yes. i met my current bf off meetic dot co dot uk. he thought i was pretty. i thought he looked a bit older than he said (turned out to be a bad pic).
he lived in cheshire. (but hes a geordie) i lived in london. met him a week later for a long weekend in may 05..... before i met him we spoke for about 7 hours each day.
before i met him however i got him to text me his full name, address, landline number, car reg, make and model so it could be forwarded to my mates.
was so nervous i couldnt eat all day. it was a fab weekend. didnt wanna leave.....
we saw each other every other weekend without fail. then every weekend.....
about 6 mths later it was obvious that things were getting serious and one of us had to move. so i did, new job, bought new house together, new school for daughter etc etc.....
so we are still together, we have our ups and downs..... both having to adjust to each other on a full time basis......
but without the net i would never have met him..... thank god for the net!! lol
however i have had total nightmares..... i like tall men 6ft 2 and above...... met a bloke who said he was 6ft 1. turned out to be 5ft 7 at best!!
also met someone who i had to take to court as he stole some money from me.
there are good and bad people on the net, just like real life in the bars n clubs etc etc.....

One girl I met told me she met her husband on the internet. A friend told me that a girl she met visited a man she met on the internet and had a good time. I think it depends just like dating in the real world. I would be just as cautious as if I just met someone for the first time. You should meet in a public place. Do not leave with the person. You should make sure someone close to you, knows where you are going to meet this person. Also, when you do meet I would ask to see identification. Then if you are interested, you can do a background check. Ask if you could get his home telephone number. If he hesitates, he might be married or involved with someone. Do not leave the same place at the same time. If you find someone following you after you leave, go to a public place such as a convenient store. Do not go to a police station, because many times the doors are locked and you can't get in. I would probably call 911 first before I arrived at the convenient store. It could work. Just be cautious. Never leave a drink unattended even if he says he is going to watch it. Never give out your address! I would also tell him that I have a dog. Personally, I do have a rottweiler. It couldn't hurt to carry pepper spray. Always look behind you.

I've tried it and it seems like everyone is out to meet as many people as they can, which is alright, except they lead you to believe different. They'll tell you you're the only one they're seeing because they don't want you to go meeting anyone else, but they continue exploring. Key: Ask the person how long they have been on the dating site. If the answer is a year or more in time, forget it! They're not seriously pursuing a relationship...Most of the guys I encountered were players. I KNOW because I would set up another alias profile and see if they contacted me; most of them did. I'm sure it's been a favorable means to some people, but it's not a route I would recommend for someone that's looking for a serious relationship.

It wasn't exactly a dating site, an earlier equivalence to My Space. Met this bloke chatted for ages we both decided to meet up and 3 years later we're still very good friends. We went out for a bit but we lived to far from each other for it to work.
I would say its worth a try, just be very careful who you meet. Allot of people try to be something they're not when its through the internet.

Not on the Internet but speed dating all going well after 12 months and holidaying in Thailand. Only went for joke with a desperate mate.
Good luck

Yes,I met my boyfriend on a dating site. Funny thing about it was I was against using sites like that-but I was bored and fed up one day-and ended up browsing a site. I saw this guy-thought he looked cute,and his profile made me laugh out loud. I registered-but then realized I'd have to pay to use the site's email service-so I decided to forget about it. But my boyfriend noticed I'd looked at his profile-read my profile,and sent me a message. (Even though I didn'y have a pic up!) I ended up paying a fiver for the 3 day trial-purely so I could message him and read his messages.
We hit it off,and gave each other our email addys. That was 2 1/2 years ago. He's the best thing that ever happened to me! I've never felt more happy,secure,loved,and contented in my life! I refer to it as my happy fluke!

I had great success, I have met not only some really amazing people on the net who are now close friends but also I met my partner on a dating site and we now live together.

Yes, you sure can. You have to wade through alot of losers, but there are also alot of good people out there, just like yourself. I met my fiance online & he is the love of my life. Just be sure you take the time to get to know each other first, spend time online talking, maybe then exchange phone numbers & visit. If someone you meet online is not willing to take the time to get to know each other or only wants to discuss sex or wants to rush into meeting in person, it's a big, red flag. Be careful, good luck!

I know three couples who are married that met on the internet so I guess it can happen. I tried it and it was okay but no different from any other relationship and you have to want the same things out of life and sometimes people tend to LIE
