Story

I found an old friend, my college girl friend of three years--30 years ago--on the net. We began emailing, found out we were both in the process of getting divorced, and fell in love again through email. We have seen each other for a total of 10 days over the past 10 months. She is now in the process of moving from Europe back to the States. We will still not be together (about 1000 miles apart) but an affordable plane ride and daily phone call away. We are both very cautious about hurting each other, and are proceeding slowly and cautiously. The best thing about the nature of this relationship was the fact that we had to learn about each other through email first. In this way, we re-established remarkable communication skills and trust. We both came to realize that we have loved each other for all these thirty years, and when we finally became sexually active it had a totally different and much more meaningful feel than if we had not hade ten months of cyber connection first.

Story

My story is a little different than the others. Mainly because mine went from offline to online. I met my guy three years ago after placing a personal ad in a local newspaper. We talked on the phone for about two months and we finally met. It's been great. Two and a half years ago we moved to NC from Florida where both are from but after a few months due to circumstances beyond out control he ended up moving back to Florida. I live in NC. We have had this long distance relationship for two years now. I love him very much but have recently run another personal ad, this time on yahoo. I'm not looking for a relationship but I would like to meet some new people for friendship. If by some chance another relationship does develop then it does. So far my guy has made no attempts at getting moved here. He knows that I'm not moving back down there. One my life is here now. And two I'm not going back to face his terrible parents. They've done everything in their power to break us up right from the beginning. They've only let up now because we are 700 miles apart and only see each other a couple of times a year. I only recommend online dating if it's a stepping stone to an offline relationship. And I will be the first to tell you that long distance dating is very difficult and certainly for a long period of time. And if the person who proclaims love for you doesn't make an effort to get you both in the same place then it's not worth it. I love my guy very much but I can't let my life hang in limbo forever especially since I would like to maybe have a family before I'm too old to have it. Kids, I mean. If you're going to try cyberdating try to choose someone in your town or nearby. And check them out.

Story

Hi all, this is my story and let me just say it isnt over yet! In november of 99 i started talking to this really nice guy. we talked online for 6 months becuz we both had someone, then in april of 2000,i called him on the phone,that night we talked for 2 hours and the next night i called again, he told me he really liked me and god did i like this boy!! his name is matt and he is 17 he lives in california and i live in virginia,yeah far away!! so i was like well yeah we'll try something,so that night he asked me out. now its february and this is our 10 month anniversary.We have never met yet cuz my mom wont let me go and his mom wont let him come until this summer when he is 18. but i love our relationship becuz we know each other so emotionaly. i really want him to come for my 16th bday in march but im going behind my moms back to try and do it. i know that i love him so much and he feels the same way.he says that i have changed him and he has never been so much in love with someone before. i love this boy so much that im always buying phone cards, buying him shirts,and gifts,and i have all of his 50pics on my walls and in my locker,and he does the same with me.All my friends know about him and they treat us as a couple and they even talk to him too, on the net or phone.they say we are really cute and him and i have already made our plans for the future. i want to be with him forever and he feels this way too. i guess why im telling this to you is becuz i like for people to know that you can fall inlove over the net and you can marry this person and be more happy then with someone from your state.but if you would ever want to do this type of relationship make sure you are willing to stay faithful like him and i are,cuz we have been talking for over a year now, havent met and we are staying faithful. well i guess i have nothing else to say, if you want to share your story with me, just email and tell me who you are. ~TRACY~

