I want to know if it is really possible to make a relationship work with someone you initially meet on-line. The reason I ask is that I have belonged to a couple of on-line services (eHarmony.com and Match.com) and it seems like the only people who've contacted me are guys who want me to give them money or guys who just want a physical relationship. My profiles have been very straightforward about what I'm looking for in a man (someone who is honest, doesn't use bad pick-up lines, etc), but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I would appreciate any feedback.

A physical relationship is on the man from the time he meets you if he thinks you are attractive. Online dating is no different than any other kind; men are a little more forward online (I think) b/c it seems "safer." Be firm and know that you will eventually meet the guy who can't live without you, and will want to marry you. As for the money, thing, well, that's a new one for me. I have a lot of friends who do the online thing, and they have never told me that so I'm sorry this is happening to you. I would believe that one is unusual. Good luck!

Me too I know a young married couple who met on line (Match.com) but they have only been married two years this year so who knows how long that relationship will last?
As for myself, I met my current partner three years ago this year through eBay of all places and we`re still together to this day but that`s because we weren`t looking for a mate or a lover on that particular auction site, of course.
But when we met, I was already married to someone else and living overseas (Western Europe) and my boyfriend was single but living on the East Coast of the USA, therefore initially, the chances of us ever getting together were very remote, to say the least.
But look at us now!
I eventually got divorced and moved my whole life across the Atlantic just to be with someone I met on line!
And I did all that BEFORE ever meeting him face to face, can you believe this???
I hope you can because it`s the God honest truth!!!
Who on earth ever said that crazy, passionate & insane love was dead?
Just proves the fact that you can fall madly in love with someone you have never seen in the flesh, that`s all.
Whether you initially met through the Internet or not.

Yes! I met a guy online and dated him for over 2 years.
We got to know each other a lot better--through the safe medium of text conversations.
After we knew each other pretty well, we began talking on the phone and, eventually, met in real life.
It was like meeting someone you've known forever--a really wonderful feeling.
However, the biggest problem was distance.

yes. I'm in a wedding this summer with my best friend from law school who met his fiance from eHarmony.
I met my fiance on Craigslist (but I didn't get to know her online. We met in person after a short amount of e-mailing).
Different services, I think, attract different people. eHarmony is just about the best "long-term commitment" service that's out there. But I think women have to go through a bunch of guys to find the right one or two. (Guys don't have this problem because they just get shut down by lots of women, or quickly realize that the woman is not for them.)

definite, that grew to become right into an prolonged tale, and a tragic one too. i think of a social worker could have some concepts for you. one difficulty i ask your self approximately is in the experience that your mom is drug-unfastened now because of the fact entrusting your baby to her - even on occasion - may be a no-no. How does your daughter sense approximately your mom? What does your boyfriend think of? What does your father think of? Can a partial restraint order help? I understand that, in case you have been able to get faraway from an somewhat poisonous relative, it would advise destroy-up between kin who otherwise get alongside. on occasion writing down a letter explaining what you sense and what you anticipate is a competent thank you to talk without being interrupted or getting in touch in a disagreement. I genuinely have carried out this some circumstances in my existence while the placement grew to become into too overwhelming for a communique and it particularly helped the two me AND the guy to whom the letter grew to become into addressed. sturdy success!

I think that there are alot of guys on those sites who are just looking for that. But not all of them. I think that it can work you just have to find the right guy. I heard that alot from girls that I would talk to and I am not like that and I was on those sites too until I found someone or she found me. So there are, you just have to look.

I think it is possible but hard to find. Maybe you should add on your profile that your not looking to give money but are looking to be taken care of body mind and spirit.
