Well I know you're just teasing so I'll ignore the gun comment. We met online in 2004 and didn't meet in person until a year later. We dated for another year and got married in 2006.

Yes, I absolutely believe in them. I met Mike (my fiancee, who is a mod here) online many years ago. We were casual friends, and lost touch when he chose to do other things with his life besides hang out on IRC in Chris' channel. Mike came back to us in IRC mid-last year. We started talking... constantly. I drove out there at the end of the year (from IL to Maine) and spent 10 days.
Most of you know the rest of the story. Mike lives with me, and has for several months. And, of course, we're getting married in a few months. :)
We have some others in our community who are married, and met online via Chris Pirillo. It's all his fault!! BigRedPimp and TSSTechAngel have been together (married) a few years now, and met through Chris' chat room. Also, there's another couple (before my time) who have been married for several years now, and met via Chris' original #lockergnome chat room.
Yes, I have met some of my best friends online. We might have lived a long way from each other but some of us have met up for a get together. It was great. I have friends who I love all over the world but I am thinking you meant men and women.
Yes, I have met someone online a couple of times who I dated a long time. Right now, I am seeing someone but not often who I met online. In today's world it is a great place to meet people if you use a bit of common sense.

Well said Kat! =]
I agree with your opinion 100% and think that people who don't believe in online love should open their eyes. I myself met my girlfriend online close to a year ago and we've become very close despite being an online couple. I've already got plans to go see her and possibly go to school where she lives to be with her and potentially get married if things go well enough. I believe that online love can be just as good as face-to-face love, and if it does become face-to-face can become even stronger. =]
I have met some of my closest friends online...and my true soulmate though fate made that an impossible relationship thanks to age differences and my commitment to another.
Yeah. I mean I would think it's like any other relations ship. Just that the net takes the place of a phone. U talk/chat then eventually u gotta meet and spend time together (I hope). Then draw conclusion from there.
I don't believe in a relationship where they've only chatted then meet and get married in a week.
yes and no, i believe starting a relationship online is possible, but maintaining it over the net for long periods of time with without physical interaction is unhealthy and will only lead to negativity.