Story

I don't know if i have really found "the one" but I know that when I do it will be online. I have had quite a few experiences online but I have never fallen deeply and madly in love. I reccomend dating online because you fall in love with the personality not the dang looks! That's the way it is supposed to be folks! Also, if you both have a picture and you have at least heard their voice once then you can pretty much tell if they are some stalker or for real! DUH! I mean, I just voice chatted with this guy named Will the other day and it was like, wow! Hearing the voice, even if it is just a recording really helps a relationship! I wish I was in love with someone becuase it sounds so wonderful but you should never rush into soemthing like that just becuase you "want the feeling of love"! It wouldn't be true! I know these 2 very devoted people. They have been going out for around 3 months online and, besides my friend lauren, have been my inspiration. I will change their names to keep them anonymous so let's rename them Julie and Dave ok? Well, today Julie was going to commit suicide for whatever reason and she told me so I stopped her and had AOL track her down. Well, Before she got offline she told me to tell her bf Dave about what she was going to do. When I told him I could almost hear his heart ripping. He seemed so depressed! He said that if she did, he would commit suicide too! That was the sadest and sweetest thing ever. He also has a very very sweet AOL profile about how much he loves her. So I'm like, I want a guy to say that about me someday. I think I have a pretty good guy right now but I cna't honestly say I am in love. Well, I guess that's it. Bye!

Story

I am totally in love with this guy. I know people say you should send pics as the first thing so you fall in love with the personality but I saw his pic as the first thing. I did fall in love with his personality though becuase it's not like a picture moves or talks. It was him e-mailing me that was most important. His name is Terry. He is very hot and sweet! I love him more than life itself but the other day I met this hot guy online and we "kissed" and Terry found out because it turns out that the guy I met (Mark) was Terry's best friend! I don't know how to explain to Terry how much I love him now. I know he will be very hurt and my best friend totally isn't helping because she's like "I feel soooooo sorry for Terry"! Well, I DO love Terry and I DO feel guilty ok?! Shit! E-mail me ok people?

I love my boyfriend more than anything he is my life! I met the most wonderful guy in the world about 4 months ago in a yahoo chatroom. I knew immediately that I loved him.....something about him totally turned me on! His name is Todd. At first I thought it could never really work becuase if my parents knew they would fry me! lol! My parents are very paranoid so they would never let me have a relationship in peace. Well, I still haven't told them about Todd. I don't know how to tell them! They would make us stop and that would be hell for me! You have no idea how I feel for Todd. True love really is possible everyone! Even if you are a "kid" or a teen! I hate it that all these people post horror stories about people stalking them becuase yeah, there are freaks out there but MOST of them are normal people just waiting for love like you and me! Also, you can sort of tell if they are stalkers, they would act abnormally old for their age or soemthing. Well, I hope me and Todd never ever break up! We've never even gotten into a fight! I love him, we are soulmates!

Story

Hey, I'm Lauren and if you read Michelle's story you would have heard her mention me. She's my best friend by the way. Anywayz, on with the story! (I'm 12 when this took place)One day Michelle and I were talking in this chat room we always go to. This guy suddenly came in. He said his name was Taylor (Tay) We talked for a while and then Mich had to leave. When she left Tay asked me to be his internet gf since we were both looking. I know it was kinda sudden but I don't think any of us thought we were actually gonna fall in love! So we talked everyday in the chat room. Finally he told me how to use email (I didn't have an email address until then) So from then on we started to email eachother!He sent me his pic and I sent him a bunch of me. Our relationship grew more and more intense and we did all this online stuff.In some places our relationship was pretty rocky cuz of these other guys online. But we never stopped loving eachother!!!!!! NEVER. If I had to I would devote my whole life to him. (I think I already have somewhat) So know i'm 13 and for valentines day he sent me a recording of his voice. Damn he is hot. That hardly matters though! I could care less what he sounded like or looked like. It's truly truly is the personality peeps!On with the story though.......so he's introduced me to his best friend and we talked alot. I found myself falling for him a bit and he told me that he loved me (the friend) now I don't know what to do! I guess the real answer is I should stick with Tay. I couldn't live without him! But......I'v had this problem before and it just tears me up inside saying no to the other guy. Ya know? Well, that's my problem so all you peeps out there........go ahead fall in love on the internet!!!!!!!!! It can work out! And especially for the younger people, don't give up trying to get in touch with the person you love even if your parents disagree with all of it. It can work!

