My friend was suggesting to me to try eharmony since it's so hard to meet nice guys nowadays. We go to clubs but it's the last place I want to meet a guy. I'm kinda iffy about it because what if the guys are married or not normal, but than I know this girl that met her future husband online. Just wondering if anyone here has ever meet their boyfriend/spouse via online.  |

I met my SO at a nightclub, and I know several who are married with children who met their beloveds at clubs, parties etc... Haveing said that, my SO's ex (they have a daughter together, so she is very much in our lives) met her fiancée on the net...they've bought a house and are planning on living happily ever after
the thing with love is...when you LEAST expect it, it sort of falls down on your head and your lost in loveland...
Good luck! |

Yes, I met my SO online...8 years ago. Wanna hear something funny.....it turns out he lived right down the street from me too 
A very small world we live in..we each had no idea we were neighbors until he told me where he lived.  I must say we didn't meet through an internet site like eHarmony or match.com--he was surfing the web and im'd me.  |

| I've never met a man online...as a single person with a young child, all I meet in my day to day are other parents with young children. Keep us informed, I might try it! |

| The cyber world was good to me and my SO. We did our first courting online. We met out (he came into town on business every few months and was in the process of relocating to where I lived) but I only gave him my email addy not ph # and we corresponded for months before he came back into town. We still have all of our "love letters" stashed on a zip drive somewhere-isn't that romantic? But it was a wonderful way to get to know someone. |

| I met mine in economics class - I don't have any online experiences to share. I imagine there are all sorts of people out there though, so good luck if that's the route you take! |

I met my last boyfriend over the internet and my current SO as well. The last one was over Compuserve way back when ... we "dated" for a few years but it was a long distance relationship (and different countries to boot!) so it never worked out. But I did get to do some travelling!
And then I met my SO online as well, but it was a more local "dating" site for our area. We chatted for a few weeks online before we met (in a public place) for our first "date". We've been together for 5 years now!
I think it's a great way to meet people, however, you do need to keep aware because I think there are alot of people out there who aren't truthful about themselves (in online dating sites). But it's worth checking out to find the ones that are good people who maybe just don't get out alot to places where they might meet someone. |

| I answered my husbands personal ad on "love @ aol." Looking at his picture, I actually thought he was a guy I used to know. We talked for a few nights online, then on the phone, then we had our first date. That was it. We've been together five years this past March and married for almost three years with two children. I never thought I would be the one to meet my special someone online. Funny how things work out. |

I went on one date from an on-line service, and I agree that people aren't always truthful about themselves. Being the natural sleuth that I am (well, a distrustful lawyer), I ran his name through the real estate records in his town (available on-line in many states) and learned that he was divorced. The fact that he was divorced didn't bother me, but it was that he described himself as "single" in his profile. "Single" and "divorced" are different, in my mind, and the on-line service had separate boxes to check for "single" and "divorced," so he deliberately chose one over the other.
Any-hoo, I went on the date anyway and while there never would have been a love connection there, by any means, I couldn't help but look at him as less than truthful. In fact, I wondered if he was hiding the fact that he had a child.
I decided to stop my short foray into on-line dating because I just didn't feel it was a natural process.
And low and behold, but a few months later, I met "the one" - in yoga class. |

| People tend to crack up when I tell them where I met my boyfriend. We met at No Frills (grocery store). He was a produce clerk and I was a cashier. It'd be year 8 this August. |

| My dad is trying to get out of a relationship with a woman he met online right now. She lied about her age, but the main problem is that she's crazy. Very unstable and controlling, and on top of that an alcoholic. My sister and I met her and we knew right off she was wacko, and we are glad he figured it out! Sometimes people go online for dating because they are hiding something (or many things!) and can't find anyone to put up with them in real life. Be careful! |

I have a similar story to share! Technically, I met my SO online ... I scoped his profile out on date.ca and then when we got talking on msn for the first time, we found out that we lived in the same building!!!!! So after that first chat, we met up in person and have been together ever since and I have also never chatted online with him since that first day, LOL
However, I can't say that all the people I have ever met online were positive experiences ... it really depends on what type of site you meet them in and also if you have a good idea what you are looking for. If you are seriously trying to hook up with someone genuinely, maybe try those sites that are most reputable and least "commercial" or casual. And I also found that it helps a lot if you know EXACTLY what you are looking for ... and if you can draw from past relationships, a list of what characteristics worked and what didn't. Keep an open mind and meet people with a positive attitude ... in the end, it will be all up to fate and chemistry which could happen anywhere and anytime, whether you meet online or another way. I figure an extra resource never hurts ... but at the same time, still be cautious.
Good luck! |

| WOW! Thank you everyone for sharing your experience and how you met your SO. I convinced my friend to do it too. IF we ever do meet anyone, at least we can both go together. I realize that there may be some people that fib about their profile or life but than again, there might be some honest people. But I'm happy to see that there are actual online relationships that worked out. I enjoyed reading all of these. Thank you. |
