt tell people how they met, even tho I kept telling her that she needs to tell people, cause its the like the only way to go if you are a single parent or dont have time to go out and meet people!

Answer 10

Absolutely we tell the truth. We've known each other for two years now and got married in October... so clearly there's nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of or weirded out by. We've always told people the truth.
