    Other than the fact that I am married. I have yet to see a good relationship work out from online... I know of a few people that ended up getting married but their relationships are relation****s.

    Since I'm married, probably not...but I do believe that some relationships can start from meeting online. Actually, I know of two relationships that made it from the online dating to marriage.

    And like the statistics say, it's 50/50. Both couples are still married. One looks like a healthy relationship...the other, not so much....

    Meeting someone online now days is just as viable a place as the book store or coffee shop. It's how you choose to proceed with the relationship that determines whether it turns to s*** or not.

    Same here, but why not - similar interests etc...

    Not somebody who I was just talking to online. That's weird. I want to hold/touch/feel the person I'm dating.

    My girlfriend is on MFP with me, so I suppose that would be a yes. Only her, though. :wink:

    I am proof that online relationships do work. My fiance and I are getting married in 7 months, we met online almost 4 years ago when he was deployed to Iraq. Talked for 8 months before we met in person, spent a month together and then he went to finish his active duty in Germany for 5 months. We made it but i think it all depends on who the two individuals are.

    I met my husband online, and he is a better man than any of the other guys I had dated who I met through school or friends. lol

    I agree that meeting someone online is just as reasonable as meeting someone at a bar etc.

    I see no reason not to date someone you met on line. Is that the question? You meet where you meet! GO for it!

    I met my hubby on the internet. We just had our 12th wedding anniversary and all's well :)

    There are three components:
    1. You must have a common interest (in our case, it was computer games and we met on a message board for one of them, so I was able to see how he interacted with other posters over about two years before anything happened.
    2. When you meet in person, the pheromones have to be right.
    3. You have to take a good objective look at the person s/he is, and if possible, get some kind of a reference from a third party not suggested by them directly, i.e. hey, is that guy/girl good people? any problems you know of? Don't jump into it.

    Other than that, it's what you make it.

    If I wasn't engaged..I think I'd be open to it. I met my fiancee online almost 7 years ago, and we haven't parted since. :smile:

    I'm guessing that the question should have been phrased "would you date someone you met on MFP?" because some people are responding like they would date through MFP - as in, never meet in person, "date" through the internet... that's a ridiculous thought... that's not dating, that's communicating with someone, as we all do here in the forums.

    Now, date someone I met here? Yep. Absolutely. Already have common ground, understanding, and support. Again, wholeheartedly,YUP!

    <-- Single.