I met Michele almost a year ago in a chat room. She was a friend of a friend. At the time I was dating her lifelong friend and developed a strong friendship with her as well. As the year progressed we found ourselves getting closer and closer. One day it struck us that we both had feelings for each other that went well beyond friendship. We have gone through your typical online dating rituals. The chatrooms. The personal IM's. Snail mail, and phone. It wasnt until we began net meeting that we realised exactly how much we really do love each other. To be able to SEE the reactions. To watch each other smile and laugh. To be able to look at one another and really know in your heart that you are being loved back has added so much to our relationship. Though our relationship lacks the most important ingredient.....the ability to touch, we have made plans. On Feb 13 2001 I will fly to California to meet Michele face to face for the very first time. We both feel that this is just the start of our relationship and I spend many hours each day looking for work in California. On the average we spend about 4 hours a day/night in online chat and another 2-3 on the phone. Sound crazy ? At first it did, but I believe that you know without a doubt when you find that special someone. If you look inside your heart and follow what it tells you, how could that be wrong ?

Story

When i first got online and started discovering chat rooms and everything, i got hooked on immediately. i had fun chatting with people and get to know them. However it wasn't until i got AIM that everythinng changes in my life.

One night, i started chatting on online and this window opened and a guy asked if he could talk to me. I agreed and in an instant i thought that he was nice. i never intended to talk to him later on, but the next night the same guy talked to me again.

we started talking about anything and everything. we found out that we had a lot in common and it was really easy talking to each other. he was really shy at that time and he went through a lot of problems, so being the person that i am, i started being nice and had compassion for him.

we exchanged e-mails and things like that and every nights from that day, we talk online. It hasn't 6 months later that we became best friends. HE wasn't really looking for a relationship but just a frienship. I was very aware that it might be dangerous to get close to someone online but this guy seemed very sincere and honest to me. Many times, i thought he might be a psycho or weird but he never showed anything of that sort.

we bonded very well and we were confident to each other, i was his only best friend. After 8 months of knowing each other, and sometimes calling each other, he admitted to me that he fell in love. i was really happy that he found someone but didn't expect the shock that would come after. He told me that he found the perfect girl but didn't want to ruin anything b/w them. I told him to be more courageous and admit his feelings for her, thinking that he met someone on his side. He finally said that he didn't plan on this but that he fell in love with his best friend meaning me. i was utterly shocked, i didn't know what to say and stopped being online for a while. i didn't know how much he was part of my life until then and missed him so much as a friend. I got online after a while, and told him that i didn't want to jeopardize our friendship and that i didn't want an online relationship but that he would always be my best friend no matter what.

he respected me and took it very well. I knew deep down that i had feelings for him but didn't wanna act on it because of the way we met. We spent a couple of months being very comfortable with each other and me being aware of his feelings for me. he never hide his feelings, always telling me that he love me and felt it very much.

after a while, i decided to give a chance. to make it short, it's been 3 months that we've been dating, i haven't seen him face to face yet but soon i will for i will go to TX and meet him for the time. it will be exciting and nerve wracking at the same time but for love for him, i would do anything. he is the one that i truelly love and love me the same way.

Story

I thought I had met the man of my dreams. We started out talking as friends and the friendship grew stronger and stronger. He was from Canada and me the United States. We had our ups and downs just like any other relationship. We talked for hours and hours for 6 months. We talked on the phone and made big plans. We decided that we was going to be together and he was going to move here and live. We went through all the planning and fine tuned them. Next thing I knew I was at the airport picking him up. Very excited about it. We hit it right off. We laughed and had fun. It was like love at first site. He acted like he was very happy here and said he needed to go back home to straighten out some paperwork for work permits and stuff. Believe all of this I took him back to the airport put him on a plane. The next time I heard anything from him he was in a chat room telling everybody how horrid I was. I was devastated. I finally figured out that I wasn't the one with the problem it was him. He was looking for a way out of his problems by adding to mine. He was looking for someone with money to take care of him so he could be lazy. He was looking for a sugar momma. He soon realized I didnt have alot of money and he flew. He left me holding a stack of bills he promised he would help pay. Not counting all the other promises he made and broke and the price of his airline ticket. He came here with $5 in his pocket and left with a bunch of goodies on my expense. But I had a hard lesson learned and maybe some day he will get paid back and someone will do the same to him. I wanted to submit this because all of the others were happy endings and I wanted to let you know that not all turn out happy. He was the devil in disquise. Beware of them. I thought I knew everything about him and it was all a lie. Right now I am in another online relationship and very happy. But I am being careful about this one and you should do the same.

