Has anyone ever met with someone they were (let's say) romantically involved with on the internet?? How did it go?? Any regrets?? Any success stories??

My first real love came from the internet. Lasted about 2 years. Any regrets? Just remember it is real easy to deceive and to paly mind games over the internet. Oh yea, the distance is a big burden as well. If you can handle the fact that you don't know what the other is up to at all times, then it might work out.

I did it way back in 1993, when it was all bullitin boards. it was fun, but I would not advise it to girls/women, unless the guy is coming to YOUR house, and you have someone with you on the first meeting. The one i hooked up with was just sexual, and only lasted 3 weeks!

This will freak some people out on here considering my recent posts but I am now married to a wonderful man that I met in a chat room just over 5 years ago. We lived about 1,500 miles apart but he came to see me after 4 months of chatting and we've been together ever since. The great part about the internet is that you can fall in love with the real person, not just looks. He told me he loved me before he even saw a picture of me. Yes, you can find true love on the internet.

OMG Mushmelon, I couldn't agree with you more!! Internet romances can absolutely work...if you truly want it and it's meant to be, dammit it'll happen! Hehehe
