YES! I did. We met in the old Lycos chats, talked for about a year, he flew from Australia to meet me in person, we both decided we couldn't live without each other, so he returned to Australia to get his things in order, came back and we got married and still are VERY happy after 11 years.

Not me personally but I do know a couple that have been married about 3 years now that met online. Similarly, I have made friends online which I met face to face and now visit regularly. Just be careful. Talk online for a while. Talk on the phone a while longer. Meet in a public place to be sure the person is who you think they are.....etc

Yes, loads of people. I met my current partner of four and a half years on line, we had been mailing each other/talking online for about four weeks before i moved in with him. My friend also met a man online and within six months were married and have been happily so for four years. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful because i met some real weirdos on line! Always check out anyone you intend to meet, always meet in a public place and always tell someone where you are going leaving details of the person you are meeting with someone you can trust.

Yup!
I've done a lot of internet dating and met more than my share of freaks and nutbars...but five years ago I met my husband from an online dating site. We were married a little over a year ago and I just love him a bit more every day.
I think the important thing is that you are very clear in your own mind what you're looking for and what you're NOT willing to put up with, to minimize the amount of time you waste on those folks who are really not going to go anywhere...
We lived in the same city and met up VERY quickly after making the initial contact online. I have been involved in long-distance relationships before, but they only ended in a lot of frustration.

I almost married someone I met online. It ended up not working out, but we were engaged for while.
But, we met through an online dating service, and lived in the same city, so we met and dated in person for a long time before getting engaged. It wasn't a situation where we had talked online a lot, and never met, and then all of a sudden I proposed. That, to me, would have been weird.
However, my mom used to work with a woman who met her husband that way. She was Canadian, and he was American, and she went to the US to marry him, having only met him in person once or twice before.
Seems strange to me, but it seems to be working out for them so far. As far as I know, they are still together, and that was a few years ago, now.

My mom did! As a joke; I made her put her profile online. His daughter did the same!! and....5 years later they have been married for 3 years!! My mom met her husband online 5 years ago - he lived in IL and she lived in MI. They stated "talking" and then after about 6 months of that; they exchanged cell phone #'s and after about another month they met in person in the presence of each others families; fell in love and married the next year. He is a great man. She moved to IL with him and despite the usual spiffs they are very happy together. My mom is the LAST person on earth i would have expected to this - just goes to show; you never know .......

My fiance and I met on Yahoo! Personals. We e-mailed for about two weeks, then had a casual, short first meeting, and slowly began to date. 16 months later he proposed and 13 months after that is our wedding!
My advice is to be very careful and take it very slowly. Meeting people on-line can be dangerous as people can present themselves any way they want to, which isn't necessarily how they are. Don't agree to meet anywhere that isn't very public for the first few times until you have a good sense about the person. NEVER give out your personal information on-line (like your full name, your address, where you work or go to school or anything else that would help this person find you if their intentions aren't honorable). Stop communicating with anyone who asks you for money or is pressuring you into meeting them. Talk to them on the phone first. Tell someone else who you are meeting and where. If it doesn't feel right, leave. (Pay BIG attention to your gut!)
It can definitely work out, but use lots of common sense and caution.

Hi,
I have not met anyone and married them myself but I know someone who did.
A friend met this guy on a dating online site and they would exchange emails and meet up regularly. He then moved in with her and they got engaged after about 6 months. They then got married another 6 months after that - so a whole year into their relationship ....
Now?
They are getting divorced after just being married over a year.
But you hear of amazing love stories so it can happen!

Yes, I met my husband in a chat room on April 15th of 2001. We met in person in November of 2001( 2 week visit), and we were married on January 3rd of 2002.
It doesn't always work out. You have to be safe and careful. But now i wouldn't trade it for anything.
Also understand we did move a bit fast for most peoples taste, It just worked for us.
I love my husband very much. Come January it will be 6 years we've been married.