Story

i am probably the shyiest person alive, i mean i am a nice person and i get along with almost anyone, but i dont make friends easily because i have always been afraid of rejection. online, however, chat rooms have provided me with a way around that, i feel like i can just be myself and say what i want, and because of that, i feel like my real personality is starting to shine thru. most of my friends i have met on the net, and i hadnt planned on any of the guys i met ever becoming more than friends with me. i mean, my thought process was, "ok ive made some really cool friends and met some cool people online, but i wont date any of them, thats for perverts who just like to have cyber sex." then i met chris, a 14 yr old from michigan. he was the first person i ever met in a chat room, and the first one i ever kept in touch with.

i didnt even plan on staying in touch with chris, but he imed me on aol instant messenger one day, and we talked for hrs. then all of a sudden we'd talk everyday after school, about everything we had to say. both of us have hard lives socially, and not many friends, and he his gf at the time told him that she cheated on him, and was still begging to stay together. he was near suicide over that, and i tried my hardest to help him thru it. chris returned the favor when my parents were having marital problems and he talked it all out with me.

a few months after i met chris, i met bill. chris and i were great friends at this point, we talked an average of 5 hrs a day, our longest being 8 straight hrs. bill i met in a chat room also, and he convinced me to give online dating a try. we were together for two months when i started having doubts. he was hardly ever online to talk, and he was older than me and his life was taking a different direction than mine. i was talking to chris about it, and he said whatever i decide he wont be behind me on it, he'll be right beside me.

then one day, chris emailed me a very long email. he said he had had a dream about me, the first one since he was 10. he said it was crazy, but he dreamed we were together as a couple. it was so sweet, the whole thing, it was mind blowing, i had no idea he thought of me that way. after all we had been thru, it was a real shocker. he even signed the email with "yours truly forever."

i was moved to tears by that email, and i thought, i must not truly be in love with bill if all i can think of is what will never be with chris. so i emailed bill, and said we needed to talk. and later we did, and we broke up mutually and we are still friends. i told chris what happened the day after that, and how i cared for him too as more than friends. so we became a couple after 4 months of friendship and sooo much talking, and we've been together for 2 months now. we have written letters back and forth thru the mail, and i recently talked to him on the phone for the first time. chris hasnt mentioned suicide once since we started dating, he is happier than ever. i've never had a bf in "real" life before, like most teenagers, and i've never even had my first kiss yet, but neither has chris, and really i dont care cuz he means more to me emotionally than pysically.

i am typing all this because i feel it is important to say that you can find love on the net, real love, not just cyber sex or flirting kind of things. if i didnt have the internet or my online friends, i would be even lonelier than i already am, and i would never have met chris, and he means everything to me. so if you think you have feelings for someone you met online, dont think like i did at the start and doubt it actually working out. you never know, people meet in all kinds of weird ways! it is totally possible to meet someone on the net and for it to be real love.

My friend is from MD and she gave me some of her friends screen names one time. Well one of them was a guy named Mike. We barely talked at first but soon we began to talk constantly. My friend told him I liked him one time and he was a bit shocked. I don't think he was comfortable with the whole online gap between us. But soon he got over it to my relief. Then Valentines Day came and it gave me the perfect chance to send one of those cards from bluemountain.com. He loved it and told me so. Since I have cousins in MD I went down there one time and met him. Since then we are happily dating online :-).

I met my current boyfriend of a year and a half, 2 in june over the internet. He and i started talking and really hit it off. We talked for over 4 months before we decided that we wanted to meet. We were both a little weary about meeting but it turned out for the best. He and I are still together and are currently talking about marriage and starting a family. To anyone thinking about getting into a online or long distance relationship, I would advise extreme caution in your selection and always be careful about meeting for the first time.
