Me and my fiance also met online. I agree with alot of you, you do need to be careful. I myself have had a very close call! I was almost raped by a guy that I met online luckily, I was able to kick him where it hurt and run out the door. I was smart and brought a friend with me, but wasnt smart enough to realize that when he wanted to "show me something upstairs" he really didnt have anything to show me besides how much of a loser he was. So anyways, I am very greatful that i didnt stick to my plan of giving up on men, because shortly after that ( about 2 weeks) I met my fiance! We dated for only 1 1/2 months before we got engaged (10/22/08) and we are getting married September 18,2010! I cant wait to become Mrs. Harris!!

My fiance and I met on Match.com too! He contacted me once, I ignored because I was over with the dating scene, he contacted me again seeing that I was still on the site (obviously still single). We talked one night on the phone and the rest is history. Boy, would I have missed out if I hadn't shaped up and responded to him! We met in April 07, got engaged in February 09, and will be marrying next year in 2010.

I met my fiance on Myspace. 8 months later he moved to Texas to be with me and we are getting married next year. You do have to be careful..But it is possible to find your soul mate online.

I met my fiance on plentyoffish.com...I said "hi" to him and we emailed a few times...next thing you know we were talking on the phone for a few weeks whenever we had free time. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful experience with online dating...and even more blessed to have found such a wonderful guy! :-)

Yep, Match.com worked for me too. My boyfriend of 5 years (husband to be) found me there. I was on his last page of matches. I had a free profile only, so when he wrote me a letter I signed up for the "3 free days." :-) The rest is history.

Before that I had my most painful blind date ever thanks to eHarmony. Ugh...

I agree that dating sites do work... I met my fiance 2 years ago on Match.com - he was actually the first and only person I met there! He however had a few interesting dates and was about to give up when I "winked" at him. I think dating sites are just as "hit or miss" as trying to meet a good guy in a bar.

My husband and I met through www.match.com almost 4 years ago!

It was my first time with online dating and the only reason I joined is because the company I was with then offered free 6-month memberships to employees so I figured why not, I literally had nothing to lose. I found hubby's profile the day after my profile was approved and we had our first day on New Years 2005 and have been together ever since :-) We just got married this past April

Dating sites do work, but you not only do you need to be careful - sometimes you just need to be lucky. I met my fiance on www.catholicmatch.com. He proposed after a year of dating. We are getting married 6/5/10.

I also met my better half on a dating site called Australian Friend Finder(AFF)(oh im australian by the way)just over 2 years ago. he lived in another state so we also dated long distance for 12 of those months. He's Airforce so he couldnt move so i move to be with him. And he proposed In July this year and we are getting married in April next year. So yes i agree that dating sites work and so does long distance. :D

Congratulations.

Before I met my husband to be, I tried jdate and it was a nightmare. I am happy that it worked for you. Best wishes.

I met my husband on an on-line dating website (JDate.com) and so did my sister (same site)! It does work but you also need to be careful about who/where you meet for the first few times. I have some horror stories from friends but my experience on-line was great! I highly recommend it!!

I met my better half via an internet dating site five years ago. Our first date was on Valentines Day 2004 and we were engaged 6 months later. We were hoping to tie the knot this year but the recession has put paid to that and I doubt it will happen next year either. So roll on 2011/12. This will actually be my second wedding but my new partners first, hence I am desparate to lose weight so I can both look great and feel great too.
