Answer 1

Yes I have

HONESTY BEFORE MARRIAGE

Answer 2

Yes ...I met my guy online, 4 years ago, and we are getting married in October!

Answer 3

Yes, we've been together for 11 years.  

Answer 4

met on Yahoo! Personals. Known for 6 years, married for 5 this Saturday.  

Answer 5

Yes and it was going fine for 3 years, until he screwed up and now the trust is not there fully anymore. Can you men ever keep it in your pants?, or does it have to wonder all the time to new s******g grounds?.

Answer 6

Rarely, because people tend to sugar-coat things when they think that they can get by with it, and it is in their interest to do so.  The true test of time is being with each other on a regular basis, in order to see the daily reactions, and unplanned reactions to situations, as well as the lifestyle.

Answer 7

I met my mate online 4 years ago. Now we're married and have a baby. I believe that online contact allowed us to express ourselves and what we had within, without being concerned with appearances and impressions, for long enough to know that, when friendship developed to romance, it was meant to be so.

Answer 8

My uncle met the love of his life over the internet about 4 years ago. I think the key to remmeber is not to assume a false identity. When youre on the computer you say things that you normally wouldnt in person, and since no one can really SEE you, you can be whoever you want to be. I think being honest about who you are is the best thing in that situation

Answer 9

My bf his mom has met her bf on here.  They have been together for about 12 years now.  They online dated for 3 years and then she moved to florida to be with him.  They would visit each other in the 3 years every few months.  I think as long as YOU are honest yes you can find true love on here.  But some answeres are right when they say people sugar coat everything.  

Answer 10

Yes of course. I found my bf on IRC, we exchange MSN then write for a month and a half every single day then we thought we should meet each other...and after a week or 2 we hook up and we r together for 7 months, its going great and I don't ever wanna be with anyone else.So I know for fact that meeting a person on-line CAN turn into a wonderful relationship cuz I do know that whatever is going on betwean me and my bf changed my life for good forever and I don't want this to end.
