    I met my husband in March 1998 playing a game called Ultima Online.
    We've been together ever since. I moved from Houston to Phoenix in January 1999 and we got married in December 1999. For us it worked.

    My brother's best friend (who is like my big brother too) married a girl he met through match.com on the same day I married my husband. Weird huh? Well, they were divorced before their first anniversary. So theirs is an example of it not working. It's not something that works for everyone.

    Good luck!

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

    Wow neat, I met my hubby from the online game Star Wars Galaxies. I was certainly not looking to meet my future husband from a video game, but it just happened. I think that as long as you're careful, online dating is a great way to meet people.

    Yes, online dating definitely has its scary moments. I am so lucky I met hubby as the third guy I dated from the dating site. The first one was AWESOME on the computer, a dud in person. The other one was charming on the computer and a total bore in life (he thought he was God's gift to everything ) Then I met hubby. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Well I'm glad it's worked for some people. I'm just looking at profiles. Just doing the free stuff right now and just wanted to know if it's really worth it.

    I met my ex of 7yrs on ICQ... it was good at first, then he turned abusive & ya... hes now an ex... dated 3 other guys from a site called plentyoffish.com (known as POF & its for Canada, the USA & Europe). all 3 were duds...

    Just play it SMART, & you never know who you'll find on there! But its not instant... I've been on it for over a year now.

    I met my BF over 4 years ago on match.com. Some tips I can give about online dating is:
    1. Always meet during daylight hours in a public place.
    2. Always make sure someone knows where you are.
    3. Have someone call you so far into the date so you can have a way out if you are not liking it or are uncomfortable. My friends also did this just to make sure I was okay. So I always told my date I HAD to answer the phone. If I didn't they'd sent out the search party for me.

    Of course my first date with current BF was at 3pm and we ended up going up to Tahoe and spending the night in his condo. BUT he never even kissed me.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Not just online dating, but ANY meeting from the internet.

    4. Take someone with you. (If it's a date the person you take can depart with in five minutes. At least they seen what the person you are with looks like.)

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
