Met someone from the internet, and if so, did you click, end up friends or just end it? How many? Are you here to "take that chance" or just to "make friends"?




(This topic has probably been done before, but I couldn't find it)

I've met 2 men from the internet. They lived with in an hour from me.
I dated the 1st for a month or so, we became friends, I even babysat his 2 little kids because I "fell in love with THEM", not him. We are still friends to this day, chat on yahoo, and he stops by to see how we are.

The other one, met him virtually on myspace, chatted off and on through email. Then gradually graduated to phone and yahoo and web cam. We met and dated 2 weeks. I had to sooooooo let him go!! He was such a P L A Y E R!! OMG, I laugh just thinking about him in his brand new cowboys boots, (just to impress me) or not...He took me off his myspace because I was leaving comments..I asked him why.."I don't want my gramma to read them, she sometimes reads my myspace profile".

I bout peed my pants laughing at him over the phone..I may have been born in the dark, but it sure wasn't last night!!!

So, have you, would you, will you, are you serious about it?
If they were within driving distance. Of course, I had them come to me, I know it's not safe.

I've met tons of people from online. Men and women at gatherings and stuff. I've never had a serious thing with anyone I met from online. Had a few dates and stuff, but people ARE different in person.

I tend to do better in a group setting on a 1st meet/date thing. In the past, I'd always make my brother in law and my sister come with me if I'd met someone new or was meeting them.

Like when I met those 2...I had my kids around me, the 1st did too, (his were really little) mine in their teens. At a restruant.

2nd, he came here, and my kids wouldn't leave me alone ....I love my kids soooo much...Wish my son in laws would have booted him before 2 weeks though...LOL




You're quite welcome, Dan!

I have met a lot over the past nine years some I still keep in touch with. I even have a Dear friend in Australia; I got to meet her and her husband 3 years ago.

Met a few, some are still friends and some disappeared into the sunset. Lived and learned that internet dating is one dimensional so usually, I like to have phone conversations prior to agreeing to meet. Finding someone to date would be nice but friendships are better and long lasting.

Yeah, distance does become a problem!

But, love has no distance or boundaries, right?

Ive met a lot of friends from the internet dated 1 but that's all. The rest are strictly friends. Who knows what may happen down the road though.

that sounds good in theory, but Life has a way of making it impossible for some.
I still choose to believe Love overcomes all,
but I have seen the reality of obligations and commitments.
