| Do You Believe It is Possible to Find Your Future Husband/Wife via Online Dating?
Posted: 5/26/2008 7:11:35 AM | I just saw Fiona and Violet! They are my new nieces. How can I forget Willa she is 3 now. Heidi and Shawn met online and have been happily married ever since. 3 kids and they are both almost 40. Not for me but they are extremely happy!
She was married to her high school sweetheart for 10 years and we never knew he had a girlfriend at work. I have prom pictures with him in it!! He is sitting next to my ex-husband. | |

Posted: 5/26/2008 5:43:40 PM | I believe anything is possible, just don't be in such a big rush to settle down and get married. Make sure this one is the right one for you, and you are for him. Of course we all ask ourselves if this person is someone who we could spend forever with, just don't move too quick and pass up something more suitable for you.

Posted: 5/26/2008 6:15:32 PM | Sure it's possible. A lot has to do with your expectations and who you are/where you are in life.
It's buyer beware though, I think that's really really really important. The forums here are a good way to get educated (or bitter and jaded-take your pick). And remember always that many online are here for many reasons. Some aren't honest with themselves or others about their motivations for being online. 'nuff said.
The biggest key of all, IMHO, is to be completely aware of the reality that people you first meet online are not exactly the same "personae" that you would encounter were you to meet them in real life.
There's some benefit to that, i.e. what do you know about a random stranger's personality and other info that you might meet in a bar/coffee shop/grocery store, etc. vs. someone you've talked with online and then by phone before meeting. Key point: meeting in person is the only true test. It's sad to hear tales of people investing a lot of online time with someone, only to be disappointed when meeting in person.
Internet dating takes some luck, persistence, optimism and a good b.s. detector

Posted: 5/26/2008 6:23:10 PM | Yes I do...I have three friends that are married to men that they met online..
Two of those women both married men from Australia that they very rarely saw during their courtship.
I really think you'll most likely hear more of the horror stories before you hear about the success stories. Nice to hear of some happy endings... | |

Posted: 5/26/2008 6:35:24 PM | | I know of 7 couples who met through match.com and are still married.. I havent been looking which is why I havent found anyone, not ready I guess. I could be in a relationship (married with a house) now if I wanted, met him here, but I wasnt sure about him, still not sure if I made the right choice in leaving | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 10:38:43 PM | Absolutely it's possible. Just go look at the number of success stories in the Forums here on POF.
I remember reading about a study some University did on the topic. It pointed out that those that meet on-line are more apt to open up and tell the other exactly what they feel and think on various touchy subjects that might take months to come out meeting that same person in person. It's easier to expose your heart and feelings to your computer screen then to that real live person sitting across or next to you in a coffee shop or restaurant. I know from personal experience. I have shared things about myself to someone on-line that might never be shared while in a face to face dating situation. Sure, it ran some off. But better to know now then wasting time and emotions before getting comfortable and involved enough to get hurt by reactions later. If both parties are being honest and up-front, I think meeting and sharing information about each other can speed up the getting to know you process. In other words, easier and less risky talking about some issues on-line then in person. So you get to know that person even better and faster then meeting locally.
Just go look at the forums ands look at the topics that I know the posters would never talk someone face to face. Hell, some of them embarrass, turn off, and shock me, and that's not easy to do! lol | |
