Love on Forums?

[whigger]

Has anyone else met a significant other through a forum. I only ask because Nessie and me initially met on a now defunk VW forum. We initially arranged to meet up for the first time at a car show but circumstances put the kybosh on that. We did meet a couple of months later and spent a magical w/end in Aviemore and obviously we haven't looked back since. I always smile to myself when people ask how we met as Nessie is originally from Brighton and i lived pretty close to where we live together now in Scotland......i always lead with "Oh.....i met her on the internet" and it's amazing to see the reaction of some people.

It would just be interesting to find out if anyone else had found love over the web......and i don't mean asian-brides.com

My daughter met her boyfriend on a chat forum - they've been together over two years now When I've told people they seem to know others who've met the same way.

back in 96 when i was doing my degree, part of it was online - met a lovely young lady fellow student through the study forums and we moved in together in 97

needless to say the wife wasn't too happy about it and fought me for residency of my kids and i won but the new relationship just fell apart and i've been a (mostly) happy single parent since dec 2000

Having seen how unstuck my daughter has become on internet relationships, I'm very wary. Having said that, the last time I was "available" I met several boyfriends in bars, supermarkets, auctions etc. they were no better and no worse than the people my my daughter meets. It is only another medium. If they are going to lie about their circumstances (and they do male or female) it doesn't matter where you meet them.

I met Mrs G on a blind date and we were married 6 months later ... she obviously realised what a wonderful person she'd met

I met my OH on the internet -only agreed to met him cos he was local and look where that got me - 5 years on, 2 kids and 3 houses later and this new one with veggies and chickens. Poor man, he doesn't know what's hit him!

People still give me a funny look when I say we met online!

I met my OH on t'internet; 4 years ago - after a few weeks of enjoying myself he pm'ed me and we haven't looked back since! [Just kidding if you ever read this].

The love of my life, washes the pots and he also does all the ironing.

We bought a house together last year, and decided to make it really '4ever' by buying a Smeg together last month; romance is not dead in our house.

Have you let her open her eyes yet?

I meet my other half on the beach in Weymouth back in ... hmm.. must have been 1979. I remember going to see Led Zepplin at Knebworth. I spent the summer on the beach, I should have been back in the midlands helping with the family business. I had worked for my dad since leaving school in '77 and got paid very little. So took a few months of and came back with a wife.

met mine on-line & we're getting married at the end of June, so it worked for us but there are a lot of weirdos out there so you have to be careful

I met MR Shortie this way, except it was defiantely not love at first sight. He was a friend of a friend and I went up to chat to him. If looks sould kill I would have dropped dead there and then. He swears now he didn't look at me like that, but needless to say I didn't like him one little bit at that point.

It was only later when I got to know him that I realised he wasn't all that bad. Blimey that was nearly 10 years ago now

I love all of you lot, does that count?

Met LadyWayne when we worked at the same company some moons ago. I can still remember how she looked the first time I sawed her too.
