    It's not crazy at all! I met my husband on MySpace! We've been dating nearly 8 years and married for a year next month. I moved to a whole different country to be with him! Best decision I've made in my life.

    Good luck!

    Awww what a great story, can't wait to hear how it turns out!

    I was in the same boat, kind of - lots of paralells to your experience, we met on MFP, started challenges together to keep each other motivated and accountable, 3 hour time difference, talked and enjoyed that BUT unfortunately, he's not interested in this long distance thing EVER so it's over other than remaining MFP pals. Am glad to see that there are brave souls out there following their hearts,

    Really wish the best for you and enjoy the time!!!

    That is a super sweet story!

    I met my husband online through a fan club of our favorite band. His girlfriend of 2 years had just dumped him and as luck would have it my boyfriend of 2 years had just dumped me. We bonded over that and I told him to message me if he wanted to talk. He lived in FL and I lived in NY. We met when I traveled down there for spring break. We remained friends as distance was hard. Two years of being long distance friends we decided to just go for it. We were married 4 months after that. We had only seen eachother face to face twice before that! Some times you just know.
    We celebrated our 5 year anniversary in May and we have a 2 year old. I absolutely believe everything happens for a reason.

    Not crazy at all. I met my husband online 12 years ago. It was a long distance international relationship, but it was worth it to us to meet, see if it was possible and figure out how to make it work. I now live in Canada/have Canadian citizenship, married 10 years, have a 6 year old son and life is pretty damn good. I wish you all the best and happiness <3

    That is really sweet, I hope it works out for you both.

    I met one of my best friends online and he lives across the world from me, the internet is an amazing place. If you can weed through all the bullsh!t there are some great people to meet.

    I met my husband online 15 or so years ago at this point. We were just friends for years. Chatted constantly. But I was in Michigan and he in Massachusetts. I was terrified of the distance. After a bad relationship and him being there for me yet again, I decided to just go for it. That first visit is crazy. It's amazing to see the person face to face and a little challenging to force your brain to make the connection that it really is him. By the time the visit was over, we knew we didn't want to be apart.

    There were definitely rough times over the year where we were long distance (mostly when you really need a hug after a crappy day), but he was worth it.

    It can definitely work. Good luck :)

    I'm so excited for y'all! You've spent hours and hours communicating before any physical relationship. That can be a good thing. I hope y'all have a great time together!

    A little over three month ago...I friended a man across the country from me( and he better be happy I didnt think about the 3 hour time difference then!!!)...he was cute....Almost instantly, the connection between us was nausiating to our friends... ( Sorry guys)...we both were wanting to start JM 30DS and it seemed like a good way to hold each other accountable and a fun way to stay motivated...#s were exchanged via messaging...and then the first call...

    Let me step back for a moment...I am from SC...and have a VERY heavy southern accent ( I am kinda sensitive about it) and had warned him before calling about it. I was so nervous about him hearing me...but at the same time, could not wait to talk to him...that first call was PRICELESS, ambulance sirens and dying phone battery ( still dont think he believes this story)....that call ended and I could not wait to talk to him again...he texted me how much he enjoyed talking to me and loved my voice ( first obstacle overcome!!)...and to make a very long story a little shorter...we talked for literally hours on end EVERY day since that first call...he pushes me and I know I push him...we have a deep friendship even though we have NEVER met in person....and here comes my question and set up....

    He purchased a plane ticket to come see me...60 days out...I was beyond excited...and scared at the same time. I have been alone for nearly 10 years, and did not need a man to complicate my happy little carefree life....

    Tonight...we are 13 days and mere hours from seeing each other face to face... I have talked to his children on the phone, I have friended his mom on FB...both of us have talked more to each other than anyone else we have had traditional relationships....I know there is a lof of flirting on this site...I get that...this isn't the casual flirt...

    My question is...have any of you fallen in love with someone on MFP...have you met any of the people on your list? i don't need the validaton, just curious if I am alone. I know many people will think this is CRAZY ( I would be one of those btw!) But keep in mind, I am almost 40...not lonely...and could date if I chose to....

    Anyone in the same boat?

    Totally in the same boat, almost exact same time frame too. 13 days to go also. Cept I'm an Aussie and she's from California. I have a trip planned already but she is going to fly out to Chicago and spend the time I'm there with me. We joke and talk about the future as well but it's hard to gauge and not be too carried away as of yet lol.

    Anythings possible!

    Awwww my boyfriend is an Aussie and I'm from California too!! We've been together almost 2 years now and I honestly have never been happier in a relationship. Yea, it sucks not being able to see each other for months at a time but I feel like you shouldn't push away true love just because it's a difficult situation. I actually talk to him more than I talk to my friends that only live a mile from me haha. Don't listen to people who say it won't work out. Anything is possible and you'll never know for sure until you try!!! Good luck to all of you guys! <3

    As fate would have it, I'm in the same boat as you. ;) And yes, I believe it will work.

    Can't wait. 13 more days . . .

    :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Awwwwww so cute...but seriously if she doesn't post after 15 days I'm calling the police. Just so you know :)

    Awesome! AND good thinking!

    Well, at first I was all excited because I am hopping into that boat too.

    And then I realized that this was last month...and I died a little inside...


    But, you can find it in the strangest of places.

    Aw :-( I was so hoping for a happy ending! Met my hubby online through a dating site, he told me I lived too far away (200 miles), we happened to meet up in person at a group meet, he moved in 16 weeks later after we did the weekend drives and we married the following year.

    All the absolute best! I hope everything goes well for the both of you (: I met my current boyfriend online and we've now been together for over two years. We did long distance (6000KM/8 hour plane ride) for over a year, and it was only after the first six months did we get to meet each other in person. It went wonderfully, and I made my university choice based on our relationship and his location, so I'm now only an hour and a half away from it via train (:
