I don't think there's anything wrong with how you met and I am Christian. Have you asked your friends why they don't approve because it doesn't really make sense for them to think it's wrong. I mean you're engaged now, so how you met really shouldn't matter to them unless it was bad like he was jail or something. There's not a whole lot you can do since he is in a coma except be supportive. I guess the only way to do that would be to be with his family and you all help each other through it. Praying is good too. best wishes and good luck.

There has to be a reason you two met. I've heard of sooo may people falling in love over the web. I cant say if I think its possible or not, it would just depend the two people involved. I think your friends are just concerned that you may be jumping the gun and moving too fast with someone you dint know very well. You two should meet, spend some time together in person and then decide if you feel the same way. You never know- maybe he has bad habits you'd never know about from over the web, or maybe you just wont feel the same way in person- maybe he wont either! Give it some time and dint rush- whether you meet them person OR on the web, you should always move slowly.

I do believe you can fall in love in many different ways. If you feel it is real true love your friends should support you. I am assuming you have met this man face to face. If you have not you need to you never know who is out there. As for him being in a coma I am real sorry to hear that I think all you can do is pray.

Sure. You can fall in love in any fashion. Falling in love online is more believable than "love at first sight". At least online you can get to know someone. "first sight" you don't even know if that person will speak your language.
New ideas are always looked down upon because people don't understand them. Meeting online is the new singles scene. Heck, myspace is practically like a bar, except you don't drink anything!
Go with your gut. Tell your friends you need their support, not their criticism.

I don't think that it is wrong and I am Christian also. We have a long time family friend that met his current wife online and they have been married for 2 years now. They turned out to be a great match!

To answer your first question. That wasn't the best way to find a fiance but who's to judge. Anyway, I think you should spend more time with the family to show them how much you care about both him and his family. Okay.

Love can be blind especially in a long distance relationship. Don't rush it! spend time with this person for a LEAST a month or so and see if his quirks are the type you handle and love, and yours for him. If it's right it won't take long after living real life with a person to realize if you really are compatible.

God..seek God. God can answer your question. He is the final judge and jury. Continue to pray, be steadfast and everything will work out fine. Pray for His family also, that is the best thing to do for them.
God bless
