    I met my BF on MFP a year ago. It was in a thread talking about King Cake (we both live in Louisiana). We started emailing back and forth, then AIM chatting, and finally met IRL on March the 10th, 2011. We have been together ever since. We live about 20 miles away from each other. We spend every weekend together, and he usually comes over one night mid-week as well.

    We talk about getting married one day, though it will be at least another year or 2 before that happens. He is a very sweet guy, and I completely felt like I knew him before we met because we talked SOOO much (daily - all day long. I do software support and sit online all day, he is an IT manager and sits online all day, lol).

    Good luck! Just be safe!

    Hmm you could absolutely meet someone on here...no different than any other social networking site. Anything is possible, and you may just get the surprise of your life.

    Just be smart and careful when meeting anyone from the internet.

    You met your match in about a month? :noway:
    You look pretty young - be careful about who you meet online. Best to meet in a very public place.

    I know some people are worried, but there is no need to be.

    I am a good guy, and I will take care of her... I am not some weirdo or freak and most people know me from around the forums. I try and be a down to earth nice type of guy.

    We will catch up on neutral grounds and I will take special care of her! I am a fussy person, and dont just go for anyone, but Sarah and I have been talking non-stop and we get a long. So we will meet up and see how it goes.

    Please dont be alarmed guys, I am a good egg :smile:

    I always find it amusing when people say " be careful ... He could be a serial killer " ! I have plenty of friends who not only met, but got married and are very happy with the person they met online. My question to the negative old schoolers is ....

    Is it that much safer meeting Joe Blow at a local bar ???? Whether you meet at church, work, bar, Internet, through a friend or even in a hospital ... ( little humor there ) .... The bottom line is happiness !

    Do whatever makes you happy ... Live a little ... Take chances .... Never rely on advice of people who don't even know you !

    The worst part about fear ... Is never knowing what you missed out on !

    PS .... Yes, I have met a great guy right here on MFP ! :wink:

    Stuff like this can work, I'm living proof. I met my boyfriend on a message board for a pop punk band when I was 17. I'm now 25 and we're still together.
