Yes it is.  In my situation I have met someone in a on line dating service.  We met several months ago, after many prayers, and searching.  He and I basically complete each other.  It is possible, but when it comes to Internet dating, always be careful.

hey, i went online, maybe you can too.  I've gotten lots of attention but haven't found anyone yet that I'm interested in dating full time.  It takes time but if you meet this person online, you could get to know her a little better and then maybe after a few emails, a few message sessions, and a few phone calls you might actually work up your courage to go on a date.  It might work!

Yes.  I moved to another place about 6 - 7 hours away from my previous address.  Then all of a sudden a former female co-worker / friend of mine e-mailed me and basically professed her love to me and that she was willing to have a long distance relationship.  \n\nI was totally caught by surprise!  To make a long story short, I told her that I was not interested and that we should just be friends because most likely long distance relationships won't work.  Besides, I was never into her.  Sure, I was friendly to her, but I had no intentions in going further.  \n\nThen I got a barrage of hateful e-mails from her that lasted for 2 weeks.   I just ignored each of her hateful e-mails, and she never e-mailed me back, and I never heard from her again.

I think that any relationship online is ridiculous.\n\nYou need to wake up and realize that going out into public and meeting peopl eis the only way to meet "the one" anyone u meet online could be bsin u.\n\nGood gracious people WAKE UP!!

I would just leave it be.  You will always have experiences that will tickle your fancy, but since you met this dude online and he does not even remember you, I would just let it pass.  Plenty of real people to meet out there in reality land.

Probably not, you haven't been together v.long so they're probably from before you even met. But why were you looking through his draws?

yes. we got to know each other as friends.. didn't really share many pics. talked for fun.\n\nmet  3 mos later when he was in my state and decided what the hell and to meet for coffee. we had 5 amazing dates before he had to leave and we got to know each other even more when he left again for 3-4 mos.\n\nwe had to work our schedules around talking being on opposite sides of the world. really got to know the real other person b/c we were friends first and talked about a million things. read books and discussed them. asked questions from several dating books. had to communicate with words, written and spoken. didn't take each other for granted. \n\nwe had lived and worked just 10 minutes from each other but were too busy with our jobs to meet otherwise. we now live together and have 2 cats. we started talking may 2005. the dates when he was home was aug 2005. he came home dec 1 2005. we recently moved in together because we were really only apart for about 15 days in the last 8 months.

No, cuz a lot of the time they live too far away. If you go to a chat room w/ peeps who are local, then they may make up excuses NOT to meet up or something. There seems to alwayz be a catch. Take me for example, I wanna meet my friend Mikey. Just to meet. But he wasn't able to meet me. That or he didn't want to :( Well actually, maybe it IS easier ... "to get a gf online" that is. Just that the rel (if there is one) won't be anything physical. Not til the 2 of you decide to meet. Mikey & my friend (who are going out :s) plan on meeting one day. They haven't yet. They broke up but got back together. I think that they're both desperate for a rel... shhhhhhh don't tell them I said dat :$ Also, he's had another online gf. But she lived reeeeeeeally far up north... Hrs away... She ended up cheating on him w/ her ex when she went to visit Mikey... :s How do you know if the person is who they say they are anywayz ? & if their feelings are real ?

Met my wife online. We have been married 5 years now. I encourage people to meet each other but at the same time be smart and take safety measures.

I met a guy online 6 years ago and fell in love with him that very night. We talked online daily and on the phone every Friday night and Sunday afternoon. 2 years later he flew here to meet me. I will never ever forget seeing him for the very first time.  My heart was pounding so hard I could hardly breathe. Words cannot express the love I felt at that very moment.\n\nRemember...\nIt takes time to know people.  To know if they are for real.\nAnd always meet in a public place for the first few times.  Trust your gut feeling, mine never lets me down.\n\nGood luck and be careful.

It is possible to fall in love with someone you've come to know on-line.  I've known couples who have met on-line and are happily married.  I believe it is completely possible.  Congratulations on finding that someone special.\n\nI suggest you plan on setting up a meeting, and see if that same chemistry exists outside of cyberspace.  Sometimes people feel much more comfortable and are able to be themselves when there's a computer between them, than when they are there in person.  Give it some time and effort and hopefully you'll have a connection in real life that is as strong or stronger than the one you have via email.\n\n"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get--only with what you are expecting to give--which is everything.

I just celebrated my 4th anniversary with someone I met on the internet.\n\nWhat bothers me here is, "just met".  I think that you need to be VERY CAREFUL!!!!\n\nThere are alot of crazies out there and you need to make sure that you protect yourself.\n\nWhen I "first met" my other half, we talked back and forth on the internet for a few months.  This gave a chance to see "who" each other really were, and "if" we were really interested in one another.  When we both felt good about that we proceeded to the telephone. This was the 1st step to being a bit more personal. We spoke to each other on the phone for another couple of weeks. It was not until we had done all of this, that we decided to meet, face to face for the 1st time.  We arrived in seperate cars, had dinner at Outback Steak House, (a VERY public place), and ended the evening in seperate cars. Our first few dates went very much the same way.  I always let someone else know where I was going to be and with who.\n\nMy suggestion is to take it very s l o w  and easy.

i met my boyfriend online...

SNAP!!!!!!\n\ndid the same thing with a guy i met on her too. stayed up all hours just chatting about stuff and listing old songs! \n\nok, here's what i think. when you meet someone you just 'click' with, it is easy to get carried away with yourself and be consumed with it all. thats not to say that there is not anything serious there. all i am saying is reality is often different to fantasy.\n\nme and the guy i'm still chatting too met a couple of weeks ago. he is a great guy but i think we both felt that reality was a little different. we still chat and i am due to see him again shortly.\n\nwhat we decided was to take things slowly, get to know eachother better as friends as see what develops from that. it's the most sensible option i think.

If you and who you are corresponding to are upfront and honest I dont see why not. I know some very successful couples who have met on the net. Follow your intuition and just be careful the net like all places do have some "unusual" people who are best avoided.
