Can you marry someone you met on internet? Does online dating work?

[Sicario]

Have you ever met someone through Internet? Would you consider be in a relationship with him/her? Is it possible? Did you know there are "mating networks"? I know people try to meet people through myspace, facebook, hi5 even youtube? but can it work? see my anecdote here, any comments are welcome.

Of course people will hook up and get hitched via the Internet. We are living in the Information Age. Before my current GF, I did hook up with some chicks here in Chicago via myspace, if I were single again, instead of looking for some local chick, I would probably check out some of those foreign women dating sites. I'm game for some travel and adventure.

I met my wife online by total accident, neither of us were looking, we just happened to be somewhere at the same time committing the same questionable acts of file sharing and bumped into each other. 9 months and a one way ticket to the USA later we were married, we are both very happy and have an absolutely gorgeous daughter.
Meeting people online can have some definite advantages over real life. In a new relationship, plenty of good sex can often cloud the fact that you may not have much in common or even really like each other. The fact that my wife and I were able to spend all those months just sitting in front of our computers talking to each other for hours every single night was a pretty good indicator of our compatibility.
The other advantage is that you can judge people so much more efficiently. In a bar containing 50 people, it would take many hours and painful conversations to rule people out in a process of trial and error, but in a forum or chat room, you can sit back and do a quick assessment of everybody present based on what they type, it eliminates a lot of guess work.
Before it happened to me, I thought meeting people online was for losers and weirdos, but it's becoming way more common and I think it will be responsible for many strong relationships due to the meeting people from the inside out, rather than the outside in aspect of it.

Didn't meet a GF or wife but I did meet some wonderful escorts that I'll keep seeing! :nanner:

Gives me some hope on online dating. Socializing in a world outside of college is hard.

 

[mrtrebus]

Yes, two of my friends have found love online, one is now happily married. The other is expecting her first child with her partner.

Some can find love on the internet, some can't find love on the internet. It all depends on the person, and the person you fall in love with. I wouldn't try to meet someone from the internet, that's not my thing.

 

[prof_porn]

Am hoping it works in the next 28 days.

The good old the grass is greener on the other side bull......Man you need to examine your surroundings more, chances are. their's some female you know that is attractive that you probably never ever thought of in that way....That if allowed to happen or pursued you'd find is excellent. Cliched I know but unfortunately all stereotypes hold elements of truth to them or they wouldnt exist.

 

[HELLRAISER]

I know of a couple who met online and got hitched. They were unhappily married until they divorced.

 

[Smallville417]

Yes, I know people who have, and are still happily married.

 

[LukeEl]

Yes it can work, it just takes alot of trial and error. And boy do I know about error.

 

[JP_Sandra]

I've never tried much online dating but, I know friends who have made it work for them.

My cousin just got married to someone he met on an online dating site. I've heard a lot of positive's. Never really heard of people meeting though myspace though (ironic) or at least people I know

 

[habo9]

Dunno suppose its just the same odds as not meeting on the internet

Saying that people I know who have done it have all split up , one girl I know got married and it didnt last 4 months but the girls a bit of an idiot anyway , my mates just split from a girl he had met online they were together for 3 years and she seemed ok

Me personally wouldnt do it though I have met girls I havent seen for years online and ended meeting up but not on dating sites I think thats a bit sad and tacky

 

[Master_Gio]

idk, it didn't work for me. In fact, i felt i got scammed, maybe it works for some. But for others, like me, it's an epic fail.

 

[superbus]

^
same thing for me
I've tried online dating some years ago for one and a half year and it didn't work for me, mainly because of the lack of attractive women. After some IRL meeting I've concluded that it must work well only in big city/built-up area with a good density of population, i.e a lot of choice.
Fitness-club are way more efficient to date some hot girls, and at least you can't cheat when you are half-naked, sweating all over your body:boobies::eyeso:...

That's what I think of too

 

[Red Spyder]

Well, considering that E-fucking-harmony :thefinger thinks that a 160 lb. guy is "compatible" with a 220 lb. cow.... grrrrr

 

[prof_porn]

In conclusion, after trying another site, spending hard earned money I cant afford to waste, online dating is a joke. I had 1 date, she didnt think it'd work out.

I will never try it again. I have tried 3 sites now. No more.

 

[FelixStrum]

Yup... I've watched a couple on TV, they've met on the internet and they've been married for 4 years... Her bride is a mail order...
