Like yourself I was very embarrassed to admit to friends that I had met my wife on-line. For approximately 2.5 years nobody knew exactly how we met but I eventually relented and began telling people the truth. It has become very much a part of the social norm to met and become mates using the computer so there is really nothing to be ashamed of.

I have struggled with this same question. But I decided to tell people that I met people on line cause, I think people should open there minds to it. I mean its crazy that people think its any more unsafe to meet on line than in person. You can meet just as crazy person in the mall. As long as you meet for the first time in person in a public place. Whats the problem. If there going to lie they'll do it anyway. Of course you are never going to change the minds of the older generation....but those people are probably already married and could care less......!!

Its not abnormal to meet people from over the Internet anymore - its quite common now. Just take the usual precautions - meet them in a "neutral" location because some people completely misrepresent themselves on the Internet. Most people are nice, but some aren't - those are the ones you have to watch out for. As long as take precautions when meeting somebody new I don't see anything abnormal about meeting up with someone this way - not anymore.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I understand what you mean. I met so many girls online and I hate to say it but I told people about it. I realize that the people that I told dont act the same way as they use to. You see, when you meet someone online, is like your really despite to look for a date..Im sure is not a bad thing though but its a bad thing to tell other people. You might think its the right thing to say the truth..but remember..TRUTH HURTS..so if you have to lie about something that you think is serious..then lie about it..cause I hated when people say that behind your back. Telling other people that you dated online. When you brake up with that person online, its going to be harder for you to find a date. Because people are going to talk , and rumors spread fast.
Lemme give you an example..would you date someone whom you met at school, club or w/e..and you found out they dated online before..dont you feel like..ewww that person is sooo despite for someone..
The best way is to lie and always be honest to your online partner..tell them that I feel kind of embarres dating online so we should keep this on a downlow. You might think its wrong..but really you always gotta save your back. Your future is more important then anything else..

I find the whole prospect very interesting, however, one needs to be very careful, as with meeting people face to face. I'm rather pleased with the amount of contacts I've made on YA! and pleasantly surprised that many of them are not that much different from me.

It shouldn't be embarrassing at all. Don't feel the need to lie about where you met. Unless you're embarrassed of the man himself, and if that's the case you probably need to rethink why you're with him in the first place.
I met my current love from the internet, and we've been going strong for almost 9 months now. There's absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about so no worries, ok?

As long as they DON'T say.."I'm Chris Hanson from dateline NBC," you should be fine. With the inernet explosion meeting people on here is normal in todays world. The important thing is that you met somebody you care about and who cares how you met.
