We're both 30 years old.
I was matched with a guy on eharmony 2 weeks ago.
We're just like the couples on their commercials. As odd as it sounds, we are like 2 halves of the same whole. We're so perfect for each other that it would only be natural to wind up down the isle.
What was your experience with meeting your fiance/ spouse online?

I met my husband online thru a mutual friend and our relationship felt the same, like we were 2 halves of the same whole and that we completed each other. We both truly feel that the other is our soulmate. We have so much in common even though we are both from different cultures, countries and religions. We knew each other for almost a year before we met in person. I flew to Morocco where he lives and stayed for 90 days. We were married 6 weeks ago. I definitely believe meeting someone online is the safest way to date nowadays. Congratulations.

I met my husband on Yahoo personals about 2 1/2 years ago. We were 45 and 48 at the time. Like you we hit it off right away and we knew within a month or so that we'd end up getting married, which we did, about 9 months later. We are extremely happy.
The cool thing about online dating is that the "selection" is so much larger and more interesting than if you restricted yourself to only the people you naturally run into during your normal routine. My husband lived across town from me and there would have been no way we would have met if it wasn't for the internet.
That said, I do always caution people that online dating can be risky because people can easily hid behind that keyboard and screen! You need to be careful that you meet the real person as soon as possible (and at first in public so you can leave if your date turns out to be a creep).
Anyway, congrats, and I hope you have as much success as we did.

I also met my fiance on Yahoo Personals, and I also met a couple weirdos online before that. I think the stigma with meeting and dating people online is starting to dimish because I know a lot of people who have been others, both good and not so good experiences. We talked online for a couple weeks and then talked on the phone, after about a month of talking he called me and said he was coming up to my town to do some "shopping" and if I wanted to meet him for supper or something I could. We had a very nice time and that was over 2 years ago, we've been engaged since May 4 of this year!
Good luck and just take the time to learn everything you can about this guy. You'll find that the more time you spend talking with him, the closer you'll be with him.

we met online 4 years ago.. he pressed me into something serious quickly and when he wasn't being reliable I dumped him... we talked occasionally over the next 3 years, during which I had 2 serious relationships and he had 1.. they broke up about a year ago and he and I started dating in February.. I had a lot of doubts that he was for real but now I know I just can't imagine being with anyone else.. we laugh constantly and are just so happy to be together.. and tomorrow we are looking at houses with a realtor..
it can happen with someone you meet online.. but just b/c you took compatability tests doesn't mean you should think of this any differently than any other new relationship.. don't jump the gun.. take your time and if you really are a strong match, it will work..

I met two guys through eHarmony, but neither one was really a match. I finally met my fiance on Yahoo!Personals. We dated for 16 months before getting engaged, and then 13 months of an engagement. My advice is don't rush it. Two weeks is way too soon to know if you're really a match. Get a chance to know each other as people before you decide you're a match made in heaven. Perhaps you are, but the computer matching doesn't do it all. Best wishes.

I'm 28 and he's 29.
I met my fiance playing "Werewolf" on a Tolkien-fan website.
Yes, we're geeks. :)
He's German and I'm American, but he's willing to move here (I can't leave, or I'd be just as willing to move there.) He flew over to meet me in person 9 months after we met and 3 months after we became a sort of couple (through email and Skype.) He'd never even been on a plane before... <3
We talk every day on the phone (via Skype), but we haven't seen each other in four months. Just after the New Year, I'm going to Germany & will finally get to meet his family & friends.
He is so perfect for me that, instead of being upset he's so far away, I'm amazed that someone like him exists at all.

Yep, we met online almost 3 years ago! We met on adultfriendfinder...hee hee Naughty, naughty people!!! Nah, not really. I had tried other sites and had been running into some real weirdos. So I thought I'd give this a shot after a friend told me about it. I did, met some losers on there too...lol. And then my sweetheart!
But I agree, 2 weeks is TOO soon to be thinking you wanna spend the rest of your life with this person. Take it slow...give it time....and if it's right, it'll happen! Good luck!

I met my fiance on Yahoo Personals. We both worked in the same town, but would have never met. I was 26 and he was 31. Now we are 28 and 33 and getting married in May. We both knew right away, but waited about a year and a half to get engaged. To me, he felt like family (not in a weird, incest way) and it was like two pieces of a puzzle fitting together.

Not very many people will answer yes to this. because 1) Not many people in the P&S section are married 2) Hardly anybody meets their spouse online
