Hey Y'all!
I was wondering do you guys know anyone who has dated someone they met on the internet and made it work? My sister met her husband on a trivia chatroom about 4 years ago :P and I have gone out with someone I actually met on Qnet (which didn't work out but at least we're still friends)
So how about it? Know any success stories? Would you ever go out with anyone you met on Qnet?
<3 Al

I know a success story, my mate down the coast met her girlfriend over the internet. Only problem is this woman lives in the USA! But they have been together over 5 years and vistit each other quite often. My friend's older than us, around 45 and she is very happy.
I dated someone from qnet, it didn't last, but it was good. Meet up with another person from uni that i met on here too and we're friends now. I dont think internet dating is the best solution but its good if you have trouble meeting people. what do others think?

LOL i think its important that u stay safe, and take precautions to do so (im pretty sure there are resources on this website to help you with that)
looking back as a wise 23 year old, i can see how stupid i was when i was going on chat rooms etc when i was 17!! and i met my ex over the phone, through someone i met online. it kidna worked out, i mean we were together for 41/2 years, but he was an asshole, so,.... lol
i think it can work really well,but i think you also need to be realistic, and just make sure that you stay safe.

My last few relationships have been online, only because I've had trouble meeting people in my area. I'm currently dating a guy from adelaide, but he seems uncommitted to doing anything else than ringing me every fortnight... I suppose it depends, I think if you really want a relationship to work long distance, you have to work for it.. because it can be really easy, or really hard to cope with.

Dad: "How do you know you're gay?"
Me: "Because when I look at naked girls, all I think about is who did their hair."
Dad: "Fair enough."

Me: I don't know. How many kinds of poofter are there?

I like it when new people come to qnet, they dig up all the old posts ^_^

Two of my really amazing good friends met each other on the internet (world of warcraft, in fact).  Boy went to visit Girl (Australia ---> America), they got married over there, and then Girl came to live with Boy (America -----> Australia).  Girl has just given birth to Girl Jr (three days ago!) and Liam and I are going to go visit her to teach her about DIVERSITY.  Cos, you know, that pretty much sums up our relationship.

Anyhoo, I thought it was a nice story.  Another friend also met his partner through a game (this one was text based) and they are living together now.

I once dated a girl who I met on the internet, but she was introduced to me by someone I knew.  I don't know about everyone else, but that makes a big difference to me: I don't think I could agree to date someone if I didn't have some kind of third party evidence that they were a real person, so to speak.  Having said that, I would not normally host a movie night for a large group of people I had never met before, either o_0 so obviously my values are hardly fixed in this matter.

Er... be safe :P

Sometimes there are people I already know, whom I then meet online, and often that really opens things up.

Like, to my surprise, there was an amazingly, intimidatingly handsome guy on the bus last year.

I just met him online, tonight, and he remembered me and now we've got each others' cell phone numbers!!!

I dated someone I met online. We had a very good, long relationship together, but grew apart. Still very good friends but.

I saw that more than 50% of people dating online were single before they met someone via a social network and they don`t know how to treat that person..
