I think that people who need to meet their spouse or friends on the internet are probably lacking in some way that they are incapable of meeting people offline. Unless the two who are in 'e-love' and are going to get married have actually spent plenty of time together offline, I don't think it would work. Chatting leaves a lot of room for imagination. Things like body language, tone of voice ect. are all left out and these things are amazingly important in communicating who you are. Although, judging on the basis of a couple met online is not enough for one to say "that will work out" or "that definitely won't last", but I would rather lean to the latter simply because as I stated before people who need the internet to meet probably lack vital social skills and these things come up in relationships.

Hello. First, I wish to warn you against the narrow minded answers suggesting that those people who are looking for love on the internet are lacking in some ways. Sure, many of the people on the internet are not right for you, but so are all others out there. The reality is that it doesn't really matter how you meet your partner. It only matters how you get along.

Match.com is in the top 50 most visited sites in the world! And that's just one site alone. People of all ages, professions and walks of life join, meet and enter relationship through internet.
After all, judging someone by the way they express themselves through writing must be at least as good or better than meeting someone based on their looks alone.

Having said that, I wish to warn you against protracted chatting or e-mailing. It's better to meet as soon as possible because until you meet in person, you really don't know if you will get along. Thus, a long chain of e-mails might be a waste of time down the line if you eventually meet and don't like each other.
So, a few e-mails and then.. to the phone and to an in-person meeting. It will make things more fun and more clear.

Thanks.

I met my husband 3 and a half years ago on Match.com. We chatted for a few month through emails and on the phone. We then decided to meet. I knew almost immediately that this was the man that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Fortunately for me he wanted to be with me as well! I agree that going out and meeting people is all good and well, but I never would have met my husband any other way. He lived about 50 miles from me. Anyway, I can't say enough wonderful things about Match.com as I met the love of my life there. Doesn't mean that you don't have to be careful still! I met other guys in person who'd I met online and they were nothing to write home about (just like tons of guys that I'd met at social events!). I think our marriage will work. We are dedicated to each other and to making communication top priority.

sure i believe one could find love anywhere, as good people are on the internet too, as well as other places. anything is possibble, depends on the people. just have to try it out, it does help to get to know that person before u marry them and make a committment to them, but internet people are the same as anyone else.
