Online Relationships

I met my fiance online, and it has been working out perfectly. We met on the social-networking site, MySpace, about two years and seven months ago. We clicked instantly and started going out after about three days of talking. We didn't end up actually meeting in-person until about nine months into the relationship, but it was so worth the wait. Since then, we have been seeing each other every three months. Stavros will be moving up year next summer and I cannot wait. Love is love regardless of where or how you meet the person.
I met him on Tagged last 2009, first we were just online business friends doing those pay per click ads, internet marketing etc. then as we go on chatting we felt more comfortable then POP love was there. Then early Feb last year, he decided to split up with me because of distance and he also confessed he met somebody there & thought its impossible for us to be together (though he said he didn't liked to split to me) & wanted me to be friends but its not easy so I eliminated him from my list and also I did not pushed thru the business because I didn't want any communication with him anymore. One mistake though is that I forgot we have friends in common in facebook so this year, I was surprised to get a friend request from him. I was already moved on & I forgot everything on him & I thought he's living in with his supposed gf so I just accepted his request w/o any intention to get close to him again. But then he confessed that his now ex-gf turned out to be a bad woman & a liar. He searched for me in every site because per him, he realized that he still loves me & want me back. Felt sorry for what he did to me in the past & he wished that I give him another chance & this time around he decided to be with me for the rest of his life.... But what makes me a bit worried is that even if he's dead serious on me, I'm afraid if things wouldn't work out good between us as I know things are pretty much diff in person than here in internet. Though I don't have problem in terms of his culture since were both Hispanics, my granny is originally from Malaga & speak the same language (yes, me despite being here in a totally different country) but it doesn't automatically follow that we are compatible.
Anyway thanks for all your advices, I really appreciate it. It makes me feel somewhat relieved. I'll definitely keep all of that in my mind0 -

There are two different sides of this...
Myself and one of my childhood friends.
Over a year and a half ago after going through a divorce somebody who I had been online friends(from a different message board/forum) with me for about 4 years showed interest..
I took a chance despite some misgivings about distance, trusting somebody... and of course my family was concerned about the situation
It was about 6 months before we first met. And that meeting was amazing, it's like we had always been together.
Since then we see eachother every month and a half or so.
He's searching for a job here. My family loves him, my children love him.
I look forward to spending my life with him and am still quite shocked it came from the internet.
My childhood friend
She went to school with this guy and they rekindled their friendship on facebook(I have no recollection of this character)..anyhow they were "in a relationship" for about a year. He had asked her to marry him, talked about their plans.. it was always "soon" or "as soon as I sell my car" always different excuses. Everytime something came up and she questioned things, he would literally threaten to kill himself.
Anyway as of last night she finds he does this to a lot of women and it was all a ruse. Do not even ask me why a man would do any of this.
But there are times it works, and times it doesn't. You have to make sure you are blatantly honest. Both of you. Google him, get info on him. Once you get to know his family and friends you'll probably feel a lot more secure.
So good luck to you.. I'm blissfully happy so I hope you get my result.0 -
i had a very internet based relationship last year, i didn't meet him online, i met him on holiday, but we kept in touch via skype, yahoo chat and fb. it progressed and i become very involved, he was based in the united states and i'm in the uk. i gave it up, as i couldn't afford the trips back and forth. it isn't something i would do again, it broke my heart :-(0
