Me and Frosties met in a chat room. Being going strong now for 6 months. He doesn't know that Ive been cheating on him with grayham yet though :eek:
 
Theres a difference between looking for someone and it just happening.
If you go looking, your sad. If it just happens after you've met, whats the difference?
Having said that, ive done it once, and wont again.....
 
I have a lot of interests that none of my 'real' friends share. I've enjoyed meeting folks from various discussion forums and having conversations. I will probably never meet most of them, but it doesn't matter.

I know a guy who met his fiance online, and it worked out for them. As a matter of fact they are enjoying a romantic get away together right now.

I still have to think that to deliberately set out to find a woman via computer is freakish. Think about it. It's for guys who are so low, they can't even get satisfaction from masturbating. That's low.

If you met through BigFooty I would still class it as a net relationship simply because if it wasn't for the net you probably would never have met up at the footy.

I know its pathetic Mishy but i tell ya, thats whats going on out here on the net i betcha!! I mean how would you know!
 
The stories of married people leaving their partners for some weird cowboy toss they met on the net over in USA crack me up.

Seriously Ive met some tops people thanks to the internet (no love matches though besides FF and grayham), the initial thought of it being 'nerdy' really have passed for me, must be used to it :cool:

I know of one from Canada who gave up her family to come to Australia. Her love interest told her he is wealthy and now she is living in less than comfortable accommodation and has no money to get back home. Her husband thinks it's funny and I can't say I blame him. The word gullible springs to mind. I think people just have to know how to handle themselves on the net but I guess if they are vulnerable it can be difficult to sort out what is genuine and what is not.

I disagree. Internet is the worst way to meet people, if that is your intention whilst being on the internet. Its rife with social ******s, creeps who prey on youngsters, pathalogical liars and other weirdo's.

And so is real life.

The internet is full of many perfectly nice people also, all the people I have met from online turned out to be great people, and I've made some wonderful friends.

lol, thankyou! :)

how is it a net relationship when we barly talk on the net at all? we're pretty much never on at the same time so never talk or anything on the net.

sure we met at a bigfooty meeting thingy at the footy, but it wasnt until then they we started to like eachother...

Man, I really am outta the loop........
 
I've never done it, but I can certainly understand how it could happen. I've met a lot of friends over the net, quite a few from BigFooty.
But I certainly can't understand people getting engaged to people they've never met in real life. I don't see anything wrong with a couple meeting over the net, but it can't stay there - if it starts getting serious they'd need to spend some time together in "real life"; otherwise how can they know who they're really getting hitched to.
But nothing wrong with meeting online. Safer and a better atmosphere than a sleazy nightclub where you're judgement is affected by alcohol, not to mention the drunken drive/taxi ride home.

Well I met my ex online, we talked on the net for starters but then spent every night on the phone........ we met after a couple of weeks, then things got very serious. We managed to keep it going for 4 months apart because we had a strong friendship in the first place and we knew the waiting would be worth it.

Unfortunately in my case there is a cast of thousands involved, being that we met in chat and people knew we were meeting up and assumed the rest. We've both had problems outside the relationship and it's all built up to a point where we had THE most spectacular fight for all to see and we ended up tearing each other apart. We do love each other but we won't make it.
 
People who go on the net looking for love are cowards and probably are stalkers and have no life at all. Its totally pointless. It's not real love unless you know the person. However with that said, I seem to be repeating what everyone is saying regarding the next bit. If you say meet the person and then developing feelings after you spend a lot of time with them and things start happening, then its not a problem because you know them better than what you did in the first place.

I have heard a few stories from a friend about Internet relationships. Thought you might like to hear them. We somehow started talking about it whilst running last week after he told me his day at work coz thats when he heard them.

Case 1: There was this lady who said she went over to the US to meet some guy off the internet. Anyway, she spent 4 months there when came back to Australia and she found out she got pregnant. Doesn't hear from him though.

Case 2: There is this family. The father of their kids was telling my friend how he met his wife off the Internet. He said that they got talking to each other on the net, met and things got serious and it happened and they got married after a few years. They now have I think 2 kids or its 3 and have got a happy life.

In case 1, she was stupid in the first place.

In case 2, there was nothing wrong with what happened. They developed feelings after they spent time together and it went on further and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it becasue he didnt' feel anything before they met.
 
Met online, THEN met in real life, fall in love etc <---Cool

Met online, 'fall in love' online, then meet <---Not so good an idea


Example - I used to frequent a chat room, we started to put together a few 'proper' social occasions, pub nights etc. from that group, 2 couples got married and in addition I've been with my partner for 5 years quite happily (though not married), but the point is all the 'falling in love' happened in normal conditions - it's just the method of meeting that was a bit different. None of us were going to the chatroom looking for love so to speak either. I don't know if thats a factor.

Example 2 - A guy in NZ I knew (same chatroom) quit his job as a vulcanoligist, sold his house, flew to hawaii to meet 'the love of his life', an American gal who didnt bother showing up. Not such a good outcome - point is he blew his wad before he met the girl

Relationships start, and break up for any number of reasons. Usually if people dump someone for someone else they met 'online' there was an underlying problem with the relationship anyway. People always 'blame the internet for my wife leaving me'. I'm not convinced that its always the internets 'fault'

Theres nothing wrong with meeting online, it's merely another way of meeting people with similar intrests. No big deal there - a century ago people got married after pen pal 'romances', and its just the modern equivelent.

The point is you need to USE COMMONSENSE - make it REAL before you get too involved. the big problem is too many people fall for the concept of 'romance with the mysterious stranger' and end up falling on their faces.
 
Read this somewhere once:

"Never fall in love until after you meet, the imagination is capable of tricking you when reality isn't there to intervene".

I think some people are more in love with the excitement of meeting someone so far away.
