I didn't...and I never have met anyone over the internet.

I would say yes. My fiance dated a roommate of mine for like 2 dates. I met him for 15 seconds. Somehow he got added to my AIM and I asked him "who the F are you? and how did you get my name?" 9 months later he asked me out. 6 years later we are getting married.

nope!

I would never MET the guy or girl however, I almost met a guy. Glad I didn't because I was terribly young at the time!

There is nothing wrong with meeting anyone on line either through MySpace or AIM. I met my fiancee on Hot or Not and we are getting married October 4th of this year. It is no worse then getting drunk in the bar and meeting someone they can lie to just as well online as in person. The only major difference is confirming how they look. So in that way it is like a blind date.

I met several boyfriends and my hubby at http://personals.ufies.org/. It's certainly hit or miss but at least it's free.

I owe my current relationship to match.com and I still can't believe it! I signed up because I had just moved to a new city and I didn't know anyone, and was not up to trying to go to a bar alone to meet people. I found a real cutie and when we started emailing we found out that we had several mutual friends in common and had "almost" met several times! I think that maybe sooner or later we may have met on our own, but the internet certainly sped things up! After our first date we relied heavily on "technology" to get closer and talk (text messages, IM, email) and I think that made me feel less awkward about having met him online.

I know some people like online dating for different reasons, we do everything else online, why not use it to break the ice... cause thats all it really is, a way to say "hey" without having to do it at a bar. Plus I always thought it was a little like online shopping, you browse and see what you like... you don't "buy" unless you know you want it!

I met my husband through friends on LiveJournal. This year will be our 6th anniversary. I didn't join LJ looking to meet anyone, just to share stuff with my friends. Sometimes things happen in unexpected ways. He is my match in so many ways but also different enough to keep high strung me balanced. And my mother likes him more than me.

I met my husband the old fashioned way...in a bar! But! My MIL met her second husband online, and my Mom met her boyfriend of the last 10 years online so I don't think there is anything wrong with it. It depends on your own individuality.

I met my boyfriend online, he went to the same college as me but was a few years ahead, so we would probably bump into each other eventually, but the internet really made it happen, we got talking and enjoyed it, and then we went on a date and have been together ever since, almost 3 years now!

I don't know if can consider 'meeting' my boyfriend online. We were classmates back in elementary school, never spoke to him back then. You know the whole boys have 'cooties' thing when you're 8.

Any hows, I eventually moved and never stayed in touch with anyone, but since his dad was mayor of the town I was in back then, his name was easily remembered. Saw his profile on friendster, sent a message to him just to say hi...ended up dating him. We've been together 10 months now, and it's been great.

I haven't done online dating, but I certainly would. (If I weren't married of course!)

Yes! We've been dating for almost 3 years now! Don't underestimate meeting people online. You just have to be careful.

I met my boyfriend the old-fashioned way, but I have met friends online through blogs and MySpace, Facebook, etc. I have one friend who I never knew when we went to high school together, but we became friends through our blogs after she moved out of state.

I met mine online. We only communicated online for about 1 week and decided to meet face-to-face. That was about 1-1/2 yrs ago and we will be getting married next month. Yay!

Nope, I prefer meeting people in the real world. I have met a friend online and eventually in person though. We have been talking online for about 8 years and met in person about 2 years ago. we meet for lunch every couple months to have some girl talk.

I didn't meet my boyfriend online.

Yep, we met online. We've been together for 6 years now. At about the same time another friend of his met someone the same way and they're still together, too.

Sure I did. I met him reading our blogs. But before that I never trust on cyber-love. That's why we should never say never.

Yes. The best thing to ever happen to me. It was a rare moment and certainly not planned but almost two years ago I stumbled upon the love of my life. Since then my world has been turned upside down.

I agree never say never.

I met my boyfriend of almost 2 years on myspace On there, you get lots of messages like, "hey baby, wanna (fill in the blank)?" My boyfriend actually sent me a really sweet message complimenting me on my eyes & saying it would make his day if I responded. We met in person a week later & have hardly been separated since!

I met my husband on MySpace (not looking for a date; we were in the same online political interest group). We wrote to each other nearly every day for a year before we ever met (which was completely by chance; we ran into each other at a BBQ!) and it was nearly two years before we went on our first date - and were married within 6 months. Still going strong!

No, I haven't dated anyone that I met online. However, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I met him online, but NOT through any services. We were penpals!

I met my boyfriend online through Match.com. We spent a few weeks talking back and forth and slowly progressed into phone calls before our first date. It broke the ice and was a really easy way to meet someone who I connect with in multiple levels.

Don't get me wrong...I met some duds online as well. It happens.

However my father met his finance on Match.com as well.

I met my husband 9 years ago to the day, April 3rd 1999, on Yahoo! Personals. We married one year later. I have never been happier. Our 8th anniversary is this Saturday.

i met my first boyfriend online through AOL profiles of all things... lol
i also met my now husband through hot or not/ myspace
ive also met a few people for *cough* dates online as well... lol

I met my boyfriend 4 years ago on Orkut, an early Facebook/Friendster kind of thing. Neither of us was looking for love really, but found each other through friends of friends. I did also meet 2 guys on match.com but they were weeeeird. I think the internet is a great place to meet people, but not necessarily through dating websites.

Thank you AIM buddy search for letting me find my wonderful love bug!

I met him in real life and we now both work for an online company

my fiance and i met on myspace. i so was NOT looking to date someone from the computer...but after he messaged me on there i knew we had to meet. now, over 3 years later, we have a dog and have been living together for 2 years. we'll be getting married in august!

My beau and I met through a forum for our car - just so happens we both have a very rare japanese car. Talked for 4 years online before his dad bought him a plane ticket to see me for his birthday. Haven't been seperated for the last 5 months and i've even moved halfway around the world! Its never a BAD idea as long as you stay safe

I met my husband in person, but I've made a ton of friends online.

I met my fiance in person at college. I don't really have anything against meeting someone online and maybe if I was single I'd try it, but i perfer meeting people in the real world.

My uncle found his current wife on one of those big matchmaking sites like eharmony.com or match.com.. everyone in my family was skeptical of the idea at first, but I think they seem pretty happy; no big fights or whatever like with his last wife.

I honestly wouldn't mind trying it; especially for free. I'm tech-savvy, and it's much easier for me to talk online with people I don't know than it is in "the real world" sometimes.

I met my boyfriend of 2 yrs on Myspace. I've also met several people that have become good friends from there as well.

It was OKCupid for me. Cute site with personality tests (user-generated).

DC is all about CraigsList... weird, isn't it? you can find a job, a bike, a pet, an apartment and a boyfriend all on one site.

Every serious relationship I've ever been in started over the internet, save for one. And that "one" was still, technically, because of the internet. He and his room mate were really good friends with my mom & step-dad online and came to visit our family. He and I met and hit it off. 4.5 years later, we're still together and I classify him as my "not-legal" husband.

And, as I've mentioned before, I'm polyamorous, so bear with me on this next part..

I met my (legal) husband online, in an online video game, to be precise. He's from England, I'm from the states. We fell head over heals, he came to visit a few months later, and then when he came back a few months after that, he proposed the night he got here

So, technically, I met both of the loves of my life via the internet

yep! i have done so a couple times, and i've had my share of disasters. but i also my current boyfriend online and i couldn't be happier. it's really an excellent way to meet people if you are shy like i am.

I met my fellow on a discussion and media-sharing forum. We were both really skeptical of the idea, and neither of us were looking for a relationship. But our personalities hooked, and we started communicating via phone every day. He was scared to meet me in person for a long time, because he's heavy and self-conscious about it. Thought it would scare me away. After more than a year of phone-calls, I got one that said "I'm ten minutes away," and we've been happily dating ever since. Almost two years now. He's extra nice!

Does "meeting" someone mean like... officially meeting them IRL? I've met about a billion people online, ever since I was 12. Most of my best friends I knew exclusively online. Ha, and this was before myspace and facebook.

I know it sounds scary, but that's what happens when parents lock their kids in the house (I was barely allowed to go to the mall! I had to ask a week in advance), but then don't monitor what their kids do online. I kept myself out of trouble, only meeting about 3 people IRL. They were all good experiences too (only one was for dating, the others just close friends).

Seriously, my experience online has always been perceived as a sort of "internet danger news alert", especially for how young I started. I would never regret a thing though.

When changing colleges I technically meet my current boyfriend in an AIM chat (lots of random people going to the college were invited in). I guess that counts

Oops hit "submit" too fast... and we can't edit our comments?

I've "dated" people I've "met" online. Those sort of gushy fake relationships when you have when you're like 14 and swear you're in love. I thought a lot of the time that it was serious, too. Again, no regrets since I learned a lot! I was the quiet girl in HS keeping out of all the drama but was secretly just going through all of it online. Weird, huh?

Yup, I guess that's all I have to say about that.

I just don't like the idea of meeting someone so important over the Internet. Seems a little odd to me. Besides, everyone kinda puts on a facade so it's hard to tell who is genuine.

Yes, met online, but we met when the internet was still the virtual machine.

Oh lol.. yes my boyfriend found me on hi5. He liked my profile and messaged me. Here in Malta it's very common but I wasn't looking for a boyfriend online. Now I'm happy

I met my husband of two years on hot or not dot com! Our success story is on their page!

Hell yeah! I met THEE love of my life on ICQ no less, over 4 years ago. I moved 1700 miles to be with him here in Oklahoma, and in October of 2007 we got married. Life is amazing with him.

When I met him online, he didn't sugarcoat who he was and he was very genuine. He let me know what his faults were, and luckily his faults didn't bother me. When we met in person, he was even better than I thought.

When you chat online, make sure you become friends first...I stop chatting with idiots when they ask me what my bra size is in the first stages of meeting online. Another thing, don't trust them completely until you talk to their friends or their parents, which I did. People will hide their bad qualities, or worse sometimes. It's hard sometimes to find a guy online that isn't a jerk or a creep. So, don't LOOK for someone, just let things fall into place and TAKE IT SLOW.

Never had a relationship that you met onlne? Don't knock it until you try it. And be careful when you do.

Yes, I did! And we're getting married tomorrow!

JoyJoy, I did the same thing, although I didn't have a pc, I'd go to the local library or a friend's house to chat online. But I chatted on ICQ (remember when that was the big thing?). Sounds like we might have actually met online at one point, as friends of course. Kudos to you for learning your lessons, as I did too.
