Slumbering, I know exactly what you mean. the last wife I had, I LOVED her. And I came to her, and we loved, we laughed, we held on fast....and then she betrayed me. More or less, we had a son with health issues, and apparently she wasn't feeding him enough. The poor child wasn't gaining any weight. I fed him every chance I got, name ably everytime I did, and once you know me some, you'll know that I love to eat. Now, we went to the doctor to try and get him help. The DFS snatched him from us. Then they put us in jail. I, knowing she had epilepsy and couldn't handle being locked up, prompted her to let her mother bail her out. Which she did. And next thing I know, I'm stuck on probation due to her 'testimony' and when I was released from county lock up, she had left me. So now I'm stuck in a state that isn't my home, away from any semblance of family, etc. I don't mind the 'net, and/or finding someone on here. But one must has to be very careful. People hardly have the same agendas. And Chief Lady, That guy was just scandalous. Just wrong. My heart goes out to you.

to conclude the quote in the OP, neither of which wish to see each other again.

To reply to the OP I definitely love online dating. I've been utilizing it since I was 18 (I'm 22 now - so not for too long) If it weren't for online dating/websites I would not have been able to meet my amazing boyfriend (whom I love very much). I have used online dating in the past - and found it to be okay...you get some duds and some studs (but that's the way it is with dating in person as well), but it's a really rare and happy occasion when you find that gem - the diamond in the rough so to speak...and I think that my current boyfriend is definitely that gem. *Hopefully he doesn't read this (since he was thinking about joining this guild) because I will look like this afterwards redface *...well it's okay if he does, he knows how I feel already. heart

I met my boyfriend on Yahoo, actually. We hung out in the same chat rooms so we'd talk every now and then but didn't get around to talking daily for awhile. A year or so of friendly conversation total but he disappeared for several months somewhere in the middle of it. When he came back, it just kinda clicked. I can't really explain why.
I was very much one of those girls who wanted nothing to do with relationships. I didn't need a boyfriend, I didn't need to date, get married, etc. I've never had very good role models when it came to relationships so I just kinda wrote it off as stupidity. Then, out of the blue (on my birthday no less!), I get a message saying "What would you say if I said I was starting to like you?" my response was "I'd say I was starting to like you too."
Really awkward way to start a relationship but hey. xD
It was tough the first year, I lived in Pennsylvania, he lived in Oregon, but we managed. He's living here with me now and we'll have been together for four years this May. Pretty awesome birthday present, I think. :3
I think internet relationships are better in a lot of ways. You have to be careful, sure, but if you can find someone that sticks and make it through all the problems that come with being far apart for so long, your relationship will only get stronger.

Dark-Blue Zeus I've had some bad experiences with it personally. but I don't see that as a reason to give up. Thats just relationships in general. I've had bad experiences meeting people in my every day life as well as the internet. I just think thats loves way of saying Hey finding someone worthy of your heart isn't going to be an easy mission..and I guess..well it shouldn't be huh?

This is probably one of the better stories that I have, at least as far as true stories and foreshadowing go.
I met her in highschool and we both pulled out the same book and the same sandwhich (but for a slice of cheese, which I still think is gross and has no place on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich). The romantic interest was far from immediate, as I found that she was a life-long lesbian. One year of friendship and a very confusing convention later, a number of things changed. I can no longer remember how many years we were together or how many of them we lived together before we were married (though I believe that the former was five) but we've now been married for a year or two.

My fiance and I met when we were fourteen, both freshmen at the same high school. We became good friends that year and both had huge crushes on each other, but neither of us wanted to make a move on our feelings in fear that our friendship might get hurt in the process. We remained friends all throughout high school until our senior year when we decided to take the plunge and started dating. Unlike all of our friends, we were extremely serious with our relationship and took everything to heart. Those strong feelings always stayed with us, all throughout college and after we both finished our education and moved in together. Last year on March 13th, after about seven years of dating, Shawn proposed to me-- I accepted!
It's so weird for me to think that I've known Shawn for almost half of my life. I know that not everyone can experience all the good I've experienced with my first love, but I hope that more and more people eventually do get the chance. <3 Shawn and I started our friendship by doing silly things in high school classrooms, like kicking each others' chairs and passing notes, and from there, it grew into something incredibly amazing. We've never turned our backs on each other and it's that type of unquestionable love that's kept me going.

jellysundae i've met some of my very best friends online.
i did have a short relationship with one but it was all a bit too quick and intense for me, distance making things impossible, so i had to end that before it got messy, but he's still the best male friend any girl could ask for.
you CAN find out who the real person is through the net, if the person you're corresponding with is honest, chatting one on one can get very deep and a really strong bond can be formed( which will either strengthen, or collapse totally when you meet for the first time)
On the down side it gives the slimy toads out there every opportunity they need to lead you up the garden path, so i'd say it's luck of the draw My x used internet dating and Gaia to meet girls he cheated on me with and he's with one of them right now. Gave them just enough truthful information to sound Lagit and the chick doesn't care when I tell her the real truth because she thinks just because they have been talking for years online that He's a different person than the guy that I was living with and the father of my child. He was dating her while we were still together also and even though she now knows that it doesn't matter because she is with him and my relationship with him is over.
